Hey Folks,

For those of you who have been keeping up and for those of you who haven't I was just informed this afternoon that my flick, "This American Hero (Part 1)" -- which was shot in City of Heroes -- won first place in the HBO/Cinemax Your Virtual Life contest.

Anyway I'm beaming and I just wanted to share the news with all of you.

Here's the youtube link:

Wow, great job! Is Javier actually in the game? If not, how did you add him to CoH?

It's really good video. Hopefully it can attract more people to this game! Welcome to the Hero/Villain lives!

What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

Congratulations on an awesome short!!! It was a well-deserved win.

Hey Folks!

Thank you all for your kind words! Machinima.com wants to run the series exclusively on their site. Now, I haven't made up my mind yet as to what I'm going to do... but I do think that the more you folks support the vid on youtube and leave a comment the more attention COH machinima and the game itself will get in general. You can give it 0 stars and write, "this sux donkey bawls." whatever's in your hearts.

As for how I got Javier to talk and move... I used a free program called Moviestorm -- addons do cost money though. But I didn't use any addons for this so...

There are a bunch of machinima programs out there actually just like Moviestorm like Iclone and Antics. Moviestorm is my fav at the moment though.

Anyway... here's the link one more time if you feel like rating or leaving a comment.

As some completely unsolicited advice about what to do re: YouTube vs Machinima.com: keep things going up on YouTube because that is where the larger audience is, but see what you can work out with Machinima.com because you are more likely to get spotlighted to the important people. It probably means more work for you (you might have to give something more to Machinima.com in order to help build that relationship) but it would be best if you can use both channels.

Great job! Conga-rats!

"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."

Congratulations FlyByKnight!

Congratulations FlyBy - way to go!

---

Congratulations... Looking forward to the next installment.

---

Congratulations! What a well deserved win!

I just have to remember to stop trying to read the comments for any movies on Youtube. Gah, it's like the WoW forums threw up.

---

lol. i know. it got weird because of the word "american." kinda terrifying.

---

Grats on the win -- that was a nice little video.

*quietly laughing*

And to truly cap his victory, FBK also makes the OFFICIAL News page on the COH website. Now THERE is an accomplishment.

*adopts announcer voice*

Can he now achieve the Triple Crown of Congratulations - getting a mention on that CoX startup screen? Stay tuned as we maintain our vaguely-organized coverage...
