Hi guys,

 

I felt pretty motivated today to make some form of an LCPDFR Promo video or some type of "advertisement" for LCPDFR, when the ideas and scenes came pouring in. With permission from the Development team, the Community Team (moderators/administration) and the Testing team (I won't leave you guys out!), I will begin working on this. I ask permission because I plan on using LCPDFRs resources to the max to make this mod look its absolute best. If I start now, I estimate that it will be ready in about 2 weeks, give or take depending on workload and if I have to do anything else before college :3.

 

This is my youtube, I've done a few LCPDFR patrols (I don't commentate, it feels weird talking to a PC...) and hope to do some MP ones in the future with people.

Yours truly,

m_m_fatcop ;D

You dont need anyones permission to advertise lcpdfr...that seems pretty obvious.

I'm not a Developer, but I don't think you really need permission. People make all kinds of LCPDFR videos. Especially if your video is going to promote it, there's no need to ask. 

In other words..... JUST DO IT hahah which I was in town and Id give you a hand

Awesome, just making sure. Reason being permission, is also I will try to use a lot of cars, like a LOT, so I guess I might have to talk to the owners of the cars for that. OR, if you would like me to use your car pack (depending on how many car choices I have and suggestions/permissions I receive, it may or may not be used. Also, asking permission because I'll be using some audio and tinkering with LCPDFR directly from the folders. I'll try to bring attention to the lesser known modders too.

 

You all are free to add ideas or suggestions, I have a few in mind already, I just need to make them "compatible" so it doesn't look like we're jumping scene to scene. I may add a "skeleton" to the video, meaning the basic ideas and the timeline of what goes where (example: 0:00 niko riding bike; 0:05 niko falls off bike; 0:10 niko gets run over by limo; etc), or if you prefer surprises then I'll keep quiet haha.

 

Meanwhile, you could check out my YT channel to give you a feel of what to expect, top post. I upload whenever I can, my upload speed is really slow so I sometimes do it overnight.

Update, so I have some foundation set out, it should be around 1:30 to 2min if I stick to the timer and all footage goes well. BUT, due to windows being a buttface, I have to reformat my PC so that it can update. For those of you watching my channel, I will upload everything I had that was in progress within the next 2 days (should be 2 videos). Sorry guys! I just hope I can get back on track quickly after all this data I'm going to lose.

It's a challenge to create something. You have it all planned out in your head, but just then, while you are 1/2 through it you realize that something doesn't make sense. When composing a production, remember that the audience's attention span is always much shorter than the directors. If you're planning on making a Promo, I would suggest sticking to 45 seconds - 1 minute. I remember a while back I released a first episode of a production that I was working on. All went well, got 2K views and it held there. This episode was 30 min long. Only first 10 were being watched. I decided to do a test, so I did a small snippet of extra footage I had, and views skyrocketed. I'm not meaning to boast, but my point is to always look at analytics. If you'd like to know what I'm talking about above, just visit D.F.S. TV on Youtube, and look at Trucking Thru America; Extras : Reversing a Big Rig. Hope I helped you out!

You don't need permission from anyone. Nobody asks Rockstar for permission on making GTA IV videos so you shouldn't have to ask us or modders permission to make a video of LCPDFR or their cars.

Rockstar actually has given consent to make videos of their games, back when all the gameplay copyright stuff was going on. So really, there is no need to ask permission because they already gave it.

You don't need it anyway. Game videos come under fair use.

Which is why I planned ahead and mapped everything out while I was with a useless computer for half a week. My channel's primary focus was on my friends, didn't care if public liked or hated. Then I decided to expand to the public since everyone was liking and subscribing, and I decided to start with continuous LCPDFR, and this promo is going to be my first big project since the expansion update. 1 minute is way too short for all the features in LCPDFR, part of my plan is to show the audience that LCPDFR has a wide variety of options to choose from, almost all fully customizable, and it just gets better.

 

Update v1.2 on my PC and "getting back on track" : Slowly refinding all my old mandatory files (video editing and whatnot) and eventually GTA4 will finish downloading. I also just realized college starts next Tuesday (PST) so all I can say is damnit.jpeg. If college gets out of hand and too much work comes my way, I will put this off until LCPDFR for GTA5 comes out and fully promote that (it was a second plan to do after this promo video).

Update 1.3:

 

I am proud to say my classes seem to be more open (as of RIGHT NOW) and some spare time has been found. I will begin working on this over the weekend, or as early as Friday afternoon, and in total time (if I worked on it nonstop, including filming, editing, rendering, uploading, and NO errors whatsoever), this should take me about 24 hours. Thanks for the support so far!
