It’s like watching slide show video’s. Some times you might need to but as you mentioned keep it sharp, quick. I know the video shots take so much time to set up and thats all good but in your edits you have so much creative power to mke the MTV style video’s and vine type video’s need to go quick. thats my challenge to myself.
The Tron estate just needs some love. I will just do a walkthrough then pen it and shoot the heII out of it and see where it goes.

Your Dr. Who spot was classic but you know which video I liked best of yours. Second best would be the one you made with Melissa as it had a cool Sci-Fi vibe to it.

Swear though, Video’s are just Aawesome forms of creating your own vision, whatever that is. It stays with you in strange ways.

I think it’d be epic if you made a Tron Legacy Home film!

I freely admit I’m far from being Home’s best filmmaker. Most of the pre-LOOT machinima I created over the last few years I can’t stand to watch any more. But it takes going through that process to get to someplace even halfway decent. Now that I publish a lot of community machinima in Home via the EOD, I figured it might be worth offering some advice on how to avoid the learning-curve landmines I stepped on.

Ten-second spots are a challenge, but a good one to master. You know which machinima piece I did that got the most feedback from some interesting higher-ups within Home management? The infamous Doctor Who “SOON” teaser. Eleven seconds long, one sound effect, just one word, and the Home logo. People went bugnuts over that thing.

It’s amazing what happens when you really get the hang of ten- to thirty-second machinima. You get really, really good at distilling the point you’re trying to make into the shortest timeframe possible. Hence why we ran that fake advertising machinima contest last year: to get a lot of Home’s filmmakers thinking in seconds instead of minutes. The results were amazing.

I have been messing around with a Tron Legacy Home video idea but was scared off after my last Norsling ”jab” lol.

Article was spot on.

Next project just might be something no one has tried yet. Short strung together ”vine” type video. 10 second spots would be a challenge hmm?
