I should remember to check the forums more often **forgetful** I love how evil your kerra is.. Is he always stirring up trouble? Well, I personally like it specially evil chanters causing problems *shifty eyes* No evil chanters here *cough*.... But uh, does Harte have like a little cult of people? Lol I wanna know how he is connected to the chantress. Are you gonna keep going with this story? I wanna know if your gonna keep him, kill him, and/or what not =p Lol

<div></div><div></div>Very inquisitive, hehe. I'm glad someone read between the lines enough to see that a larger story is coming. Possibly even a movie with voice acting. :smileywink:But if I answer your questions, I could spoil the story!I will tell you this however. There are more powerful people involved than Harte. The hint is in my signature, and in the "Special Thanks to:" from the cast list of <a href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=screen&message.id=21097" target="_blank">All Good Things...</a>I hope that bit will leave you stalking the forums for awhile.In the meantime I'll leave you with this. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T6Myaw6Z-8" target="_blank">Harte's Calling</a>This was my first video. There's no music, just voice acting. PLEASE keep in mind this was before SoE released their player voices. I really had no idea what I wanted Harte to sound like. It's kinda embarrasing knowing that it's out on the internet now. :smileysad:But it should give you a little more perspective on Harte. <div></div>Message Edited by Irras on 05-22-2006 09:31 AM

Hehe sorry I'm overly curious X_x And I saw the link from your siggy so hehe. I will ponder to myself now before I ask to many questions.. (think I've already asked enough) I always wonder whats gonna happen in stories before I get to the end ... And yes... I was wondering about that.

When Harte learns of young Cervante's travels, he sends Mistress Jera to test his loyalties. Before he realizes what has happened, Cervante finds himself following Jera back to Freeport. Slowly, he begins to forget everything he once cared for... just as planned.

I'm anxious to read your feedback. <HR> </BLOCKQUOTE> I liked it. And I, too, am interested in seeing where you go with this. That being said without reading your story board (bolded above), because I didn't till after I watched the movie, I was slightly confused till the ending credits. ( "mother" / "father" ) Several things lead to my confusion .. I had watched your "All Good Things" and you used another (same?) Blonde WoodElf Monk. So first thing I thought when it started up was that it was going to be the next step in "her" life (US version); so the blonde human male confused the heck out of me. Also, there is the fact that the "son" has not even the closest of resemblance to either of the "parents". I suppose he could be a mutatation but a blonde and a blonde generally create another blonde. .. I know this isn't RL but even from a story perspective one should keep some basis of facts. I got the whole "evil kitty" out to destroy Qeynos and as such corruption was being planned and carried out; so the jist of the movie played out very well .. the only thing that was an issue was the "family" part; unless you read the story board. There were just no real hints that they were his "parents" .. they could have been anyone. She could have been the soon to be ex-lover. The "father" didn't even do anything but stand there. He could have at least comforted her while she was so sad. Could have used a scene where there was a "fight" between the "parents" and "son"; there by sending the "son" out to the 1st meeting with the Enchantress. *shrug* Should you do another of these "family" things; maybe you should think about using co-ordinating outfits at the very least. So that you can carry over the feeling of continuity from screen to screen when setting up the plot. After a few frames or continuous movies where you have established the characters; then you can make radical changes in dress. Though, ask any actress/actor how the viewing public reacts anytime they trim their hair to see how well changes work ... :smileysurprised: Overall, very good! I especially like the fact that the "seduction" dance timed to near-perfect with the music! Good Job! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I guess I just took it for granted that everyone would know about the mother/father/son thing because I did. Let me try to explain. The wood elf in white is NOT the girl from "All Good Things..."This video is a totally new story. The only link between the two would be Harte.The son, Trenton, played by Cervante (His name was changed due to the server merges) used to have brown hair. He dyed it, just as most half elves do. This is one of the reasons he looks nothing like his parents.The human father, Irras, simply stands there because he knows Trenton must choose his own path. It would be very difficult, if not impossible, to make him comfort the mother with any emote. I guess I was going for a pose that depicted Irras as a silent and well composed person. He's also in these scenes for introduction purposes. He may not have said much, but he will be a main character in future videos.I hope this cleared up a few things. Thanks so much for the feedback KerowynnKaotic! I'm going to keep this in mind when I make the next movie. If you would like to know more about the characters and their lives building up to these events, you can read <a href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=tales_lore&message.id=903&query.id=2277#M903" target="_blank">~The Transition Chronicles~</a>A series of stories which accounts for the lives of several characters prior to The Shattering.You'll find short stories of Harte, Rebecka (The mother), Trenton (The Son) and his brother Nicholi.There are also some rather lengthy stories posted here about Irras (The Father). I hope you'll have time to sit back and read them all <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div>Message Edited by Irras on 05-23-2006 10:28 PMMessage Edited by Irras on 05-24-2006 01:46 AM
