<P>Thats a nice short.  loved the music!</P> <P>mori</P>

<P>Probably the last one for a bit as I think I exhausted my ideas <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P><A href="http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=1037994412925435083 " target=_blank>The Traitor</A></P>

[Irr]

<P>Wow Shackleton, all those movies are amazing!  I loved "The Traitor", and "Shackleton in Zek"!  The music, and dire tones of the movies were really quite mini-epic.<BR>I think you're on to something here my Kerran brother.  Keep up the amazing work.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

[kajirala]

<DIV>very nice the traiter was awsome</DIV>

[D-ron]

I liked 'em all. I hope you make more.<div></div>

[Shackleton1]

<P>Glad you chaps liked the traitor <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> It's my favourite too, but I was a bit worried about the google upload as it played havoc with the music and it's sort of hard to make out Shackleton when he shows up near the beginning and near the end <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>This one was a pain to film, but here it is <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P><A href="http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-7582306099250800748 " target=_blank>Shackleton and the Temple of Cazic</A></P>

[Ragefighter87]

Nice Videos.   That one reminds me of Indiana Jones : )Its amazing how you filmed that one in CT   its always a lag fest in there on Permafrost =(<div></div>

[Shackleton1]

<P>Indiana Jones was definitely my inspiration <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>I've slated the Temple one for improvement. It begins a bit abruptly <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> That's because I was <EM>so frustrated</EM> trying to film it. First trying to film the jumps with UI switched off and actually make it to the other side (had to sprint <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> ), and then the door which stays open for like 10 minutes and you have to keep the mobs clear. Argh! So once I had the shots I sort of threw it together a bit.</P> <P>But I'll go back to it at some point and clean it up a little <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P><p>Message Edited by Shackleton1 on <span class=date_text>01-21-2007</span> <span class=time_text>04:11 PM</span>

<p>The latest episode:</p><p> <a href="http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-7738075823194766906&hl=en-GB" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Hunting the General</a> (Video at Google)</p>

[Shackleton1]

<a href="http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-6186702752955883903&hl=en-GB" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Shack pull?</a>

[Irr]

<p>Hunting the General was amazing!  Very dramatic, and it's shown us a more serious side to Shackleton!</p><p>Shack Pull was pretty funny!  Keep up the amazing work man.  Shackleton is becoming my hero lol!</p>

[cba3]

<p>Im glad this has been bumped.  I'd forgotten how good these were and pleased to see the new additions.  In particular:</p><p>Hunting the General - Loved the fighting scenes, the use of still interspersed with movement was great.  The retrieving the sword from the wall was a good shot.  </p><p>Shackleton and CT - As has been said a great Indiana Jones tribute!  Loved the music.</p><p>Shackleton Pull - I think we all know someone like this (in my recent expericene its been wizards - note to squishies stay at the back!! (sorry)).  Again the cheeky still shots as he is running away are very good, great camera angles.</p><p>The music choice for all of your videos is diverse and suits the theme very well.  As Irras has said, the camera shots, patience waiting for lighting and weather is all appreciated by those of us who endeavour to do the same.</p><p>I would love to see a longer video from you (not sure if google video restricts size but I would make the effort to download from File Front for one of yours).</p><p> Lets see more!  </p><p>Mori</p>

[cba3]

<p>I forgot to mention Shackleton in Zek.</p><p>Its just a short fight in a lowbie zone.  And as a girl who isnt keen on fighting videos this could have been reeeeeallly boring.  But you even managed to make that watchable and THAT takes talent!</p><p>hehe</p><p>Mori</p>

[Shackleton1]

<p>Thanks a lot <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Comments are very much appreciated <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>I have more videos planned. They'll keep rolling out for a bit. That said, I'm really beginning to hit my limits. Really need a video editor that can zoom in on different parts, zoom in at different speeds, and ideally do panning shots. If anyone knows a free video editor that does that, let me know <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>For a longer video... well, I would love to do one, but I would definitely need help. Cast isn't an enormous problem, I have a bunch of friends who I burden with the task of posing (and I should really credit them too...) but I also need a second cameraman because the shots I can do of Shackleton while playing him are very limited. And there's no way I can do the really polished, professional stuff like Irras's videos (which I watched for the first time the other day). I don't have the hardware or the software.</p><p>That said I got inspired and planned out a movie composed of shorter movies... it looks just about doable, although would benefit greatly from the things above... But maybe one day <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Shackleton1]

<p>Okay so I got a little ambitious <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>This is a series of in game events documented by a series of videos. Hopefully it will all go smoothly. Don't expect to understand what's going on in this episode <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p><a href="http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=6527404445074154732&hl=en-GB" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Book of Promises, Act I</a></p>

[Sphinxcat]

Ohhh nice! I don't care that I don't know what's going on yet...I love the music and the shots you used...all very dark and forboding...I like it very much and I can't wait to see more!

[Shackleton1]

<p>Here's the next installment, which explains some of the plot <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p><a href="http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-675668873941574580&hl=en-GB" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay...80&hl=en-GB</a></p><p>Unfortunately, the part after this will have to await events on the Antonia Bayle server <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Littleflame]

I really liked Shack Pull? and The Qeynos Guards. Also the first part of The Book of Promises was very well done.

[Shackleton1]

<p>This is the video covering a week of events on the AB server, including the amazing parade at the end <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p><a href="http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-1401647808573172908&hl=en-GB" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Festival of Unity</a></p>

[cba3]

wow the festival of unity looked fabulous!  Great job on the video and big grats to the organisers of such a huge event!

[Shackleton1]

<p>It was pretty astounding <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Here is some <a href="http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=6888274702845934078" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">raw footage from the parade</a>, you can see how large it was. Is best to download it, is hard to make people out with streamed video.</p><p>Also <a href="http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-4977924733576023139&hl=en-GB" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Act III of the book of promises </a>is finished at last <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Shackleton1]

<p>New video, just a short one:</p><p><a href="http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-7350218053369216820&hl=en-GB" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Blood on the Cards</a></p><p>Kudos to anyone who can spot the *both* times when blood is on the cards <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Sphinxcat]

Nicely done! I really like that one<img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /> The music and voices are great!

[Shackleton1]

Thanks <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src=" width="15" height="15" /> It's a bit rough in places, but I really liked the idea of it <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src=" width="15" height="15" />*SPOILER*This you wouldn't be able to get I think unless you were on the same server and intimately familiar with the Guardians of the Blood, but "Blood on the Cards" is a bit of a trick. It doesn't, as you'd expect, refer to the actual blood that ends up on the cards; rather, if you look at the flag that Death is carrying, it's the emblem of the Guardians of the Blood (also shown at the end of the video) - hence Blood on the Cards. This indicates that the whole things was a set up <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src=" width="15" height="15" />But it's really quite obscure <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src=" width="15" height="15" />

There's a mansion in South Qeynos. The owner has long since disappeared, and the mansion lies empty and deserted.<a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8332659923006269152&q=source:017057401529439566245&hl=en" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Deserted Mansion</a>
