Exciting! Can't believe you got it all stitched together so quick, man!

Darth Mandarb · Mon 25/08/2008 19:53:02

I sure hope Renaldo's comforter will be there ... because that guy really stole the show!!

Great work Mods! Can't believe you have this already prepared!

This is going to be great. I am gonna have to get a bucket of popcorn to eat while watching this.

Privateer Puddin' · Mon 25/08/2008 23:23:32

I have that scene recorded on my digital camera if need be Darth

Awesomenicity!

So, when is the game of the movie going to be released?

Looks cool, but the title should be "Le ChÃ¢teau" or "Les ChÃ¢teaux". I guess a week in France wasn't enough

AGA · Tue 26/08/2008 01:02:08

Le. There was only one chÃ¢teau after all.

The film is online! This is the first cut, so there's still some rough parts (mostly sound) and a few other bits that I've since changed, but I won't be able to put up the best edition until next week or the week after. Still, here's the movie! I can't offer a download URL yet either but may do that later tonight if I get the chance! Some parts of the movie don't convert well into WMV, so maybe some special free DVD versions are in order. None the less, ENJOY!!!

I am watching this while eating deep fried fries.

Haha excellent! Good work on getting it done so quickly.

Youtube does such horrible compression, m0ds. Can't you upload it somewhere else?

m0ds · Tue 26/08/2008 14:29:46

ps, Some dialogue doesn't quite work or tie the story together...but I suppose that happens when you make it all up on the spot :p

Progz, I'll see what I can do with the next/final version!

AGA · Tue 26/08/2008 14:56:29

YouTube will show a high-quality version as well as lower-res if you upload as hi-res mp4 instead of wmv.

Layabout · Tue 26/08/2008 14:57:53

Wee, that was fun! Want to see the bloopers though!

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens · Tue 26/08/2008 14:59:07

I quite liked it! The only problem I had dialogwise was trying to understand Davy. I only managed to get about 40% of what he was saying most of the time (partly because of the voice mastering and partly because he was laying on the accent too thick) but otherwise I think it's great fun. I would've liked the climax to be more serious, but for what it is it's pretty enjoyable. Nice work, guys!

And what's with Percival's silly walk? ^_^

Miez · Tue 26/08/2008 15:01:05

Why THE HELL did we stay in such a creepy chateau?

Nice work, Mark - it looks awesome!

He was supposed to be drunk.
