video series SimCity (2013) Cinematics | #1 & #2 - The DumplingPod

[DumplingPod 0]

Hello!! Welcome to the Dumpling Pod!
 
This is my first time posting to the Simtropolis Forums!!
 
I decided to try and take advantage of the beautiful new SimCity and make some cinematics! The new tilt-shift camera and amazing 3D buildings create an excellent looking cinematic. I took a few shots of two cities that I built over the past few months and created 2 cinematics. I would definitely like to learn about different camera tools that allow for more control, so if anybody has any tips, please feel free to tell me!\

 

I've always wanted to do cinematics of cities, but real cities are hard to do as they require helicopters for flyovers and much more expensive equipment! When I tried SimCity 4, I thought it would be possible, but due to the 4 view camera, it seemed quite silly. SimCity 5 was the first SimCity game that included a much more dynamic camera, which allows for a much cooler cinematic. 

 

At the time, there weren't too many cinematics for SimCity 2013, so I decided to get crakin'. They might not be 1080p, but they're 720p. My goal was to create a seamless cinematic that looks like a cinematic in a real city.
