Most Wanted ~ Xtranormal State Plus Vs. Moviestorm Challenge

Head to head competition Moviestorm compared to Xtranormal State Plus. We were given the same outline for the plot and allowed to write our own scripts. I spent about 20 hours on this video. It is rendered in 1080p with 30fps and is 113MB. The programs I used were; Moviestorm 1.5, AVS Video editor, AVS Audio editor, Adobe Fireworks, Balabolka, Textaloud, SnipIt and Xtranormal State Plus. Extra video clips and audio purchased through www.videoblocks.com. Normally, I would have used MorphVOX and recorded all the voices. However, Glenn wanted me to use TTS for the challenge. I will be redoing this with recorded voices ASAP. So please come back to watch and listen to this clip again. Here is the URL to Glenn's XN video, which I highly recommend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH2VFxJ6yv8

wow.

Some very cool things there that it appears moviestorm can do that STATE does not? Like opening doors/elevator door, etc.

the walking is a bit slow/unrealistic, but I guess that's par for the course in these types of software packages?

@bigjohn1962 The walking is totally controlable. You can have them walk slowly, fast, on their toes, the gait is adjustable. You can even have them walk with a varied gait. They can even walk like zombies. So your guess that the slow walking was par for the course in not accurate. Thank for the comment and I hope you give MS a try. They do have a 14 day free trial.

Nicely done, Ralph! I'd love to give Moviestorm a try, too, but I guess it's not free anymore. :-(

@Neferkit1 If you like telling stories through animated video, then give MS a try. They have a free 14 day trial.
