Ok, that got a chuckle or two out of me. Definitely fun!

EDIT: Forwarded the link to BABs, so he can see what he was up to during that black out the other day...

Excellent video, well done. Both this video and Dark Respite's "Do You Want to Date My Avatar" did a great job of tying in the song with the game... I enjoyed watching both back to back.

Okay, that was hilarious, I'm not even on Champion, just clicked the topic out of curiousity, so glad I did

As for T'He O'Cho, somewhere down on the bottom of this page I know there's a handful of songs from The Rikti Singers to help you out in your office efforts.

About two days to figure out the idea, and another four to do the gruntwork( Record solo video, Demo-edit it, find actors, record actor bits, Demo-edit it, fill in missing parts, re-record bad section, demo-edit it, get a group going for the 2 3-4 actor parts(Thank Nibzy!) Demo-edit. Splice, Transitions, Titles) Then about 6 hours of Rendering and waiting for Youtube to finish processing it.

Some little tidbits about this one:

-The movie was comprised of 104 separate videos put together.

-Raw footage for the movie took up 14 gig.

-AngieB played Castle and Miz Nibbles played Synapse. All other players in the Spanky's Boardwalk scenes were demo-placed using the position of those two and Ash/BABs.

-In the Statesman scene, if you look closely you can see he was defeated by Clockwork Gears.

-Doctor Brainstorm and Blue Steel are the only men in other scenes which did not end up dancing with BABs. Doctor Brainstorm was not there because Citadel begged the others not to invite him. Blue Steel wasn't there because BABs, Castle and Synapse are mad jealous of his epic dance skills.

Mistakes/Demo Edit Oddities

-The demo code for /em Hmm is MOV PLOTTING and the demo code for /em plot is MOV SCHEME (this messed me up for a while)

-Ashcrafts big'ol'head got in the way in the scene flying down the boardwalk to BABs so I ended up replacing his model with that of a Croatoa sprite, which gave the snow effects seen there.

-I goofed several times and left the cursor on screen( new version of FRAPs didn't set cursor removal) The worst is in the Citadel section where I knock the cursor away from Citadel while he cowers. By the time I noticed it would have taken at least four hours to fix it. After four days of working on it, I said Meh.

-Accidentally recorded Castle in front of the wrong box in the into conversation. Whoops!

-In the Infernal scene, Baby New Year is actually standing on a cup on the bar if you look closely. I have no idea why this happened as I recorded the model placement on the barstool.

-In the Blue Steel scene, that was shield charge being used but the demofile wouldn't reproduce it as it was in game. The monsters he was killing? Babbage, Paladin and the Clockwork King. Babbage managed to survive, the scoundrel.

-In the last Sis Psyche/ Manti scene Manticore was supposed to be invisible behind her but the democode wouldn't let him be actually invisible so I had to use the youtube tags to sorta make sense of the scene.

Wow lots of works and great job, just the amount of time it took to put it together is staggering for a video. You mention errors but the video is way to cool to be obvious or noticed. AWESOME VIDEO!!
