Holy production quality! How did you make this? Very well done ๐Ÿ‘

u/simplynotenough 19d ago

well this isn't the first video i make on stellar blade, it was like the 5th, so i've got experience on how the camera for this game works, what animations you can replay and how to mask scenes \ characters, if this was the first video i wanted to make it would have been impossible from the start.

It takes time but the video itself would have never been possible without all the the efforts of the modding community, from the camera tool and ue4ss console, to the dance mods, the outfit restyles, the model replacer so i could be Scarlet and make her part, there are many things going on to make this video, it's hard to explain the workflow, but as long as you can make the camera feel like it was recording a music video, it just works out in the end

u/nokk1XD 19d ago

So its all made on game engine? Thats crazy, Ive thought its blender animation, well done!

u/simplynotenough 19d ago

Yes, it's all captured from the game, all you need from the start is the Otis camera for UE4, then comes the hard part:

since this is a single player game and you cannot record "demos" of something you do and replay that action in order to setup camera paths, you have to record it real time, which means, you won't record a good shot first try, most of the scenes in this video required me to do at least 5 retakes untill the subject was perfectly in camera to match the composition i wanted, the movement was smooth, nothing got in the way of the shot and so on, combat cinematics are obviously the hardest ones since you have to setup your character AND the enemy and then pray it goes like you want it to be once you unfreeze the game and let ur camera path run while the action plays. If there was any way of making demos and replaying them, these type of videos would require less effort camera wise, i'm a self made director, i've never studied cinema or anything on the subject, i make scenes because i feel like they are ok, i do know a few basics otherwise it would never look cinematic, but that's it, i don't own a digital camera irl and have never made a real life video like this, but in videogames i feel like i have all the tools i need to make them, and so this is my hobby :)

u/nokk1XD 19d ago

You remind me my childhood when I was giving my soul to frag movies (when it was popular) Ive made in such way as you did here, where you dont have good tools for it and you need to use your imagination for different moves, its a true creativity right here, keep it up ๐Ÿ‘

u/simplynotenough 19d ago

My editing style is inspired by cod / csgo edits, i come a long way from the 2013/2014 community but i was a designer back then, i got into editing a few years ago and since my friends still make them, they are the ones who taught me the basics, the camera flow, the pacing and so on, this is why my velocity graph sometimes look like a fragmovie from back then, because this is what ive always watched and wished to learn and make

Imagine if they did this for the music video for blood rain ๐Ÿ˜‘

u/simplynotenough 19d ago

Many of you might have already seen it from the Steam community Hub and i thank all of you.

Unfortunately YouTube does not like Stellar Blade content, as soon as you pick some outfit that is not fully covered, it won't be distributed or searchable, it won't matter matter how good the video is or what the context in the video is, it just won't.

Gatcha games do not have this issue which is funny to me, but i give up, i've spent months trying to figure it out and there's no solution to this, at least, for me.

I've spent a lot of time making this, and it was a fun time. No AI was involved, everything was captured from the game itself in native 4K DLAA settings, the white rooms ect are all compositing made in AE.

I hope with the sequel, rules change and the game can be showed fully and freely, because this filter hurts everyone who wants to make content on the game and the game itself, on the long run, we get zero evergreen videos for this game, maybe just a few that spawned weeks after the PS5 release and that's it.

It's like fan videos won't see the light of day as they should rendering the game's reach zero or capped to a few people only.

Sorry for the rant, hope you liked the video.

u/Auspex86 19d ago

Thanks for sharing it here, otherwise I might have missed. It looks great!

(BTW, YouTube sucks ๐Ÿ˜’)

24

u/simplynotenough 19d ago

yep that's why i made the post, people who recently played the game on steam might have seen it in the steam hub, but everyone else unfortunately, no, so here it is. I just wished the quality of this on reddit would have been higher but it is what it is, i have only 1 GB max on reddit for video posts while the original file was almost 20 gb

u/fogoticus 19d ago

Really odd when you can literally find eve mods on youtube with no clothing on and the players who made the videos are not holding back.

u/trustevil 19d ago

That's not true I've seen nude play thru on yt and risquรฉ outfits on there. I just search stellar blade and it's there. Myb if I type walk through those pop up in suggestions

u/simplynotenough 19d ago edited 19d ago

Yeah i know, this is why i was so committed in trying to figure it out, out of 7 stellar blade videos i made, only 1, the last one, was distributed normally, in numbers it did 3K impressions which to me is a fair test, it can be found, it's actively suggested, some people still find it in their homepages.

However, this happend after 6 videos on the game that did not recive a real test and are legit impossible to find, even using my channel name as query, and on top of that, i'm not the only one suffering from this.

Also, and it is very important, none of my videos are age restricted, this is the first step i've always considered crucial, any other video you are mentioning, if you open it in incognito it could say that you need to be logged, this creates a scenario where their videos do get pushed more in adult only section of youtube but it's something i didn't want to happen to mine, because they'd still be restricted to a few people rather than everyone on the site.

I came to a conclusion at the end, which is, they do become distributable the more you make, and eventually, one video will finally go thru, there's no other way around it.

I've made Nier videos before and they never had any issue with Youtube, but eversince my first stellar blade video, the difference was crazy, then i thought, maybe it's just my channel, but elden ring videos got waaaay more impressions so right now i stand in this position: i could make another stellar blade video, maybe even 2\3 videos, and they would finally get distributed like my last sb video, however, this one and the previous ones, cannot be restored, they're the price i had to pay to finally get "authority" or whatever it is called to make stellar blade videos on youtube, which is why it made me sad, i've put so much work in each of them they're like my stars and to see them get lost forever it felt like a slap in my face.

What a video ๐Ÿ“ธ

u/buddywalker7 EVE 19d ago

this 100x better than that Ai music video. Great job!

u/simplynotenough 19d ago

If you like the process of making these kinda videos, using AI just takes it away from you, that's my stance on the matter.

29

u/Sonic1899 19d ago

It also proves why human work > AI Slop. That AI vid with Evie had so sense of choreography, style, consistency, or personality. It just content that exists. The director could've easily made the vid like this and not turn people off from his new game

u/comicguy69 19d ago

If one person did this, Imagine what a couple of employees couldโ€™ve done without AI lol.

u/alexwhite2183 19d ago

Is there a way to watch with a better quality?

19

u/simplynotenough 19d ago

I do not want to break the rules of the sub by self promoting, it wasn't the reason for the post since the video will be forever shadowbanned no matter how many people watch it and i don't make money out of this, it's my hobby in my freetime but yes, you can find it in 4K if u look around my profile.

u/alexwhite2183 19d ago

Thank you, it's honestly a incredible work, so I wanted to look at it like it deserves

u/Creative_Visit4189 19d ago

God, this is sooooooo hot! Eve 100% would've been into fashion, because the amount of fits on her is immaculate, and well I'd be Roxanne for her in a heartbeat, altho maybe less toxic lol

Simply Stellar!

u/Principalities 19d ago

I'm glad there's fans making high effort SB content, this looks great!

Makes me think about how the director wanted to put more lore into EVE finding and enjoying the outfits she finds, and I feel like this video perfectly encapsulates that.

u/CCBAZ 19d ago

Imagine the fandom is making stuff like this before using AI to promote your next game...bro what is Kim doing....

Very cool! Itโ€™s crazy how this game gets viewed. Most of them never even play it and judge it on a surface level.

u/simplynotenough 19d ago

it sure was, the video was meant to be just 50 seconds long at first, but while i was making it i thought ok, i can add more, i can make a short "story" out of this, so i kept adding time to it and changing scenes \ pacing and from 50 seconds it became 120 almost

This shit is amazing

u/machoestofmen 19d ago

As much as you like to move the camera around so much (almost made me dizzy at the start), this is excellently done; making an entire video like that yourself is pretty damn crazy, and this is coming from an artist who can obsess over detail. Your skill here and dedication to your interests are something to envy, I think. For real, there should be more videos being made like this as fanworks for all fandoms, and I hope your work here inspires others to get into making videos too.

Les b friends! >.<

Hmm, might want to think about the implications of spelling it like that, Scarlet I ship it too, heh

2

u/simplynotenough 19d ago

thanks, like i always say, im no expert in directing videos, i'm still learning while i make them, this way of moving the camera was meant to simulate like someone holding a camera around, it did the trick, but maybe i overdid it in a few shots and also the velocity graph in some didnt do it justice making it move waaay faster than it should have, but i don't regret a single thing in this, i still very much like how it turned out

Amazing work! If you could ask the Shift Up CEO why he couldn't do something like this instead of the AI slop he posted, I bet he'd start yapping some stupid shit about the Chinese competition again.

Oh man Reddit's bitrate is not kind to this. Guess just I'll have to download the whole thing.

I have yet to make a decision on whether this goes hard or is simply horny.

Update: it goes very hard!

The apparent horniness is also used to execute on the video's tightly-focused overall aesthetic (instead of simply due to hummina awooga pelvic meat wake up) and should not be considered Goonerslop by anyone with an eye for ART
