Cool storyline! The voices were also amazing, it really gives more life to a machinima. I'm currently doing animation actions for fight scenes and this has kind of inspired me to make one for magical battles. But you did great on getting the right reactions. It fits with the effects. Just wanna compliment! XD
@ausagi Awesome! I think you are doing an amazing job on your anims. Keep up the good work. :) Yeah, all these magic battles use all the anims from the game, lol. It was interesting to find the right ones. But it didn't turn out too bad. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated. :)
@Shiva88Fra Thanks Shiva! Glad you enjoyed it. Sorry bout the voices, it was my first time working with voice overs. The voices are better in part 2 and 3. :)
Lol, I've probably watched this a good five times so far. It's nice. I really love the fighting sequences. A lot better than I thought they might be having the machinima being of Sims. I especially like the flame emitting from the darkness when Orphis throws it. Too cool. Although I am unsure why you used a "hurt" sound effect. I figured you would have used the "Take...this!" XD. Wells, let me finish watching it for what...the sixth time now? ;)
@MegaMacTV Did I really use a 'hurt' sound effect? It sounded like a general grunt to me...LOL! It gets hectic in Sony Vegas during editing. There's so much happening in the timeline...I probably made many mistakes. Yeah, I agree that many people won't have any great expectations of a movie made with Sims but don't underestimate the imaginations and passion of Sims machinima directors! Some of us are insane. ;) Thanks for your awesome support, Mac.
Very cool effects! I can sense there will be a lot of machinima artists trying to use those soon. I'm about to start shooting a battle episode as well and wish I could use nice effects but I'll have to settle for EA effects. XP The voice acting is very well done and the characters are interesting. Great job!
@SimEve1 Thank you. Wish I could have had the patience to add more details to the effects but I'm satisfied with it for this project. It would be quite cool to see more people use FX in their machinimas. I look forward to seeing your battle scene. :) The voice actors did a great job, I agree. Thanks again for your support.
@1morning OMG! Where have you been? Aren't you making Sims movies anymore??? I really miss seeing new projects from you! Thanks so much for dropping by and giving me your support. I appreciate it so much! :)
I just adore your video Sy! The scenery is amazing, blows me away! So many words I want to say, yet they're stuck in my mind! Simply amazing! Can't wait for the next part!
OMFG! Sylent, this is pure awesomeness,genious... a true inspiring work! Eminence Rising kicks ass!! :P I can't imagine how much work this took. Your use of effects is so precise and brilliant, and great voices (was that the voice of Isabel I heard?) and music too. I cannot wait for part 2 :) Love it!
@bzanna Thanks, dear Bzanna! You're awesome! You don't want to know how long just part 1 alone took. It would scare you. LOL. I have always wanted to do a special effects fight fest and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yup, that is the voice of Isabel. I was very honored to have her on my project. :) I'm looking forward to your movie when it's released.
This is breathtaking. I love this film. The script, characterisation, story, architecture, effects, voice acting and music are wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed voice acting Rayna. Can't wait for part 2 :D You've done a fabulous job.
@BlackVioletMoon Thank you for your amazing compliment. It means a lot to me. I've always loved your voice and your acting so I am really honored that you took part in my film. You've been a great help and I appreciate so much. :)
Hey one question, how did you get the mods working after installing an ep (ambitions). First time that an ep worked on my... NEW comp system! woo! |D ooh got the same eyes as the bearded man! Aww I wish I had the time to make a SIFF entry!! :( *studies!!* aww I love the redhead guy's voice... soo smexy! 8D And wonderful elements effects + voiceacting. The filming was great, and wow gorgeous sets too!! 8D
@ghostblacklover Thanks so much. It was so much work getting everything together and just right. I appreciate the awesome comment. :) About mods, make sure you got them in the right folder. It works automatically if you have it in the correct folder. Orphis' voice is pretty cool, isn't it? ;) I'm glad ur liking the film so far. Thanks.
@TitusLinde I'm really happy you like the movie so far! This took so much time and I'm still not done! It's a very ambitious project. I can't believe I took on something this big! LOL. I'm a scary person sometimes. :) Thank you for your support! :)
OMG... Sylent... you created a perfect machinima! If Rottentomatoes is to include your film in their survey, this will definitely get a hundred. You know I am speaking the truth, and you know that because of the hardwork you had for this to make it perfect. I am glad there's more, as there's part 2. In fact, I want this to go on forever, like a well-loved fiction novel that makes me sad when the time to put it down comes because it's been read cover to cover already. I am ur #1 fan.
@ariesmanuel2009 Aww, Ariesmanuel, that is truly a wonderful compliment. Thank you so much! You're the best and I appreciate your support very much! :)
Wow, your video is amazing! Great music choice and awesome story and effects. The scenery the garden is so wonderful, too! And your characters, really I am in love with them.:) A wonderful video, I rated for excellent!
@Anches100 Thank you! You always say the best things about my movies! I appreciate your continued support. I really hope to see you make a machinima for our next SIFF competition. :)
WOW!! Even better than I anticipated Sylent!! Fantastic job! I'm anxious for part 2!! The voice overs were brilliant!! Okay, I'll stop gushing now ;-)
Wow...this turned out quite great. =3 I'm glad you asked me to take part in this, and I can't wait to see part 2, whenever it may come. ^^ When is the actual festival?
@J0hnny0hm I'm glad you are liking it! It was way more work than I anticipated, hence, the delay in part 2. You did such an awesome job voicing Arnon! Once again, thank you. :) The festival started today. Everyone is releasing their movies starting today. You should check out the entries and give your vote when the polls are posted in a couple of weeks! :) I will add the link in the description so everyone can find it easily.
Wow!I absolutely love it.Awesome effects...great story line...wonderful expressions of characters...lovely sets.It's very impressive. I also liked the voice overs.It was really worth the wait.Looking forward to seeing part2. ~Gordana
This is so amazingly awesome :) Great job. It's truly an excellent movie and very engaging to watch. It must have been hard work setting up the effects, but they worked awesomely. I'm so looking forward to seeing part 2. This is definitely an ark, lol ;) Not a raft in sight :)
Yeah! It's been a long time coming. This is awesome as can be. =) The effects are great and the music suits the moods just right. Part 2 can't come soon enough! However I must say, the bass boosting somewhat of a number on the clarity or Orphis' speech. I do have a subwoofer, so it probably boosts it even more. I think maybe they should have been amplified instead, but even so, I think this turned out GREAT! It's actually the first Sims machinima I've seen with voices. Glad I am a part of it! =)
@MegaMacTV Thanks Mac! It's been an awesome journey making this movie. I agree that Orphis' lines lost a bit of clarity. I will try to fix it in part 2. :) But still, your acting is fantastic and you did the character justice! I'm glad you were able to be a part of this project. :)
Pure awesomeness :) Thanks for submitting a movie for SIFF. I've added Eminence Rising to the official film festival channel. Good luck and enjoy the festival :)
Oh my god, I have been killing myself with anticipation for this video! And I'm watching it before school, which is cutting it close, but I wanted to see it so bad!! xD I love this! I think I sound nasily... xD xD I really loved this first part... :DDD I can't wait to see the second!
@MsHannerBananer LOL! I hope you weren't late for school! You were really amazing as Mystine. I love your voice. I don't think it sounds nasily. :) Once again, thanks for voicing for me, you're awesome!!! :)
@TheAngeliqueMonte The story is going to get even more interesting in part 2. LOL. Thanks for appreciating the special effects. It took me many many hours to make the effects work with the video. Yes, the voice actors did an awesome job. They really brought the characters to life. Thanks for your support, Angelique! :)

Aah, I've been having fun of making movies (not related to TS3) with After Effects, which is why I haven't been very active here. :)
I guess I could've uploaded a few of them, but decided not to since they're short and sort of lack substance..
Anyway, I definitely will make more TS3 machinimas!
