Alot, for a professional 3D modeler who would have to create an entire city along with all the models and media used in this, Alot.

What are you specifically aiming for? any concept art or story boarding?

Well what im looking for is basicly the exact video but different military equipment/soldiers and the German voice replaced by a Russian one, different setting other than Paris as well.

if you have enough experience, you could make this in blender, which is free.
I think you have two choices, make it entirely by yourself for free but have it take longer (a lot longer), or buy the models from somewhere/someone else and use those or even have someone else do the whole thing, faster but costly.

trust me, you need experience even to do that

EDIT:I would wait until you finish the game before you do this, you may ditch the project after spending the money otherwise

If anyone on the forums has experience of doing this (even just for 3d logo anims etc) I'd be interested to hear any advice from you e.g. applications / tutorials which have helped you.

I want to learn how to do this but as with most things am not sure where a good place to start is for beginners.

Thanks

Looks like a Machinima, from first glance it would take a bit of modding in order to create Machinima in FPSC.

There are some programs out there that can create these easily, and they already come with a lot of pre-made media. To fill the gaps all you would have to do is download some free stuff off Turbo Squid or something. Could try iClone, pretty sure there is a free version since I was given one for a competition.

Though if you want a pre-rendered movie, I could maybe price one out. Though I'd need you to be very specific one what you want. Your last description was very vague. How many scenes, what happens in each scene, and what you want to see in each scene would be a good start.

Good luck either way.

The cutscene from the video seems pretty straightforward. A few simple animations to move the planes and tanks forward, and few walking variations for the soldiers, and a simple sway for the flags. Position everything in FPS Creator, loop the animations, and use a screen recorder to capture various scenes in test game, then patch them all together in Movie Maker, and sychronize sound effects with the video. That would be my approach, at least.

If I could get Blender animations into FPS Creator (haven't gotten the time to look into it yet), I'd put my estimate around $30.00 or so. But that would only be for the animations, and video editing. It would be a different story if you were expecting all of the level assets modeled as well.

I would take Ocho Geek's advice in this case. 99% of game projects that are started here are never finished. It would be a shame to spend $500 on a bunch of cutscenes, and then lose interest in the project half way through. Finish your game's story, level design, and everything else until you invest in cutscenes. Just my two cents. Good luck.

Alright, sounds good, but this is really the only cutscene I need for my game, the story really plays along as "in-game cutscenes" (like Half-life 2) if you want more detail i can give you what i would like ot see in the video.

I can do this easyily, there is no real acting,this is a job for iclone 4, I could pull this off for $150, It would take this much to buy all the media for it.Ive made better films then this here with iclone.

edit:

see here, the media is a little pricey, but real high quailty.

i can make a set in FPSC, make it a multiplayer, record of peoples screens, (you can give me voices if you want to put them in), edit it in vages 9, then finnaly add finishing touches like better sound, noises to make it more realastic. All of that may take a week or two... and if i do it in X10 then it will look sweet and will produced to a way better standed.

Alright then, I am currently learning how to do in-game cutscenes. But there is a problem, some of the equipment id like to have hasent been made for FPSc yet (e.g. a T-90 or a Su-47 plus some more)

you could use blender like @thenerd said or you could see if something like http://www.moviestorm.co.uk/ would work for you... there are also programs like daz studio. i've done it before in a program called truespace and it takes ALOT of work. to pay someone to create a costom scene would cost thousands of dollars.... unless you have a studio budget to work with i would sugguest you learn to do it yourself.
