Curse

Hey folks,

I've got a two-part series of videos from the end of the beta event last night. I managed to leave my fraps on for the entire last hour (thank goodness for the spare hard drive) and caught everything happening in Lion's Arch District 2. So if you were in that district, you might see yourself in one of the two (or both, haha) movies.

The first one up is the huge boat party, followed by the appearance of the Garden Gnomes that say Ni! (haha). I've also made it in a music video format, which I think you'll like (and find comic).

The second one won't be up till really late tonight after I'm off of work, and will contain the money from heaven, fireworks, and the giant worms. I'll be posting that in this same thread tomorrow morning.

Here's the link to the first one: Click here to download
Note that it requires the XVID codec to view...which, if you don't have, you can obtain here (it's quite small):

Cheers!

Ended up splitting the second video into two for "mood and music" purposes.

Fireworks: Clicky

Worms:
Clicky me too!

Enjoy!

TRUEgamer · Apr 19, 2005, 06:54 PM // 18:54

I didn't see any of this happen because I was in the middle of a CTR match

LOL looked awesome though!

jdwoody · Apr 21, 2005, 03:21 PM // 15:21

Those are awesome! What video editing software do you use?

Evik · Apr 21, 2005, 05:20 PM // 17:20

Thanks for the comments! I used Vegas Video for those...

Great Vids I was In Ascalon City but would have loved to have made it to LA

Nice vids!

However, it should be noted that the Beach Boys song in question is "Kokomo", not "Komoko". (It's correct in the credits, but the filename is wrong.)

Orbit · Apr 21, 2005, 08:42 PM // 20:42

Very nice videos.

Too bad we will not have any more parties or endings from now on. There will be special events like holiday stuff but no more everyone staying up late to gather for something.

Thumpy · Apr 22, 2005, 01:34 AM // 01:34

Ooo worms are neat!

Hehe yup, I know. Did a typo late at night when I rendered them, and didn't realize till after I had linked to them. It'll be corrected probably next week as I'll be moving the files to another server due to bandwidth transfer straints.

Venjance · Apr 22, 2005, 04:50 PM // 16:50

Links are dead

404 - files cannot be found

Eejit · Apr 22, 2005, 09:01 PM // 21:01

Yeah, all your links are belong to the dreaded 404.

Make with the fixing!

Dravic Badmoon · Apr 23, 2005, 04:04 AM // 04:04

Hmm i take it you are in the process of moving the files to a new server then, since your links are dead, tell me when they are back up again, b/c i wanna look a the them.

Evik · May 05, 2005, 04:47 PM // 16:47

I don't mean to needlessly bump this topic, however, as I earlier posted I had to move my videos about two weeks ago off my personal website due to bandwidth transfer constraints and onto a sister site I had been (indeed, still am) in the process making exclusively for media things I do. So, if you clicked on the links at that time and received a 404, my appologies. If you missed out, you can re-download them here:

The First Video

The Second Video

The Third Video

Nothing's been changed in them so if you got them the first time, it's the exact same thing.

As a side-note and slightly off topic, there are future videos planned in the tradition of machinima. So, if you'd like to participate in possibly a few summer projects of scripted & directed Guild Wars movies, give me a pm here or in game (Rei Bledstudt).
