...but like any good party it was the people that made it....
I got some photos inbetween crashing and taking my first machinima.
Apologies to those I didn't get.... you may be on the Machinima...below....
I word of warning though...it is my first attempt at a machinima, so it is pretty poor....
The Artist side of me wanted to put it in the bin.... but the blogger side of me thinks its good to show first attempts, after all, if there's one thing that is certain, it is that we have all improved our skill levels over the past year/s, and looking back at how crap we were when we started is a nice thing to do...soo..
It.s published here, without any music....still don't know about copyright etc... so...play something on iTunes while you watch... or whatever.
Eifachfilm provided us with a steady mix of upbeat toons last night that kept us all hopping....
On a technical note, I used ScreenFlow software, which I have only mastered the very basics of, as you can see. It is relatively cheap as far as editing software goes, with, currently, some of the worst tutorials available. The UI is very much like iMovie, which, in future I will use to improve stuff before I subject you to it.
My Space Navigator still hasn't been fully accepted by the viewers, but that is apparently not my fault as other people have the same problem. It works well as a tool, I just need to unplug and reconnect occasionally on login.
Now...all I need is a plan and a bit more skill...
...and..practice makes perfect, they say....
We'll have to see about that.
Thanks to Kelly Yap for a great time...and there is a whole bunch of great art on the floors below my psychodelic build which need more time and a gentle viewing... I will return..
:)))

ReplyDeleteNot a bad first attempt at machinima… my first was horrid. As a fellow novice keep going with it.
ReplyDeleteAs for music copyright, check this site out: http://ccmixter.org I love it and have used it a number of times. The music there is all in various flavors of Creative Commons licensing … and as I am sure you will find (if you haven’t already) there is a ton of music and mixes there.
It is great fun to explore (similar to www.freesounds.org).
