Guild Wars 2

I finally started on a project I wanted to do for a very long time called ‘The Sights & Sounds’.

Guild Wars 2 was always a big inspiration for its beautiful landscapes and something many people don’t stand still to notice, the sounds that go with that landscape.

I’m still figuring out how long each ‘scene’ would stay but i like the amount of time i’m using in the Bloodstone Maw one.

I know something similar has been done before, but sadly most people only do 2 – 3 of these and stop doing them, and i don’t want these videos to be a fully fledged ambiance videos. My goal is to visit as many of these beautiful areas as possible, and they are initially intended to have a story about the area to go with them on a site I’m still working on!

Bonus photo album with many Guild Wars 2 photos I’m quite proud of having taken!

Hello again! I determined 10-minute videos, with different angles, worked the best for me and kept things more interesting. I chose to not do an entire map in a single video since most maps are too big with too many things i want to show.
Each angle stays for around 2 min and 30 seconds now, wich may be still too much but the videos are meant to be more relaxing and meant to sit back and enjoy.

Here is another Sights & Sounds of the Fractured Caldera in Ember Bay:

Another week, another Sights & Sounds, i’m starting to feel like 10 minutes is too long, and want to cut it down to 5 minutes. I’d like to do moving angles but usually enemies get in the way.

Holy cow I’m really digging this. It’s nice to have for ambiance. Personally I like the 10 minute times but agree that the 2.5 minute cuts between angles are a bit on the long side for me.

Great stuff so far!

Thank you!
This week I decided on Prospect Valley in Dry Top, I made two different versions, one with and one without music. I’m also trying a shorter video in favor of keeping things more interesting.

Would love to hear what people prefer. I feel like I’m slowly getting better with this each video.

Next week’s should be the demo area for PoF!

As mentioned in my previous post, here is the Sights & Sounds of Amnoon. Obviously, don’t watch this if you want to avoid anything that had to do with the demo weekend and want to go in fresh at launch.

This is the first Sights & Sounds i’m fully satisfied with!
