It wasn't bad. J.C. is cool. He is one of the few people who still do it for the love of doing it. He deserves to have his music turned into great videos like this one.
Thank you. That's very kind to say. Spiff actually gave me the encouragement to finish this project which had been sitting around for about a year previously.
haha awesome vid! poor ponys.... and monekies :P i jsut have 1 questsion when i make my movies then they only last 20seconds how do i make them longer like yours?
Well, inside WoW I used the registered version of FRAPS for the capture, but most of my clips were not very long. To put clips together, you can use a program such as Microsoft's Movie Maker, iMovie, or Adobe Premiere Pro. Message me if you want to talk more about it.
Yeah the ending of Spiff's was really cool, and yours didn't have the girl the troll was singing to :(
But yours is better than the other video in a lot of ways, for example, I liked how you did the animations for the voices inside his head and yours didn't have any player names, which was good.
We both love this! we were expecting somthing a lot lower-quality (akin to most of the other WoW music vids here), but this is... I rate it over 9000. but without the shouting.
PS: we both got that the PoV was the person being sung to straight away. (does it have to be a girl?)
nice man i see what ya doing having the camera as the girl... i kinder harde to tell that but ya did a good job.... lol i though the troll was gay untill i read the comments
i like it, but i kinda like spiffs more. I got a suggestion though how about spiff does one song and u do another so every song done in half the time hopefully... :\
Not as a visible character, but she's supposed to be the point of view character in the video. Thus, the camera nodding up and down, the main character singing directly into the character, etc.
Love the video. Just to throw my opinion in, I think I like yours a bit more than spiff's (though don't get me wrong, they're both fantastic). I think spiff's video is a little too... violent or vicious for this song, while this one has the sweet, albeit quite deranged, feel I get from the song. Either way, I'd love to see you take on some other JoCo songs too.
No need to apologize. I have a lot of respect for Spiff's work, and he's done so many great videos. I generally point people to his stuff before my own. :-)
There's room for more than one JoCo WOW video maker. You and Spiff can see the same song differently, and both interpretations work well. By all means, keep it up.
If you have any specific suggestions about how mine could have been better, please PM me. I do respect Spiff's work, and he actually encouraged me to finish mine so we could release them simultaneously.
What's the connection between this guy's music and WoW? I like both but does he play or something? If so, what server? Now that's a guy i'd group with!
Partly it has to do with Blizzard being permissive about using their graphics for videos. Jonathan Coulton releases his music under a creative commons license that lets him reserve rights to it while allowing others to use it for other projects under certain conditions. If you tried to use his music with images from Shaun of the Dead or He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, the owners of those properties have the right to remove the video and/or sue you.
For this video I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a copy of the Adobe Creative Suite Production Studio. I used Adobe Premeire Pro and Adobe After Effects to help make the video. For my previous video, I used Microsoft's Movie Maker 2 which comes with XP. It's installed on the drive, but you have to look for it under Program Files and create your own shortcut.
Yep. I'd had a half-finished version (which I used almost none of), when Spiff told me he was working on one. So it got me moving and we finished close enough that we were able to release them simultaneously.
It was a lot of fun to do, and it was interesting to see how different our takes on it were.
Well done! for once, a WoW vid for Jonathan Coulton that rocks and (gasp) isnt made by Spiff! not that spiff doesnt do a good job, but you blew his out of the water with this one!
Actually, Spiff and I coordinated a simultaneous release on this one. We both had videos in the works for this independently and motivated each other to get them done.
Not a problem. Someone else also called mine "the second one", so I'd wanted to say something anyway. :-) Still pondering ideas for a new one. Thanks for the props.
Strangely enough I've been kicking around ideas for that one. Harder to do straight out of WoW with futuristic and space themes, but I'm going to see what Burning Crusade will bring.
