LOL, now THAT's funny.

Well done.

Todd

Very nice. Wonderful camera work.

Todd

p.s. and no, other things were going on and I never had a chance to submit anything to the earlier contest. This one was my first CoX video.

Hmmmm, interesting. I hadn't noticed that yet.

Well, it's a little bummer, but no biggie.

Vorac, bro...nice job, just make one quick tweek and pull the Vorac Studios mention from the end credits. They (official dudes) mentioned that was a no-no early all. Somehow it falls under the heading of "commercial endorsement".

Nicely done though

Are we allowed to upload it to other sites when we finish? (like youtube)

Hehe i was able to squeak past and do it all today! hope its uploaded on the main site in time!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, you can put it anywhere you want, but it only COUNTS toward the contest if it's logged by their servers.

Star.....hehehe.....you're funny.

To answer the earlier question, yes, my entry does not have the opening and closing titles on it - it starts with the NCSoft and Cryptic logos, and ends just as it fades to black and she's walking across the street.

Good I thought I was gonna have to hurt you

Nice job.

Todd

Great job DR. Very nice! I admire the fact that you pay so much attention to the music and the video telling the story together.

I watched the high-quality version on your site. Please tell me you did leave your production logo off the entry version correct? That would be the only thing I saw that would even raise a legal eyebrow. Everything else looks perfectly safe.

Rosen - the word on violence, here's the legal line from the rules: "With the exception of those elements which are contained within the Selected Games ". So anything within the realm of the City of Heroes game.

Todd

Thanks Dae

Take a deep breath Dark, there's still plenty of time. Just stay focused and you'll get it done

Todd

Must have been a temp bug, it's working now.

Thanks all

Wow... just WOW... 8 Baller is so manly. I give it 8 thumbs up!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Hehehe thanks! But 8 thumbs? Are you sure you're not tax_e_octopus?

Thanks,
Todd

....uh....anyone else having trouble logging into DA. It no longer recognized my username and says there's no account listed with my email address.

...which is....a bother.

Okay so I just bought my tickets on ebay, when does this come out again?

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmmmm....let's see it took about a month and a half to generate 3:30 of video....sooooo for a 126 minute video it looks like....summer or fall of 2010.

Thanks all. Now that I got that out of my system back to drawing stuff

doesn't flow well as other machinima,

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't have an experience with other machinima so I guess I haven't been spoiled yet, but yeah there were a number of actions I wish I could have had...mainly I reeeeaaally wanted 8 to put his shades on before he says the "turn on the lights" line. I got his head modeled and textured, but ran out of time to to the torso/rig and animate him.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm sure TPTB will move this to the video/multi-media section

[/ QUOTE ]

ahhhh, if they wanna do that then I'd say just kill the thread. I just wanted to let my art homies know what I'd been up to

Todd

[ QUOTE ]
awesome! i'm also amused that it was rated 8 when i opened it.

[/ QUOTE ]

LOL awesome...thanks.

Don't forget to have a time code in front of those lines like so...

0 275 NEW "Arachnos Flier"
0 275 NPC V_Arachnos_Flyer_Critter
0 275 POS (whatever the numbers were for your reference)
0 275 PYR (whatever the numbers were for your reference)
0 275 MOV PREFLYREADY 0

...the time code is the amount of time in milliseconds FROM THE LAST LINE of code. Meaning in the above example all the lines occur at the same time.

If the last line had a "1000" at the beginning the movement would technically happen one second (1000 ticks = 1 second) after the PYR command.

1000 275 MOV PREFLYREADY 0

But don't feel bad about having trouble getting a grasp on things....while watching the videos is a blast...demoediting is about as much fun as a root canal.

Start here as a good source: CoH Codex...and have LOTS of patience. Trial and error are your friends.

Todd

Yeah, I know it's a shameless promo, but wanted to show you guys what I've been working on the past month or so.

It's my entry to the Matrix machinima contest and it's a further continuation of 8 Baller's story.

I hope I'm not breaking some cardinal sin to post video stuff here but take a look if you've got a few minutes to kill.

Infinite Dark

Comments are more than welcome, it's my first CoX vid.

Thanks,
Todd

I used yours as a base Star, and tweeked it to include 'digital' recording and a section specifically for the contest.

So, thanks.
Todd

Thanks guys! It was definately a learning and "making up as I went along" process.

Actually, I originally wanted to use the Halloween zombies but they didn't really look "big and bad" enough. So the BP worked out pretty well and I worked it into the story.

Todd

My entry "Infinite Dark" is up on Gametrailers. Still needed all the legal approval to kick in but you guys can have a look and provide feedback in the meantime.

Infinite Dark

Enjoy...I hope.

I think it may be a while before I tackle my next CoX video....this is like....a lot of work.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm done messing with the voice track of Donuts, it still kind of sucks but I don't want to delay it any more.

So I began work in Making "Donuts", the documentary of how it all happened! Hear Fusionette screw up her lines over and over again, mainly, but also interviews with all the actors that made it possible, such as Lee T. Gamir, who was the body double for Statesman!

[/ QUOTE ]

Please, oh please entitle it "It's time to make the donuts." (showing my age there a little but man that would be funny...at least to us old people)

Cool idea Leo.

......1.5 hours of sleep last night (I woke up on the floor) and it's 12 something now....but...I think I'm done. Just rendering now.

I think it may be a while before I tackle my next CoX video....this is like....a lot of work.

Todd

Thanks a ton Mr. Mag....I would have gone....evil...if I would have done all this and seen "error" on the screen. It's good to know how it all works.

Todd

I love some of the humor in these from "Grime", to the "babies" and many others. I'm starting to wonder though if I'm the only one not going for humor with my entry.

Oh crap....the horror of NOT going for humor and it actually being laughed at just hit me!

oh crap...

Is it too late to rewrite?

Todd

Very well done Leo! Even without voices. Very, very nice.

And I loved the raining donuts

Todd

p.s. I want to see a "directors cut" somewhere with audio outtakes of ol' Fusionette.
