Runescape : The Firemaking Project

The goal of this project was to take Firemaking art and animation to a whole new level... I started working on it after I saw Firehawk154's video "The Art Of Fire (RSMV)" -- I encourage you to watch Firehawk's video, it's brilliantly done, although he didn't take it to the huge scale I did.

October 19th, 2010 - 8 hours after the video was released, it became my most liked video EVER, with 342 thumbs up.

FAQ :
Q: How many people are actually lighting fires?
A: I am the only person shown lighting fires in this video. So, in some points in the video, you're honestly seeing 16+ different video clips being played back at once.

Q: Where was this filmed?
A: All of the firemaking video was taken in my POH. No, fires do NOT last forever in a POH; I recorded a small part of each image at a time, and then spliced them all together.

Q: How many logs exactly did you use?
A: I came up with 1568. That's 161 normal logs, 340 blue logs, 105 green logs, 50 red logs, 684 white logs, and 228 purple logs. I know that the count is a little bit off, but it's fairly accurate.

Q: How much did this whole thing cost you?
A: I did a price check, based on the numbers in the previous question, and based on the prices for logs and firelighters when I made this video. I came up with 546k. Bear in mind that I made mistakes and had to redo some parts, and there's a few video clips that I wound up not even using. So I'd say it cost me closer to 700-800k.

Q: How long did this whole thing take you?
A: Around 4-5 days designing the images and getting video, another 2-3 days editing.

Q: How did you get the camera angle that high up?
A: I used the view in the Orb Of Oculus.

Q: How did you draw images with fire like that?
A: I built a method that allowed me to turn ANY still image in the world into a Firemaking art image, I'll try and briefly describe it. You take your starting image, let's say it's a screenshot of a Runescape logo. You blow it up in size somewhat. You lay a grid on top of it. Now each grid square is going to represent 1 fire. Now you look in every single grid square and figure out what color is most dominant in that square. So if there's some white and some blue in the square, you pick whichever one there's more of, and that's the color of fire that you put in that square.
