Remember that film I said I would start? Yeah...I made it and hate it. However, there is this really interesting piece of music I'm going to try to make a movie around. This is a really nice thread...It's great to see what other people are thinking.

With any luck, you won't be disappointed. :P The major setback of this movie was waiting for voice actors. The script was finished months ago. And assuming that one guy hasn't canceled on me, I should finally get the voices soon, and I can start adapting it into Moviestorm already. Hopefully, if this becomes popular, I won't have many casting issues in the future. I also finished building the sets awhile ago, too. I'm contemplating doing a set showcase movie, showing all of the sets except for the very last one, which would spoil the surprise. :mrgreen: Do you think that would be a good idea? I already made & rendered the first set. You might find this kind of amusing - the missing coffee was just a name I used for the very first time I used Moviestorm. I just made Detective Dedlie and made him walk around. I knew I wanted to make a Detective Dedlie movie, but I wasn't sure about what. Then I thought - why not use what was already there? And thus, I got the idea of Detective Dedlie in the Missing Coffee. I also didn't want this to be like any of my, "The Movies" movies where it had an extremely shallow plot that I wrote on the go. So I sat down and started to write the script, and I kept on writing it just about every day for around 2-3 weeks. Overall, it's roughly 22 pages, according to Microsoft Word, which is what I wrote it in. I was surprised at how quickly ideas of what was going to happen next came to me, and of how fun it was. In a way, I can't wait to finish this one so I can write another. :mrgreen: Oh, and I think you'll be quite surprised at who stole the coffee. :D [Edit] Whoo, I just got email confirmation that the one guy hasn't canceled on me. Yay! :P [Edit 2] I just sent out the last of the scripts to the voice actors, so I should get all the lines soon! 

I am thinking of making a small video to get more practice with MS. I must say that some video games have been sucking my free time a lot lately. I've also been reading Machinima for Dummies and want to wait until I'm finished before I jump back into moviemaking. I hearthily recommend it to everyone. It is an excellent read with tons of useful tips and suggestions that will make my movies better (and your too probably :) ). I still come by as often as I can to keep updated with the new stuff. 

I making a music video or maybe just an ordinary film combining Moviestorm and The Sims 2. The bad part is the PC with The Sims 2 installed was scheduled to be formatted because of a Windows problem, so I have to wait until I set it up again and running. This project was very interesting, one of the most unique projects I have thought about, since nobody ever cares about mixing The Sims 2 with Moviestorm yet. I got all my editors ready: Sony Vegas, Ulead Videostudio, Windows Movie Maker and Adobe Premier. Chroma keying is very difficult to do these days. Oh, and if some of you don't think I'm good enough at The Sims 2 machinima, check out my Youtube profile: http://www.youtube.com/Spong3y. I've been on a roll on machinima for over a year now, yet I can't do anything good enough. Oh well, better concentrate on something else now. I have made several experiments with Moviestorm, like my new concept about producing music videos with Moviestorm and many more. 

I come from the world of Sims2 machinima and Sims2 Machinima is very big and very well shown in festivals, in fact a Sims2 Machinima won 1st place(Best Machinima in World) in the Bitfilm Film Festival 2005 and my Sims2 music video I made for a band in Ireland came 2nd in 2006. There are a lot of Machinma out there in Sims2 and watched by a lot people. So there is still a nice size market out there for Sims2 Machinima. Anyways, I'm in the starting point of bringing over my screenplay I wrote a few years ago over to Moviestorm. I plan on probably having to use Antics3d 2.5 for small number of scenes to be combined with the Moviestorm scenes. I think, when done right the combination of engines can give a nice result. I've combined engines before and it's a lot of fun. Mike aka tacoshack27

Too true, friend stranger. 

I've just started using Moviestorm, and I'm currently practicing/looking for inspiration by machinimating scenes from some of my favourite films. I've also started a short surrealist piece called Lucid, but I get the feeling it'll be a while before I'm happy with it. 

I know what you mean, i'm a musician and I often find myself working on the same piece of music for far too long, tweaking tiny little things here and there until it drives you insane. Sometimes you just have to step away for a while and come back with a fresh mind. I don't really want to give anything away regarding Lucid, so I'll just say that the film is about dreams. Once i've put a coherent opening together I'll post up a rough cut to get some feedback, though i'm quite busy for a while so I don't know how long thats likely to be!  

I'm doing a music video of the song "Born to Run" by musician KOS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdZsUkYGq5k&fmt=18 I'm quite into the thing right now. So I'll see if I can dinish before my enthusiasm dies down. lol. 

I havent posted anything since May 2007 when I made `Surreally Pink`.I couldnt upload it to Moviestorm then although its still on my website www.randomcatproductions.co.uk if anyone wants to watch it. Like most of us I spend most of my time making a living and struggle to find the time to make movies.Over the next few months I plan to get back into Moviestorm,I have downloaded the new version and have started a `son of Surreallypink` Glad to see so many familiar names still here. 

A recent foray into sketchup has me exited about my sci-fi project I'm beginning a few months from now. Short term, I'm a few days from releasing another Presto Report with a new studio, and anxiously waiting for the crime pack to start Paranormal Investigator. With the weather getting colder, less bike riding. More Moviestorm! 

This is a good thing the less riding you do on that two wheeled motorised contraption of yours, the more likely you will get to finished Wizard World :mrgreen: and you thought I had forgotten all about it, NEVER! I SAY NEVER WILL I FORGET ABOUT OOH look pretty flower, sorry about that what was I saying oh! well it will come to me :lol:  

LOL! You crack me up, David! I've got a spot on The Presto Report about your mods. Does that make up for it? :mrgreen:
