Happy New Year Everyone!
So I was playing BP2 and was inspired by the fantastic and atmospheric final cinematic to do something myself. This is my first crack at doing anything in FRED, so it took quite a while to put together. And now it's finally finished!
This is an in-game cutscene trailer with no post-changes. I wanted to see how far I could take the cutscene SEXPs. It could use some more polishing, but it's finally at a state I feel comfortable releasing. So here's a look at the result.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhAR8rWPluQThis was made using stock assets and MediaVPs 3.6.12
I apologize for the poor framerate and encoding. FRAPs is terrible on my laptop--I had to do a lot of audio resyncing afterwards. I assure you it looks much better in-game at 1080p. Perhaps I could get someone with a proper rig here to FRAPS it at 1080p
And of course I will be releasing the actual mod so you can all view it with your preferred settings.
Cheers everyone!

Voila! Here you go.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=X39I79D5The modded table in the mediaVP data is just to get rid of some flaring. Let me know if you've got a better way of doing it.
Otherwise, just extract into respective folders.
Flag Settings:
-ambient_factor 0 -ogl_spec 50 -spec_exp 15 -spec_point 1.1 -spec_static 1.7 -spec_tube 1.5 -bloom_intensity 100
Post-Processing:
Fury's Pack (strong)
In-game settings:
-set music 3-4 notches more than sound; set voice off (there might be some jump speech)
For FRAPSing, my laptop is a Core i7 720QM, 8gbDDR3 RAM, 1G ATI 5870 Mobile (equiv 5770) and it chugs, so you'll need something a little better.
A couple of people mentioned they could record it in 1080p. Please note, a.i. being what it is, each shot is not 100% consistent in terms of composition so you might have to run it a couple times to get the best version. This also allows for some neat or humorous surprises.
Anyways, I look forward to seeing everyone's own version. I guess this cutscene is now in beta
