Number #46 on the Samuraiko Productions roster is a teaser trailer for my other favorite game - the newcomer to the MMORPG scene, RIFT! With a rich history, lush graphics, spiffy music, and an AWESOME system, it's just so much fun to play! (No, I haven't forgotten CITY OF HEROES.) I got into RIFT just as the beta was ending, and fell in love with the game. Now with characters on both sides of the war (both Guardian AND Defiant), it's a blast seeing how the same events have affected the two halves of Telara.
I wanted to try my hand at an ad for the game, and RIFT proved to be a far greater challenge than COH for one big reason... RIFT has no /demorecord feature. Which meant I had to shoot and reshoot footage until I got it right. However, Shadefallen Server has an awesome community of players who cheerfully helped out by directing me toward rifts, posing for shots, offering advice, running interference when I needed tougher monsters out of the way, and general encouragement. So this is for you guys!
The music for this ad is the audio for the trailer to the DA VINCI CODE. A rapid blend of several different cues (some of which I still haven't been able to identify), its almost religious choral feel, driving rhythm, and sheer scope so beautifully suited the setting of RIFT that I had to use it.
I'm looking forward to creating more videos for RIFT in future! And maybe I'll get lucky and they'll add /demorecord! :)
Like my other videos, this one is tagged as Samuraiko Productions, for those who follow my work. Enjoy!
