Emperor of Evil Episode 21 - Sims 3 Machinima Series

[VampirePrincess4jc]

i really wonder what would happen if isabel (however u spell it) knew what his "nocturnal walks" included *lil evil smile* that would get interesting real fast

[SSMusicProductions]

@VampirePrincess4jc Indeed, I think Isabel would be more than a little surprised, although maybe she knows more than she's revealing.

[VampirePrincess4jc]

@SSMusicProductions true, she dosent appear totally clueless, i think she knows theres something up with alex, i know if alex was asking me questions like that i would b more than a lil suspisious, i would probably flat out ask him if he was a serial killer, but maybe thats cause i dont like 2 beat around the bush sometimes, lol

[AlexSilent146]

Farting Bill is so funny!! xDD

[SSMusicProductions]

@AlexSilent146 lol thanks :)

[TheShadowOfDarknes]

Why are your videos so awesome?

[SSMusicProductions]

@TheShadowOfDarknes Thanks :) It's so awesome you're enjoying the series. Certain scenes can be really tough to make as the game engine is a bit limited, but improvisation, devious camera work and editing can help get around this.

[TrinnyMinny]

@SSMusicProductions Im really enjoying your series as well :) Been watching them for couple days now when i have spare time. Its very intriquing ;) Anyway im currently studing art & animatory and boy have i got stuff to learn from you ;) Am also a massive Sims 3 fan :D Brilliant brilliant series! (Y)

[SSMusicProductions]

@TrinnyMinny Thanks :) It's awesome you're studying art and animation, that must be really interesting and fun. And thanks :) Glad you're enjoying the series.

[Maeveypoo99]

Where did Elisa go?

[SSMusicProductions]

@Maeveypoo99 Alyssa is still around and will be making an appearance soon.

[Starsimmer1999]

I loved the fart Lol. This is so good. You're brillant!

[SSMusicProductions]

@Starsimmer1999 Mwahaha thanks :) It's awesome you found it funny.

[devine3111]

My farts are truly musiccal...

OMFG UR FUUNNIII

[SSMusicProductions]

@devine3111 Thanks :) I love humor and like to use it at times in the series. Glad you find it funny.

[devine3111]

OMFG NEED #22!!!! AAHHH!!!!

[SSMusicProductions]

@devine3111 Ep 22 has now been released :)

[MsShadowside]

your editing and camrea movements are getting better and better this is my fav episode keep it going :)

[SSMusicProductions]

@MsShadowside Thanks :) It's so cool you're enjoying the series. Ep 22 will be uploaded soon.

[TheGIRLwhoPOONEDyou]

You're camera panning is so fluid! How do you do it?! Please, I wanna make a Sims 3 series but need more help with filming :(

[SSMusicProductions]

@TheGIRLwhoPOONEDyou I usually use the Director's camera and set up positions using CTRL plus any number from 5 to 9, so when I press the right number the camera moves to the corresponding position. I've also heavily tweaked the videocameria.ini file, and increased the Lerpduration. This is the time it takes for the camera to move from point A to point B. Hope that helps :)

[stevensjobs]

@SSMusicProductions How do you find the time to do all this! Im so amazed.

[SSMusicProductions]

@stevensjobs It's difficult trying to fit everything in but I'm an insomniac which helps, lol. 

[TheGIRLwhoPOONEDyou]

@SSMusicProductions

It DOES! Thank you very much :) Just one more question if you don't mind. How do you access the videocamera.ini file... Please and thank you! :D

[ImTheMonkeyMadness]

can't wait for ep 22 even for the rest of the series

[ImTheMonkeyMadness]

when will you be making more of these videos i absolutely love them.

[SSMusicProductions]

@ImTheMonkeyMadness Thanks :) I've finished the script for ep 22 so will be filming once the VA has been done. I'm hoping to have the episode completed sometime next week :)

[naturallysweettv]

wow only 500 some views? this was great! & i havent even seen previous episodes this is my first video from u that i've seen haha gotta catch up!

[SSMusicProductions]

@naturallysweettv Hi and thanks :) It's so cool you enjoyed this episode. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series :)

[MrsSimGal]

Just watched all of the series. You are very talented! I love watching. I can't wait for the next one! :-D Thanks for making them.

[SSMusicProductions]

@MrsSimGal Thanks :) And thanks for watching :) It's so awesome that's you're enjoying the series. I really appreciate it :) Episode 22 will be in production soon, and hopefully released at the end of the month.

[littlemisssims2lover]

yes and its VERY intersting! I love the way Isabelle has no idea hes a killer when its so like right in front of her! What happened to his child in the SIFF? Will he ever see the queen's tomb or something from SIFF? It was really the end I mostly enjoyed and the middle. Any way how do you do the red things at the beginning? You are VERY talented!

[SSMusicProductions]

@littlemisssims2lover Thanks :) Isabel is in a strange dilemma I agree, to observers it's obvious he is a killer, but when someone is close to another person they are often blinded to the truth. Isabel suspects something isn't quite right though, and maybe she does know and is hiding this. Nexus from SIFF is a prequel, so it's all relevant to the story, which will unfold slowly. I work a 45 min TV show pace, with 4 eps making up one TV ep so in reality the series is only on episode 6 now lol.

[SSMusicProductions]

@littlemisssims2lover The red effect on some of the footage? I made them using a glow effect in Vegas, and making it red. Hope that helps :)

[littlemisssims2lover]

No it's just I only watched like a couple seconds of it cause my computer is always crazy, so now I watched all and I LOVE it! Mostly the end!

[SSMusicProductions]

@littlemisssims2lover Sorry your computer was misbehaving. Glad it''s working now though :) And I'm so glad you enjoyed the episode and the ending :) It's often tough trying to make the series exactly how I have in mind due to the game engine limitations, and not enough time lol, so I often have to improvise or compromise.

[hobo0077]

best one yet

[SSMusicProductions]

@hobo0077 Thanks :)

[finallywoman18]

Okay I finally made through all the episodes! I'm in love with it! Now I have to get my friend hooked on to this series. I know he'd love it.

[SSMusicProductions]

@finallywoman18 Awesome :) It's so cool you're enjoying the series. It's definitely fun to make.

[sbrando6]

I love this series, and he is getting closer to meeting his dad. i can't wait for the next episode. You are soooo talented. Emperior of Evil is by far the best machinima on you tube.

[SSMusicProductions]

@sbrando6 Thanks :) I really appreciate your support :) The next few episodes are gonna be intense.

[missGordana100]

Amazing episode! I enjoyed it very much.Bill-what a character!You gotta love him.[lol]Sorry for commenting this late SS,i had a problem with my computer.Looking forward to seeing next episode.

[SSMusicProductions]

@missGordana100 Thanks :) Glad your computer problems are sorted. Bill is one of my favorite characters too, he's always so much fun to write :)

[littlemisssims2lover]

honestly y\I think you could have done better! Like something REALLY intersting! And can you check the video because everytime I try to watch it its stopping at like 9:50

[SSMusicProductions]

@littlemisssims2lover The series takes a lot of work and time which I don't have. School is intense as is my social life. I don't have weeks to work on an episode, only a few hours to get it all done, so it isn't gonna be that awesome. Maybe I should stop working on the series and use what limited free time I have for other pursuits. Incidentally I checked the video and it's fine and plays all the way through. Maybe your Net connection is misbehaving.

[BlackVioletMoon]

@littlemisssims2lover Oh really? If you think you can do better by all means show the world. SS works his ass off for the show, that's with school, other activities, meetings, and regular social evenings. And he's a straight A student too. I'm impressed with his dedication. He works bloody hard. Voicing an opinion is great and actively encouraged. Offering no useful advice or feedback isn't so great.

[bzanna]

@littlemisssims2lover I can't see how you don't find ep 21 interesting; you give no real feedback to support your statement. Alot of work, talent and dedication goes into his series and it's a shame you don't appreciate that. This is an awesome episode; the begining is intense and his cam work and effects are amazing. The humor near the end is enough to crack a rib and the ending leaves the viewer in suspense. What more could you ask for? I know I'll always be a fan.

[rraacchh2]

Intriguing story. I love how the main character has committed all these crimes, but at the same time, you can't actually dislike him. All the characters in this series are so interesting. I'm hoping you'll show more of Alyssa later though. I like her a lot more than Isabel...No offense, but she's kind of stupid not to realize that Alex is a killer.

[SSMusicProductions]

@rraacchh2 Thanks :) I was hoping that even though the main character is a serial killer, he would be a likable character. I plan to have Alyssa in the series more later on, definitely. Isabel doesn't have any clear indication that Alex is a killer, most people assume friends are joking about these things, although he hasn't actually admitted it. Or maybe she does know but hasn't confronted him about this. Or maybe she doesn't want to believe this if she does indeed suspect. It's a dilemma.

[Trancerocker08]

Awww hopefully he will meet his father next time... *nudge nudge* lol Voted up!

[SSMusicProductions]

@Trancerocker08 Thanks :) Maybe he will, then again....

[2007sahara2007]

Well, he's nice, isn't him? lol Hey what happened with that other goth-girl-who's-really-a-detec­tive person? I want to see more of her. I mean, personaly, I find Isabelle really annoying, so I like the other chick better.

Loved the episode. Keep it up, it's brilliant! :D

[SSMusicProductions]

@2007sahara2007 lol, he is a killer after all ;) Alyssa hasn't been in the story as much as I want as I got distracted by Egypt and WA. I plan to re-introduce her fairly soon, although I'm not sure the original voice actress is able to continue this role. I'm curious, why do you find Isabel so annoying?

[2007sahara2007]

@SSMusicProductions Hmm...well, to tell you the truth, I actually don't know why I dislike her. I just ramdomly dislike characters sometimes, but when (or if) I can think of a specific reason, I'll let you know, lol! For now, all you need to know is that I love the series!!! It's awesome.

[SSMusicProductions]

@2007sahara2007 lol. Glad you're enjoying the series :)

[lacettichristie]

wow...I was like O= all the time!! amazing!

[SSMusicProductions]

@lacettichristie Thanks :) Glad you enjoyed the episode :)

[WitchesProductions1]

One word for the whole video: Brilliant :)

I like how everything is well put together, and ur effects are right now spot. Amazing work once again! Im glad i waited

[SSMusicProductions]

@WitchesProductions1 Thanks :) I really missed working on the series and wanted to do something extra special for this episode. I'm glad you waited too, and that you enjoyed it :)

[IdaNoReally]

Great job, very cool EP. Anton is so close. I thought they would meet this time. Ah maybe next time. Music was excellent!!! Bill was so funny this time--loved that part.

[SSMusicProductions]

@IdaNoReally Thanks Ida :) A meeting between them is almost imminent. It's cool you liked the music. It took a while to find the right pieces, but there are some truly awesome Royalty free compositions around. The Bill scene cracked me up bigtime when I was editing it. Both the characters did some amazing stuff like facial expressions without me even making them do them. The AI can be scary at times lol.

[Locasimsmom2]

Yeah,,lovedddd ittt..bill was funny, can't wait for the next one.

[SSMusicProductions]

@Locasimsmom2 Thanks :) Glad you found Bill funny :)

[SuperBabygirl130]

WOW THAT WASS GREAT!u just made anither one of ur masterpieces!i luvved it but im sure my opinion isnt wats important her,u are.U have quite the talent and cant wait for ur next episode.May i just say that bill was soo funny in this episode"not even a damn email"and "i can fart to u in b minor"ROFL!oh and the love scene even had me blushing!wow!ANd also at the begininig iwas biting my finger nails like "Are they gonna meet"i had chills!BRAVO!BRILLIENT!let me stop here before this becomes weirdXD

[SSMusicProductions]

@SuperBabygirl130 Awesome and thanks :) It's so cool you enjoyed the episode. It was definitely fun to make.

[Teeheelalahe123]

Wow! This is really brilliant! The effects, the music, the voicing... When Anton spoke I got the chills. The entire concept is interesting, with the whole serial-killer being a quirky yet disturbed kid who can't help himself, but with everything added to it, it just comes out awesome!

Wow at 4:47 ... Way to go Bill!

Just out of wondering though, how many voice actors do you use?

[SSMusicProductions]

@Teeheelalahe123 Thanks :) Glad you liked it and the concept of the story. And yeah, Bill seems to have a rather telling expression on his face, lol. For voice actors, there are just two of us, myself and a good friend of mine. We're both fairly experienced performers, and can imitate different accents and voices, although we're gonna run out of voices eventually, lol. Sometimes audio processing helps too, like pitch shifting.

[MultiMissBlue]

i love the quality!!! it throws u right into the story!!! cant wait for the next epi!!

[SSMusicProductions]

@MultiMissBlue Thanks :) Episode 22 should be hopefully be done in around 2 weeks.

[sylentwhysper]

Great episode! Anton is killing me with his hesitancy to meet up with his son. I believe that Alex needs his father's guidance and support at this time. Alex is in a state of confusion and really needs a lifeline. Then again, I guess Alex needs to learn a few lessons on his own. I don't think Isabel would freak if she learned the truth. Plus, she already suspects certain things are strange about Alex. LOL. I was not expecting the snart.  Hehe. Looking forward to the next. :)

[SSMusicProductions]

@sylentwhysper Thanks :) Alex does need his father's guidance, but Anton is reluctant to interfere at present. Alex is scared of telling Isabel because of the possibility she will freak, most people would but Isabel is more observant than she makes out to be, and knows something isn't quite right. The snart was a fun scene to make. All sound FX used in that scene were genuine SS Production sounds, lol. If ya listen carefully you'll hear snickering after one of the sneezes, lol.

[avanguline]

Fantastic as usual! I actually squealed when I saw this in my Sub box. You really have a talent for this. Keep it up. You're absolutely amazing!

[SSMusicProductions]

@avanguline Thanks :) Glad you enjoyed the episode :)

[RockyxSakura]

oh dear...the evil cop is back o.o

[SSMusicProductions]

@RockyxSakura He is indeed, mwahahaha.

[aprettyfacevampire]

musical farts...??? that sounds quite funny.... ^-^

[SSMusicProductions]

@aprettyfacevampire Hehe ^-^ I have a few fun things planned for a future episode, mwahaha.

[ThePrinceDG]

LOOOOOOL :O Can't wait for the next part... your videos are so addictive! :O

" I can Fart you a Symphony" hahaha :))

[SSMusicProductions]

@ThePrinceDG Thanks :) Glad you are enjoying the series, and the humor. It's definitely fun to make.

[SuniCorp]

You have no idea how I reacted when I saw my subscription updates today.

Such a long wait but sooooo worth it! This was so well done. The camera movements, voices, script, and editing was superb.

Aaaand the Ramsbottoms are gone. Finally. Good use of the blood overlays :)

Anton & Alex...so close yet so far. It freakin' killed me the entire time...argh so tortuous.

So much is one episode! It was great and well-worth the wait.

One more thing: Bill = Comic Relief to epic proportions :)

[SSMusicProductions]

@SuniCorp Awesome :) I wanted to do something special after the long wait. It was so much fun working on this episode. Glad you enjoyed the humor too :) I was cracking up so much when editing that scene that I kept getting strange looks, lol.

[katiaprotectorGW]

he almost met his father! D: so close,great episode though,cant  wait for the next one!

[SSMusicProductions]

@katiaprotectorGW Thanks :) When Alex and his father eventually meet that will be a fun scene to write, probably really intense too.

[ThePogomojo88]

sneeze fart!!

[SSMusicProductions]

@ThePogomojo88  lol, indeed.

[389lou]

You proved another time that your videos are worth the wait ^^

I love the effects you used and how you are transforming a simple game into a film. Your technique is improving well done :D

Can't wait for your next part.

Brilliant ^^

[SSMusicProductions]

@389lou Thanks :) The game engine is quite limited so I have to improvise quite often. It's so awesome you compared it to a movie. I try to make it as cinematic as possible, like a movie in style. The new expansions should help with this, I still haven't installed Ambitions yet, lol.

[Anches100]

It´s soo great your new episode, the effects are so awasome and the original pictures in the pyramid, wow! Love the Egypt atmosphere. Your camera work is really wonderful and the music fits perfect.

Love your great work and can´t wait for the next episode:)

[SSMusicProductions]

@Anches100 Thanks :) I really wanted to capture the mystery and atmosphere of Egypt. It was a fun episode to make.

[SilvAndJProductions]

Awesome! Great use of effects, love the music, your camera work and editing. It's so cool how you can draw the audiance into Alex's mind. Very inspiring, keep up the awesome work.

[SSMusicProductions]

@SilvAndJProductions Thanks :) It's so cool you're enjoying the series. It's awesome you like the choice of music, sometimes it can be tough finding the right piece for a scene, but there's so many awesome composers around, and their music is Royalty free.

[ThePogomojo88]

yaaaay its back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SSMusicProductions]

@ThePogomojo88 Thanks :) It was definitely fun to make.

[wikkidvampyre]

Omg I missed this so much I was just waitin a di wake up this morning and here it is lol.

[SSMusicProductions]

@wikkidvampyre Thanks :) I appreciate your patience and support. I'll be back to my usual release schedule of 2-3 weeks per episode :)

[TitusLinde]

Wonderful surprise this morning :) Your next episode !

Like the changing between father and son at the beginning very much and it was great to hear his voice. At 1:30 wow... the blood... it looks so real!

Your camera work is so amazing and the sounds fits very well.

Thanks for the next Part... like your series so much :)

[SSMusicProductions]

@TitusLinde Thanks :) I'm so glad you enjoyed the episode. I use overlays for the blood which can look scarily realistic at times.

[sis21721]

awsome thank you, cant wait for the next episode :)

[SSMusicProductions]

@sis21721 Thanks :) I'm back to my normal 2-3 week release schedule.

[bzanna]

This is so awesome, SS! Brilliant, amazing editing and effects during the beginning. Your cam angles and movements along with the music are perfectly fitting with each scene and the whole mood... I was completely absorbed in every movement and symbol. Amazing work!

Now for the humor... LMAO!!! :D That is so fitting for Bill to snart, lol. And his comments about it is classic! ;) I can't stop laughing :P

[SSMusicProductions]

@bzanna Awesome :) I'm really glad you liked it. It was definitely a fun one to make. It's so cool you enjoyed the humor :)

[kevin6004]

YAYYY!!! ANOTHER AMAZING PIECE OF ART!!! great jobz!!

[SSMusicProductions]

@kevin6004 Thanks :)

[julietadivabear]

wow! I've been waiting for this forever!! I love this series!!!

[SSMusicProductions]

@julietadivabear Thanks :) I'd forgotten how much fun making the series is. I really appreciate your patience and support :)
