The glorious moment of sweet victory

Guess what?
Finally, thanks to my amazing, awesome supervisor, the windows computer downstairs has WoW and WoWmodelviewer working! :D
This means that;

  • I can now make the character models
  • Once done I can animate all their actions, anything they do in the movie, from a simple drop-down list.
  • Then I add the animation to fit in with the background
  • Add voice acting, sound fx and music
  • and BOOM machinima is done
This means that throughout the next week or so, I'll be creating the characters (sounds like a long time, but there are trillions of combinations. Trillions. And the characters have to look good, wear fitting clothing, be eye-catching and not too fantasy so that everyone can watch and enjoy)
When the characters are done, I can take my script, and record the movement of every character, as I need it. When all the animations are recorded, using WeGame client, I can record the world inside WoW (or use the map viewer, if i get it to work) and add the characters (animated) to the background.
Then all I need to do is ask the people that I need to voice act, look up some awesome sound effects (or use the ones from WoW... massive library of effects right there) add some music... possibly made by myself, I'll see how that goes
and it's done.
Sounds easy, but its a hell lot of work.
Excited nevertheless, 
Let the work begin!
