Kyriel Doku Presents: "Must Be Dreaming" - An Everquest 2 Music Video

[Iari111]

Had to share:

Playing a lively round of Go Fish with my kids tonight and I said "I have a song running through my head over and over...",  at which point my 7 year old starts singing the song from your video, and my 14 year old says "Yeah, it's in all our heads"

:smileyvery-happy:

And grats on the Treasure Chest!

[Akira]

You even made it to frontpage OGaming, how about that

[tullebukk]

Kyriel says thanks. This is her friend, for some reason she can't log into the forums... she types in her info & password, which is correct lol, and hits submit, but it just brings her to the main page on the forums signed out. Which is weird cuz I'm using her computer right now, it will let me log in but not her..

 

so.. she says thanks to everybody and thanks to copystart and thanks to Ogaming =)

 

[Herne Wulffang]

Great job, really liked it. Ellesar

[Kyriel]

LOL Lunara, :smileyvery-happy:

 

And Copystart, thank ye very much, its really awsome that you put me in the news ^_^

And yeah.. we figured out the problem here, I didnt have an EQ2 Subscription... Duhhhhhhh me! I didnt even log in EQ2 today untill it was time to raid and I was like /doh /doh /doh thats why I couldnt log in the fourms, LOL silly me!!

 

Thank you everybody once again =)

[Akira]

Lol. Having an EQ2 subscription would ease things along

[Kyriel]

eww the hardest thing i EVER had to do, was delete all the files off my computer...  I was going to save them to a CD... but it was going to take 6 DVDs...  and when will i ever use these files again? Probably never... lol but still... so heartbroken to delete them...

[Khejido]

love this video... Saw this a couple days ago and decided to watch it again...

 

no complaints about the soga model-as some (obviously) look better...but that begs the question? What were u thinking when you made u'r character in normal models? lol i mean, that's scarey...lol..

 

Great job, wanna see more!

[Eybietie]

hi zem,

very nice movie - there are some great fx in there. the *jump-off-cliff* scene is brilliant

/bow for your efford
gotta work harder on the next one now

greetz, lockwood

 

p.s.: how do you cut out the background- leaving only the animations of the toons ?
is this an effect featured in magix movie maker?

[Magh]

Very nice video! Thank you Zemfira!

and to our german fanpage www.everquestii.infomovie was not bad...sorry not bo so exuberant (hope this is the fitting word, had it from dictionary), but I saw to many fan movies from UT series, Quake series, CS and many more. So I noticed some points to be better.First wmv... omg it is really a big difference between a good compressed xvid, divx, x264 or other codecs and wmv. So try to change formatThat was all :p I am not a movie maker, I just loving fan movies and this one was well edited, good effects, music fitted well. Maybe you can change the theme for the next time to show some action from EQ2 (missing a "frag highlight movie from Eq2... for EQ2 it would be funny strategies, close kills and so on). Content wasnt so interesting another hint: look at this movie page, download the most downloaded movies (look at files) and enjoy...own-age.com

Thank you for putting me on the german fanpage!

And I agree, there is a HUGE difference between xvid, divx etc and WMV. I did WMV because youtube wasnt accepting my mpg format. And ... I just deleted everything off my computer so... lol I completly forgot to save the high quality version somewhere, AGAIN... i always do that! gah!

But, this movie wasnt really about fighting, or "strategies", the point of it was to use still frames or very little motion to move the story along.

People have their likes and dislikes ^_~

First, Thank you ^_^

 

And, I used blue screens for that.

 

Now that its been a few days, I'll show ya this:

If you look in the MIXFX controls in the center bottem, the bue box is lit with a green light, and the threshold and fading range I have moved to the left to make everything blue on the screen turn transparent. Now because theres nothing behind svetlana the screen is black.

This is what it looks liek with a different screenshot behind here ^_^

I've added contrast to svetlanas image so you can see her more, ontop of the guy

 

nifty stuff!

[Irr]

That program is unreal.

for sure! Thats only one of the FX feaatures, you also have "image size & postioning" (aka, cropping, stretching, positioning), Curve effects, that has stuff like rotation positioning, etc etc, then video cleaning, is a better window for contrast, colors, gamma, etc. Then story board, you can add different "feels" like dark room, or sunset color to it. its quite nice. theres lots more but I forget the names hehe

[Eybietie]

thx zem,

 for the spoil and i´m impressed about the idea with the tent.
how about the guy with his brig screen? *two thumbs wayyyy up*

and yes - this programm seems to be fantastic - just one more
question : while you´re editing and you got a huge pool of video footage
in the project, sometimes i cannot preview an effect properly cause
its getting *laggy* ..

when i finaly export the movie to finish it - the end result is completely
*lag-free* - just the preview function wont work - do the fx with MMM
work properly in the preview whilest editing?
or is it my cpu? which i doubt because i got 2 gig pretty good DDR2 ram
and sata drives and stuff...

thx again in advance for your reply

 

rock on

[Smith]

Really fun to watch!

 

Thank you,

*Blinks* Wow. There's a lot of hard work that went into this and I can see why you took a sigh of relief when it was done. Your effects really blow me away and you should considering doing this on a fulltime basis. Seriously. You have a lot of talent.

- Not sure what you mean by his brig screen hehe

-This is true. In fact, I was running out of memory with Magix with "Must be dreaming" every 30 minutes. This was though, a HUGE project I was doing.  And actually, there for 5 or 6 different scenes where I had just made a new project, do the scene, save and import that single clip to the main must be dreaming project, because it was so many layers and so many effects.

when i finaly export the movie to finish it - the end result is completely
*lag-free* - just the preview function wont work - do the fx with MMM

-Nothing wrong with your computer or program, as this does this for me too. If you hit "play" to watch your video on the screen there, it will definetly lag a bit, especially if you have alot of other programs in the background like AIM, Yahoo, MSN, Internet Exploerer Webpages, EQ2, Music etc. I usually close these and I'm good for editing for about an hour depending on how intense my project is. I've always gotten into the habbit anyway, of the scene I am working on, I will always export, always overwriting without question, and watch the scene, figure out what I need to change and fix it, export it again. Otherwise, you can right click the begining of the scene your working on and click video effects, and then hit play and it will play there without lag, although I beleive it will only play for the length of your start and stop red markers OR for only the leanth of the clip you selected, i'm not sure here hehe.

thx again in advance for your reply

Hmmm, maybe I'll pull it back to about 50 a day, I don't want you to think I'm stalking ya.  :smileyvery-happy:

[BigFatTeddybe]

Tell ya something: one thousand people is way not enough ... thanks for making it downloadable, I have it on my desktop and there was not one day so far where I haven't it played at least once.You did an awesome job there, not only to mention the work ('nuff people did that) but just to say: You're very talented and very creative, I couldn't have done this, even if I would have invested months of work. Kudos.

[Neville1355]

You have an INCREDIBLE talent. I really enjoyed that and would love to see more from you.
