WAhoo! It's sorta officially done. I say "sorta" because I'm still messing with the credits, but the shots are in how they're gonna be in so the main stuff ain't changing...so I"m posting it. However, there may be a different version later on when I'm happy with the creds.

Second, big apologies to the couple folks who sent something in that didn't get used. The reason why? I couldn't get the demo to work. I don't know why--it was boggling me.

Third, HUGE apology to Starsfire and Pandaa...I didn't get the servers you guys were from. If you can post it or PM me I can change the credits so that they are all done good and proper.

This was probably the easiest video I've ever made. Just grab a shot and plug in. Of course, I watched most of the demos one right after another so I knew "Oh, Windy 15 is the one where she's at the Storm Palace" or "Starsfire 2 has the Supa Troll in it", and while I watched I listened to the song, looking for points that would match up decently. Hence, when I got down to making it, only a couple places stumped me (like the third verse about the gas an' stuff...well, you'll see, I did what I could), and I was limited by what I had... so it wasn't like, "this shot needs to be different. I'll refilm and..." It was just "Ok, plug it in. Does it work? Good enough, next..."

There are some shots in here that I *really* like, and a couple little jokes in here too, but I'd say it's a pretty typical "action shot" video.

Without further ado, All Star. (It's about 33 meg, btw, so may be a longish download)

Great work as always!

It was neat to see how all the videos fit into the song. For basically a random call for clips it was amazing how many were appropriate for the portion of the song they were in.

Can't wait to see your next video experiement.

Holy Cow! And I don't mean Warface! Well, actually I guess I do, that guy looked like something out of the old Insane Cow Posse, great costume! Huge thanks to the Abyss family for this video, I'll be keeping it for a very long time!

Ready for the next one? I think my submissions are already in. <grin>

P.S. One of those blades near Founder's Falls MIGHT be the blade of Cmdr Dhit. If so, this is the first dev ever caught on film! And if not, it's close enough I'm going to count it anyway.

Well done, Miss!

I won't be a part of your system!

What I liked most about this video is that it spanned all of CoH, from the beta Rikti invasion to just about everything. I did have a Halloween trick-or-treating part too that I couldn't fit in (couldnt' find a good spot for it) and I did have some Winter Lord footage but couldn't get it to play right... but otherwise we got herding, we got the Storm Palace, we got Kheldians, we got beta, we got just about everything in there...

Thanks again y'all. If I do this experiment again it'll be villain side.

Your site has not had a new movie in a while! I was giving up hope
I've been a Mr and Miss Abyss fan for so long and havent heard an update on the movie site for a while.
I am a big fan of Hellions and Monolith, and hope for more movies of that type.
Just got done watching this film, great as always =)

Miss Abyss, nice job! And thanks to Zloth for hogging most of the film. (Good thing I'm in his SG and got a couple of cameos.)

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!
