Well... I've been thinking about this, a lot.
For the first time since I machinimate, I'm stuck into something too big. I've been working on this concert video since now 2 month and only 2 minutes are done, I mean almost done.
1 minute/month for a 12 minutes concert at least, that would mean more than a year.
Filming a real concert is just about having a lot of cameras and then smart editing. The 3 /talk emotes of my singer is clearly not enough to keep people watching for 12 minutes, so it needs a lot of ideas and a lot of special effects to keep it watchable. Add to that the fact that with a private machinima server and texture changing it takes me, after a daily training, 1 hour to recreate from scratch the scene and everything around before I can do anything...
As it will take ages to machinimate I decided to pause the concert. I'm not giving up, I'll work on it little by little. That's the only way if I don't want to make a video with repetitive scenes and a boring experience for the viewers.
Ok, so ? What's next ? My mental notebook was about to explode so maybe was it time to start editing Never Stay Tuned 4

Some guests already started to work, and I cannot wait to see those sequences, once again they have total freedom inside the concept of wow channel surfing. Here's a screenshot from a guest sequence, I will not tell you yet who he or she is. All I can say is that it is hilarious.
AFK pl@yers did another amazing video, it's a wicked baseball game, the English version is now available HERE . You really need to watch this, this is awesomeness.
They needed ads and I made them 2, you can see the first one in the movie !
Be back very very soon with screenshots and news about NST4 !

Mouahaha, je sais déjà qui est le guest, il est vrai que de ce qu'il/elle a pu me montrer, c'est hilarant :).
Oooh, another Never Stay Tuned! Screens look great so far. Good luck on it and don't give up on the concert! :)
About that animation thing, have you tested chaining them? On your filming server, create macros for all three animations and bind them into buttons you can click easily.
Before the first animation ends, click the second button and mix them up. I've found this technique to work very well on voiceacted machinima, so it should be OK for music as well.
And besides, does there need to be singing animation in every scene where the lyrics play?
Another never stay tuned! YES! The never stay tuned vids are some of my favorite machinimas TBH. Can't wait to see it ^^
To be honest, i would have never thought that i will see another Never Stay Tuned. These are awesome news Olibith!
