I was wondering where I can find information or tutorials on making those game intros (trailers) at the beginning of a lot of games.
If you don't know what I mean I can better explain here.

Thanks for any information.

?

This is like a tutorial about "How to make a good film"

I don't think you will profit from any tutorial here. watch good films and analyze whats happening.

Study lighting, damaturgy, character developement, and about everything else and you will make good game intros.

Although those are the steps to make a good film..I am more interested on what programs make the movies for the game intros and what not. I got the idea and possibly the art, but I need to know what procedure is in making those intros, like format they are in and what program makes them?

Like the beginning intro movie in Quake III Arena...how was that made and done? That is mainly what I need.

Thanks for the information though.

I know that quite some movies in games are simply avi files played from within the program. Most of them are produced with a 3d render package like Max or Lightwave.

Thats basically what you need if you want to make 3d render only movies.

The other option would be film.. I think faustgfx mentioned a film group he is in, maybe he knows more on that.

err.. I was about to reply when I noticed that the thread is 5 YEARS OLD. Only some russian guy replied just now for some reason. And have no clue as to what it says.

Is it spam? A quick google for "Zahvati_RU" shows "he" is newly registered on ALOT of forums and the very same messege shows up on several of them.

Maybe we should have nuked Russia when we had the chance. Really, this all makes you wonder if there are Americans posting stuff like, "GO TO YAHOO.COM PORTAL FOR BIG ENTERTAINMENT SO FUN, IMPRESS YOUR FAMILY AND COMRADES" on Russian websites.
