The Ruined Cathedral








Yes, somehow I've actually managed to do some work on my next video project. I've had this particular idea rattling around in my head for a year, and I didn't expect any work on it would get done while I'm in school, but sometimes it serves as a nice distraction ... at least a creative one.

I actually completed the storyline on Friday, and I've chosen to keep the title to myself for the moment. I did promise a friend a few screen shots, since she was kind enough to help me search for some files.

I spent three days constructing this set, which I call The Ruined Cathedral, and at six this morning I began a rebuild completely from scratch. Because of the changes I made to my config files, the first build was too "tight", and I anticipated some problems in being able to capture my video. The settings are extremely sensitive to level change in the grid and sends my camera bouncing into those places I'd rather it not go.

I have no idea how long this project is going to take me, but I thought it was way past time for me to update this blog. On a closing note, another thanks to my friend who sifts through those web pages, looking for content.

Lineage2 Machinima

I began playing Lineage2 before I began my practice with machinima. In fact, it's been more than five years since I first discovered the beautiful world of Aden and the wonderful creatures that roam its lands. And after discovering machinima, the idea of making a video with Lineage2 has tormented me from time to time.

So, when I happened across this little Lineage2 machinima piece, I was rather impressed, but I also know the degrees of effort it requires to make machinima with the Lineage2 game engine.
