weekly update 18/9/10

I'm gunna have to do this update early because me computer crashed =(. That means there's going to be no work done on the Snipe trailer. I can't put in memory sticks at the library because they say they 'stick viruses into a public computer'. So I can't give you section 2 of the storyline or any of some recent frames I've done. This is really bad timing.

I wasn't really doing much work on Snipe recently anyway, I've been trying to do detailed copys of halo 3 weapons, characters, vehicles, and backrounds. Most of them are tough work, but you need to do it in order to make a a kickass fighting scene or try to do something that you can't do in the boundrys of halo 3. As you may know the new Halo Reach video game has come out. This will be the last halo made by Bungie. So the next halo game (if any) will probably be full of something you would scrape out of a toilet. On the lighter subject, I may be able to use a friend's computer to do my work on. It'll be hard negotiating, but I think I've got some one. 

That's all I've got time for due to the library's stupid one hour time limit, I would've write more, but you get a bit desperate when you haven't seen anything actually worth watching in a while...

AI_110 weekly update 13/09/10

Until a few years ago, writing has been a favourable thing of mine.OK here's the first part of the storyline. This is from the main character's point of view and his thoughts. This maybe put into a book at some point.

Section 1: An unusual finding


I was doing what I usually did. Talk about fate, now I’m stuck here trying to kill this jackass. Of course I start from the beginning every story starts from the beginning, well…mostly. Anyway I was 11.

“Hey Danny! Give us some,” I demanded

Now you’ve probably figured I’m not gunna write my own name. Oh what difference does it make? Only a handful of people know it. Of course I have to use an ALIAS.

Danny passed me some chips. We walked silently along my house’s path. Just as I stepped in the house, I had a shiver run up my back. Some wacko might say it’s a ‘guardian angel’ trying to warn me. I’d read a few books about a guardian angel. The books were good, but I didn’t believe in guardian angels. Danny and I went into the kitchen. This is probably where I should’ve started this story mind you. Anyway, we went into the kitchen, and saw blood over the fridge, the wall and the sink. My mother was sprawled on the ground of the kitchen. Blood was gushing out of here head and neck. How long we stood there I don’t know, could’ve been 2 seconds could’ve been 2 hours. One of arms was pointing at an unnatural angle. I could feel hot tears forming in my eyes. I could hold it in no longer, I let tears go all over the place, I kneeled by her side. I don’t know why but a word flashed in my mind. Pulse. I quickly put my two fingers somewhere around her neck. Nothing.

“No!” I cried

I searched different places around her neck, by now Danny was kneeling down with me. And then, a pulse! She was alive! Just.

“Quick let’s call an ambulance!” Danny shouted Danny.

I didn’t reply, I felt like it was a miracle that she was alive. Well it was a miracle I guess.



The next part of the story takes place in the hospital. My mother for the first time is awake. I was really stressed because Danny and I had been down to the police station for hours. We had to explain the story over and over. They didn’t let us in the same room in case Danny’s story was different to mine. Of course they were the same. My mother’s eyes fluttered then stayed open.

“Mum!” I cried.

I jogged closer to the bed. I could clearly see large stiches all across her neck.

“What happened?” I asked.

“I’m sorry if I scared you. I can remember what happened vaguely,” answered my mother.

“Really?” I asked.

I then remembered to keep my voice down. If someone heard me talking to my mother than they would tell the police she’s awake and well to be questioned.

“Yes. I was making us supper for us. Someone knocked at the door continuously. I opened the door but there was no one there. I thought it was just some door knocker. I went into the kitchen. A few minutes later, I heard someone-”

Her eyes fluttered, then her eyes rolled up and closed. She’d fainted.

“Mum, mum,” I whispered.

She didn’t wake up.

“Hey were you talking to her?” came a woman’s voice.

Before I could reply she hurried through the door.

Of course a few minutes later, some men in police uniforms came through.

They were talking to the nurse who saw me. They were whispering so I couldn’t hear what they were saying.

Now either you’re too immersed to realise this or maybe you have noticed this, I can remember every exact detail. This is because I have a journal I’ve kept all these years. I’ve written in it every day since I got it. Of course after a year of keeping it you run out of pages. I couldn’t just stick more in, so I took off the back cover page of my journal, stuck a couple more hundred pages in and glued the back cover page where it’s naturally supposed to be after I’ve done the previous steps.



Anyway, the men had stopped talking and had walked over to me. I caught a smug grin, and then the ‘police’ pulled out their weapons and cocked them.

“Kid your luck just got a whole lot worse than your mother almost dying,” said one of the pretend police.

I then saw my mother’s eyes fluttering. She awoke, but only I saw her, because I was the only one looking at her. She woke up so stealthily. But the thing I saw most important about this, I saw a shimmer of a sharp silver dagger.

It's a bit long and you may not be interested in this sort of stuff.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If you haven't caught onto it yet, I'm only doing frames that have a moron backround, these are drafts. The frames in the trailer will be semi-drafts.
 
Yet again that's all I have time for, see ya

Weekly update 06/09/10

Hey,
not really much to tell this week, we're uh at the alpha stage of the Snipe trailer, so this is where I start to tell you guys more about the storyline, some of the screenshots, ya know that kinda stuff. There's going to be alot of work done over the next few months so stay tuned.

Also alot of work being done on the Snipe trailer. And a few updates ago I said about looking for 3D animation for my machinima and animation projects. Well I couldn't really get 3D cafe to work, thanks you guys for all the feedback on alternative websites I could've used. I tried all of them, but none of them really suited my purposes. The best was Pencil. It was advanced ya know my type of style, but it's just you can only insery GIF format images which was the bit that let it down.

Because of this, I'm just using paint to make my drawings, and I'm going to use 'I can animate' from kudlian software which only allows you to put in frames and edit them, put in music you know the drill.

More back to the subject of machinima, I've decided to use 2D animation instead of 3D. I've done a few DRAFT sketchs. And lately my inbox has been full of shit emails saying how much I suck dick at drawing, when they saw two screenshots. Seriously they are DRAFTS. D-R-A-F-T-S. Here's a DRAFT of a halo 3 battle rifle.

Weekly Update 30/08/10

OK, I've changed the weekly update times to Monday. The reason is cause I have alot of ideas over the weekends, and I can't wait another 3 days to post them.

Now as you know The Sniper is a really, really gay title, so I've changed it to Snipe. It's stilla pretty gay title, but it's the only thing I could think of with anything accosiating with sniping. Also It's the best title for the next ten years compared to the The Sniper. I've also stopped everything on the Thing-thing project. I really want to make Snipe at least a decent animation, as it's gunna be the first real animation onto the net. If I got a the whole week on it I'd probably be done. I get an all right amount of work on it, but I'm still trying to improve my timetable. Oh yeah and if you send me any angry emails saying how much of a dick I am for copying so aspects of the Castle stick figure series, Snipe was INSPIRED by Castle, so you'll see some aspects of it, and if you've read manga (Japenese graphic novels) than you'll get a flurry of deja vu. Here are some screenshots to keep you guys interested. And these ar DRAFTS, so don't go on about how shitty they are, and this is only for the trailer.

Thanks for reading,

PS Thing Thing is on the shelf now, working script, but it may have to be forgotten for a while

AI_110 weekly update 26/08/10

hey,
I've decided to do a weekly update.
Now I'm mainly focusing mainly on the sniper. I got this trailer song from one of the parts from the castle series (Castle III part D to be exact) It's a really good trailer theme and you can download it here http://www.huntmymusic.com/download.php?name=Immediate_Music_-_Def_Con.mp3&url=t62XabuWw8iblM9kmtChwdKkemWYrMLYurx-oY_afOKnhITAu4Sdo0xuQsXIiXGItYa6t8TYh6GnwqDgrnZuoLeHrp2wYJ2qw57OsLOrkJGsnaxOZFik1Z5qkMasgqHNxZ1vm86EosKnjXfO


Thanks for reading

PS In my last entry I said about the 3D animation, well 3D cafe looks good, but it says it has maintenance, and they will be back in 2009, so any help would be appreciated on any free easy to use animation, that you can use with stickmen, and make video game cinematics.

New Video

hey,
sorry for the lack of updates. I'm working on two new videos. One is called the sniper (yeah, yeah, gay title) It's a stickmen thing kinda inspired by the stickmen castle series, so you will be seeing scenes kinda like that. I'll be posting that on new grounds and on stickpage.com. I'm a shit animator, but I don't really have exspensive high tech equipment. All I got is a homemade animation board, a mini DV camera, and some paper. I'd use a digital camera, but you have to buy like 50 different memory cards for one video seeing as you have to do like 25 frames (pictures) for 1 second. All my animation is hand drawn, I'm not that a good drawer, but I don't really have any good animation software to help me with that kinda stuff. Anyway, the sniper wears a bandana, and will only use melee and his sniper rifle as a weapon. Though that seems I'm being lazy putting only like 5 different weapons, I'm gunna do alot of stuff they find off the ground, or just rip off. Stones, bricks, cars e.t.c. The sniper isn't really my main project, it's just something I'm doing for fun.

I'm also working on this video called Thing thing. If you played the game you'll know the stotyline, but these are totally new characters and storyline. I'll release the storyline a few days before release. Like the sniper it's all hand drawn. Oh yeah with these movies there will be absolutely no colour apart from blood. I'm trying to base it back to the good ol' madness combat, ya know with random guys just pulling out cigarettes in the middle of battle, or having 100 different weapons. Because this is hand drawn, I'm gunna have to like lag. Well ya know when you play something over xbox live or playstation network or some shit, and your internet connection is shit, or someone else is using the internet at the same time as you, well it'll be kinda like that but not like long drawn out shots, like a guy is practically standing still, he stays still for 5 minutes and then he's killed you. The only significane that it is based on Thing Thing is that it's drawn the same and you may see cameos of the cast like #153, or hades or some shit.

Well anyway, thanks for reading and stay tuned for the videos, The Sniper will be uploaded on http://www.stickpage.com/ and http://www.newgrounds.com/ Thing Thing will just be posted on new grounds.

see ya

PS I'm doing extra hard for machinima, I'm also gunna try and do 3D animation like rooster teeth

Machnima Episodes and Series'

OK,
so the trailer for Wastelands, sorry to say this but will probably be out in months, maybe a year. If you're reading this and thinking what the fuck, dividing MDH what the fuck were you thinking putting you're machinima behind everything else. God he eats babies. Well I do put my machinima in front of everything else, but I'm on a tight schedule, and I have to increase my budget.

The reason for this is because I still don't know how to record my machinima. I'm thinking of using a hard drive recorder, but I don't think that will work. And no I cannot use a capture card because I don't have a laptop, and my computer is that the other side of the house, so a cord running through the house would be annoying, and I don't think I could get enough extension cords. So is there's a wireless capture card, plz tell email me the brand and where I can get it. I have a bunch of ideas right now, I've written a few scripts for thefirst season of wastelands, but until I can get find something for recording I'm afraid I'm stuck.

You're probably thinkng what is wastelands or keeping the dead or roadtrip. Well I can't tell you exactly because of idea stealers. Wastelands is about a group of soldiers stranded on a wasteland with a twist with the enemy and a story of survival. The plot will change aot as the seasons come. Roadtrip is a series mainly based on the HILARIOUS car show by the BBC called Top Gear. It's based mainly on the events of the crazy situations and things they did. Keeping the Ded is a detective series mainly about serial killers with an MO. 'm planning on using a variety of special effects to have blood and guts. There's also going to be a short one episode on the james bond video game because I think the first level of Quantom of Solace fits the rare gun killers in the series, and the places are perfect. There will be a variety of PSAs, mainly based on the characters of roadtrip, and all the stuff that didn't happened in the seires, the top gear winter olympics for example.

yo,
