Title: The Yawning Dark - a Minecraft video
Post by: OneDollar on Sun 05/06/2011 14:54:33
Some friends and I used Minecraft to make a short video. It's called The Yawning Dark:

I didn't get the ending, though trailer/movie itself was quite good,music was a nice touch. I remember those days when me and few friends played MC online, it was fun, until one of my friends learned how to spawn dynamite  ;D

I liked how the underground part of the thing looked. Very cool designing there. :) The movie was pretty good. I think I would've preferred a monster or two in the movie, but that could just be me. :P

Love it.
Good choice of epic music too. That piece is one of the reasons I like Kick-Ass so much. :D

Thanks guys! To be honest my main contributions were some of the sets and playing the extras.

By the way the shorter pilot video we did before this one is on the same channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyvUIxA1z80 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyvUIxA1z80)

I have never heard of this "The Game". Must not be a Canadian thing.

Are you being serious?
I've not met someone who hasn't heard of it in about a year.

There's too much minecraft hype around. What exactly is the thing that keeps people digging?
Tried it for like few hours and never understood why waste time. It's just a... level editor (with insanely difficult user interface which substitutes as a "game") without a real game to make maps for.

Wouldn't it be more fun to make a map for a real game, say, Team Fortress 2 and actually enjoy playing it with buddies?
You know, real game as one with challenges, objectives and rewards?
Or heck, even build a house in Sims 3?

Meh, I must be getting old. Don't get those things people play nowadays

Did you ever enjoy playing with lego, or hell, if you're that old, wooden blocks?

Yeah, got over 10000 views now which none of us were expecting! Puts the pressure on for the next one we do.

It's a communal building tool, working with a bunch of other people to build something impressive. I get really bored playing single player, but the multiplayer is a load of fun with the right people. Plus we're now using it to build sets and shoot movies, so we're creating our own challenges and rewards.

We'll have a better ending for the next movie ;)
