EPTI just purchased the GSL Oct. ticket and began watching FXO_z vs. ST_SUPERSTAR and became lost by the awesomeness displayed before my eyes.[.link.]
Anyone in the business know what it takes to produce top-tier 3D-animations like this regularly?

Considering what a lot of fellow students can achieve with 3D programs I doubt they invested a lot of money in those 3D openers. They do look nice but I wish they did more with the players making it more personal and memorabele for the tournament. | ||

1 - They do nothing to promote player branding - that is, the personality and playstyle of players. It's all 3D mechanisms, all the time. Not really starcraft related or player related or RTS related. I think GOM just hired a 3D whiz agency that does this thing as their specialty but is not a creative agency in the sense they can do marketing and produce personable videos with broad appeal like the OSL ones. Casual fans don't watch SC for sci-fi as much as they do for individual player personalities they identify with. 2 - They are too similar too each other between seasons. Granted, GSL has is more difficult since they have seasons so close together, but each video is so similar, it almost seems like a waste of resources to do a new one - why not just pick one and go with it? | ||

In BW we had drafts and Player exchanges inbetween the seasons so its hard to do an intro that is not outdated by the time it airs right now. Earlier intros were Starcraft related tho. | ||

I didn't say anything about teams. Hype up the individual players, and show live action video footage of people, cities, etc (unless it's the comic book style). | ||

And this intro is okay compared to how it has been the other seasons, but one thing I think totally ruins the whole intro and "hype" is that the song and intro fades away and there is like 1 second of silence and then you hear a new song from a completely different category and some studio shots. What they should do is to continue playing the intro song when they get into the studio shots and filming the players in the booths. Hopefully someone gets what I'm meaning, I'm so tired so I can't write so good atm T_T | ||

I do like the GSL intros, but I love the old BW intros. I wasn't very much into BW so I'm not familiar with the players as such, but the intros are so amazing. My favourite is the EVER OSL 2009 | ||

Kinda hard to justify spending the money on a cool intro that shows off the players when half of them will be gone in a week. Fancy OSL/MSL intro's are usually done for the Ro16, not Ro32 or 36. The structure of these tournaments means that these rounds generally last 2-4 weeks, which makes it easier to justify including everyone. | ||

Frankly NASL has a long road ahead if they're going to be anywhere as professional as GOM | ||
