City of Heroes - Incarnate

[Fireblood94]

For one reason why i stopped playing is only because they kinda messed up the game with the Action Entertainment thing is Atlas Park. Thats why i stopped playing. I had a hero lvl 50 and i was working on a villain when the AE came out. After that i make an account to play WoW. Both games are fun but now AE in CoH and CoV kinda ruined it for me sorry guys. I come back sometimes but most i play is Wold of Warcraft.

[pshalleck]

The whole "And here comes number twenty!" video description made me go, "Wait, how did I miss the Issue 20 video?" Then I saw the date. How is this possible!?

[OriginalLemming]

AMAZING!

I love your videos, Samuraiko.

[KitsuneNights]

man looking back at this it's almost like "Did she see this coming?" >.> okay Samuraiko! Who are you really >.> Don't lie, your cape is showing!

[samuraiko]

@KitsuneNights I'm not really a dev, I just play one on TV.

[KitsuneNights]

@samuraiko Dev? I was thinking something along the lines of super powered human with the power to see into the future and more, you know something a little more powerful then a Dev.....just don't tell them i said that >.>!

[jergsden]

The Well must be shaped like something naughty because there's a black bar hiding it. ^_^

[Energyone]

...and now, it's my turn. Alpha slot here I come.

[angryellow313]

Sweet

[DavidRodriguezjr]

I had not seen this one, WOW! great Job!!

[Anwynne]

Great work!

[greendragonable]

Nice job with the shadow of lord recluse.

[nham666]

harry potter trailer songs :D, me lieks

[samuraiko]

@nham666 Hey, I used the song BEFORE HP did. :D Rumor has it when quite a few COH players saw the HP trailer, they went, "Wait, where have we heard this before?"

[kenporich2006]

Great job. 

[tzmakis]

ΕΝΣΑΡΚΩΜΕΝΟΣ Greek FTW :P

[samuraiko]

@tzmakis It's the little details that make it. :)

[tzmakis]

@samuraiko haha always. btw 10000/5 for the vid :P

[3l3m3ntic3]

Oh my...that is the best CoX movie ever. VERY nice job! 5 stars

[TheSuperRatz]

Nice Job Like always

[TheSwamper]

WOW! As a longtime vet of CoH, I'm blown away by this. Excellent job!

[AncientSlugThrower]

You deserve a job a NCSoft, thanks for helping make this community as fantastic as it is.

[mattwo7]

sort but epic

[MrMason109]

"We've become Gods, Marcus. Hmhahaha!"

That line, along with the fade-in of Recluse over Stefan sends the most epic kind of chills up and down my spine every time. Fantastic work Samuraiko!

[samuraiko]

That was the very effect I was trying for. And John (my husband) had a blast voicing Recluse. :) Thanks!

[DroozyBoogy]

...Awesome videos, I really like them!

...Virtue = #1.

[samuraiko]

Thanks... but my heart belongs to Justice. :)

[RIPprocductioons]

very good job.. very nice

[samuraiko]

Thank you! :)

[RIPprocductioons]

welcome :)

[crywaffles]

wow you did a freaking rad job xD

[samuraiko]

Thanks very much! :D

[samuraiko]

Thank you! :D

[iamhewolf]

This is awesome... simply amazing.

Excellent work Michelle!

-iamhewolf aka Dolphin

[toadshaw91]

i can't stop watching this over and over, its too freakin' amazing!

[samuraiko]

I'm glad you like it! (Feel free to show others - it's always good to spread the word about the coolness that is COH.)

[toadshaw91]

i gotta ask ya, do you play US servers or EU servers?

[samuraiko]

US servers - primarily Justice, Triumph, Liberty, and Freedom.

[toadshaw91]

since i just reactivated my US account it would be awesome to see your heroes (or villains :P) on the justice server! XD

[samuraiko]

I'm easy enough to find... just look for the Star Patrol heroside or the Nova Dominion villainside and I'll probably be raising hell with either group!

[ThouAncient]

no virtue :( ... Justice works though

[toadshaw91]

that... sent chills down my spine... absolutely amazing, shows the exact story of how they found the well and thus plunged the world into a new era! fantastic!

[samuraiko]

Thank you very much! :)

[peanutbutterbo]

That was an awesome video. is that going to be an expansion pack for the game?

[samuraiko]

Thank you! As of now, no - this was more to celebrate the birth of the modern origins, although I hope it spurs the Powers That Be into making the Incarnate origin available to us! :)

[TrickstaJT]

I hope they don't make an Incarnate AT

Don't get me wrong I would love to get awesome powers like Zeus Lightning bolt but if they release all of those type of powers: I think it would just ruin the game.

[TrickstaJT]

By AT I mean Origin. Surely if they release Incarnate they will create many new power sets.

[avatarbloodspeaker]

@peanutbutterbo Though we laughed when we heard that Issue 19 was going to be "Incarnates". We certainly called THAT one early. :)

[chiggz]

Soooo Good Samuraiko, as always :D Wish they'd introduce real Incarnates thou :P Would also love to see you do a full length 'movie' if at all possible. I know I know a whole lotta work an such, Anywoooo Cheers :)

-Cirkuit

[samuraiko]

Thanks! And yes, I am actually scripting a full length 'movie'. :)

[chiggz]

Haaawt Damn, well let me know when the 1st screenings are!!!! Love to see it once your down samuraiko, You have a skill very few are lucky to have and make good use of it!! Keep on Keeping on!! Cheers :D

[6661313]

i want to see that full length movie !! (didnt realize i saw this vid before till i started going through all your stuff lol :D great job on everything

[eatabullet]

Ok I think I have to be the one to say it. Why haven't they made a CoH movie based on this? And why haven't they contacted you to help make it? Every time i see this I think that this would make an awesome movie trailer. If I find out they are going to make one I'm pushing for you to make it. This is just awesome.

[samuraiko]

Well, Michael Bay of 'Transformers' fame has the rights to make a CoH film, it's just stuck in development hell. As for me making the trailer, I would absolutely LOVE to do it, but they'd probably go with a professional firm (wouldn't stop me making my own, though). But thank you very much for the compliment!

[ShoRyu2004]

Your video's are always fun to watch but this one will always be my favorite.

[samuraiko]

Thanks. :)

[trufriend1228]

Very great video!

[samuraiko]

Thanks!

[puppetsarenottoys]

That was AWESOME!

[samuraiko]

Thank you very much!

[Smartass1995]

I've said it before ill say it again, Once again, great Video, this one is my fav.....

[samuraiko]

Thanks! :)

[skyeflare]

This is absolutely incredible, I wish I knew how to do something like this.

[samuraiko]

First, watch my six-part YouTube series on my HeroCon 2008 presentation on CoH machinima. Second, LOTS AND LOTS OF PRACTICE. And I'm glad you enjoy my work.

[skyeflare]

I'll be sure to look into them.

[Dune14111]

That was.........AWESOMEEEE!!!!!!!!­!

[samuraiko]

Thanks very much!

[kowz20]

WOW that was GREAT!! i loved it so awesome.

[samuraiko]

Thank you!

[gamejunky741]

what were the three women saying when the box was opened i couldnt understand them talking all at once

[samuraiko]

What they are saying is, 'A new age of mortals is about to begin.'

[xero744]

funny thing is my real name is stefan lol i was like fuck ya!!!

[samuraiko]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D

[jerryfos785]

Great Vid!!

[samuraiko]

[TheForceAgainst]

[torylva]

THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK xD (no i am serious)

[samuraiko]

Thank you very much!

[insanezane1200]

nevermind i found it haha

[insanezane1200]

I can't find any kind of link. please explain.

[insanezane1200]

What did you use to make the video?

was it FRAPS? or what?

please let me know. Thanks

[samuraiko]

For more on how I make my videos, visit my website (link in my profile), click on MULTIMEDIA, and then on TOONS ON FILM.

[DyckmanCity]

what are does things going around?

[samuraiko]

When they open the box? In-game, it's Ghost Widow's Soul Storm attack (you get hit by the souls of her previous victims). In this video, I used them as the powers contained in Pandora's Box and released when they opened it.

[DetroitLife30]

do you play coh

[samuraiko]

Only on TV.

[Detroitrapvideos]

is this a real issue to coh?

[samuraiko]

No - it was a tribute to an event on the in-game timeline, and my own prod to the devs to make Incarnates available to us. :)

[sypher889]

how are incarnates available to us ? :)

[samuraiko]

At the moment, they're not.  I keep hoping they will be.

[sypher889]

aye it will be amazing if they do, btw very good movie, ur talented, and do u play on the us servers or uk servers?

[samuraiko]

Thanks very much - I play on the US servers.

[megamaxie]

EPIC the person who plays Lord Recluse sounds a tad like Marcus Phoenix from gears

[samuraiko]

The person voicing Recluse is my husband, John, who does not voice Marcus Phoenix. :) But thanks!

[megamaxie]

lol you're welcome =]

[ChrisDanger2000]

The origin of Statesman and Lord Recluse... one word: EPIC!

[samuraiko]

Thanks!

[RialVestro]

Please tell me there's more to this?

[samuraiko]

There's more to this. :)

[AkuTenshiiZero]

That was the very definition of Epic...

Major compliments on the editing, and to the voice actor for Recluse. He definitely fit my mental image.

[samuraiko]

Thank you very much! :) And I will tell John that you liked him as Recluse - he had a blast recording him.

[JakePelka]

Ah ha! I figured it out! The pink swirly things is Ghost Widow's Soul Storm, correct?

[samuraiko]

Yes - with a few filters applied through Sony Vegas. :)

[UnboundVolts]

unbelivable!

[samuraiko]

I hope that's in a good way...

[UnboundVolts]

oh yes, excellent work!

[samuraiko]

Thanks! :)

[AceJoeyBling]

what music is with this

[samuraiko]

'Anticipation' and 'Progeny', by Brand X Music.

[Cybalt]

Great job. I love at 1:41 when the spider Silhouette appears :D

[samuraiko]

That was one of my last-second ideas, and I LOVED how it turned out. Glad you enjoyed it!

[deathlyhallowz]

Great video, where did you get the track "Anticipation"??

[samuraiko]

Thank you. As for the music, went through Brand X Music's website.

[deathlyhallowz]

Can you download the from there? i really need apparition :)

[mykebim2003]

So, when are they gonna call you to work on the movie?

Torroes Prime

[samuraiko]

Right about the time that NCSoft hires me, which is scheduled concurrently for the freezing over of hell.

[mykebim2003]

hmm, lemme give my friend's Odin and Jack Frost a call. They owe me a favor or two...

[samuraiko]

Don't I wish, my friend... don't I wish. *unhappy sigh*

[mykebim2003]

*Evil makes-devil-run-and-hide-in-te­rror smile*

I don't wish. I make

[samuraiko]

If you can, by all means. Twice I've tried, twice I've failed.

[blueshelly20]

Actually got a chill in that final sequence, well done!

[samuraiko]

Thank you! :)

[Frogmjf]

Im just understanding a bit by recording a demofile and then observing it with zloth's demo editor.. is still understand where everyhting fits and what not but its just the fact of learning all the commands for the code

[Frogmjf]

this is epic! How did you film all the effects and what not?

[samuraiko]

It took a lot of work creating the /democode to get all the in-game effects I wanted, then I used Sony Vegas Movie Studio to add the film effects (like the metallic effect when they opened Pandora's box). I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[Frogmjf]

i am familiar with editing the footage but how exactly did you get all the effects?is there a resource that you can link me to to get me started? this is pretty much what I wanted to do when I first started playing CoH... I wanted to make some machinima of the game

[samuraiko]

Actually, if you wait about a week or so, I will be posting online the packet of information I'm putting together for my presentation at HeroCon (yes, I am doing a workshop on how to make CoX machinima!) - there'll be a LOT of info there for you to use.

[Frogmjf]

well thanks! I guess I can wait the week... Your not keeping it only to HeroCon right? because I would love to attend heroCon but it is just too far away... Im all the way in New Jersey so yeah... Thanks!

[samuraiko]

Nope - that's why you have to wait - once the 'con is over, I will be posting the packet online for others to download, and I MIGHT even be recording the workshop to be posted on here as a series! :D

[Frogmjf]

wooo! Thanks so much! I cannot wait to start creating such beautiful works like this!

[drewlpuddle]

That was amazing. =)

[samuraiko]

Thank you very much!

[Madelineblooddoll]

This is a good video, better than anything cryptic/nc has done. Hopefully when they do add the incarnate content, they call that issue 0.

[samuraiko]

The funny thing is, when they found out I'd originally called this video "Issue 0: Incarnate", they asked me if I'd mind changing it to just "Incarnate". By then I'd uploaded this version, so I couldn't remove it, but I did make the change. Maybe they have something planned... who knows?

[mecampbellesq]

Dang, could this have gotten any more perfect?

[samuraiko]

Thank you VERY much for the compliment. :D

[CharlieWeewax]

What kind of fees do Brand X charge for music on non-profit type videos like these?

[samuraiko]

Erm... no idea.

[coolfakeno]

that was simply unbelievable

you pretty much need an award for that no doubt

very good job

[samuraiko]

Nope, no awards for me... but thank you very much for the compliment!

[JakePelka]

Are you gonna make a new video when I13 comes out?

[samuraiko]

You betcha! :D  A teaser beforehand to get you guys ready, and a full on trailer when the issue goes live!

[JakePelka]

Global: @Pelka

I mainly play as Progressman on the Virtue server. >_>'

[x3r9g6]

Did you submit that in the matrix machinima contest?

[samuraiko]

No, because this video would not have been eligible - the #1 reason being that it uses music that's not from the game. The video I DID submit is also on my YouTube profile, called 'The Etiquette of Assassination.'

[DarkEye2007]

Awesome Vid im watching your Vids now for some time and their so great i always have my mouth go down XD.

[samuraiko]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy my work! Stay tuned, more videos on the way!

[orchal081179]

Awesome!! O_O

[samuraiko]

Thanks!

[noirbear]

Your videos are SOOOOOOOOOO cool!

[samuraiko]

Thank you, I'm glad you think so! :) I try.

[katy66541]

AWSOME!!!!

BRILLIANT!!!

[samuraiko]

THANKS! AGAIN! :D

[Matuszok]

Oh my God....It was simply brilliant!

[samuraiko]

Thank you! :D

[samuraiko]

Thanks very much - I keep trying to raise the bar on my videos and it sounds like I'm succeeding! :D

[caradoc01]

I have only seen a couple of your videos in the past and I have to say each one gets better

[Numaman430]

that was truely amazing i hope that someday we can play as an Incarnate in a future issue =D

[samuraiko]

Thank you! You and me both...

[samuraiko]

Thank you very much for saying so! :)

[JakePelka]

So from what I know, Statesman and Recluse were once thieves and found this ancient power. They opened that box which granted all of mankind superpowers, and they were punished by being granted immortality and turning one of them into a being of absolute good and the other absoulute evil, thus forcing them to fight forever?

[samuraiko]

Not quite - they turned to a life of 'crime' because Marcus was dying of mustard gas poisoning, and needed the means to find a cure. They found the Fountain of Zeus, which cured them and made them near-gods, then opened Pandora's Box, the source of the Well's power, and created a new age of superheroes. Their capacities for good and evil? Well... we are what we are, whether gods or men. :)

[DarkDragon2010]

O.O I think I just wet myself...

Another great vid Samuraiko xD

[samuraiko]

Thanks very much! :D

[TranceRaver36]

Omg samuraiko this video was absolutely amazing lol I keep watching it cause its just so awesome

[samuraiko]

Thanks! I'm glad you like it so much!

[agony298]

AMAZING

[samuraiko]

Thank you! :)

[djsteeler69]

All I can say is WOW! another one going on my phone, so I can watch whenever I want :)

[samuraiko]

Now that's cool - someone who likes a vid of mine so much that it goes on their phone... thank you!

[Mythercaria]

Another fantastic video.

[samuraiko]

Thanks very much!

[JakePelka]

Shouldn't Stefan have had an accent of some kind? :P

[samuraiko]

Probably - but my husband didn't have a convenient Austrian accent to listen to and imitate.

[JakePelka]

This had better be some weird preview for I13!

Please devs? =[

[samuraiko]

No idea... or you could just accept it on its own merits.

[samuraiko]

Thank you very much!

[zilz0000]

WOW awesome as always :D

[jergsden]

The voices were dead on. Great voice casting.

[samuraiko]

:D Thank you - and I will pass the compliment on to the rest of the gang.

[Mythercaria]

Yep, I agree. The voices were fantastic.

[Pippincorn]

That was freaking awesome. I hope you keep making plenty more COHAV movies.

[samuraiko]

Thanks very much - I certainly intend to!
