Hello from SoCal Marc, that looks AWESOME!

I like the stylized water texture! I notice when the ship rocks, the direction of the water texture also changes... which prompts me to ask if you animated the rocking in Muvizu, or in your video editor? Please elaborate on how you "rocked the boat"

Also, where did you get the background music and sound effects? It all works together so well!

I've started a project but I'm not sure if I can make it funny enough, so I may enter this, something else, or maybe I'll wait for the next competition.


"Funny enough?"

Gee, I'd hate to think there are humour police who get to declare where the threshold begins at which anything can be declared to be funny. My own take is that unless a video is clearly meant to be taken seriously, then it qualifies.

Personally, I like understated tongue in cheek humour.

Having said that, only you get to decide whether or not to participate. But I've hired some thugs to help you decide, and they're on their way to your house now....

I am following with close interest, but I'm afraid I won't be participating. Beware the Eye of Amun-Ra is approaching five years in production and if I want to finish it before one of us dies I need to focus and crack on.

I wish everyone good luck and may join in next year when this damn thing is done


I respect your dedication to task! Can't wait to see the final product!

(And, FWIW, I'm also hoping nobody involved in the project dies!!)

Anybody know if any of the other Moguls will be participating in the contest/challenge/whatever we decided to call it?

Finger Pistols Are dangerous Casting Speaking of good mics, Musician's friend has a daily sale item they call "Stupid Deal Of The Day", and they often have pretty good mics for not a lot of money (comparatively speaking). If you sign up for their SDOTD mailing list, every day you'll get an email of that day's StupidDealOfTheDay.

Or, you can just click this link (It updates every day)
www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid

If you want to get on the mailing list, scroll down from that link and look on the right side of the page about 2/3 of the way down.

Depth Of Field welcome to the forum Robert! I look forward to seeing your first video!

I hope you'll participate on the forum whether you have problems to talk about or not. I think you'll find that the people here are not only helpful, they're also just plain fun to cut up with. ;-)

Excellent voice work there!
I'd recommend you get a fairly good mic since you might even be able to monetise your talent.


Indeed Marc, you sound great, but the mic sounds terrible. (I know it was just a demo and that's probably why you used the most convenient mic)

ESPECIALLY in collaborations when a lot of people are contributing audio that will be joined together later it is important to have a clean signal on all the audio tracks... otherwise hearing the snippets back to back it becomes obvious very quickly that it's an amateur project.

The hollow sound in your demo isn't just due to the mic, it's also due to room reflections (that's why recording studios have that acoustic foam on the walls.. to absorb sound that would otherwise reflect and sound like reverb)

If you get serious about voice acting, you can buy a baffle that will keep all that from happening. (It's a lot cheaper than sound-prepping a whole room) http://www.musiciansfriend.com/sound-shields-reflectors/cad-acousti-shield-16-stand-mounted-acoustic-instrument-enclosure?pfm=sp

Or, you can accomplish approximately the same thing with blankets or a pillow or other absorbent material on the other side of the mic. The pillow doesn't look as cool, but you probably already have one. ;-)

Finger Pistols Are dangerous Casting Clayster, even if you don't get Finger Pistols officially "published", you should look into monetizing your Youtube videos.

The Music industry has taken advantage of bands for years, offering them bad contracts in exchange for all the rights to their music. Lots of people are finding out that they can make almost as much by marketing their work themselves than they can get with a record deal... and they still own the rights to their music! You might find the same to be true for video.

YouTubers LOVE funny videos, and if you set up your account as monetized, youtube takes care of putting the ads on your page, and you just get the money. It's not much at one time, but it keeps trickling in forever. And the more videos you have, the more it trickles.

Also Facebook is aggressively promoting their own video, and due to the way people on FB can easily link to anything posted there, it works well as a way to build a following. I'm not sure if Facebook video can be monetized though.

If that sounds like too much hassle, consider delegating it to somebody else. The bigger your production gets, the more you will benefit from specialists.

ROBOT VOICE SOFTWARE regarding the sound of the robot voice program:

If you need a cowboy accent, you can get different results based on the way you spell the words. Sometimes nonsense syllables can yield interesting pronunciations.

Also, purposefully using more words like "tarnation", "yayhoo" and "Varmint" etc can make the point that he's a tex-bot as opposed to a yankee-bot

Finger Pistols Are dangerous Casting LOL... Marc, you are gonna fit right into this crowd! Funny western themed pickup lines! Clayster is the man who would have to approve though.... it's his project! And he's TOUGH!

Hello from SoCal yeah, welcome to the forum! Ditto on the idea of posting links to your video!

Where in Southern California are you located? There's at least one other active forum member from California...

Not sure what is said, can anyone translate?


it says (paraphrased) "Where do I send my information (video?) for the competition?"


Google translate is a good way to get a fair translation: https://translate.google.com/

Extracted and prepped as FBX models.



I will put this set into the store (free, of course) so you can use it for reference if you don't want to have to extract the figures yourself.

Ziggy, where did you get Sinister, Beefy, Blob and Rosie? And the Asian characters? They aren't in the RAR file....

If you change the recording device to WASAPI and choose your speakers then it should record the output of your computer. (For me the default was MME)

In Windows 7 I think you need to go in to the Windows sound settings to enable it, but it seems to work in Windows 10 for me where I haven't touched those settings.



Awesome! Thanks! Worked like a charm!

This has been one of those days in which the forum worked like a cumulative intellect, with somebody knowing and revealing key information that was keeping somebody else bogged down!

I really appreciate the fact that everyone in this forum is so generous with their knowledge. This day has been a major step forward for me. Thanks to everybody involved in today's discussions!

I wonder if BRAJ still reads the forum... I think he'd be interested in the stuff that was discussed today...


regarding the software mentioned in this thread... now that everybody knows how to record & save whatever audio is coming out of the speakers, the free version is a no-brainer!

Patient lying in bed the RAR file worked! Thanks!

I don't know where you found all these models! I installed the UMODEL program, but I could only get it to load the blob, a man, a woman and Rosie's head.

I had to right click on the link and select SAVE AS... which did allow me to save it. Unfortunately my zip program won't open it.
