[ZarrionProductions]

Ammagah, lad, you got dem skill ;D

[runescapeitachi]

you keep saying you screwd up but i know i could never do this... great editing!

[SabaskaTheNoob]

@runescapeitachi Thanks dude that means alot to meh :D

[runescapeitachi]

cool man

[runescapeitachi]

beutiful vid i like the song and a little softer than what lvl80 etc. usually play. but a BE is perfect for singing this

[SabaskaTheNoob]

@runescapeitachi Cool, I usually dont like those over-the-top rock videos with the camera just on the lvl80, i experimented around abit to see what looks more cooler and this was the result! Yeah be is great for singing it, thanks! :)

[scampman]

Very nice editing! I liked reading the annotations very interesting!

[Zharkan16]

really liked the video, I can see that you've put alot of time on it, looks all great. Did you only use Sony Vegas for this video?

[SabaskaTheNoob]

@Zharkan16

Thanks, yeah I only used Sony Vegas for the video (Vegas 9.0 Pro), but now for my latest machinima (~4-5 mins long) im gonna make each scene on After Effects, render it lossless to Sony Vegas, and from there, I can put it all together and render it completely (I think you have a tutorial on that)

[Zharkan16]

alright cool, was just thinking... must have been hard to create some of those effects by only Sony V, when you're using the earthquake effect... do you render out the clip first, insert it again into sony V and then add the effect, or?

[SabaskaTheNoob]

@Zharkan16

Yeah, well, I thought i could add the earthquake effect if I rendered the clip, and insert it again and add the New Blue Earthquake Plugin effect to the clip (as theres no way to "precompose" the clips like it is in After Effects)

[ASCIISkull]

That is fantastic.  I see great things from you in the future if this is what you do with such basic tools.

[SabaskaTheNoob]

Wow, thanks Pinkhair, that means alot to meh!11!!!!

[Triplany]

Fantastic job man! I love how you explain how you did it. super job!

[Uberman5304the3rd]

[worldwar470]

nice

[456886]

Really nice video!

Must have been hard to make it, with all those effects and other stuff.

I made one with After Effects and it took me 3 months of my free time. :P

[SabaskaTheNoob]

Hey thanks! It was really hard to make, like all those characters in the end scene. This one took me 4 months of my free time! Beat that! :)

[worldwar470]

nice video dude

[zakipoe79]

That was pretty cool looking. 0.0 It seems a lot of people don't read the information about a video before watching it, or even once they have questions.. :x

Way trippy.

[Hoyuko]

i think you didnt understand the music...

[SabaskaTheNoob]

I did, I totally understood the music, but rather than creating a straightforward video of the music, I chose to add my own creativity to the machinima. Here, the singer is meant to be the leader of the octopus he raised from beneath the surface. He begins to lose control over the monsters he created, and then after realizing he has done bad (looking into his reflection) he thn attempts to apologies to everyone else by singing to them. Unfortunately, he gets murdered by his own scavenge creation

[Hoyuko]

yah just read, acted like a noob there, still sucks it makes no sense tho

[curmudgeonylibrarian]

What would you say are the essential NewBlue plugins for the aspiring music video maker?

[SabaskaTheNoob]

Do you mean all the plugins I think are good (e.g. Newblue Explosion plugin, Newplus zoom blue plguin) because they all come in a bundle of groups (e.g. Newblue Film Effects, Newplue Motion Effects...etc.), So you want me to say the bundle or plugins?

[curmudgeonylibrarian]

Bundles if you please. I looked at NewBlue's stuff and I was impressed, though they are a bit pricey for my budget so maxing most useful sets of plugins for least cost is my watchword.

[SabaskaTheNoob]

I'd say in order of significance depending on what I needed for this machinima, NewBlue Motion Effects, which was like 95% of the all Newblue plugins I used, like, the zoom blur, earth quake, rippling waves effects etc. Second I think would be NewBlue 3D Transitions plugin just because I used it 4 or 5 times for the transitions like the comb effect seen at 1:46 . Then Id say would ne the NewBlue ArtBlends transitions plugin because I used it for the vivid transition seen at 0:46. Hope this helps

[Thalanian]

Great video, Sabaska - definitely the best one from you so far.

Happy new year man.. :)

[SabaskaTheNoob]

@Thalanian Thanks alot! Happy new year to you too! I might go see the fireworks around London Eye and all, but I always get a bad view D: See ya l8r
