Good. I'm hoping something will convince me to come back and play for a bit. It's been harder and harder to convince myself to log in lately. Played maybe a few hours in the last month.

So, when/where/what is this?

Actually, I was the only one that went through with it. They were all talk. And they may be switching over now that they have a Mac version.

When I made my video, it was to settle a little bet between my self and 2 friends who were avid WoW players. We each would make a vid to showcase the game we played in an attempt to sway the other to join. It may lack of a storyline (as some mentioned) but it was never supposed to have one. It is just a collection of some of the more photogenic scenes and some action sprinkled on and put to some really cool music.

Thanks for the advise. I will let you all know what happens.

Yes, the music is Nightwish - The Poet and the Pendulum from their latest album, Dark Passion Play.

As stated, the problem is now I can't post the video anywhere. I'm not going to make another video if it will just get taken down anywhere I try to post it...

So I've now had this video removed from Facebook. I attempted an upload to MySpace, but was denied due to 'copyrighted material'. Facebook is now claiming the same thing but is giving be a chance to counter it.

My question is, even though I used a copyrighted song (technically 2) and changed it is it still deemed copyrighted. Also, is there any chance in hell of getting permission to use the song?

If this is how it is going to be, I'm not sure I want to make a 2nd video since there appears to be nowhere I can post it....

I have been tossing around some ideas with a mix between music samples from both Batman movies and Lux Aeterna (the Requiem For A Dream theme). No lyrics, but still some epic music.

Wow, that is really cool that they wanted to join after watching! My goal is complete!!

I will say that I have been pulled away on other endeavors but I really want to start looking at my 2nd video. My main problem right now is deciding on a song and a theme.

I am getting some great ideas recently. Just time to put them to use...

My video is still up there....

I'll look at hosting it on google video in case they decide to take it down.

Sorry for the delay on a response.

The title of the song is The Poet and the Pendulum by Nightwish.

Already posted, but thought I'd add it to the list.

City of Heroes: The Fist and the Light

Nothing is official yet, but I believe the next video will feature something with the sound of Nails...

Spent all afternoon with my headphones on listening to tracks and trying to visualize scenes.

Ash, that was great. Gave me a good giggle on a Monday!

@Gata_ : No, sadly I was not on summer vacation. I had to work the normal 40 just like any other Joe. All work was mainly done on the weekends, but I would stay up until 2-3am editing.

@Neutra: That is exactly what I was going after. My main goal was to showcase the game in such a way that someone watching it would want to see and experience more themselves. Secondly, I did not, at any cost, want this to be your 'typical' music video. I wanted the footage to work with the music and the music to work with the footage. With a band like Nightwish and a game such as City of heroes, the work was nearly done for me.

While working at starting my next 'film', I am first trying to select the music. I am tempted to go with another Nightwish song but I think I will keep them on the back burner so as not to become repetitious. In the meanwhile, I am also taking a step forward and attempting to teach my self Adobe After Effects CS3. This may delay the next project a bit, but I can assure you I have learned much from this first project and I have set the bar much higher for my next attempt.

See you in Paragon...

First, thanks for the positive comments. I was a bit nervous about releasing this because I didnt let anyone see anything I was doing until after it was completed. After watching it at least 100 times, I was sure I had seen it too many times to really tell how it looked.

I am thinking about re-rendering the credits. I noticed several errors that I cant believe I missed.

I had an absolute blast making this one and I have alreday gotten a few ideas for my next video.

I'd like to present my first piece of video work.

This was filmed over the last 3 weeks over on Pinnacle. I have some ideas for another video but wanted to see how this one would turn out. Enjoy and please stop by and leave any comments for me on vimeo!

Gratz to Hawkeyed on FINALLY getting Fire Whiskey to 50!!!

Here are the pics from this event. Enjoy!

So how many new WP/stone tanks will we see now?

If everything goes as it did for me last night, those GM's won't really move at all once they start attacking. I had 5 on me at once and we all just stood there. We had tea. It was great.

I'm getting pumped up for all of this.

I will nto mention how much i just spent to improve my toon......I feel ashamed....

I'll bring my fire/fire into the mix. I've actually done this on my own time and I stand up just fine...

Bring it!

Made a few adjustments to the build. My WS is only lvl 12 right now, but I'll be following this build on the way to 50. I tweaked some of the sets used and added a 3rd *** to stamina and the Twilight shield. Among a higher regen rate, you also gain Mag-8 KB protect - something that I try to put on any toon that will be part of the focus in a heavy battle. I also continued in my strategy on my other build of not putting any more than 3-4 IO's from the same set on any one power. By mixing 2-3 of one set and the rest from another, you can really get some insane stacking bonuses when it comes to +Acc, Regen and recovery.

Hope this helps out you Khelds out there - be safe!!
