Hello Moviestormers!

I have been busy creating a promotional advert for moviestorm to be used as a selling point for us at various events and over the web. We thought what better way of making an advert for moviestorm than a show reel showing all the best 'eye candy' created by YOU! Our valued customers.

This was a great project for me as I actually got a chance to watch everything you guys have produced over the years and my god your a talented bunch!

So here it is for your enjoyment. Moviestorm. In all its glory. Please let me know what you think. I would also welcome suggestions of other movies that could go into it as some clips can be replaced if I find something better.

I hope I have credited everyone correctly. If there's anyone missing also, please let me know.


Kind Regards,
Alex

I've been waivering for a few days wondering what's wrong with this. It's a perfectly adequate showreel, with some great footage showing moviestorm at its graphical best....but its a bit boring (and the films it draws from aren't in themselves dull, so something has gone awry)


The reel seems to be about showing the graphical potential of moviestorm...if that's what it IS then ignore this...

Even in MICRO clips with no dialogue you need to show character, conflict and drama, or at least mix those clips in with the action...this is what draws audiences in...and as a consequence this is what draws film makers in.

Close up explosion, our hero running, agonised face, washington in flames, space alien, screaming woman, hero grabs woman.

I know I am being picky because showreels often are a bit dull, but what if this was the trailer for the 'the ride of your life', 'an exciting adventure in machinima'?

What if cut into the footage you had a live clip of Iceaxe with a sentence about what it meant to him to show a film at atopic, or Chatnoir reflecting on her writers awards. machinima changes people's lives, it's a BIG deal....you know, inspire people.
