Happy Halloween

Watch out for things that go bump in the night...and the sugar high...

It has been ages since I attempted a movie. WMM is still being a bitch so the quality blows. Sorry about that...

ETA: Posted a Halloween photoshoot on Through the Lens -> HERE

Eh...

I uploaded another video today. I confess I am not so happy with it as I was before. There is just something about the limitations and difficulties getting everyone to perform correctly. And the 'stars' seem to always have a mind of their own.

I don't know if I am going to leave this one up. I liked the concept and love the song but I may try and re-do it. It leaves me feeling somewhat...eh.

A Romantic Through and Through

There is no escaping it...I am a romantic. I believe in love and romance. My muse believes in it as well and with permission I am pleased to share a beautiful tribute from Cooper to Beth. It was filmed during a romantic birthday celebration for Beth in their grotto.

It has been awhile since I visited the fine art of machinima. I hope to have one or two more videos out soon. Until then, Till There Was You, a ballad sung by Paul McCartney and The Beatles. I have always loved this song from The Music Man. I hope you enjoy it.

Valentine Update

Just a quick update here. I've posted a Valentine treat...a gift actually, from Cooper to Beth. It's a beautiful song called Home performed by Daughtry. Better than chocolates...

New Movie Uploads

I have just uploaded a new movie. This is the one I have been wanting to do for ages. Must say it was loads of fun and one day, I may even post the bloopers...because there were many and they were hysterical.

So go check out Sharp Dressed Man and I highly recommend the Stage 6 version. Both films are exactly the same except YouTube seems to fracture the quality...a lot.

And speaking of Sharp Dressed Men:

New Year and a New Movie

OK I am a few days late...I have uploaded a new film. This is a gift from Cooper to Beth as an expression of love that she has most graciously allowed me to share.

Most of you do not know this but Cooper has been with me for many many years. He took shape in my Sims 2 world last year in Dark December while I listened to Nickelback which is one of my favorite rock bands. Cooper's voice is what you hear when you listen to Nickelback.

With that in mind I took one of my most favorite songs and put it to a video tribute from Cooper to Beth. I am still learning the nuances of filming and unfortunately some of the video quality suffered a bit in the upload but that aside, I hope the sentiment and the emotion is what you walk away with when you view it.

Please enjoy the song Far Away as performed by Nickelback and Cooper Stanfield.

EDIT: I have also uploaded a cleaner copy at Stage 6. You can view it here: Far Away

Here is a still from the movie:

Love...the Greatest Gift

As mentioned in my earlier post, I have had this concept playing in my imagination for at least a year without really grasping the art of filming within the Sims 2. After several failed attempts and a great deal of frustration I gave up until someone pointed me to the tools I needed.

So I proudly present my first machinima production. This is a holiday music video to honor love, fate, star-crossed lovers, and the AI.

And you can be sure that, once I refine my editing skills, there will be more to come.
