Revision as of 05:25, 24 October 2007
Lawson is a wholly average Allegiance player with a knack for scripting and recording game narrations. His voice is featured in the later training missions in Allegiance R4 and later.
In addition to narrating training missions, Lawson has created several training-style videos. Most of the videos are considered proof-of-concept; all content as of October 2007 has been completely unscripted, using real game footage recorded during pickup games.
Google Video
The most convenient host for Lawson's content is Google Video.
- Training Sample - Bomber Sample - 2 min 18 sec
- Posted Jan 7, 2007. Unscripted game footage edited as if it were an upper-level training video, although no particularly advanced topic is addressed. Shows a fighter launching to defend a base against an inbound bomber; the defense succeeds with the destruction of the bomber.
- Training Video Intro Reel - 55 sec
- Posted Feb 11, 2007. This video is a teaser, as if it were the first part of a full training session, leading into the Game Overview Test video to follow.
- Game Overview Test - 6 min 17 sec
- Posted Feb 21, 2007. Provides a training mission feel, from game start, including a freeze frame of the overhead map with a description of each part. This video is somewhat slower paced, but provides substantial detail explaining why certain things are being done, as well as some clarification of abbreviations seen in chat. A FileFront version of this video was removed from FileFront by their automatic "deletion of low-use files" policy.
- Constructor Fight (PAL) and Constructor Fight (MPEG4) - 4 min 4 sec
- Posted March 23, 2007. Two constructors aim for the same asteroid, causing a massive, dense dogfight. The video is narrated and heavily edited with zoom and highlighting effects in the first 2 minutes; the second half replays the entire sequence with no editing. Due to screen density, the video is somewhat blurred. As a side note, this video demonstrates a few novice tendencies, including nanning while out of range, and nanning while a target is not yet taking armor damage. The PAL version is much smoother to play on Google Video. For reasons unknown, the MPEG4 version hitches badly, but has good audio. The MPEG4 version may be removed later.
FileFront
FileFront provides free content hosting for files of almost any size. One drawback to FileFront is pervasive advertising; also, files which are not viewed or downloaded frequently will be deleted from FileFront after a warning email to the file owner.
