Alterac Barracks

No, I'm not dead. I've had some computer-being-dead issues, some illness, and some employment to distract me, though.

This is entirely texture editing, so there are some UV problems with the model that I didn't fix. It is a version of the standard human barracks for Alterac, with snow.






I created it for SirFranc and Chronicles of Azeroth.

Roll out!

While the Ensidia project churns along, here's a bit of a sneak peek at what you can expect from Never Stay Tuned IV, Olibith's most ambitious collab yet! I worked heavily on two of the parts myself, and everything I've seen just makes me more excited to see the rest...

Still alive... and without a point!

Baron Soosdon's latest movie is out, and it features a bit of intro animation by me!
No Point
Go check it out on vimeo!

Machinima Film Fest 2008

Quick little update from the hotel- the fest was fun, albeit steeped in pretension.
Not many wow folks there, though I met a few, and also a few folks in other platforms that I liked, so that was neat.

I'll probably post more when I get home, so here's a couple pictures.

The Eyebeam place.


Steve Mullane, Jun Falkenstein, and Ian Beckman, the rest of the WoW delegation

A quick update

A little something Malu05(the creator of that epic machinima tool) asked for...

Still very unfinished, of course.



UPDATE:
Not really worth making a whole new post over...

Wow-Europe mentioned Busted again, too, but or the second time they didn't mention me.

Exposure and stuff

My page layout shows up on Warcraftmovies today, for a limited promotional period: I made the sidebars and the animated cornerbox. I am especially happy with the little thing with her eyes. Also, there's a bit of a poorly hidden easter egg somewhere on the page... Check it out while it's still up, and we now have a high quality download link for our movie there, too!





Also, Busted on GameTV-FR.com:

Synergy!

I have so much to say that I find it hard to start. The Synergy Contest is over, and Baron and I managed to, after days of deadlock, squeak out a three vote victory! We all knew it was a small margin, but I don't think anyone realized just how close it was...

Martin Falch took a well deserved second place, and Daniel Nordh had an even closer race for third place with Ramzinator, getting in with one vote!

http://www.warcraftmovies.com/contest.php

All I can say is thanks a ton to everyone who helped, everyone who voted, and everyone who put up with me. There will be a bunch of postmortem on this, I'm sure, but for now I'm catching my breath and preparing video streams and promotional artwork for Gametv-fr and Warcraftmovies- when the WCM movie page goes up for busted, we're getting the nice full page layout.

Bonus art and wallpaper

Given the vast amount of art and footage that went into Busted, it's not surprising we have some extra stuff, like this little picture:

Also, by request from someone with a big monitor, a nice large wallpaper featuring one of my favorite scenes...

Olibith Wallpaper


A ginormous thank you to everyone supporting us with votes and feedback! Several times, we nearly quit early, but you people are making me so glad we held together. And also glad that our intrepid sound guy didn't walk out on us, like we might have deserved!


Another wallpaper, for Caruu

First review

It's very exciting to have your movie reviewed by someone who makes great movies themself- and Olibith sure makes damn fine movies!



As usual, the crazy French gnome is a bit overblown in his praise, but I certainly appreciate it, and of course his giving permission for this madness...

Trivia: Olibith's voice was actually recorded over half a year ago for a scene in my Christmas machinima, 'A Warsong Carol'. It was a scene set in Warsong Gulch, too- but it was him saying "Sacre Bleu, they've got Tim!" when Tiny Tim was captured- and we all know what happened to him...

The contest has begun!

It's OUT! "Busted by Baron Soosdon and Pinkhair" on Warcraftmovies! (See rest of post for details or if you need help.)

Busted!

Go vote for us! Well, vote for who you think is best. But I think that's pretty much just saying the same thing.

I marked which one ours is, since there are two other movies with the same title:


If you cannot see the stream, you will need the latest version of Flash Player(9.0.115 or 9.0.124)

Oh yeah...

Before I forget, the other WWI machinima I worked on, Disks of Norgannon, is out on Warcraftmovies... Check it out!

http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=80897



I did the ending scenes of Illidan and Arthas, echoing the fight scene from Warcraft 3- As Malu mentions, the movie was made itn under a week, so there was little time to do everything, but I'm reasonably happy with how it turned out anyway.

It's finished...

Of course, I can't show you the movie yet until the voting period begins, then I'll see about getting a link to it up here!


Busted!



The Synergy contest is an interesting idea, where everyone uses one of two prewritten scripts and the results are compared. Given that the main purpose seems to be finding a producer for a project they have in mind, this isn't a bad idea- however, the scripts that were offered show some of the potential issues with the system. I'll be talking more about this later, but I'm interested to see what other interpretations besides ours people might have had.

I am looking forward to the people on WCM who don't read the contest rules and post comments like "Didn't someone else already make this?" given that, I imagine, most people who are serious will use the same script.

Much thanks to everyone who helped, especially Caruu, our voice actors, and Titanhoof for being a good sport.

ASV6

If all goes well, the latest installment of Azerothian Supervillains will be going up today, featuring some of my animation and background art- here's a picture I smuggled out of Ian's secret death fortress to reveal...



More when it's out.

Keep an eye out...

Needless to say, I'm excited about WWI- two of the entrants collaborated with me, and it was certainly an interesting experience. I also, indirectly, got to work with Caruu(who made my clip a lot better with his sound design), which was nice.

In addition to my more typical model editing and animation, this time I also did alogo for one of Soosdon's entries- Baron liked it, and I hope the FFVI fans in the judging will agree... ^_^



With the new contest coming and my crazy meatside situation, it looks like Succession might be delayed, but hopefully not for too long.

I blame Soosdon

I blame Baron Soosdon. He twisted my arm, he did. And Drewbie held me down as he did it.

In For A Penny part 1

At long last, Selserene has put up the first part of the movie we've al been waiting for sine her teaser some time ago... I was lucky enough to contribute some text animation which was neat. I think that this movie shows a lot of what is missing from many machinima, and you'd be shocked to learn how low-tech a lot of the technique is- just goes to show that hard work and artistic vision blow fancy tools away.

Anyway, go watch.

Pretty fly for a (former) Draenei

And here he comes!
I managed to restrain myself from adding treads.
