Shinigami's Angel: A TankerBot Production

TankerBot_NA · 07-07-2006 04:59 AM

Hello Art Forums. For the last two months I have been secretly working on an origin video for one of my brute's(Shinigami's Angel) and was able to finish just last night. After getting it uploaded, I thought this would be a good place to post it. Hope you all enjoy it.

I liked it, nice story line, well done! Did I miss the music credit? I was wanting to know artist and song but I never saw it, or I missed it somewhere.

Yeah, I did not put the song in the credits, maybe i should have . Anyway, here is the bands web site if your interested.

I never did like modern rock.

Not that that's your fault.

Thanks, have tossed them on my Amazon list for better listen later on.

Just watched it.. Looks good. Nice storyline. I'm not an expert, but the editing looked good.

One thing, though.. Did you intend to have the gui visible most of the time? It kind of distracted from the scenes, especially in the fight scenes where the targetting, nav, and chat windows were open.

To capture the video without the gui, add the parm '-disable2d' (without the quotes) to your run command for the demo.

But still, looks really good, especially for a first try.

Do you have more in the works? I have about a dozen songs and a score of little vignettes that I'd like to one day produce into videos. I keep spending all my extra time on the forum or in the game, though.

The biggest problem with the recording, was that I could not use the demorecord files. It could have just been a user error , but I could not get the demo's into the right format for windows movie maker. So I used fraps, which records exactly what I see. I could not figure out how to take the health bar out of the picture. If that disable2d command works for fraps then awsome , but if not then im still stuck with it for now.

Also in the credits I had all my windows up on purpose. Just so you could see me fighting like I do normally. So that was planned.

Thanks for the imput though , its greatly appreciated.

Uhm...I think what you wanna do is record the demo file, then play the demo and record THAT with FRAPS...

:O, Why did I never think of that!!!!

Thanks PMD, Woot!!! New MOVIE TIME!!! .

About the title, yeah I kinda misspelled it. spent so much time checking the slides and everything that I over looked the title every single time . I might redo it and upload a new one just to fix the thing.

Just wish that YouTube's video quality was higher, the wm file I have on dah laptop is 100% clearer(if that is a word ). Unfortunately I did not have any web space to put it on so I used what I could.

While you are taking care of the UI problem, also take a moment and regenerate the Credit for the 'Hero' to not be in all BLACK TEXT. It made the credit difficult to read, given the way YouTube degenrates the quality of the video file upon playback over the Internet.

Awsome, You guys give great advise . Thanks a ton. I'm still deciding who's origin my next movie will be about, Im leaning toward my lvl 50 fire/rad controller. Since he is Shinigami's younger brother.

Also I might just take a bit of time to redo the shinivideo to fix the credits, and title.

Thanks again for all the imput.
