Can anyone find a use for this video? Movie bloggers in particular.

Polybore created this video and is thinking about releasing it for download (.wmv minus logos) under a suitable creative commons licence for free.

Maybe a movie blogger could use it? Would be straight forward to add your own logo to it with Windows Movie Maker or equivalent.

Just checking if there is any interest amongst BC members first.

What do you think?

  Yeah. That projector thingy is better than any animation I've done, so ...

  Huntly Community thingy is a film club that Polybore did the animation for. So they could run that video before the film that they show at the cinema.
  
  They don't have rights to the work so Polybore can make it available to others.

  Ok. When Polybore makes the video available for download the logos will be removed so you can add your own. The licence will be along the lines of -share, derivative, attribute -nonprofit. Need to get that sorted first.

  Thanks. MadMadMArgo. Would probably be best as an into for a movie blogger that posts videos on YouTube. Or as a promotional video advert for a blog.

Here is a different work in progress, again using blender, if anyone has any ideas as to how to improve it please let Polybore know.

  Use particle deflection (enable deflection on the ground object, etc.) and increase the life value so they don't just disappear, and make them not hang in mid-air at the end.
  
  Oh, and enable shaded in the material options for the particles, so they won't look like tiny fireballs or sparks.

  Thanks Friday13. Yeah gotta get those particles fixed, kinda looks like big foot is answering a call of nature as is.
  
  Will go for deflection and shading. Want to put this one to bed. Need a new project, any ideas?

  I can't even come up with ideas for myself.
  
  How about doing some still images?
  Or ... character animation! That's always fun.

  Yeah have been having ago at making still images at a higher quality. Mainly been working on this chap (for ages). Have had tentative go at charater animation. Need to stick with it.
  
  Do have a mental image of an idea revolving around BC, sort of a matrix style visualisation of hits going in and out, probably some of the old avatar action in there as well. Hmm
