My "Save City of Heroes" video is now live

Over three weeks of work on an idea I got even before the Unity Rally took place (though plans for the rally certainly inspired it) have finally paid off.

The intent of this project was to tell the story of our fight to keep the game alive, in a tight informative little package, while at the same time keeping it entertaining. It features original CoH machinima, footage from the Unity Rally and various Unity Marches, screenshots of different articles from gaming media all over the internet, and audio clips from CapeRadio and a few podcasts. I also hope it serves to inspire any of us who are losing hope.

Do whatever you wish with it. Link it, embed it, give it to your friends. Just don't duplicate it, because the license I have for one of the songs covers ONE project only.

Great job on the Video!

With all due respect to every player who has ever made a movie for CoH, that has to be the most intricate and detailed community-made movie I have seen since I have been playing. Great work mixing so many other visual and audio sources with footage from the game, and I think you did a good job of conveying the community's message, to boot.

The time you say you spent on it really shows.

However this plays out, thank you for putting it together.

Holy. Crap. Absolutely superb. I think this really captures the spirit of the SaveCoH movement and should be spammed everywhere!

Great video. I especially liked the end credits with the game avatars interacting with the scrolling credits. Very cleverly done!

Phenomenal! Just outstanding! I've already posted it to my FB feed in the hopes of getting a bit more attention (and some shares).

Great job! Just fantastic!

Great googly moogly ... that was ... what's the word that comes after "Awesome" ...? Where's War Witch when I need her?


It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

Pretty freaking awesome. I liked it and shared it on my facebook page.

Great job...now send it to NCsoft...

Very nice.


Please try MA arc ID 351455, "Shard Stories: Scavenger's Hunt." Originally created for the Dr. Aeon contest, it explores the wild potential of one of the City's most concept-rich but content-poor settings: the Shadow Shard.

That was so great and actually uplifting. We need all the hope we can get.

Fantastic job on the video!!! I've reposted it on many of the sites I frequent to help in our battle to save CoH.
