Cinematic Preview

A Trip to the Colosseum

"Hear ye, hear ye", calls the town crier as the citizens of Umbria gather around the announcing podium. "In celebration of this cinematic contest, Emperor Arkantos has sponsored games. In the splendid city of Rome her citizens have built a wonder not matched throughout the ages. Come, together we shall visit this marvel and witness the grand spectacle".

And so a group of Umbrians pack into transports and make the journey to the city of Rome where they see combat feats of titan proportions!

Combat Program

I Hades' heroes versus evil mythical creatures
II King Nefarious' Royal Migdol Formation Riding Team
III Recreation of the second fall of Carthage (okay, with a twist)

Another angle of the emperor

The final battle

I am just having the piece playtested to see if the really wide-angled stuff lags too much. I design on a P4 with a clock >2Megs and the final sequence slows down a bit. I think, though, that the shot is worth it. While it would be nice to use many more angles during the battle sequences, probably best to save "playability".
