Excellent vid, Michelle! You've really outdone yourself this time.

The way the character emotes, music, and background play together is so very powerful.

Thanks. I make it a goal of mine each video to have learned something new since the last video I made. This way I can keep raising the bar.

Please keep raising it.

Makes it easier to drink people under it. >.>

While I am in no way, shape, or form interested in i14 and the MA.

I do have to give Dark some major props. That video was extremely well done. Nice job!!!

Hey NCSoft - THIS is how you market your product. Take notes.

You are truly the Spielberg of MMO fan vids. Can't wait for the next one(s).

Hey now! Don't bring her work down! He never got me as giddy as a schoolboy as I get watching the fine works of DR. In fact going to tell her on her CoHFaces right now! Wicked Slick!

MY FAREWELL GIFT

It is never truly gone, as long as there is someone left to remember.

Thanks, Anight... Gotta say, that beats the response I got with the I-13 teaser and trailer where folks who either had no interest in the issue or outright hated it started bashing on ME for making the videos for it.

Thanks for the comment on CoHFaces, Harry.

I'm hoping mine prove to be popular enough to make Devs' Choice so I can get the slots back.

As for how I made the blueprint environment... it involves the inspired use of four judiciously demorecorded/demoedited maps, Leandro's Splasher program, getting the "Issue 14: Architect" logo off the CoH site, the right RGB colour code, two very specific Sony Vegas Movie Studio filters, and a metric a**load of patience, trial, and error to get it right.

All for a five-second shot. Am I insane or what?

Not at all. The 5 second shot payoff is the sort of thing that carries a sequence. And fantastically done. I absolutely loved it.

I hope you're not only applying to CoH. Even if they are so foolish as to let someone else get you, that sort of "I've got an idea and I'll do what I can to make it superb" drive combined with real skills and a great sense of pacing, you should be working in video production.

Actually... yes, I am only applying to NCNC. As much as I love making videos, what really does it for me is the game. (Although I have done video work elsewhere in limited form.)

The YouTube version is still uploading, although if you visit my YouTube channel, you should eventually be able to see it once it goes live.

For those who insist on the high quality version, as always, you can find it on the Videos page of the Samuraiko Productions website.

Oh very very nice. I especially liked the change from a blueprint style to the fleshed out CoH graphics.

The whole thing was visually pleasing and tells the big part of i14, the meat and potatoes of it. Potatoes...potatoes...I hate that word. The meat and tater tots of it.

I suppose it would just be rubbing salt in the wound to point out that I've also already got eighteen separate story arcs in mind for the MA?

This is SO gonna be "my" issue.

{Zloth crawls out from his X3: Terran Conflict sabbatical}

Superb job, yet again!

I've got a few ideas for arcs but I'm trying to keep them at arms length. I don't know what the system will really be like when the dust settles so I'm trying not to get attached to any idea.

Oh, and thanks to EnergyOne for getting it on WeGame. I wouldn't have seen it, otherwise!

Dear sweet mother of the Earth... Why do you have to be so dam good? Ruining my dreams of every beating you in video-making... (j/k)... Way to well created, loved the blue-print to foundation to mission specs idea. I'm afraid to see what you would do if you ever decided to run 2 MMO's and make Aion the next one. But anyhoot, HI! Long time no see, great vid, happy new year, marry christmas, happy birthday, have a good valantines day, ya...

Oh and if ya been wondering why I have not been posting and spreading my happy-go-lucky enthusiasm and witty comments out recently is because I was fighting the the devil called a New Virus.... Ok, i lied, that was the 2nd thing I was fighting. First: CoH decided to fry on me... Second: The new virus got into my computer, deleted my internet explorer thus deleting ALL internet connections, and then I was forced into MMO exile on... <Shudders> ... World of Warcraft... It's odd, internet goes down, but MMO's still work, figure that out and I'll throw you a cookie.

Forgot to say I'm back because I got a new computer with a 26-inch screen monitor .

There are approximatly 200 possibile answers for that. Most of them can fixed with a simple downloadable fix called "Winsock Fix" Look it up, Download it, Run it. Clears up a lot of problems.

(QR) - And I'll not be surprised if someone's already said it....

The only problem with this video, is that it's what we all want, but from the reports, quite possibly not what we're getting.

Should the Mission Architect be one iota less than what this video promises, I will personally lead the coup to put Dark_Respite in Positron's chair... whether she likes it or not! :P

---

@Roderick

I do not want Positron's chair. Nor do I want his job. A job, a paycheck, and a chair NEAR his, I would be quite happy with.

Well, for your sake, I hope that the Mission Architect is exactly as it appeared in your video.

@Roderick

Very nice work.

DR, I think at the very least, NCNC should buy your vids from you and pay you in return with free-months!

Oh... and wonderful work on all your vids!

I believe that a Kheldian Gold Standard should be based on SO's, and for anything above that... there's Platinum!
