Ask Erin please, she's the one who provided me with the scenes :)

Did you watch the other ones too ?
Was it the left clicking or the direct link that worked for you ?

It was the "save as" option that allowed me to watch it. Pasting it on the search bar at the top of the screen just led me to the same white page. No, I've only seen one, I think that you called it "Blew up" or something very similar to that. I remember that it started with a trash can, or something to that effect.

Once again, though, great job Jassian, and your efforts here are certainly appreciated. [ok]

Well, now that you have gained the ability to watch the rest, please do. :D


No rush of course, but I'd really like to hear what you think. As always critical feedback is very welcome, it's the best way to learn :)
Even if sometimes I may reply : "yes, I agree, but I couldn't due to time, budget, personnel, etc. restrictions" [ok]

Alright. If there is more than one video, then I'll watch them later today (can't right now, since I'm going to be busy for a while).

'The Invasion of Noyas'

Cool to know other scenes have been filmed, I'll check them out later today. An update on what's going on site wise. Most of that side work is over. No more book cover & most of the spites have been made and now I know how to continue with the animation. I hope to have every thing return to normal soon so I have better time to do things like reading new stories :wink: .

Going to be leaving for work soon. Couldn't find the old .avi files but I did find all the Bryce info files. I'm going to re-render them for you starting tonight and extra scenes if you want to use them, in mean time I just sent you the theme music.

I said that I would watch the videos and review them by tonight, and I did! :)

First, and this question is just directed at Erin for whenever she comes around: what two episodes were those from?

As for the review. Personally, I thought you portrayed the mood for both as rather serious, which is a good thing, considering that the series is rather serious. The actors have talent, (although I'm certainly not very experienced in acting, I have taken two acting classes and have performed in a few school plays when I was younger, so I have a basic understanding of acting) and I think that they portrayed the characters well.

I ask for the episodes because I like to know what context the scenes are shot in, because the only downside that I noticed was the second scene appeared to have a bit of monotone, with little voice expression. It did not seem phony, but it did appear a bit rigid. Again, the scene could have been designed for that, and if so, then I take back what I say. Overall, though, you did a very nice job on the videos. Keep up the wonderful work, and I can't wait to see the theme song incorporated.

Which scene do you mean? The 'video conference' called 'reverse'
or the one in the gym? called 'your ship' ?

it's probably a bit of both. Both scenes are kinda serious. Especially the video coference one. This episode I did actually study, it's number 204. :)
I found the two 'good aliens' would be quite diestressed finding the earthlings overrun by the 'bad aliens' to put it simplistically. But it's also that i didn't have a chance to work with the actors as I usually like to. I normally 'workshop' each scene , for example the day before, more if I can, before i shoot it, this is where I discover a lot of subtleties. In these circumstances the actors had to come in rather cold. And we had to shoot quickly. On the same note, I have the tendency of slight monotony in scenes, which I'm aware of though and am usually consciously countering.

:)
So it's well noticed.

If you're asking which episode that I reviewed, I mean both of them. If you mean which scenes were serious (and I mean that as a compliment towards the videos), then both of them. But if you were referring to the monotone, then I mean the "video conference" episode.

Hope that clarified your question.

Thanks. :)
Yep, you're right especially the video conference is a litte.
I'll see if I can tweak it somehow :)

And now I have to re-type since I forgot the spell checker at first :? .

Just got to watch the new scenes since I've been busy all day.

2: I'm guessing the idea came from 'Divide & Conquer'. Not sure what to say except why the green screen? And um the guy could have put more into his acting.

3: 'The Island', Well done. It was weird seeing a woman portray Goodfellow but she did a good job of it :D . The only thing I'd like to see changed is "air" craft changed to space craft.

Loving what your doing, jassian 8) . My self and others that I've told of this are looking forward to the final result.

I don't know what that music came from. Trekscaper gave it to me a long time ago for the opening credits scene, only one other earlier piece got submitted to me but it didn't fit and that was from another person. Never posts have except twice early on, Ro. The theme music is much longer than what is used. No idea even who the artist is :oops: .

Ah I just realized, ERin, You already have a pretty good address. Is it
http://www.buckrogers26thcentury.com/
you want me to use?

If so, are you planning to update the layout a bit?
Maybe use a table and just add a few minor touches with font colors and so on ?
The title and background are cool. But in my opinion, others may disagree,
it could look a lot more professional with a few minor adjustments

I'm creating a mockup using the title sequence :)

I've uploaded a full mockup, with the animated scene!

I'll get new takes of the video conference, and I'll do a PROPER edit on it soon, don't forget I just threw this together on short notice. :)

Erin: May I have your permission to do some cuts in the dialogue to keep up the pace of the storytelling ?


I may have a musician lined up. :)
