Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah.

And you thought I was stupid. :0D

It actually turns out I DID back up the story. Last year.

So I've lost most of the story, a good 35 mins of it, actually.

I have recovered:

The first trailer.
The first 8 and a half minutes.
And a three and a half minute scene when Grix enters his mind for the first time, which I cut out and am now using for Amneshire, just better animated, naturally.

So what does this mean?

Well, it means at some point I'm going to go back to the stories. It really was a lot of fun to do... I mean, when the whole princible is "make it look crap because you can't do any better", it's hilarious to watch.

So... well, the eight minutes or so is 108 meg. I'll try and compress it a bit more, but I doubt I'll be able to. I'll try Divxing it, I'm not even sure what codec it's in at the moment...

The three minute cut scene is about thirty meg, and the trailer is already uploaded and you've seen anyway.

Haven't uploaded them yet, obviously, but still, they're there. I'll see what I can do with the 8 minutes or so, so you can see it.

Just remember.

It's MEANT to look bad. :0D

Basically:

I started animating a story we all wrote about two years ago, a spoof of Star Wars with the members in. It wasn't serious in the least, and still makes me laugh to read today.

The animation was set out to be more done through comic timing and patheticness than state of the art techniques. However, it was done in 3D Studio Max, and allowed 3D worlds and the like. Half way through animating I decided to tidy up the characters a bit and made them look a bit better, which confused them quite a bit.

I seem to have lost my video editing software. So until I get it back, and get some decent webspace that I don't have to dial into to upload things AND is more than 10 meg... You won't get to see it.

But it's hilarious. It's so bad it's fantastic.
