The Circus [PROLOGUE]

Archive: 9 posts


The prologue to a new movie series by me. Full details can be found HERE (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=73197-A-Carnival-Of-Madness&p=1033531#post1033531), at the actual project thread, where you can find character bios and the basic story-line.

We are introduced to the owner and ringleader of a circus, but there is something odd and out-of-place about it.

It's short because of overheating, so the next part will follow on as a level link.

PICS:

Not much to say actually due to it being insanely short. I thought the scenery was good, especially that outside scene. The story seemed interesting, but it was only like 2 seconds long D; (under exaggeration is under exaggerated) The music fit well with the creepy-ish atmosphere but I thought it was a bit loud (probably just me though)

F4F this... https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=73268-Improper-Backgrounds-(1-player-only)

I kinda want to know how this overheated. Was it because of the sackbots?... :O Oh and I'll watch part two (or.. part 1) whenever it comes out.

The overheating was mainly due to the sackbots yeah, I managed to cut the thermo down by giving some the same costume and it worked a little. I used a lot of different materials too so yeah, I wanted to do more but I couldn't really do another full scene, so I left it like that to leave some tension. The next part won't be as short because most of what happens in part two doesn't happen in front of the crowd 2012-08-18 12:04:00

This was a good start. I was a bit thrown off by the lack of a moving mouth and voice sounds (due to your use of subtitles) but I know that the gibberish voices of LBP can get annoying when there is a lot of it. I think that the "and many, many more!" should be reworded to "and much, much, more!" to help keep the flow of the dialogue (that's just my opinion though. I really like the night sky above the circus tent though... A lot of detail there. All in all its a great start. I look forward to the next installment in the series.

As for the F4F, if you could check out my Metal Gear Sackboy thread (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=72941-Metal-Gear-Sackboy-Unraveling-Stitches) and play through one (or both) of my levels I'd appreciate it. Constructive feedback is always welcome. Thanks!

A very nice prologue! The set is nice, and so was the lighting. I liked the changing shots on the ringmaster, that really kept it from getting boring. It was a little short, but it was a prologue, so I shouldn't be complaining. I can't wait to see the rest. :hero:2012-08-19 16:20:00

Hey man!

This is a great little intro movie you made. The art design is fantastic, and the story, albeit short, is very cool so far.

The camera work is simply awesome. I am just getting into the lbp2 tools, so I was in wonder at how you moved the cameras around, and got such cinematic shots. Very polished work. I know it must take alot of time to pull something off like that.

Looking forward to the rest!

Hearted. <3
