More than a Million Sex Junkies !

Choosing a title with the word sex in it is the key to succes.

More than a million pervy viewers saw The Ballad of the Sex Junkie on Youtube !

My first million viewers !

So if I have to thank someone for this, it would be Richard Gotainer and his fabulous song !
As there's no official video for this ballad, here's one of my favorite Gotainer music video :



The machinima for the Blizzard WWI contest is on it's way, Vilaeryn wrote an amazing text that totally changed the way I imagined this video, Shockdingo just sent me his lines and it really sound excellent as always. So, I'm pretty motivated for this contest, I just hope I'll have enough time and not too much technical issues.

Anyway, THANKS for WATCHING !

Beautiful contest

Blizzard just hit the european machinima community with a damn good contest !
A bit less than a month to make a 4 minute movie, what is really great is that there's total freedom, could be a comedy, a drama.. Anything we want except copyrighted material other than Blizzard property. That leaves a wide choice we're not use to in such contest.

A second contest is about making a 40 seconds max machinima TV advertisement about any WoW item. This also is a great idea giving a lot of freedom to machinimakers.

I'm sure the competition will be very hard, there'll be a lot of us wanting this wonderful laptop PC that is pretty much what anyone would need to make great machinimas.
So I took Vilaeryn and Shockdingo by my side and now comes the time to machinimate again.

I'll not post here any screens or infos about this video, I'll just make sure that, for once, It can be rated T for Teen... That could be the hardest part. The script is already written, Vil will have to rewrite the lines and make a few voice acting, Shock will have to perform the rest of the lines.
Then, I should be ok to begin editing.

All I can tell you is that it's gonna be a comedy.

It takes 46 muscles to frown but only 1 to vote !

Sick my duck

That's my beach !

Looking like some people are offended by some subliminal images that are inside "Tunasushi".
I was almost sure to have issues with the use of random japanese words and cliche.
And nope, 0.001% of this video created a lot of reactions.
On youtube, most of the comments are about them and people don't really get the point or at least find this funny.

WoW Insider was the place where shocked people decided to meet.

I suggest you have a look to the comments, but there's a chance it could be locked/erase sooner or later, so... Let me give you here my "very best of" :


So Thanks a lot to those who tried to explain things to them (Yeng, Matthew Rossi, Voldamir, Michel, Gadai, jten11 and the others).

As I said right there,
I was just trying to add more jokes to this video.

If I ever felt like making those images subliminals, they'd never saw them and they'd be eating sushis naked in a schoolyard right now.

Tunasushi

I kept silent about this one, let's say that after so many random movies and toilet humor I'd like to apologize for, here comes a meditative tale of love and humanity that explores traditional Japanese cultural values. A highly stylized story, with vibrant colors, with crazy sets, with an exciting and thrilling plot, with images that will burn into your brain. As says the japanese proverb :
"Bukkake Tamagoshi Aïbo Subaru"/"The reverse side also has a reverse side."

Here it is :



Now I go for a vacation in Liberty City, as planned since 4 long years.
I mean, if I have a chance too.

GTA won't make you a serial killer more than Tetris made you a bricklayer.

Shameless Self GG Quality Time

Tamagoshi wasabi subaru ?

Never Stay Tuned 3 gets a lot of love and I'd like to thank again those who are a huge part of this succes ; Ian Beckman, Dopefish and the Baron and all those who helped a lot. A whole lot of admiring comments everywhere talking about the amazing guest videos (Youtube, WCM...)

Blizzard France and Daghorn did another great news on the frontpage :

It says something I can badly translates with my friend the english translator as :
"Olibith comes back to us after an extended vacation, and delivers the so expected next part of his channel surfing : Never Stay tuned 3 ! Once again, our film director enriches his recipe by ideas which alone the mind of a gnome can find, the whole was made more dynamic by a nervous editing. And as our film director is exported, he does not hesitate to spread a bit of typically French provocation"

Youtube's stats are also sweet



Oh and Olibith's machinimas have been seen more than a million time at Warcraftmovies.com !!


The gnome is quite honored that 6 days after NST3 release, the cornerbox ad is still there and the video featured. A big thanks to WCM for giving such a large audience to this video !

So now that I did something that needed a lot of thinking (hahaha.. Hmmm) let's do something twice as dumb without any sense !! If I edit it fast and release it right after NST3, people might forgive me who knows ?

I've been trying to machinimate inside an Unreal3 map. But the framerate, even with low settings, was too low to capture a video. So I just did a lot of good quality screenshots of the place that I'll use as backgrounds. I have to do that a lot, sometimes even with WoW.

So it's gonna be a japanese movie.

Mitsubishi sapporo pokemon !!!

The story of a young boy who saw his family sadistically killed and who decides to get revenge 8 years later. More about it soon !

Anyway :

THANKS FOR WATCHING !!!

NEVER STAY TUNED 3 !

>>> DOWNLOAD IT HERE <<<

Looks like it will soon be released...

I just saw this :


Not the music video about a gnome shooting portals in Gnomeregan,
the right up corner ad !
And it's a animated one !!

That could only mean one thing...

Never Stay Tuned is on it's way to your cortex !

Delay is ever fatal to those who are prepared

As usually, everytime I'm done with editing a video, my PC reminds me that even when I bought it 3 years ago, it already was a shitty machine. So I got a very nice bugs panel since 24h, image freezing without any reason in the final rendering, Vegas freezing in the middle of the rendering, sounds saturation, corrupted videos in the timeline etc... Last videos I did, I thought it was due to a lack of hardrive space when I come to the end of the work, but now that I have +200go free, I must face that it's not.
NST3 should have been live tomorrow, I guess it will take a little longer...

My Buttfilm at the Bitfilm !

The Ballad of the Sex Junkie is


What really sucks is that I'm so Sick and Among Fables and Men are also nominated... Grglgrglgrgl :D
