Facemelting

Pretty unusual, but surely also the only one to ever be released. A PvP movie... yeah. Now stop throwing stuff at me - I'm innocent.
The footage for the video was captured in season 3 (late january 2008) and was rotting on my HDD since then. A friend of mine kept on annoying me for several weeks to release that stuff, so I apprently sacrified those 3 hours of editing.
Just in case you want to watch it - click the picture above or here.

The good news is:
I'm working on a whole machinima series at the moment and with some luck the first sneak-peek might be available today. The trailer will be released by the end of the week if everything works as planned and I hope to have the first episode up and running in two or three weeks.

Leatherday

So I needed black leather, but there's non ingame *sighs* time to learn WoW texture editing.

Yeah... whatever

I don't know what I wanted to write here - time for bed.

Meat & Greet with some BlingBling

Maybe someone remembers that (visually) horrible movie - Meat&Greet - the first one I released and also the fastest one if I remember correctly. The wohle thing was made in one single 21-hour session or something and I had no superior editing software (or skills). Everything was made in Premiere 5.0 and even the keying reminds me a bit of Windows MovieMaker.

Well, whatever - I thought I might be able to adjust some parts, get better colors in, etc - just to find out that the complete footage got destroyed during a HDD crash last year. Still willing to make it look a bit better I just took the second best choice in the end and edited the only rendered version that I have within 30 or 40 minutes
(and thats what it looks like :P ).
Some color corrections, some masks, some adjusted curves, some more masks, some gradients, some lolglows and it's done. And yessss - it still looks horrible, BUT it has lolglows!

It's also up on WCM so maybe throw some bad rating at me over there or whatever you prefer for throwing.

EPIXX - Too Fast For Love

Update: Vimeo Stream's up!
So - I read about this machinima contest in BaronSoosdon's blog and unfortunately I decided to participate. So far that's not really anything special to write about, but the contest lasted from Jul. 31st to Sep. 6th. When I found out that there's a contest going on it was indeed the 2nd September.
Well... 3,5 days for a 36-day project ain't a problem, right?




I had quite exactly 4 hours of sleep in the last 3 days, but - tada - it's finished. The downside of the timeframe is that I had no time to really work on the sound and - even worse - no time to find proper voiceactors. 90% of the voices are done by me (sounds horrible *shiver*) - luckily moo_money did the voiceacting for a gnome girl and she did that pretty well indeed - thanks for adding at least one good voice to the project!



Anyways - it's up on FileFront and I strongly recommend to not use the FF stream. If you really want to see it, use the Vimeo Stream or better - download it! It's only 150 MB anyway.

On a sidenote: The script was 100% written by BaronSoosdon so don't blame me for the lack of logic or ask me stupid questions like "why is there a huge SPACE ONION lading in Warsong Gulch?!" - the answer is:
I dont know.



On yet another sidenote: Rock'n'Troll will come, but probably not this very summer. That one is a huge project and as I want it a least a bit perfect'ish it'll take some more time. But it will be worth the effort - Just stay tuned.
