Fade out - the farewell letter I wish I didn't have to write

To paraphrase ABBA, "Thank you for the videos!"... They are really entertaining and very inspiring.
I really regret that I never put the videos that keep playing back in my head to film..(or whatever
).. But suffice to say that it was the great work you produced that made me inspired to visualize more.
I hope to see more of your work!

One of the few regrets I have is occasionally being told, "Y'know, I really would love to try making videos in CoH, but yours are so good that no one will want to watch mine, so I'm not gonna."
Oh, how I HATED hearing that.
I kept telling them, "Make them anyway! You don't know what the players are or aren't going to like, and make them for YOU! Screw everyone else!" Sometimes they did, sometimes they didn't.
But I'm glad that in recent times, more and more people have been stepping up with videos they've made, and that folks have been coming up with nifty tools to make the vid-making experience easier/better/more impressive. It makes me wish even harder that CoH could have been allowed to continue.

I've already allured this to you in a comment I gave on your last video on Youtube, (DrJodisWelch) that in my case I had the some storyboards done for character trailers of my toons and was imagining trailers for the rest but never got round to starting due to time getting sucked away from me by other things in life.|

Really bums me out that. :-( Most I have been able to do lately is record simple game footage with Bandicam and doing unscripted commentary about the characters and archetypes.
May still get a chance to do trailers down the line ether with another game or in some other fashion if I somehow can work with people that can animate in some way.
I'll still be subbed to you even after the game closes.
All the best.

Michelle,
Thanks for the films, thanks for the memories!
Your contributions have put you in a special place for the forum. We have been blessed by your time and effort and we are the better for it.
Although.. I still don't forgive you for making me like the birthday video you did for Cende. Which in turn made me like the Dracula the Musical songs, which in turn made me mad that I didn't get to see the play now!!!
Seriously though Michelle... thanks!

It's funny - I know a lot of people tend not to like Frank Wildhorn's musicals. However, I happen to adore Linda Eder (his wife), and while I've no idea about how the full-on shows actually play out, I do enjoy individual songs.|

The fact that it kept me playing for years and also encouraged me to straighten up and take things seriously (try to anyway
) shows how much of a positive influence this game had on people.
Loved your work dr.
