Poltergeists Video

UPDATES
Currently: Random scenes + Auge and Solace
In forest recording: Nope XD
What part working on: Auge ^^

Oh, I went to do something for Fenkovan because I seem to be unable to catch him while recording lately X"D... It looks odd. He has Polt's picto. I'm getting close to completion!

Hey there! As some might know, I'm going to make a little video about Poltergeist. I'm going to use Apocalyptica - Path as the song. And for what I've got in mind now, I'm needing the following deer:

ACTORS 8D
Poltergeist (Sun and Night set)
Loque
Cata (Maybe even Sunny? XD)
Corvus
Fenkovan
Zorai
Auge
Solace

TIMEZONES
I guess that's the list! I'm now done with the intro, and I'm ready to take the video's of the others <3 With those I mean Loque, Cata, Corvus, Zorai and Fenkovan! I am mostly online between 15:30-21:00, dutch time zone(Amsterdam). But since my holidays are coming up, and although I'll be busy, I'll be able to be online a little earlier! (Like 14:00, wohoo!). But if that doesn't work for you at all, I'll adapt to you! So to see the time zones between which I am online: 14:00 and 21:00

If you can just give me your time and timezone, I can look up what time that'd be for me <3 Also, there IS a chance that I'll have to cancel an "appointment", since the computer downstairs can be taken. But I'll make sure to notify about that XD (What am I being official!)

WHAT IT'S ABOUT
You might want to know that 8D... I'm making a little video about my deer Poltergeist, on this song:
Apocalyptica - Path , as stated above. Um. Yeah. It has a bit of a "story", too XD It's mostly about her frustrations. I could've played your deer myself, I'm sure about having all sets! 8D.. But that wouldn't be half the fun, now would it?
So what it's about: Poltergeist! I'll be putting your deer into it, in flashes. Like, memory's, or images. It'll show that they mean something to her. Also, I'll be putting up her vision of your deer, not your own XD But I still hope you'll agree <3

HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS
Since we can't communicate in-forest, something like MSN comes in handy! But since I don't have all your msn adresses, we'll go by the forum. Since I'm at first-persons view, I'm unable to see my own actions. I can load another TEF window, and use actions in there, but I'm afraid that'll give too much lag. So Poltergeist will try to give out certain signs.
Follow me
+ Running off in a certain direction.

Stand here
+
By this she means you'll have to stand on the place she's standing upon at the moment she rears.

That's it!

You're at the right place/you understood her instructions.

No, that's not it

You're not at the right place/you didn't understand/it didn't go well. She'll give you further instructions.

Can you please go to the forum?
+ +
When she asks this, she means to go to this page. That'll make it easier for us to communicate! I'll give you more details about what's she's asking here <3
Also, this same action might mean I'm restarting to get another weather. You'll also see her wearing another set (She has a day and a night set, and I'm sure you'll notice which one is ..which XD)

I'll make the list longer as I think of more. (I might forget it myself! I guess the last one will be most-used.) And ofcourse, if you're like "How're going to say this and that?"

PROGRESS

This is mostly for myself ^^...

THE INTRO
0:47 - 1:05
LOQUE
CATA
CORVUS
FENKOVAN
1:25 - 1:40
ZORAI
2:00 - 2:22
AUGE
SOLACE
2:30 - 2:50
REPEATING THE STAGS + ENDING

OTHERS
FLYRA

Any questions? ^^ Don't be shy! Also, if you're like "I WANT TO BE IN IT TOOO", I still got a lot of time "unused". So you won't have a big part, but if you want to run along with Polty, do tell here so I won't try to chase you off because you're in the way!

Sounds like one hell of a project! I must say, it's well organized. Another step to becoming an animator I think. I won't be available for quite a time, but I think I'll be on during the one week vacation 8D Starting from this monday ^^

Sunny: Thanks! XD Flyra:

Sunny: Thanks! XD

Flyra: It's great fun! The hardest part is the recording. Putting it together hasn't proven itself to be too hard yet. I guess that's possible! XD I'll see where I can fit you in ^^ I think it'd be great if I could do something with you and Loque together!

Sorry for going offline for that, Cata will return soon. I just hadn't played it in a window until now! ;D
The video is going to be awesome! <3

Oh lol! I was just brbing. X"D Should've made that clear. I wanted to update her updates. Although, noones online right now.. Let me check for the computer downstairs!

*EDIT*

Yeah, it`s free! You`ll see a very confused Polty with the butterfly antlers running about. She´s the camera! XD I can´t see where I´m going, lol.

Oh damn sorry X.x I had a bit of a problem. I´m EXTREMELY laggy. Also, windows keeps getting some sorta keys on that make me crazy too. But Polt´s trying to tell you this

She wants you on a bit of a higher place, so the camera can see your face. Then, the camera will come running up to you, and you´ll have to lower your antlers towards her. Polt´s going to give a place where she´ll look if that´s a good place for you to stand XD

--Stays a lonely Seele

Well, OK! I understood! But

Well, OK! I understood! But where should the higher place be? And why are Polt A & Polt B running away now? Shocked

EDIT: Okay, I see you wrote they're searching for a place now. xD

I got some great images!

I got some great images! Don´t worry, it´s certainly enough for today XD!! I´ll send them upstairs now. I got some beautifull moments from when Cata leaves (Camera kept recording, heheh.) I got slow in responds though XD when you use a hotkey in one screen, the other one does the same thing too. But responds slower. Since I was recording.. Ah well! I think I got some great stuff here, thanks a lot!!

What program did you use to

What program did you use to record?

I'm using FRAPS! It's free

I'm using FRAPS! It's free to download, and it works quite nice. It's a shame that I can't run it upstairs for some reason though. It just makes my computer way too slow. But it works on the computer downstairs. So ah well XD Shall I search for a download link for you?

--Stays a lonely Seele

But FRAPS is just free with a shareware version, isn't it? With that, you can only make short videos, don't you? o:
Buuuut it's so great that you got good shots! 8D *cheers*

How have I been? *giggles*

I knew you would enjoy it at last, Cata. ^^

Oh yay! It was great! Mahaha!

OK. Would you mind if I didn't return to the Forest now but writing CED (Cata's Endless Diary Laughing out loud ) for today? Eye

Please do find the link for me. I don't know if I will be able to download it because I don't want my computer to freeze up lol! I have no idea how to record anything on a computer so could you give me a brief rundown on how to do it??

Founder of The Lightbringers

Cata: That's true! I can

Cata:
That's true! I can record for 30 seconds, I believe. But I just press the button again and it continues XD for my little video I don't need long video's! It's ideal for that kind of stuff! XD

Handsome! No really, you did a good job there. I'm glad you enjoyed doing this! You really had a lot of patience with my 4 frames a second XDD.... Luckily, Misako can speed up video's.

Hey, just using windows movie maker here! And sure, go ahead! I"m not going in anymore either XD...

CelticMystress:

Sure! Click! This'll automaticly start the download. And yeah, it's not the full version, but it works pretty well! Sure, I'll try!
When it starts up, you'll see this little square. It'll have 4 taps, like "General", "FPS", "Movies", "screenshots". You can put some preferences on the window "General". FPS is.. Well I don't know. But what it does is it places the number that shows your framerate. You'll see that number as soon as you have FRAPS on, and TEF or any other game. With the "overlay display hotkey" and the "benchmarking hotkey" you can fill in the key you want to use to make the number switch place. Might be usefull, but not so much XD The number won't show on your recorded movie.

"Movies" is the important one. You can change the place it saves your movies to by the blue button "change" in the upper right corner. "Video capture hotkey" is the key that you'll use to start recording. I'm using the number "1", because something like F9 also starts a hotkey in TEF. And I tried a letter, but that started a video as soon as I was typing, lol XD... On the right, you have the button "disable", and on the right to that, "half-size" and "full-size". With full-size, your video get's as big as your screen. I don't think that's really usefull, it just makes your video huge and your lag big XD And youtube doesn't upload it bigger anyway. Right to that is the frames per second. When you put in "25", you'll have a video with 25 frames a second, etc. You'll have to figure out what you like best XD (Iguess lower means less lag, too.)
Beneath this al comes sound. And the tab "screenshots", is well, for screenshots! I guess that doesn't need explanation ^^

Need to know anything else? XD Oh, yeah, when you use FRAPS, you need to minimize it for it not to be in the way! It'll also show in the bottom right corner of your screen.

Cata:
I don't use two computers XD I can run two frames at the same time on our computer downstairs <3.. It's laggy but it works.

Flyra:
Aw I'm sorry, but I had to leave XD My brother wanted to get on.. I do have some nice moments though!
Polt was all "HEY FOLLOW ME, THE CAM WON'T MOVE D8"

We'll see! It was allready a coincidence to catch you while I was recording! XD! But I got some nice parts here, but it's not much. It'd be great if we'd get another chance ^^

--Stays a lonely Seele

I tried the thing you showed

I tried the thing you showed me and it downloaded perfectly! But when I opened the program itself, it said that I needed to buy it or else I would only have 30 seconds of recording. Am I missing something? LOL! Thanks for all your help!!


edit: Ok, I'm getting the hang of it. Nvm the last comment, but I'm still wondering if I only have 30 seconds of recording... Uhm, and I take it I'm going to need a video editing program to add music and such?

And could someone give me some interesting video recording tecniques for TEF? THANKS!
