The suggestion for Race Teaser Videos (linked below) has been tagged as approved, though it now needs volunteers to actually make it possible:
Suggestion - Race Teaser Videos | MassiveCraft Forums

In concept, these teasers will offer a quick glimpse at the race in an appropriate character skin, it'll show off special gameplay mechanics (if it has any), it will give a preview of the race's building style, and will have an accompanying musical theme to match the vibe of the race. This also creates a number of roles that need filling to make this idea even possible, as it's purely volunteer work. To help with this, I need a few people who can fill one or multiple of the following roles:

1. Skin creation
2. Someone who can clearly show off game mechanics in a controlled environment
3. A person who can act as a "camera man" to record the person showing off the race visually, and to overview the building style. The MassiveCraft texture pack and a smooth FPS is a must.
4. A video editor and creator (must be high quality)
5. Someone who can compose an original short musical theme for each race.
6. Designing race styles from scratch, based on racial descriptions.

The music composition I can handle, and I can contribute in a number of other areas too. Most notably, the teasers need both high quality video recording and essentially professional level video editing, which is something I'm lacking experience in. If we're going to do these teasers, which would help advertise the server and support the community, we want them to be as polished as possible. If there's enough people willing to volunteer to the point where we have all the needed roles covered, I will see if we can get a grid plot for creative mode usage, so we can build and record in a controlled group environment. If that's not possible, it should still be doable in survival mode with buildings potentially made in single player creative mode.

Although this project is purely volunteer work, any help is appreciated.
 
I can help out with skin creation. Also I can help build some stuff if need be.

Here is what I have so far:
 
I could cover #4 as a last resort. I have an ancient Sony Vegas editor and a fair amount of experience editing videos. Just give me the video and audio files; I'll put 'em together neatly.

I say 'last resort' as in if anyone has greater editing experience and a more professional editor, by all means go ahead.
 
I'm a fairly decent writer, i think... I could do probably do number 6
 
I could do some acting, plus i could maybe make some skins for the races.
 
If you are going to make skins, provide screenshots of your creations, so we know who can make skins compared to those who can't.
 
Hmm, I could assist. As a staff member I must know a lot about the way the game works, so:
2. Someone who can clearly show off game mechanics in a controlled environment
I can do this quite easily. I can also assist in setting up a nice environment for the recordings to be shot.
 
I'd love to be there and give input in how to role-play as a race....But not actually acting or so, I should finish the other things first
 
We have a decent showing of volunteers already, but we're still greatly in need of a means to record high quality footage (requiring a good PC and a good connection), along with optimally someone very experienced with video editing, as Sea.Infinity considers himself a last resort. Since it's the holiday season, and there's multiple in-game projects keeping a lot of people busy at the moment, we will not rush the process to ensure we can gather enough experienced people to make this possible and keep the quality high. Anyone interested in helping is still welcomed and encouraged to post.
 
Im happy to volunteer Einherjar as a human example, Nordic theme.

Feel free to wander up there and check it out, near the NE ellador blimp.
