Soul Calibur IV - Algol's Bad Day or How I Tried to Seduce Ivy but Failed HD (Extended Director's Cut - HD Remake)
Cast: Ivy Valentine, Algol
Bonus Scene: Cervantes, Shura
Algol attempts to seduce Ivy to his will but he's in for a very rude awakening when she whips out her snake sword.
The original film was made using standard definition equipment captured in DV. Since then, I have been editing in high definition with all new gear. I thought it be fitting (and a nice challenge) to redo some of my older films since Youtube now offers high definition format standards for their users. However, it would be a waste of an opportunity if I simply re-shot the entire same film just to bring it to HD standards. So I added extra and extended scenes and a made a few changes as well in this remake.
When I made my original film shortly after the game's release last summer ('08), it was my first attempt at making machinima using the SCIV engine. All of this was possible using the in-game camera system during replays in training mode and between matches. There was limitation, unfortunately, of only being able to capture 7-9 secs of footage so would require extensive editing. Despite this, it offered creative possibiles for scene composition if used properly.
With the original film, I was still exploring and experimenting with the in-game camera. I would gradually learn to master all the tricks in subsequent films. Going back now, it would be interesting to see what I could do with the original film. I've felt some of the scenes were over extended and there wasn't enough action sequences. So this time around I added more, showcasing more of the character's abilities and skillsets from the game yet still keeping in mind the overall feel and tone of the storyline.
I also added a bonus scene at the end as a treat for fans of some of the other related characters from the game, hinting to a possible future story yet to be explored.
Anyways, this project was fun to work on since the hardest part was already done - scripting the storyline, laying out the storyboard production flow, etc. It gave me the rare opportunity to go back to a past project and see it from a different perspective, fix some mistakes, and make the film better. I hope those of you who watch it, appreciate the work involved and enjoy it.

Ivy: "And now you're pregnant." Algol: "How'd that be possible?" Ivy: "That's the secret."
