Merman - A Roadside Attraction

Making a film whether live or in machinima is a big undertaking and those who venture into it's waters should be complimented for doing so.

I look forward to your future work.

Thanks

I've noticed that even with the pre-canned animations and everything, making a movie even with The Movies is a big undertaking. The Innsmouth Horror took me over 50 hours to make from writing the script to the final editing. Of course the tentacle scene (all image by image animation done in Photoshop) was very long to create.

I'm looking forward to working seriously with the final version of MS.

Now, this is my type of sense of humour. Excellent work, mrjoyce, accompanied with great commentary.
I am glad you like CrazyTalk. Crafted people like you prove that this little, but powerful program is one of the best "inventions" in software animation I ever saw.
You make my day with movie and commentary, mrjoyce.
I am so glad that I am in this beta program.

Tom,

It is my pleasure. I have become one of your biggest fans. Your articles on "Anymation" have fired me up to find a new voice for this work. Please keep mixing software and creating very innovative films.

Thanks Mr. Joyce for that reply.

It is interesting to me to get your view on things, as I (being a hobbyist myself) have had only contact with other hobbyists in this experience.

I'm thinking, and you did touch on it, that the biggest difference between live action and machinima is the social aspect. LOL with the difficulty people have of getting along with each other these days, maybe an "anti-social medium" is a good thing. Pointing the finger at myself

I find as I get older I am distancing myself further from others. So, the quiet time to plunge into a machinima project is often refreshing.

So you've come from an experience that required a network of individuals to "get the job done", and now you're a "one man show", and I'm suspecting from your response you like the change

LOL amazing. When I watched this film from Mr. Joyce, I kept thinking about Tom. Mysterious mind waves at work here

Woah!

Can I have a copy of your time machine, please? Animating Cthulhu is still on the todo list here.......

All I can say is wow, what a great piece of work, loved the merman very funny, I also loved the song.

Thanks everyone. I want to test a few more things. Moviestorm is nearly in a place where it is working for a series I'm thinking about (as soon as I can create some specific characters and dress them in some modded costumes).

That was just... lol.

Great job, man.

Excellent as usual. Love the use of images on Simple props. I have been unable to get my simple props to allow a user image but I don't know why. Anyway thanks for the interest in the hi res backdrops I will be using and at long last The Tour will be out today and you will be seeing some fantastic very large sets that you all will be able to win by guessing what movies are being referred to in the scenes. A couple are easy but a couple are hard.

Mr. Joyce, love what you said - yes Moviestorm cuts out all that is bad about the film industry and leaves us with a wonderful creative process. I think not only will Moviestorm boom but also internet film display. We an do and say what we want and all you need is time and creativity. Looking forward to seeing more of your movies.
