Any interest in these marquee videos?

[bertone]

I am searching for the Animated Teknoparrot System Video in this Clip. I hope some can send to me. It looks so cool.

I’m not sure where to find it, but I can see if I can come up with something similar. Will make it easier on myself and look for a similar background visualizer effect on Envato Elements.

Where to find animated marquees for Metal Slug Series or Tekknoparrot ?

Well, I went ahead and tried to duplicate the Teknoparrot marquee from Arcade Adam's video:
 

Also, I looked back and saw your request for the Metal Slug series. So, I started with the first game:
 

I used a chromatic aberration effect on the footage, kinda going for a "CRT Feel," but is it too much? Feel like I might need to tone it down a bit.

I'll try to get the other games done throughout the week as long as I have time. If people want to leave suggestions for platforms (especially platforms) or games that need doing, I'm willing to slowly try and get them done. Might be a way for me to actually start doing more of these.

@retrojoshvc     Happy new Year and a big ThanXXX    I love such animated marquees . They look so cool on a Cab.

[retrojoshvc]

Went ahead and made Video Marquees for Metal Slug 2 and 3 as well. Will have more for 4,5,6,7, and X coming. Am busy doing renovations around the house, but will pop these out as I have time.

[Truest1]

great work as always. simply amazing.

Anyway we can get you to make some of these for the Mortal Kombat games?? As these are my favorite games of all time. thank you in advance.

[retrojoshvc]

Sorry, just saw your post! Made one of the first MK game real quick (well, like an hour, lol)
 

What do you think? I have the project files and can always edit them. I work this weekend, but I'll try to get some stuff done Monday-Wednesday. Hopefully for the MK series and finish with Metal Slug.

Accidentally uploaded a 1920x1080 file, doh! Also, uploaded the wrong file to YouTube, but hopefully people come to this forum to download and not rip from YT.

Bro thats perfect i like it. Take your time no worries. Keep up the great work. Cant wait to see the rest.

[retrojoshvc]

Made a marquee for Mortal Kombat II. This one is a little bit more of a "what if the original Marquee came to life." It's more simple, though it took a lot more work.

Finally got around to MK3, lol. Again, just tried to make the original marquee "come to life."

Nous voulons plus, nous voulons plus (vidéos de chapiteau système)

J'ai une petite demande, voici ma liste de systèmes/playlists, j'espère que vous pourrez tous les créer :

 

"Hey guys, I'm taking the liberty of leaving a little note. Great work @retrojoshvc you really know you're a Highlander, you know: we don't have much practice left ^^! It's nice to see motivated people taking over. Because in reality, only 4/5 of us on the scene create video themes—we can almost count ourselves on the fingers of one hand.

For my part, I've been doing it for 15 years, and I can tell you that, whatever anyone says, a little feedback or encouragement under a creation is hugely motivating.

The thing is, these days, we see very few likes or comments. It's not that we're looking for medals, but when you spend 4 or 5 hours on a theme, and you see 1,100 downloads... for only 2 likes, frankly, it stings a little.
Think about it: a little note, a like, a bit of feedback—it costs nothing, but for us, it changes everything.

The power of atmosphere in intro videos is too often underestimated.
Some captivate from the first second, conveying the heritage, identity, and emotion of a game.
Some will say, "30 seconds is enough," others, "3 minutes is too long."
But really? There are no rules. What matters is the emotion.

A good set of videos can literally transform an entire system.
These aren't just additions—they're the guardians of our gaming culture. They create an atmosphere, they prepare for adventure, they pay homage.
A well-thought-out intro video is an emotional gateway, a reminder of what makes each game unique.

Some players settle for simple gameplay videos.

Aside from the practical aspect (and the space-saving aspect, okay 😅), they often feel cold and impersonal.
A default interface, without gimmicks, without nostalgia, without memories…
it simply doesn't do justice to the richness of our video game heritage.

Atmospheric intros, carefully crafted videos, they bring a real emotional dimension.
They awaken memories, they create a connection, they remind us why we fell in love with these games.

Ultimately, an intro video doesn't just show off a game.
It tells a story. It invites you on a journey.
That's what makes all the difference. That's what makes the experience magical.

And if you're ever looking for a specific theme, don't hesitate to ask me—even in English.

Proof of concept :

Thank you so much! It takes a lot of time and work to make these videos, but I’ll do my best to get more active on them! Keep an eye on this space!

If you look under each post where I post a new video, I’ve uploaded each video in a zip file so you can get max resolution and not worry about YouTube compression!

Wow, all of this means so much coming from you! I’ve been a big fan for a long time! Was even on the Patreon for a while! Love your work! It is a big inspiration for me!

 

I have a YouTube channel where I make documentaries about crazy cult films, so that is where a lot of my time in AfterEffects goes right now. I do find it hard to jump back into making marquees and such because it doesn’t seem like many people really need them. The market is so small. But it’s truly the small comments and “thanks” that keep bringing me back. My personal arcade is sort of collecting my wife’s junk sitting on top of it at the moment (no time to play recently), so when I make a video it’s for those who may download it. However… When you spend 3-4 hours working on something and then don’t hear any feedback, it’s easy to forget the project. But when I get one of these emails from Launchbox every so often and I see one or two people have commented, it brings me back and makes me want to help out the community

Waouh, tout ça me touche énormément venant de toi ! Je suis une grande fan depuis longtemps ! J'étais même sur Patreon pendant un moment ! J'adore ton travail ! C'est une grande source d'inspiration pour moi !

 

J'ai une chaîne YouTube où je réalise des documentaires sur des films cultes complètement dingues, et c'est donc là que je consacre une grande partie de mon temps sur AfterEffects en ce moment. J'ai du mal à me remettre à la création de chapiteaux et autres, car je n'ai pas l'impression que beaucoup de gens en aient vraiment besoin. Le marché est si petit. Mais ce sont vraiment les petits commentaires et les remerciements qui me font revenir. Ma salle d'arcade personnelle est en train de récupérer les fichiers de ma femme qui traînent dessus en ce moment (pas le temps d'y jouer ces derniers temps), donc quand je fais une vidéo, c'est pour ceux qui pourraient la télécharger. Cependant… Quand on passe 3 ou 4 heures à travailler sur quelque chose et qu'on n'a aucun retour, on oublie facilement le projet. Mais quand je reçois de temps en temps un de ces e-mails de Launchbox et que je vois qu'une ou deux personnes ont laissé un commentaire, ça me motive et me donne envie d'aider la communauté.

Thanks for your answers @rétrojoshvc Overall, I think that highlighting creators raises the overall level. It motivates talent to excel, it inspires new vocations, and above all, it respects creative effort.

And believe me, when we do that, quality skyrockets, projects explode with creativity, and everyone wins – including users. I'm giving you the links again in case you missed them!  

@rétrojoshvc You can also add yours to complete if you want. Unity is strength Because it's your post too lol! ^^

Love the videos! You say add mine to complete, how do I go about adding mine? I just now finally noticed that entire section of the site and the "submit" a file button, lol. Trying to find a section of the site for Marquee videos, but don't see one so far. Going to finish the MK and Metal Slug series (mostly) and then I'll go back to making Platform videos since that seems to be what people need most.
