Dark_Respite's Holiday Video Gift to the Community... AND the Devs
Amazing and fantastic.
Do you mean which song did I want to use for the Rikti War video? I had originally hoped to use "The Howling" by Within Temptation (it is just too perfect), but they declined permission, even to license it for a fee. However, they said no. I plan to try again, but I doubt they'll say yes.

Awww, dang. Yeah, that is spot on. I can see the saucer showing up, initial assault with civilians in the streets, bombing runs, Alpha-Omega in the instrumental, looking over the wreckage of the city (Boomtown), the "Surviving Eight", Statesman holding Hero-1's cape, starting rebuilding, and maybe a close-up "Honoree" stepping out of another portal in the last seconds - just from listening to it.
They wouldn't even consider it for a price?
i think you should donate these vids to paragon studios and let them i dunno... like do whatever they do to make them look like a movie*ish and then they should put them all over the web...
Brag about how awesome the fans for this game are etc...
Viral!

And I have that whole song storyboarded for the video.

As far as bragging how awesome the fans for this game are, they've acknowledged that - not me specifically, but Brian Clayton and EMpulse at HeroCon have freely admitted that the CoX community is awesome.

Niv was here. Let's not get her to come back for this reason again. ![]() |
I burst out laughing when I read this - my co-workers wanted to know why - I could only say "inside joke" as none of them play CoH (their loss!).
D_R this is simply spectacular - the mind boggles at the amount of time and effort that must have gone into this.
I picked out a strange moment as my favorite shot - probably unique in this, but I really dug the "red carpet" walk at 2:53 with the limo in the background. You have a wonderful imagination, and WAAAAY too much time on your hands!
Please keep up the incredible "work" - it's very much appreciated.

Like everyone else, I enjoyed all of the little touches you put into this (and all of your videos). From something of a technical standpoint, I'm a bit wowed at the Choose an Archetype frame. You did some fantastic work on that piece that was on screen for just a few seconds. I can't say thanks for sharing quite enough.

That song was spot-on the best one for that vid!
As always, Miss D_R's vids are the most ... to say the least!
RAWR!

I didn't realize that the ladies in CoX were so jealous.
Thank you, thank you.
The jealousy thing? Seemed like the thing to do. Hot young psychic superheroine in thigh boots and a schoolgirl outfit... yeah, she'd turn a few heads, even in a city where hot superpowered ladies are the norm. (Although in 'actuality,' Blake knows better than to go after guys who are taken - she'll smile and flirt, but not seriously pursue.)

And again, cheers to all of you who have been linking my vid on your SG forums, blogs, Facebooks pages, and all that - the video has been getting some serious attention!
(Now I just have to hope that someone who'd want to hire an MMORPG videographer notices the thing...)

Michelle, you continue to astound me with both the quality of your videos, and their content. Please, don't ever consider yourself 'untalented'.
Do you mean which song did I want to use for the Rikti War video? I had originally hoped to use "The Howling" by Within Temptation (it is just too perfect), but they declined permission, even to license it for a fee. However, they said no. I plan to try again, but I doubt they'll say yes.
In the meantime, I'm searching around for other ideas for "The Dying of the Light" (either instrumental or with lyrics), and a few ideas are percolating still. And there are other bands out there who ARE willing to let me license their music - it's just a matter of what I can afford. (After all, I don't make anything for doing these - the things I do for love.) Michelle aka Samuraiko/Dark_Respite |

Michelle, I'm sooooo glad that you came out of retirement, because we wouldn't have this great vid!!! Thanx
Absolutely friggin brilliant! The song could not be further from my musical tastes but the vid makes me like it. I must say I think I am becoming a bit of a junky for your vids, especially the City of Heroes/Villains vids. Whenever I see a post about a new one I can't hit the link fast enough and crave more. You are officially on my "When I win the lottery" list for a fat check and list of personal characters I want videos made for.
