Downfall - Episode 1: Afflicted

[thegamerwhopwns]

the voice is the wolf voice is of wolf in wolfs retarted mission right?

[TheAxeMan12321]

how do you record the tv

[MrSolidsonic]

whoa...this reminds me of the movie I am Legend. i like that movie & i like this too!

[reaperdeathgod1]

Some of the commentary is too quiet in comparison to the music, especially in the beginning. Next time please lower the music level.

[JigglyPuff569]

i dont get how samus got infected with the virus wasnt she immune to it too?

[GetoCoolAidStudios]

@JigglyPuff569

I dont think shes completely immune to it. she can still contract it, but still be in moderate controll

[masterbrawler111]

It's alright, but there are some issues I noticed. First off, tags, or HUDS, or whatever they're called, they're clearly noticeable. And second, too much camera movement during the fight scenes. Once you've filmed your fight scenes, then that's when you move the camera angles with Vegas. Too much camera movement makes it irritating to look at.

[Hugorulz1]

what video editor did you use?

[BlackAndWhite9999]

@Hugorulz1 Sony Vegas 6.

[Hugorulz1]

would you mind telling me how much did it cost?

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Sony Vegas costs a couple hundred dollars.

[Hugorulz1]

WoW! no sony vegas for me then o_0

[DeadlyStevo1408]

Not if you find a crack for the program. =p

[BlackAndWhite9999]

BUT THAT WOULD BE ILLEGAL SIR. >:O

[DarKhaosProductions]

Yes it would. And what would we do without our shining example of righteousness, BlackAndWhite9999, guiding us, and exposing the error of our illegal ways.

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Damn straight.

[BarcelonaBlitzer]

You guys are my heroes!

[murcam]

fucking awesome! you rock!

[tomatoesofdoom]

Snake sounds exactly like snake, Awesome.

[koolio67890]

awesome job and good luck with ur future machinimas!

[haku155]

very nice voice acting, like really good 5/5 ^^

[silvermasterquest999]

its just awesome .. <3

[Eurashal]

Considering this was your first Machinima, it was amazing. I've yet to watch episode 2 yet, but if this is anything to go by, it'll be incredible.

Keep up the good work.

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Thanks! If you liked this, you'll love Episode 2.

[Deadlystevo100]

this is really good, voice acting is great. and i really like how the camera shakes in fighting scenes. great job

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Oh, well drat, because that camera shaking is going to be far less prevalent in future projects due to popular demand.

[Deadlystevo100]

ah, but im still glad it was in this episode as well, idk to me it makes fight scenes more intense (dont ask why lol) and i just finished watching episode 2, you're doing a really awesome job. i've been craving to watch a great machinima for quite some time. downfall is keeping me occupied, keep it up!

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Aw damn, you're killing me here. I put Downfall on hiatus for my new series.

[AnotherMarioFan]

Whoever voiced as Snake sounds exactly like him

BTW Whats with the complaints about "Circles"? Do they mean the shields that pop up?

[AnotherMarioFan]

Never mind lol

Wasnt paying attention XD you can delete the comment

[silenthammer]

dude wtf with the circles -_- u had the texture hacks and camera hack but not a hack to get rid of some gosh darn circles -_-

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Take a look at when this video was uploaded. January 3, 2009. Texture hacks and the code to get rid of the circles weren't created yet. Get off your damn horse.

[silenthammer]

w/e i still dont wanna see any circles, its annoying. culda cut off the side of the screen or somethin -_-

[BlackAndWhite9999]

If you don't wanna see off-screen indicators, don't watch machinima older than a few months.

I worked really hard on this episode and didn't think it would make a difference if I didn't crop out the indicators, and obviously it didn't since no one but you cared.

[silenthammer]

look, it was awesome i just hate seeing circles in something that appears to be awesome okay?

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Okay, fine, but I feel it's being overly anal. You'll notice episode 2 doesn't have these circles.

[MistressFluff]

So cool!

[TenaciousG182]

Damn, Snake's voice acting is spot on... amazing...

I bet you could fool people into thinking it's the original david hayter :)

[TheLeoKlein]

credits music source plz =P

[Maplebomb123]

plz give ike a more important role

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Uhh...I'll see what I can do, but I kind of have most of the story mapped out already.

[oki2314]

will u have any other auditions for any other characters or is the the other characters done yet?

[BlackAndWhite9999]

No, all the characters I have in mind have actors already.

[ChristianTypeR]

Wait, so the dark people are bad.

Snake ans Samus are good.

How about the colorful people?

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Colorful people? I assume you mean Marth, Ike, Fox, and Falco.

They, too, are good.

[EminatorX210]

wow this is really good! generally I only watch comedy machinima but I like this! especially for your first time. And its cool how this Wolf is the same as the one on Wolf's Retarded Mission haha.

[harukobunny]

u gonna make more?

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Definitely!

[sockmonkey1234567890]

When do you plan to make Episode 3

[BlackAndWhite9999]

I hope to release it by next fall. Haven't begun work yet.

[BlackAndWhite9999]

I assume you mean me, so thank you!

[DTKReborn]

Amazing voice acting for Snake much!

[ChidoriFlash89]

i love drama and action! nice vid!

[chri1494]

sons of liberty theme is the greatest.

also bravo on the voice acting, snake is top notch, also wolf is brilliant. well done

[WoWJazz]

Finally, a serious machinima yipee!

[cocolek3]

hmm i like it, it's caught my interest, but it's not really funny so far, i'd suggest some comic relief

[Sharkwizard]

maybe this is a SERIOUS machinima. Not all of them have to be comedy.

[BlackAndWhite9999]

This is a dark-toned action/drama series. There will be virtually NO comedy.

[sscool100]

good vid

[penquin12500]

whats the credits song?

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Sons of Libery theme, the Beatmania Remix.

[iRoxC]

That is a fantastic Snake impersonation by BigK. However, I do prefer Smashtasm's editing to this one. The fight scenes are all colorless and the camera is too wild during that time. However, This does look like to be a promising machinima. Great job.

[BlackAndWhite9999]

While you're entirely entitled to your opinion, I do have to say that comparing this to Smashtasm is rather asinine. There's absolutely no similarity between the two aside from engine. Writing-wise, editing-wise, cinematography and direction-wise, the shows are entirely different. A better comparison would be this to Shindo or this to Silver Crisis.

But still, thanks for the comment.

[iRoxC]

Yeah there's no similarity. In genre really. But It's hard to make machinima different from any other. It's not like real life. You don't have many tools to make it all your own. I do love the seriousness of the machinima though. This is the kind of machinima that doesn't need comedy... The one with a really good snake voice...

[Pakkidge]

very cool

and great snake voice

just one thing

use the no offscreen indicators code

it helps alot

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Thanks a lot, and yeah, I got the code a long time ago.

[MissArtsyFartsy]

Snake voice is awesome!

I love it!

So great!

He's like a clone of David Hayter.

[KaiDollSSBB]

coole Snake-Stimme

[1996isover]

haha, this vid was uploaded on my b-day!

[zacharia595]

this is going to be an amazing machinima it has a good story and great voice actors

[marneus90]

Wow...that's pretty damn good voice acting for Snake.

[DxChao]

3:14 LOL ... CRACK.. AHHHHHHHHHH . lolz this is gana be a great machinima

[MistahBones]

nice! thers something wrong with samus's mic though :P...i think, it's nt that clear

[DamuEmran]

i love the music and voice acting is great. Your snake voice is awesome. And having solid snake as the main character is new as well. Great storyline

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Thanks, but I'm not the voice actor for Snake. BigK is. He does a way better Snake than I ever could. :P

[AlphaShizz]

That Snake voice is amazing

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Downfall episode 2 is out.

[thescarsalizzy]

i no

ITS FREAK'EN AWESOME!=D

[PWNALL471]

Pretty good machinma, I have feeling that this iis going to be a good one.

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Thanks, man. I just uploaded the opening if you want to check it out.

[cammyboy123]

I like your work great job ;)

[BlackAndWhite9999]

I need to put some REAL credits for this series...some "Created by", some "Directed by", some "Written by".

All of them will be me, of course. :D

[AngstyStudios]

Did you know that that EXACT part of Metal Gear Saga is what Pathogen was originally scored to before Craig came along?

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Ah. Good choice in music. :D

[RyeDragon]

awesome machinima, but the fight scenes, you moved the camera around too much for a not so epic fight scene :|

[iJetster]

thats the most awesomest Snake voice ever... ~presses subscribe~

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Lol, thanks for the sub! And that's the talent of BigK!

[BrawlKowz]

Okay...WTF MORE VIEWS PLZKTHX?!

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Well, you subscribed, so therefore I love you too.

[SinisterHoodedFigure]

The way you introduce the characters including acknowledging the actors on the subs is very similar to metal gear solid = unique in a way. Different from other machinimas, just like it was different from other video games. One of the few machinimas where snake is the protagonist, and that feature fits perfectly. I'm amazed you got Shock Dingo into this (coincidentaly wolf in this machinima just like in wolf's retarded mission series). This machinima has serious potential. I hope it pulls through

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Thanks a lot for the positive feedback. I got the idea of putting character titles with actor names from Metal Gear Solid, I thought it gave it a nice touch. In fact, much of the series is influenced by Metal Gear Solid's style of storytelling through monologues and such, and with Snake playing the detective on occasion, because it's so well-done.

I'm a Metal Gear fan, in case you haven't gathered. :)

[Sekunri]

Very very well done. The voices, the story, all very impressive.

Question - did you use hacks? I noticed you had free camera movement but you had those bubbles on the side, I think their called tags...

.... just curious cause if you don't have it a friend of mine gave me the No Tags / HUD codes but I can't use them (can't hack).

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Thank you very much.

Yes, I do have hacks. Do you have the Homebrew Channel and GeckoOS functioning? If so, then you should be able to use it.

[BoomDowg]

this is bloody epic, well done!

[SmashtasmPakkery]

Omg dude :'D Great speech I agree with every word.

[KingChronn]

What was that amazing music in the beginning it was great!

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Metal Gear Saga from the Metal Gear Solid 4 Official Soundtrack.

[thanyou]

Oh and why would you kill off your character?

[BlackAndWhite9999]

What character?

[thanyou]

Afflicted Link =p

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Who says he's dead? >.>

[thanyou]

Well you sorta made it seem that way <.<

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Lol, word of advice: in a BlackAndWhite9999 machinima, just because someone seemingly dies on-screen doesn't mean they're dead. That'll be reinforced in Ep2.

[thanyou]

So the Afflicted can't die?

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Mebbeh...

[DarKhaosProductions]

Awesome Camera work. Awesome story. Awesome voice work. Wow this is amazing. Can't wait for episode 2.

Is it just me or at the beginning did you keep looking at Samus's butt? lol

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Lol, well she is juicy. rofl

And thanks for the sub!

[Hexthevex]

Most underrated machinima EVER!

It needs publicity...which I don't get 'cos it was featured on youtubes homepage. I could walk into a yoututbe stream, mention you, and they'd shrug me off!

So you know, I actually have this downloaded to my phone...It's a great example to show people who don't get how awesome machinima is.

[thanyou]

I got headaches during the fight scenes because it was shaking so much, but this is the only good Machinima I've seen where Snake is the main protagonist. Can't wait for #2 :D

BTW: You got Dingo to play as Wolf? Awesome *High-Fives*

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Finally, someone who shares my pain. Yes, the fights gave me a headache too, from now on all fights will be choreographed.

And yeah, I'm really glad I got Dingo. He adds a great sense of professionalism to it.

Btw, what other machinimas have you seen with Snake as the protagonist?

[thanyou]

There are too many to count, but pretty much every Machinima with Snake as the main protagonist sucks because there is no plot, or at least its bad, or hard to see, but not worth seeing (If that makes sense :P) But I like your's because it has a plot, and its actually good *High-fives again*

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Do you know at least one example (besides Commandos: Brawl Police, which is awesomesauce, so nu!) I honestly haven't seen that many Brawl machinimas with Snake as the protagonist, but I'd like to see some.

[thanyou]

There are alot of shorts and I think some full series, but I don't want to try to remember them.

BTW, Brawl Commandos is an EPIC Machinima, and Snake's Crazy Codecs is also just as good

[xViRuZsx]

FINALLY!

1,000 Views.

[BlackAndWhite9999]

If you combine that with the views on Machinima, 2,700 or so.

[howzaboutotakulad]

fights are an instant fave...

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Trust me, I've tried. Every time I upload it, it says "Video Failed to Upload".

[ShadowKnight246]

Hmm, wtf? Still awesome job though. Keep going at it

[doompatron3000]

This is only your first time making a machinima? Wow you like a pro. I hope that new offscreen code helps in this.

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Thanks, and it definitely will.

[xViRuZsx]

HD NAO;.

[BlackAndWhite9999]

AIM PLZ

And I can't put it in HD unless I render it in a certain resolution. That's what HD means, numnuts.

[xViRuZsx]

I know, I put that to remind you to put it on the upcoming videos.

[BlackAndWhite9999]

That's a bad idea, mostly because for one thing it'll take longER for me to render (took forever), and also since the source video is in 480p, if I render it in HD, there'll be pretty much no difference in resolution.

[xViRuZsx]

Hadle, Hadle, Hadle, It took me 20 minutes to Render my HD video. :D

[BlackAndWhite9999]

How long was it? How many files did you use in it? What resolution? All these factors go into it.

[xViRuZsx]

Well, I know yours is longer, and idk the file nor the Resolution since i used WMM

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Oh, and for anyone who recoginzes the music during the last scene:

WHERE IS YOUR DATA?! WHERE IS IT SAVED?!?!

[DaBiggieK]

Pretty cool stuff man, you worked this out pretty well. Can't wait to see how Episode 2 turns out.

[carlvincarlvin]

wat was the original song dat was supposed 2 be in da begginin

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Prelude 12/21 by AFI.

[YouNeedMeJackie]

So I've been replaced?

[BlackAndWhite9999]

No, it's still you. I just put the wrong name. I'll be careful of that next time. ShifuAD, right?

[YouNeedMeJackie]

No, that's not me. o.o

I think I originally auditioned for you on Shilling Entertainment as LordxOfxInsanity.

[BlackAndWhite9999]

What the fuck? This is really confusing me. The username "YouNeedMeJackie" said "I will play Ganon." The lines for Ganon were sent in to me, I liked it, and I pitchshifted them. I remember you told me you were sick when you did the lines.

Google search "shillingentertainment view topic downfall".

[YouNeedMeJackie]

It may have been YouNeedMeJackie instead of LordxOfxInsanity, they're both usernames I use alot, but I know ShifuAD isn't me.

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Okay, which name do you want me to do?

[YouNeedMeJackie]

Just go with this one for right now.

[BlackAndWhite9999]

YouNeedMeJackie?

[YouNeedMeJackie]

Aye.

[xViRuZsx]

Oh and you forgot to put the website on the video.

Tehawesomesauce . blogspot . com? O_O

[BlackAndWhite9999]

I was going to do that, but I was going to write a small 10-second music piece to back it up, and inspiration didn't hit by the time I decided I wanted this up, so I was just like "fuck it".

[xViRuZsx]

1 thing, Ending credit song goes NOTHING with the dramatic ending.

[BlackAndWhite9999]

But it's awesome.

[xViRuZsx]

Not Really,, LOL, I see what you did thar in the TAGS. You made fun of me because I put "PRODUCTIONS" on that picture last year. >__>

Lol

[BlackAndWhite9999]

...what?

[xViRuZsx]

Nub, You dont remember the banner I made? It said "TehAwesomeSauce Production[-S-]? You laughed at the fact that I put an S and you did it in your Tags. Nub.

[BlackAndWhite9999]

...That wasn't why I laughed. It was because it said "Darkest Days Teh Awesome Sauce Call of Duty 4 Productions". Worst sentence structure ever.

AIM plz.

[xViRuZsx]

No Neeb. You SPECIFICALLY told me "LULZ, PRODUCTION[S]?!?!"

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Whatever.

Your mastery of the English language knows no bounds.

[xViRuZsx]

Burp.

[BlackAndWhite9999]

You're not right in the head.

[ShadowFrost09]

LOVE IT!!! SUBBING!! YOUR AWSOME!!

[megablueblaster]

Very impressive ^-^. The only bad thing i have to say about this are snakes line in the very beginning, and bowser's one line. I cant hear them clearly.

[megablueblaster]

Other than that, it was gerat! good job :p

[BlackAndWhite9999]

*salivates that Mega commented AND subbed*

Thanks so much, and yeah, clarity was really an issue because I was going overboard smoothing out lines to eliminate background noise, but they ended up sounding bad. Thanks though!

[DarkCrusaderFilms]

Very nice job. Where do you get all of your music?

[BlackAndWhite9999]

The albums I got music from in this episode are: Metal Gear Solid 4 OST, Metroid Prime 3 OST, Doctor Who Series 3 OST, Metal Gear Solid OST, SSBB Lost Tracks.

[Tigura21]

Wow, this is pretty cool and much impressive this being your very first machinima; blows my first attempt out of the water 100 times! While there's not quite much to do with those nearly unavoidable off-camera character circles, you should be careful not to show a stage's negative background space from the foreground in certain camera angles. Otherwise, this is very good; can't wait to see more! :)

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Thanks a lot, and yeah, I'll definitely make sure I don't show the other side of the sky in Episode 2 on.

[warob2000]

This is well done, I must say. But it's a bit unsightly to show the blacked areas on Custom Stages and the circles that appear in Game-Camera.

[ShockyD]

Dude, nice work. I'm happy to see this is out! You did great work with the presentation and camera work! Can't wait for the next part! :)

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Thanks a lot, and thanks for agreeing to voice Wolf!

[Juu50x]

Just amazing. Music. DAMN! Just nice. Looking forward the next episode :D

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Thanks, man. And thanks for voicing Bowser.

[CrazyFire757]

That was awesome.

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Thanks a bunches. ;)

[AaronAeacher1988]

Shock Dingo ftw

[BlackAndWhite9999]

You bet. I'm so glad he agreed to do the role.

[wowIrmie]

Nice job! Can't wait to see episode 2.

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Thanks a lot for voicing Samus! ;)

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Oops...I didn't render the entire credits.

[BlackAndWhite9999]

High quality version is up.

[sonicnextgenx]

That was pretty good. Can't for episode 2.

[Thunderhawk96]

wow, this is REALLY good. Who does your snake voice? I couldn't find it in the video.
