Clear Skies - an EVE vid with a difference...
A mix of Half Life 2 and EVE, an actual plot and acting, all put together for a 40 minute 'pilot episode' format film. Two years of my hard work culminated in this, I'm very proud of it and I hope you like it. It's a big file so there is a trailer as well if you want a taster first.
I didn't post up anything earlier as I'm a believer in doing *then* saying ;)
450mb download: http://go-dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/JohnRourke/Clear_Skies.wmv
26mb Trailer: http://go-dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/JohnRourke/clearskies_trailer1.mpg
Yes it bends the EVE universe a bit. Yes I'm getting a website made for it (with FAQ section!). But gosh darn it I was just too excited to let it lie while waiting for those to be finished :D

Wow, this is incredibly awesome, made of pure win and all that. Obviously there's always room for improvement, but having worked with FPS modding myself (UT series though, not HL), I can see and appreciate the amount of work that has must have gone into this.
You, sir, deserve an award. And then, a production crew, coupled with a big fat paycheck!
This is the dawn of a new era for EVE movies. Well done! ____________

Probably the best EVE vid I have seen to date.
Exceptional work.
And tbh the EVE universe bending isn't too terrible, there are ships that are not pod piloted (i.e. the rats you fight in missions).
And who cares, it's awesome.

Edited by: Landrassa on 30/05/2008 05:51:14 Absofrigginlutely amazing.
Especially impressed with the voice acting myself, quite believable. Good script, nice camera work. Someone give this guy a studio and a fulltime job doing this please?
1 small annoyance though, I don't think I'll ever be able to lead a gang again without directing everyone to shoot at a certain part of the enemy ship 
This thread needs a sticky and bars in every possible color attached to it tbh. Every EVE pilot should watch this during downtime and if it doesn't make them smile, well, turn in those pilot licenses guys.

Right, ok so I may be more than a little biased, as I am acutally IN the vid, but I think its a stunning achievement by JR (believe me he put in a LOT of time and effort on this, as the vast majority of the work was done by him, so all the rest of us had to do was turn up and record the dialogue while trying not to laugh at Solomon saying Grrrrrrrrderrrrrr). If the reaction to the vid remains as positive as it has been so far, I am sure it will go a long way to convince JR that all of the time and effort given to this project was worth it, and will hopefully lead to us commiting to the next episode.

Thank you all for your kind words 
I'm incredibly chuffed that people like it so much, it was a heck of a lot of my life that went into this and although I mostly did it as a creative outlet and to have fun with my friends, the idea of other people enjoying it as well gives me a warm fuzzy feeling I can tell you!
To answer a few questions: I did pretty much everything. Set design & builds, camera angles, music choice, working out how to use all the developer tools written by developers for developers etc etc. This kinda accounts for the 1500+ hours I put into it I guess 
Credit where it's due though - some changes to dialogue were suggested by the voice actors as we went along to make it flow better and make it more like "their character" than just ten versions of me. Also their delivery of lines was different to the was I had it in my head and I really liked the different takes on the script like that. Some set piece ideas were put forth by them as well - the introduction to Haffa changed 3 or 4 times and Mark suggested the whole "eeny meeny" bit which I think was great. Richie saved me (and you) from a crap ending. He also adlibbed a few lines that stayed in. Brian phoned his sister back in Ireland just before the voice recording session, so his accent was as thick as possible (what a pro!)
The corp chat on the plasma screen that someone pointed out isn't a corp chat window, it's a private channel between friends. It's actually a bit of an easter egg, you can read whats on there That one was quite deliberate - there are plenty of unintentional continuity faults to find I'm sure lol I know of several but I'm not saying 
Don't even speak to me about a second episode, I'm still recovering from this one 
-JR
PS please do spam the links out mercilessly to your corpmates, the more that see it the better 
PPS I'm so dead in fleet ops now aren't I

Certainly the most original take on an Eve related vid that i have seen and well worth the effort you put in 
You deserve some serious credit for this since i feel that many people will start to make their own stories like this once ambulation is released.
Congrats and i hope you do eventually make a few more additions to clear skies saga

WoW, I just saw the trailer.. and the scenes inside the ship were awesome! It adds a whole new level of immersion! I really hope we'll be able to walk inside our ships like that in ambulation.
The only bad thing is that all the characters are from HL2, if only you could have someone make 3d models and textures based on characters in EVE.. Might be a bit much to ask, but it's the only thing that breaks the immersion a bit..

At this point, I could say things like "get some original skins for the characters!", "Dire Lauthrisise the EVE footage and make it more like Lacrimosa!", "get some posh people to do some of the voice acting! (I'm so intolerant ¼_¼)", but that would be silly. For all it's lack of polish, this was truly amazing, and a very original and different EVE movie than anything else available right now. The amount of effort put into this project is obvious, and what it lacked in pure visual amazement, it made up for in creativity and fun.
Not that I'd complain if for the next one (there will be more, right?) you spent some time in after effects, and perfected other visual elements 
10/10 is the only rating this deserves.

On the whole I really enjoyed the video. The voice-acting was ok/good for the most part, with the bad being the actionbit, the tension just wasn't there. A few rough cuts between the games/engines etc, but I'm sure you know about them. I could smell the ending line from a mile away though, way to sappy for me :D
I think that this was the best piece of proper Machinima I've seen up until now, certainly the one that looks like it has the most effort put into it. I'm sure you'll get a flood of comments in the following days, it was really quite a treat.

Truely a revolution in EVE moviemaking. The story and dialog were excellent.
In my wildest dreams I always hoped to see an eve movie that mixed characters story and action but I never belived it was possible. This must have been a moumental effort to make happen. I look forward to the web page and the FAQ.
I love the touches with the fitting/info misc ui screens as panels. Good luck on your next project and I will definatly be early in line to download it.

A milestone in Eve cinematics.
I'm not sure the british voices and humor suit the Eve lore much , or the scenario itself - they were a bit too stoic while being pounded by torpedoes in a seemingly hopeless situation (if that raven had a scram... ) with their lives on the line.
Otherwise perfect , professional work.

I don't know what to say! I'm flabberghasted and boggled! Thank you all so much for what you've said, I'm over the moon (the 3rd one off Planet IX in Kusomonmon to be more accurate). My friends who took part are also besides themselves with a big case of feelin' good.
I'm sorry there weren't any mirrors set up, I never expected this level of response. I feel kinda bad about Eve-Files grinding to a halt, and I must say a big-up to Ralle for hosting the vid for me so people can get ahold of it.
I love Eve, I've been here since day one, and I'm glad I could put something back into the community. Although it does sound like the factional warfare expansion is being delayed by about 40 minutes * the number of devs in this thread and then some! I might just take you up on that offer of beer one day 
To answer a few of the random questions and observations, in no particular order:
Yes I built all the Half Life 2 maps. I've got screengrabs of some of the "work in progress" shots in Hammer and in HL2 itself. These are slated to go on the website, along with an "about", some stuff about the cast and crew, and an FAQ that covers a lot of the questions that I anticipated being asked.
One I correctly anticipated was - why the default HL2 characters? My response is: Because they were there. I can do sets, and camera shots, and nice external space views, I like a good bit of scenery, and I have figured out some of what is needed to tell a story through the medium of film, but one thing I canÆt do is artwork and modelling. A manÆs got to know his limitations, as Harry Callaghan once said. This project has taken up a huge amount of my time as I pretty much did everything myself. The idea of teaching myself a modelling package and building a plausible human and skinning it makes my stomach knot. The project would never have happened if that was a prerequisite. Plus, added bonus, they have all the gestures from HL2 ready to roll. So I didnÆt need to do motion mapping and stuff either, which would have been so far beyond the scope of this project, it would again never have taken off, or indeed, undocked.
Think of them as the same actors in different roles. And the same clothes, admittedly, but hey.
Another question I anticipated was the voice acting quality: Well, itÆs me and my friends. We arenÆt actors, but we are mostly into games, scifi (Stargate SG1 and Firefly 4tw!) etc, and are intelligent (honest guv'nah) and have overactive imaginations. That and the main crew parts were written as if we were bickering at each other while playing a networked game of something anyway, so mostly it came naturally. The goal of this whole project was to give myself a creative outlet and have some fun at the same time, and that has truly been achieved! All my friends who were involved had a whale of a time and loved the results so that makes me happy. We arenÆt exactly the cast from OceansÆ Eleven or Heat, but I think we did pretty well for complete noobs. You should hear some of the outtakes from the voice recording. I almost had enough wood to build a shed.
And the accents are British because, heh, well I'll let you work that one out 
And finally, in this epic wall of text, how long did it take? At a rough low estimate, 1500 hours. That's half a year solid at eight hours a day. No, I don't watch TV. Yes, I'm single

Some great script, felt like a film for everyone with Eve in jokes and I loved it for that :)
"they must have...cleaned the windows or something..."
perfect!
With a full range of professional voice actors you could make this something else.

Serenity meets Red Dwarf meets EVE meets Half Life
That was great! I have wondered why it's taken so long for people to try blending two games together, since EVE is so well suited to 'The Big Picture' but lacking in any discernible characters. Ambulation is going to see an explosion in quality EVE storytelling.
I was really impressed with how you integrated the HL2 footage with the EVE backdrops, and some of the camera movement during the HL2 sections was rather impressive. I'd love to see some form of making of for this piece.
Good fun, and a little clunky in a British way. I hope to see more!

Originally by: Hllaxiu the only thing that really bugged me was that entire pod thing, but you've made me wish that we could wander our ships in ambulation instead of the current back story 
Actually if you go by the backstory there are numerous ships still piloted the "traditional" way as illustrated in this movie. Pod pilots are the elite of the EVE universe and better able to control their ships, but I would assume that at any given point and time there are more ships being flown the normal way than through pod technology. But that's me descending into deep RP again which leads to me wanting to have more NPC traffic actually warping in and out rather than just appearing in space like god's own film splice special effect.
Couple of us were talking about this movie in the pub this evening...every one of us already has a favourite line from this video. It got quoted and laughed about a lot, so again: Job well done.

Edited by: Shana Tirii on 30/05/2008 23:20:30 This movie is just pure awesomeness. I watched it and laughed hard. One of the best lines was the comment during the conversation about people calling themselves as Mr. Smith when wishing to remain anonymous: "Yeah well, as long as your funds're clear, you can call yourself Elena Gazky as far as I'm concerned"
I have to say the script was well thought and written, voiceacting was very good and not to mention that brittish accent was hilarious and very suitable! Animation was made well thanks to the Source engine by Valve. Music tracks were also very well chosen and, man, I just love that Below the Asteroids by CCP Jon Hallur.
I can't say that I've seen better game or game engine based movie this far so I have to give you all 10 out of 10 points!

Ace work! Just awesome and even cooler to know what a great crowd EVE attracts to go to this much work for all our enjoyment.
I now have a third to round out my favorite machinima: Red v. Blue, War of the Servers and now Clear Skies. I'm not even going to try to rank those, all are great and an elite club to be in.
Is Part 2 coming next week? Not sure I can wait that long.

Another question I anticipated was the voice acting quality: Well, itÆs me and my friends. We arenÆt actors, but we are mostly into games, scifi (Stargate SG1 and Firefly 4tw!) etc, and are intelligent (honest guv'nah) and have overactive imaginations. That and the main crew parts were written as if we were bickering at each other while playing a networked game of something anyway, so mostly it came naturally.
It was obvious you were not actors, but since the script was so good, you kind of got away with it.
The biggest problem with this vid, is that you have now raised the bar so high, I'm sure there will be a void in your wake 
Once again, amazing job, your technical skills astound me, I could see some of what you did, but the composition, and imagination to bring the camera work and story together was PRO Like any good film, I forgot about the effects and watched the story

Thank you to the mirrors, ~2 MB/s is a very nice speed!
This video episode is simply astounding mate, the time and effort you must have put into this must have been insane; however it has paid off extremely well. The structure of the video format, dialogue and characters is brilliantly put together and truly pulls off an excellent home-made video (and by that I mean, it doesnÆt matter if it hasnÆt got the bells and whistles of your 9pm TV, something to this standard made by one person in their own time is amazing, you really have set a new bar) bravo!
Defiantly reminds me of the short CATZ video that was made a while back, I thoroughly enjoy a video with plot and story; it makes a nice change from the current standard!
Very much look forward to your next instalment!
P.S, Someone give this guy an award or something!

CCP give this man a unique faction ship prize or something because he deserves something more than praise for this and permalink this vid in the "Eve Videos" section. Hell how about making some of the eve chronicles in this manner, just an idea.

Since another episode will take a long time, how about some Chronicles to sate our need for the further adventures of the Clear Skies and her crew?
And if CCP doesn't offer you a job, they really will live up to the level of incompetence some people label them with.

Well, what to say except: MASTERPIECE! Good plot developing, music choice, full EVE related story. But you know what is next? You opened Pandora's box - you've set the plot which needs to be continued. EVE community liked it and now we DEMAND moar episodes. Give! Now! Obey! Please... Must.. have .. moar... Ur ...preciousss... To boost own morale, you can even do some kind of ISK subscription or to make deal with CCP about some real $, because your work gave us great addon to EVE content. Maybe you could connect with more ppl to ease production time consumption. Even this really IS awesome stuff, I must give one critique: character dialogs needs more acting. Sometimes they sounds too monotonic. Looking forward for more episodes

Some excellent fusion of the HL2 and EVE graphics. Also some great emoting by the CG characters.
I hated the characters...all of em really. The captain was stupid and overly optimistic. He was also way too prideful with the whole "we do not run away" thing. I've personally killed way way too many people in EVE that talk like that. The other two characters did nothing but *****, which was real annoying.
The Raven pilot sounds like a 15 year old boy but looks like a 60 year old grandpa. Similarly Mr. Smith's voice sounded way to young and defiantly not ominous or mysterious enough for the character he portrays.
The 2 friends were never developed at all. Kinda just there for the deus ex machina.
I hated much of the film style of things. Way waaaay too much rotating. I know you WANT to do it cause in 3d generated things that's the simplest way to move the camera but except for a coupe of times DON'T. Cut from character to character, do crane shots or tracking shots, but don't rotate. You don't want your viewer getting sick and puking.
TL:DR Good graphics fusion and character model emoting. Some clever dialoge.
Bad editing and filming techniques. Cliched plot.
But at least you succeded in making something recognizable as an EVE machinima. I've seriously considered doing this before but couldn't figure out how to film the character interaction. Good job on that front with your manipulation of HL2.

It's bit unfair to critisize it as if it were a some kind of multimillion hollywood flick, when most of the work was likely done by 1 person in their spare time with no funding whatsoever.
Unless you expected him to hire a team of professional voice actors or something...

The critical guy above has some points but it's the best by far we've ever seen.
This tops any film that contains a flashy box. I mean the Evolution trailers are nice to watch for 5 seconds but they don't even come close in entertainment value.
New benchmark for EVE movies if you're gonna do a flashy box movie don't bother you're wasting your time.
If you do a follow up shout out for voice auditions you'll be able to get the right voices for the right characters. /start sig I love old characters that post 'I've beeen playing the game four years' when I know their account has been sold on. /end sig |

It takes an absurdly rigid position to be judgemental i.e. "Don't rotate." Says who?
Film style has changed quite a bit over the years: faster cuts, moving cranes, helicopter fly-by's not to mention the famous Matrix shot. If you can't handle the action, take a pill and sleep through it.
Not to mention that in sci-fi old men might have young voices. It's a matter of imagination, not viewing habits. Speaking of which - ship captains in all fiction that I'm aware of usually have exaggerated character traits and display some form of eccentricity.

It's bit unfair to critisize it as if it were a some kind of multimillion hollywood flick, when most of the work was likely done by 1 person in their spare time with no funding whatsoever.
I didn't say I hated it, I pointed out the things I liked about it as well as what I felt could use improvement. However, you don't need millions to write good plot, you need to be a good writer. You don't need millions to edit and film good shots, you need to study filmmaking. I don't know how much of a film buff the OP is or if he's been to film school or taken any film or drama classes but I felt it could be improved. As for actors I'm sure if there was a roll call in the forum there would be lots of decent voice actors that actually fit their characters gender and age that would apply and be happy to work for free. This film is about the length of a standard TV show and its ending is left open so there could be more coming. I'm offering my advice on how to make them better than the first. Constructive criticism.
FFS, you sir are a pillock, the quintessential internet know it all. Slating a great AMATEUR movie that is better than anything you could ever hope to do.
You don't know me and you haven't seen all of what I've done in films. I'm not just some internet know it all, I'm actually involved in acting, shooting and editing amateur works. They are not EVE related so I won't derail the thread with them.
Just cause I'm not sucking up and going "OMG WILL YOU HAVE MY BABIES!!!" like most of the rest of the people here doesn't mean I'm a troll, it just means I'm not gonna follow the crowd and be a suck up.
I was there when Red vs. Blue released their first episode and brought machinama back into the spotlight and I've watched a lot of machinama projects over the years. Red vs. Blue is not good because of the pretty graphics or effects, it's because it has good writing and good acting and well written distinct characters. It was professional quality when it came out and stayed that way for years until Microsoft hired Rooster Teeth to do paid jobs. Some in here suggested that CCP hire the OP to do this for them, so someone aside from myself was holding the OP to professional standards it seems.

Edited by: Valan on 31/05/2008 12:43:24 While someone has mentioned ambulation maybe CCP ought to take note now and make sure the tools are in place so we can do this kind of stuff.
Now's the time to decide CCP while it's being developed. /start sig I love old characters that post 'I've beeen playing the game four years' when I know their account has been sold on. /end sig |

Originally by: Janus Duo Obviously rules were meant to be broken, but in this case the rotation comes from the engines it was filmed in and not by artistic choice.
Artistic choice? - There is no such thing, even if it exists - then only as a lie. Artists always use the limited instruments they have. And this movie felt by no means hampered by the CGI engine, quite the opposite! It's a showcase of machinima's boundless possibilities, when two different game engines are combined with superb acting, storytelling and British accent.

However liked this one alot. Nice to watch and enjoyable. As an ex-mapmaker I know you put alot of time in the halflife maps. Hats off :)
Oh ye; I fly the blackops ship that the crazy guys flies. Now I can`t undock without thinking of the ieni mieni mutte scene with the miners; was brilliant.
All in all a great and refreshing change from the usual fanvids. Keep up the good work and cheers to all who helped out. -------------- Cleaning up wrecks others leave behind! Got to keep space clean! |

It's nice to see something so different in the video section of Eve-O. Great work. Actually this was the first time I found myself wanting Ambulation, even though it will only be in stations.
Loved the digital acting and the dialogues for the most part, especially the humour. Only thing I thought could be improved was the voice acting in terms of emotions. Everybody was staying pretty calm considering the stress of certain situations. Other than that, it was awesome.
Oh, and the gunnery department with the attention to detail of the 1400s reloading rounds was totally pimp.

Woah, now I wanted to leave a nice commentary but then I sat there and didn't what to write - how to express myself because I'm clearly stunned. I have had shivers and goose bumps at two scenes, I was like when seeing all the interior you made up, the cuts look seemingless like... EVE-Life 2, a perfect fusion, the timing in dialogues, ... everything well done.
This movie is pristine awesomeness. I crave for more *hint*

Ok first off... overall wonderful video that frankly puts a downer on me from ever making one because it would never compare to this.
But I gotta say the movie needs more action. As it went on I just kept getting the good lord get to the ending feeling. As someone on private forums said this is a 10 minute story dragged on for 40.
Again like I said wonderful movie, defiantly saved to be viewed again another time, but it does need more excitement to keep the viewer interested in the movie for the whole time.

The time and dedication involved to achieve such an engaging video is worthy of our deepest respect. You've taken a universe which we all enjoy, and put into your film some of the elements that touch us deeply. Even the deadpan acting of crewmembers having their ships falling apart around them was hillarious... it struck me that they had been through situations such as this before and had ridden them out successfully, even if the odds looked hopeless. I was laughing so hard by the time the black ops battleship arrived near the end, that tears were streaming down. Thank you sir, if not for the entertainment, than for the tribute to Eve as a whole. You obviously love the game very much.

Hello all o/
I am constantly coming back and reading this thread so don't think I'm ignoring anyone, I just don't tend to post too much in general I can't say anything that I haven't said already, so I'll re-iterate my deepest thank you's for all the kind words!
I've just had an fantastic interview with Urban and Winterblink for the Warp Drive Active podcast on Sunday, talking about Clear Skies and addressing a fair few of the questions and comments raised here, so that should be worth a listen if you are interested I noted a bit of a discussion about the film style and actors and stuff a couple of pages back, but I wasn't expecting everyone to like it - each to their own and all that. I'm staggered by the percentage of people who do like it to be honest, I'm flattered and honoured and running out of nice words to use in general!
To be clear, we all have absolutely no training or experience whatsoever in acting or filmmaking before Clear Skies, so I think we did pretty darn good The driver behind CS was me and my friends having some fun and me having a creative outlet. It wasn't to try and wtfpwn the Eve video circles or show off or anything like that. Any subsequent stuff I do will be under the same driver 
If this has raised the bar for eve film making then that's an honour I'm proud to carry - I want other people to pick this up and run with it (with perhaps less rotating cameras and British accents or whatever ) My website will have all the info and notes I have on the Half Life 2 SDK to save others from having to go through the 6 months of pain I did sussing it all out, which should speed up development time. I'm just one person, I imagine there are film-making teams out there now plotting and scheming their blockbusters who will complete them in less than half the time, and I for one welcome it and look forward to their films. Machinima 2.0 here we come!
Oh and before I go, a big thank you to the people who have donated ISK to me, that's such a warm and generous gesture, I'm truly touched especially as a sizeable one came from a group of people whom I'm ostensibly enemies with! I salute and thank you all, this is a very good day

absolutely awweeeesommmeeeee, you sir, rock!!!!!!!!! So the voice acting wasn't 'perfect' but it was bloody damn good, especially for unpaid standard peeps. Made me LOLs at several points in the film. Irish dude was highly entertaining :) If i had lots of r/l isk i'd probably have you and the dire lauthis guy kidnapped to work 24/7 on eve vids for me in my 'mom's basement' 
CCP, for the love of god take note of this thread and PLEASEEE put more focus on the parts of ambulation that will allow more of these kinds of films to be made, rather than wasting time on the generic typical 'Avatar Dance' feature most MMORPG creators seem to adore. ---

Excellent
The best machinima I have ever seen. The integration of HL2 and EVE is flawless. A non-EVE+HL2 player would not be able to see that the graphics came from two different games.
The plots fits well for an EVE pilot doing his own stuff.

Having just watched that in it's entirety, i'd like to ask for the last 40 minutes of my life back.
I watched it with a friend of mine who doesn't play eve, and we both agreed it was lazily edited, poorly written and the acting was even worse.
However i should say, and this is with 4 and a half years studying media, that the technical aspects were nicely done, but this doesn't make up for the cast being wooden, uncharismatic and obviously better suited to being behind the 'camera' than in front of it.
The producer should, if serious about the project, get in other people to write the script and act in it so that he can focus on producing.

I got to the '4 years studying media' bit then lol'd and stopped. He already mentioned several times in this thread that the voice actors were not professionals, simply friends/other eve players, and that was why it wasn't the same kind of quality you'd expect paying $40 for an over-the-counter typem RPG w/voice acting. ---

[text of EVEmail just sent]
Sir,
Please accept this 30 million ISK towards covering the repairs to the Clear Skies (Just transfered separately to your personal account).
You have brought a huge smile to this 45 year old's face (who happens to be a hard SF buff and very critical indeed of SF related movies in general) and you've made me fall in love with EVE all over again, just when the Bogs of Grind were about to suck me under in boredom. I congratulate you on a superb episode of Red Dwarf, amongst other delights.
This work of yours dovetails neatly into an ongoing weekly lunch discussion I have with a close friend who's both a movie buff and a head writer on the Deus Ex 3 project at Eidos; where my argument is that the current state of the art puts us on the cusp of a high quality indie movie revolution entirely done by very small teams on micro-budgets. You just immensely bolstered my position and I will be bringing this wonderful machinima film to his attention.
Kudos, and thank you so very much.
~ Bren

This film is not only raising the bar for eve movies from the standard fare of "splosions to music" but also its heightend the whole machinima standard, not since Red vs Blue have I seen such talent. I have dreamt in the past of this same HL2 + EvE hybrid style of film making and its possibilities, But thought it too hard for anyone to actually make it happen. What a delightfull surprise  A good script, nicely done camera work, and possibly the best lip syncing and facial animation Ive ever seen done in any machinima to date, (even better than HL2's ingame cutscenes) it really makes the chars come alive.
Thank you for making my day (And possibly every other EvE Fan out there!)
I await the next episode with baited breath.

You dusted off a hardly used forum alt for this?
You play Eve-Online. You need to get a life, before you can start asking for it back.
And four years studying media... I'd like to see your credentials to make such a claim. Surely you have to have written something in that time to satisfy a class requirement. Perhaps even made a film or two that we could peruse.
To the film-maker: That was perfect, and by far, one of the better eve-video's I've seen to date. Excellent storyline; much more than the usual "pew pew pew" stuff that abounds around here. Well Done.

[...] EVE has a potential to sweep franchise of any previous SciFi Game to Video/Film. We are talking about almost infinite number of possible episodes. The story-line, and content provided, is much deeper than anything I have seen.
A potential gold mine for CCP and a smart producer. I would certainly buy EVE - the Series, where we are presented with different aspects of what it is like to live in New Eden, just think about all the Chronicles we have, each one can be a self contained episode.

Words fail me, brilliant hardly seems to be adequate enough to describe it. In one video you gave more depth to this game we all love than all the eve video's before it combined.
To CCP for the love of god this man has earned an all expenses trip to the fanfest with all the beer he can drink dont you think? Also I personally think you should think about adding him to your team, imagine what John could do with your resources behind him? Make this into a true series with monthly episodes etc? Seriously grab the bull by the horns here CCP and snap this guy up.
Brilliant work John, stunning brilliant work. Some ISK on it's way to you.

DO WANT! 
A little constructive criticism though:
1) Use of primary character models from HL2 was a bit annoying. I know how much a pita it is to do proper skinning, but it does detract from the video.
2) Why were the crew on Raven wearing gasmasks? yes, I know thats the combine model. Little details like that just irk me :P
3) The captain/crew were a bit too unemotional w/ the whole ship dying around them.
4) If the command bridge got blown to smithereens, how was it repaired so quickly?
5) I wish Widows were really that cool
These are minor points, mind you. I simply bring them up so that when/if/maybe you do make a Clear Skies II, that you can improve upon your already excellent production!

Or you could try to rebut his points, right?
Clear Skies is AFAIK the first EVE machinama and in that respect it's amazing. It's also a groundbreaking technical feat to combine the HL2 and EVE engines so seamlessly. However, it is not perfect, nor is it the first machinima. There are hundreds of other Machinima out there, some much better, some much worse than Clear Skies. The way some of you talk you sound like a bunch of fundamentalists defending the bible.
Aside from Tomiko's comment about wanting the time he spent watching back (I wouldn't go anywhere near that far) the technical skill apparent in this production is much greater than the artistic skill. That's not to say it's not a passable production especially when considered it's amateur work. Still there are lots of great amateur films and machinimas, there are amateur conventions that feature amazing work. Thus claiming that it's to be classed as perfection despite its failings because it isn't professional isn't a valid argument. Ad hominem attacks on those trying to provide constructive criticism (eg well lets see you do better) also prove nothing about the original work. The critic might not have done better personally, but I have seen better amateur machinama than this.
I used to play a certain console game 4-5 years ago. In the community very few videos existed and few players owned video capture cards or had the technical knowledge to make a film. I bought a capture card, filmed a few games, then clumsily pieced clips together using default Windows Move Maker templates with poorly synched and timed music in the background. It was awful. My first ever editing job and it was terrible. I didn't realize exactly how much so at the time, but pulling it up...yeah. Bad. But I was praised up and down for it. Why? Because nobody had seen something like that in the community before. Later on when better montages came along people finally admitted to themselves how bad it really was. Now however I have learned much more about video editing and can produce a much better video. I learned from the experience instead of stubbornly refusing to see my mistakes.
I'd like to address the creators directly and say that you've certainly created something great here, but if you strive to learn and improve the next could be brilliant and the one after that amazing.

Everyone grab your nearest locator agent and repeatedly pod this guy.
Or you could try to rebut his points, right?
Clear Skies is AFAIK the first EVE machinama and in that respect it's amazing. It's also a groundbreaking technical feat to combine the HL2 and EVE engines so seamlessly. However, it is not perfect, nor is it the first machinima. There are hundreds of other Machinima out there, some much better, some much worse than Clear Skies. The way some of you talk you sound like a bunch of fundamentalists defending the bible.
Defending the bible ? Hmmm... I think we got a new target ! 
Originally by: Janus Duo
Aside from Tomiko's comment about wanting the time he spent watching back (I wouldn't go anywhere near that far) the technical skill apparent in this production is much greater than the artistic skill. That's not to say it's not a passable production especially when considered it's amateur work. Still there are lots of great amateur films and machinimas, there are amateur conventions that feature amazing work. Thus claiming that it's to be classed as perfection despite its failings because it isn't professional isn't a valid argument.

It's a start for an eve online machinima contest. So far, it's the best Perfect ? No, I agree. But saying "I want my 40 minutes back" deserves some rude comments.

It's one of the first! Praising all around! If we all go "the montage and cutting sucked, voices sucked, hire actors, you wasted your time, etc", even though the producer says it's his first try, the next guy would give up even before starting, seeing how high expectations are. So people cheer a lot, because it's new and never done before and also to encourage future similar productions.

Pretty useless advice, since they probably know it already, being their first video, having no experience, etc. But it's a start, and there's no need for these kind of comments. It's human nature to improve on its own, and doing 'better' next time!
Bottom line: screw you, "i want my 40 minutes back" people, and to the producer and his crew, good work, move on to next episode!

Well we're almost on the same page, I'm just saying answering rude comments with ruder comments doesn't prove anything, it's just fighting fire with fire. Still when politicians of today stoop to debates resembling some of the debate here I guess I can't really expect something else.

Of course and I'm not against a bit of praise, I'm against all the lashing out at those that have anything slightly negative to say despite the amount of praise they give it as well. If you think the voice acting is amazing explain why, those against it are stating what they didn't like about the voice acting.
I mean I found a few negative things about this film but I am still greatly inspired. People don't need to assume such extreme positions.

Just because something is obvious doesn't mean it's not worth saying. At least it's different than the 20 "OMFG amazing stupendous best movie EVAR" posts that you don't seem to have a problem with.

Extreme positions eh? "I want those 40 minutes back" ... isn't that an extreme position ? And yet you went to defend the troll. A guy who posts [the video was] "lazily edited, poorly written and the acting was even worse" regarding a first release, eve-groundbreaking production. "People don't need to assume such extreme positions" .... Then defend the innovator, not the low life sad mother ****** who spews crap from his high horse.

um.. excuse me?
what about "I want my 40 minutes back" isn't extreme.
By the way I watched it again I saw tops 5 scenes with rotating. By far 80% of the cuts were very traditional.
He never breaks the 180 rule.
He uses great staging, good examples of who to use close ups, and extreme closeups.
A decent montage.
He wrote a plot that doesn't just tell one story, it opens up at least 4 other untold stories, this shows great writing as it all feel natural. I for one can't wait to see some of the extra characters backstories and to figure out what he meant by "hard times"
I see no issues with his use of cuts, the music fits in nicely and doesn't overpower the voice acting.
the voice acting feels natural, better than acting in sci-fi channel movies :P
Sure you can make negative feedback, but "I want my 40 mins back" isn't feedback, it's a slap in face.
Or is this the whole "I don't like it because it's cool" argument? As a person that doesn't like a lot of main stream things, I never use this excuse, I don't like things because I don't like them. I never add "I'm not going to jump on the band wagon" what does other peoples opinions have to do with anything? It's about feedback and giving tips, teaching, and sharing tricks. And sometimes you got to say something mean, like This scene could of been done a lot better. but don't make it your opinion, make it a suggestion.
Which reminds me can I suggest making 10 minute shorts? maybe even 5 minute ones?
You know, little sci-fi story, something fun, like a sunday comic.
hell make them even shorter if you can get your point across :)
maybe a 1 min video that has a start, lead up, and a punch line.
Of course these would be harder for the non-eve community to get but who cares :P

Stop trying to cover for the unprofesional arse who has no friends. you can tell he has no friends because he brought his "friends" into his own review.
what if you read a review for a movie that started with "well me and my friend watched it"
And what the hell is wrong with the characters? wooden? well If 95% of the viewers feel a connection with the main character, feel for him, and wonder about his past and such, guess what, he isn't wooden, he is wooden in his opinion.

Cast being wooden ? They're computer generated for ****'s sake! Uncharismatic ? What did you expect ? Bruce Willis ? They're COMPUTER GENERATED people!
Or maybe he means the dialogue. I personally found it extremely funny, nice accents and pretty well synced with the character's graphic models.
The story-line ... yes, maybe the "get a contract that turns out it's a trap" idea is a bit overused in movies...

Yea! Someone wants to discuss the film instead of hurling insults!
I went back and watched some scenes and you're right the rotating isn't used 80% of the time. Unfortunatly from the start of the first scene until the end of the opening credits the camera hardly stops spinning, zooming in and out quickly, and rotating. Guess that first impression threw me off (as well as made me feel a bit dizzy.)
Interesting you bring up the 180 degree rule. In the rest of the film I completely agree but watch the opening scene and tell me which side RJ and the mechanic are consistently on.
I did like lots of the tracking shots though. The shot of JR fleeing the bridge was intense, Smith and JR walking down the corridor, and the tracking shot from the bridge to the guns introducing the ammo discussion scene is great.
The story isn't that bad. I did think the jokes were great though. Dialogue was often great as well, it was just a few out of place voice actors and some of the overall plot that threw me off. I think that the Raven pilot seemed a bit detatched from the whole situation of his certain demise at the end there, and JR made things sound a little too good vs. evil type of thing when it was really just business as usual.
I didn't like the voice pitch for the shuttle pilot. Seems like it should be deeper pitched. The actual acting isn't bad though. Sauls voice grates on my I don't know why. It sounds like he has a cold. Didn't like the Raven pilot sounds kinda whiney for a greybeard. He didn't seem very threatening, just creepy. Smith could be a bit more threatening and mysterious as far as the voice acting goes as well. Dialogue and plot is pretty good though.
Perhaps it's not so much the voice acting I dislike as the casting. Some voices just don't seem to fit the roles.
All the CG characters acting is amazing though, especially JR. Very well animated.

Quote: Yea! Someone wants to discuss the film instead of hurling insults!
didn't you start with that? just saying :P
anyways whatever you said before you actually brought up feedback! yay!. Telling someone what is wrong with their work is the opposite of saying "give me my 40 mins back" because telling someone for instance "the shuttle voice didn't fix, or even "gasp" sucked, means you think the film was wroth your 40 mins and in fact is wroth far more.

Well that's eve's camera control for you. You didn't make it clear you were talking about the scenes outside in space. which yes I have to agree have quite a bit of spinning. but he didn't take this into an engine he just used fraps with eve, so I can forgive him for this one :P
but yeah it's zoom rotate out, rotate, rotate, zoom rotate in. But this only goes for the part with the intro, I was comments before about the camera with the character scenes, I didn't see any overuse of any camera angles.
However he or should I say, you OP, show that you can take great shots without this, maybe if you saved the rotating zoom in for dramatic effect? Also I must assume you already know the hold left mouse button, aim, hold right button zoom trick... right?
Also there is basically no panning in eve so you worked well with what you had :)
Quote: Interesting you bring up the 180 degree rule. In the rest of the film I completely agree but watch the opening scene and tell me which side JR and the mechanic are consistently on.
It's got a couple of issues, it could be reworked, but it doesn't come off as lazy.

Don't forgot the seamless shot going form space into the bridge.

It wasn't the main story that made it interesting it was the characters. the story is a wonderful yet basic Sci-Fi standard. However the settings and all the unexplained bits made it interesting.
Quote: I think that the Raven pilot seemed a bit detatched from the whole situation of his certain demise at the end there, and JR made things sound a little too good vs. evil type of thing when it was really just business as usual.
I don't think he came off as good vs. Evil, I felt like JR was being evil, and he knew it but didn't care. You tried to kill me, I'm ****ed, I hate running away, and I'm going to kill you.
but that's me :)

You dusted off a hardly used forum alt for this?
You play Eve-Online. You need to get a life, before you can start asking for it back.
And four years studying media... I'd like to see your credentials to make such a claim. Surely you have to have written something in that time to satisfy a class requirement. Perhaps even made a film or two that we could peruse.
To the film-maker: That was perfect, and by far, one of the better eve-video's I've seen to date. Excellent storyline; much more than the usual "pew pew pew" stuff that abounds around here. Well Done.

Originally by: Janus Duo I think that the Raven pilot seemed a bit detatched from the whole situation of his certain demise at the end there.
Ok, while I can to a certain extent agree with you, I feel that here he managed to capture the essence of EvE.
Imagine you are yourself caught in a gatecamp, or whatever (let's use this scene as an example), the enemy stops firing and offers you a ransom or you have a short break from the firing. You as a human being will be suddenly relieved and you have a spot of time to relax as such and you try to barter a deal for your life...
Well all of a sudden after a few (granted very few but nonetheless) words the enemy opens fire on you again, surely you wouldn't really have time to say much or even be surprised before the round hits you.
This is what clinched it for me, the sheer essence of the game and acting was very tight for my tastes and I believe that here we have some non-manufactured sci-fi crap that was made out of love, not for the bucks and as such nowhere near as ott as some films I have recently seen.
I mean seriously I frequently prefer amateur shinies over professional crap.
This was amateur shinies on a shoestring budget, just like CCP in the early days and look how great they have become... ----------------------------

leaving out the posters name in your quote will do that to you.
Yeah, I couldn't be bothered to look up the guy that said it's name. Oops. Well looks like you just got a taste of the random flaming that's going on too. It's vicious I tells ya! I just wanted to discuss what could be improved in the film, not fence with fanboys! haha
I think one of the big hurdles to making this film was that it wasn't a comedy like most machinima is. Thus when a voice doesn't fit you don't just laugh at it. There's much less suspension of disbelief and realism required in a comedy.

Very impressed that someone took the time to make something like this. I downloaded it thinking it would just be another typical Eve fraps movie. During a commercial of a show on TV I decided to start watching and when the show on the TV came back on, it got muted. :)
Was it perfect? No. But it was perfect enough for me to watch it over some "professionally" made show and far more perfect than anything I could do. I congratulate you on making a great video that captured Eve's essence.
I can only hope you do more.

That was awesome! Thank you! 
And if I can make one (hopefully constructive) criticism then, like a few others, I sometimes "missed" some of the dialogue, because it was drowned out by the background sound effects. This might be something you don't notice when editing it, as you already "know" what the person is saying.
Might I suggest you get a small group of QA guys to watch the prerelease and can point out such instances to you so you can tweak the voice volume?
Asside from that, I sooo hope CCP will invite you to the FanFest where we can watch the debut of a new episode.  Aaron Rex - Remember the Scordite... |

Crikey, lets keep it friendly on here 
I'm not going to get involved in any heated discussion, I'll restate my case that it was by me and my mates for our fun and enjoyment, it wasn't anywhere near expected to explode like this. No, it's not perfect, this is my first ever attempt at anything like this - in fact I improved as the film was made. The first bit I did was the intro sequence in the repair dock, so yes the camera does go a bit all over the place because I was finding my feet. The character animation was ropey too. Also, the external shots were all filmed "live" by my right hand on the mouse so yes they can be wobbly, and you are limited by what you can do with the camera. I did my best with what I had though - at one point I had WD40 on my mouse hand and mouse mat to make a camera pull-out as smooth as possible The sound balancing was a nightmare, but I know how to make life easier for me now by changing something much earlier in the process. I can speed up choreo editing by having a library of gestures and faceposes, and tap into the subsequent HL2 episodes for more gestures.
In other words, yes, I will take all I've learned forwards into whatever I do next

gj also i think you forgot the girl (the station docking manager ) in your credits

yeah that was amazing, gets the imagination going.
Way back in 2003 (in my ignorance) i thought eve would be just like that, ships and crews that toggle an array of equipment. Now i know that technically speaking internet infrastructure and computers are still infantile and incapable to produce this gaming experiance. One day this will happen tho, i have no doubt.
Who knows, in 5 - 10 years time, eve could be upgraded to support this kinda stuff. Before anyone says this would compromise game mechanics, well i have to say that ANYTHING can be designed around, ANYTHING can be made to fit.
Anyway, better stop dreaming, 
Great vid, well done guys.

Superb!
... and to those pointing out its technical flaws - you missed the point on so many levels.
If we wanted to watch a professionally-made video we'd simply switch on the TV.
Its the very fact that the OP has prodcued something without any media-film making training or voice acting lessons that makes this piece of art so appealing to the masses.
It wasn't made by a Ridley Scott, it was made by someone like me, except he had the dedication and story-telling talent to put his vision into practice... just for the fun ot it!
The Mona Lisa isn't exactly a great painting imho and to my eye is flawed in so many ways athestically, yet its a classic... why? The point of these home-made vids isn't just about how clinically polished the final product looks once its done, its about the person who made it, why he made it, and recognising the vision and dedication that person put into it using the talent and limited resources he had at his disposal.

Three thoughts:

2. If Mr. Rourke was given some professional support, perhaps it could help speed the next episode along?
3. No matter how much we want more, DON'T RUSH THE MAN. Let him take as much time as he needs. Having said that, anything that speeds things up, without rushing things, is good.

Let me just say I downloaded the movie with 1 page. I watched it with 3 pages. I am only now finding words to express how much I love this film. Holy crap man, you got mad skills. You win. I cant wait for season to start.

i thought about doing something like this years ago, but never knew how to do it - so i gave up before i started, the transition from interior to exterior was excellent, the characters speech matching thier facial expressions, also excellent. the most difficult parts of the project, done to perfection.
and yeah - i'd watch that weekly, but... it would take months of nonstop work, maybe years to produce an entire series. but meh... go for it guys =)

Great work Ian. I liked your technical and creative choices, and you have achieved already a lot in writing, staging and editing. Don't you stop now!
I am very critical when watching movies or TV series and can easily be put off by poor acting, dialogues or writing (very common even in professional productions), but this time I was in awe and excitement for the entire 40 minutes from the unfolding story and great ambience created by the wise selection of music and sound effects. I noted where you had limited resources but wasn't distracted, so kudos for creating such a balanced cinematic experience!
Some suggestions you might want to consider if you choose to continue with one or more regular episodes in the future (which I would very much welcome):
- take special care in the voice acting to shed the accents as much as possible - create custom texture skins for the models (much less effort than remodeling, but adds greatly to believability) - add external subtitles of the dialogue for the non native - embed women in the storyline  - write and edit for 20 minute episodes (much less effort for you as well as the viewers) - setup a website and use crowdsourcing for some of the tasks (talented fans will be eager to help you out with anything 2d or 3d for the credits fame) And even if you choose to not to explore this path further, you can rest assured that you guys made history in the EVE Universe, creating the first machinima that was actually entertaining, funny and well though out. And that's no small feat.

I know it's frustrating when someone seems intent on trolling but really, there's nothing better you can do than just ignore troll-posts. And, who knows, the rest of us _could_ be wrong.

I disagree. Constructive criticism is helpful for any artist and should be encouraged and discussed. Trolling and flamebait should be cited and attacked or ignored (depending on one's tastes) for what it is.

Well here's another 'mad props' to toss onto the page count. There are a lot of EVE vids out there, and some really good stuff going back to the beginning, but this....well this is beyond em'. This is a wonderful treat; eve fiction come to life.
Now if we could get Biff and company to get on the evolution vid and get it done, it would be a perfect EVE world, now wouldn't it? 
I look forward to ambulation more than ever, as it not only gives us new things to do and see in EVE, it gives our film makers even more tools to tell interesting tales. (I'm assuming, of course, that CCP gives enough camera control capability with ambulation to DO this kind of stuff.  )

It was very nice, enjoyed it, but one thing for you to consider next time:
Tune up the voice levels and tune down the music a bit. For the whole movie I sat there moving the volume up/down between talk/action, which is really really annoying to do for over half an hour..
Also, you might want to cut down the dialogue a bit, the three characters get a bit predictable after a while. Maybe it's an australian thing or whatever, but the jokes are extremely dry, which is funny for about 15mins, then you start to think "bla bla bla, get to the next section please". It's just passages to get on with the story, and thus, it eats up alot of unnecessary time.
So basicly.. nice story, end makes you want to see more, nice editing, non-streamline music is always good, nice humor, but.. way too much chitchat, and the volume part drags down the overall rating by alot.
Looking forward to the next part.

Edited by: John Rourke on 02/06/2008 11:18:48 Yes, the sound balancing is one of the main things I'll be concentrating on improving, it can indeed be difficult to make out what they are saying. I did a lot of it on headphones and of course I know the damn script off by heart now so it was difficult for me to get any perspective. Having watched it on a few other people's systems it can indeed be hard to make out It's about the only thing I'm disappointed in but it's a shade to late to do anything about it now except say I'll do better next time
I don't know about subtitles, best I can do is upload the script or something - it won't be word for word but it's close.
-An ever more staggered JR
PS and the dialogue, well, it was a pilot episode so there was a lot of backstory to get out and characters to build I guess part 2 can hit the ground running....

Exactly. Half the people I know aren't looking forward to ambulation...I think this video has changed their minds a bit
And dude, great fugging video. The best I have seen. It's got humor, it's got action, it's got a story, and it's also got HL2....can't go wrong with that
ps, hurry up and make another video.....I'll give ya my next officer spawn loots if you make another one

This video is great. I loved the "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" decision on which miner to attack. 
I have tried hard to think of a negative criticism, which may help you if you read this post and it wasnÆt easy. I would say that the interiors possibly give the impression of looking a little too low-tech for such an advanced universe. I do understand that you took a more mechanised appearance for the interior of the mimitar ship and you can see the difference between that and the more polished and brighter appearance of the raven. I still think that the interiors were well thought out and very good.
What you need to now is produce a series of 10 videos since your pilot "episode" is so well appreciated.

Great video bud, better than most TV shows tbh.
Ambulation is fecked now, its never going to be as cool as your video so its already set for fail. If i was CCP i'd be thinking about how i can bring you onboard to do some new PR videos, cos it knocked most of there stock off the undock ramp.
I hope you can find the time for more. Props again.

Originally by: John Rourke Edited by: John Rourke on 02/06/2008 11:18:48 Yes, the sound balancing is one of the main things I'll be concentrating on improving, it can indeed be difficult to make out what they are saying. I did a lot of it on headphones and of course I know the damn script off by heart now so it was difficult for me to get any perspective. Having watched it on a few other people's systems it can indeed be hard to make out It's about the only thing I'm disappointed in but it's a shade to late to do anything about it now except say I'll do better next time
I don't know about subtitles, best I can do is upload the script or something - it won't be word for word but it's close.
-An ever more staggered JR
PS and the dialogue, well, it was a pilot episode so there was a lot of backstory to get out and characters to build I guess part 2 can hit the ground running....
Don't take my criticism as too 'negative' by the way, it was constructive thoughts. 
It's an awsome video, just hoping I could help you with how it was to watch it. The 'dry' humor I mentioned is the bickering between them, the daily argument thingy. Most have a certain dialogue with their friends and to them it's natural but to others it might be weird.
Overall this is still a 10/10, best EVE video I seen so far.

personally i liked the chitchat, we swamped by fight scenes. Actually having the diologue was the novel concept here, and i thought the humour was excellent, well scripted. Its the kind of arguments my mates have before jumping into a situation.
It reminded me of Red-Dwarf antics which is endlessly funny

Now get to work on episode 2. Remember, we'll be watching you closely. We expect many many hours of logged in time getting new exterior shots. You don't want to make us angry do you?

A great work, very well done!
English is not my first language, but the voice acting was very good, the jokes and memes are well done.
I'd like to stress one thing (it has been already mentioned): I was constantly changing my output volume because the music was a bit loud compared to the dialogues.
Well done!

To CCP, give the man his Tribal Tempest.
-Galan
@CCP - Please DO give this man a Tribal Tempest. Everyone here knows he deserves it!!! I felt like i was watching a cool new sci-fi show pilot lol! It even made me log into EVE again to spread the word.
Once again...
Tribal Tempest: Please do give this man one. He deserves it.
Edit: Its like a commercial for what EVE should be like! Give us a gunnery man, and an engineering man in ambulation. (Maybe our other 2 Char slots) EVE 2.0 where One man is Command skilled, one is engineering, and one is Gunnery.

I do really really love this. Its slightly rough edges add to the character.
My favourite parts, which caused me to smile or laugh;
- The 'evil' caldari shuttle watching them leave - The sofa on the bridge (lol) - The black ops watching the miners - The interior look of the Tempest and Raven, one being 'rusty' the other 'corporate' ;) - The moment he realised the windows have been cleaned really made me laugh - 'What the hell is that' when the black ops uncloaks
Really well done at crafting something genuinely entertaining. That takes talent.

Heard about it in corp chat and downloaded it. Watched it once and then again and yet again. It is superb. About the only minor thing is that at one point when talking money 'quid' is used instead of ISK but its a very minor point compared to the fact that the whole video IS a TV show and one that leaves you waiting in anticipation for the next episode. Can't add anything more to the accolades you've already garnered from others other than apart from a Tribal Tempest you've earned yourself a place in EVE history.

That was actually a bit of an in joke because the graphics engine bloody changed 2 weeks into filming! So I had to rebuild 26 bridge sets and reshoot the lot, and redo all of the montage and every other bit of exterior footage I already had gggggrrrrrr So JR has undocked into this amazingly pretty new world and he's all "Eh? WTF?" and puts it down to the windows being cleaned 
Can't believe it's front page on the login screen ker-screengrab!

They're implemented via a tool from the SDK, although aligning phonemes next to the voice track and making it semi-believable isn't as easy as it seems, not to mention build the props and animate the characters...
I wasn't into the fiction bit at all, but I can appreciate the hard work that's gone into this. If I had to criticize anything, it's Breen's VA not matching the character even remotely. The others worked somewhat.

That was superb, truly excellent work. I had not downloaded any vids in years since everyone seemed to haven taken the same formulaic look how much we rule propaganda vids of pointless explosions. Using the tools available in game and some incredibly slick work with HL2 (and level editors and many other techniques I don't understand) you have managed to add another layer to the eve vid. I couldn't fault your vid in any way even the semi cheesy ending line worked perfectly. You managed to make a journey of just 10 jumps with two small scale fights into a gripping saga! Brilliant work and I only hope the next episode is with us in less than two years!

When is the next one due out? I would like to support this and donate a Fleet Tempest if you will use it instead of the regualr Tech 1 Tempest. Hell I will even throw in the mods and Rigs if you will mention how you got them in the next movies to come.
Give you a true pvp setup with a decent tank.. Hit me up I am online everyday. I look forward to the next one.

i just finished watchin this and i simply dont have the words this was easily the best "ever" EVE movie i watched,and the most unconventional,and i watched a lot of them im looking forward to another part of Clear Skies,i really want to know what will happen 
about the modernizing attempt on the tempest bridge... it looks nice but... the ship is basically the home of the crew,it should have a more comforting,cluttered look this way it looks so empty ------------------------------------------------ When you get to the end of your journey,everything that really matters is the journey itself. |

Fantastic
Mr Rourke I lift my hat to you sir - very, very enjoyable, and probably one of the best new customer enticements that ccp have ever had.
I was particularly impressed that with 2 1/2 years in the development, you delayed publication til you had gone back and reshot most if not all of the shots of ships using Trinity's engine.
If ccp doesn't get you a tribal issue then it's a very poor show.
Thanks again, clever, funny, well put together and with a nice smidge of adrenaline.

Edited by: Derboff on 02/06/2008 22:32:17 There a three things I thought I would never see.
1) An Eve vid which was more then techno music with flashing lights
2) An Eve vid which shows what I mainly do in eve. Mission running with friends for backup
3) A thread where I was forced posted with my main
Because of 1 and 2.. I am compelled to do 3. The vid takes the essence of the eve experience for us players and puts it out there. I am an convert and will be watching closely. Not for the sequel, after hearing you on WDA like you a fear for your safety, but watching the web for the response.
Good luck in all you do. And no matter what anyone says be proud that as of this moment you have not only entertained vast numbers but inspired this individual to look to the skys for more then the odd star.
Thank you

I'm still gobsmacked by all this. I'm stupendously chuffed as well. Yes, CS2 is now on the drawing board, now I know exactly what "by popular demand" means lol
I hope other video teams are looking at this now and rubbing their hands going "we can do that" or "we can do *better* than that", because I personally want to see this Machinema 2.0 revolution happen with all the crazy talented people out there 
I have the original script with all its annotations pinned to my study corkboard for posterity, I'll take it down and rewrite the electronic copy ASAP so it is as word for word as I can get it, then I'll put the DOC file up on Eve files for people to do translations. It's the least I can do for such an awesome community!
I'll provide the generic template maps when I can (the website is taking longer than I thought because generating the content got sidetracked by all the ideas for pt2 busting out my head!). They are rough and ready because they were just used for filming purposes - there are "too many light styles" errors all over the place and some of them might even leak, but hey, it's a start.
Regarding the bridge design screenies I saw, here's a quick thought on it: 1) I will be re-using the sets I already have for continuity purposes 2) That bridge is a great looking early design in general though 3) It's (way) too big, too clean, and too un-lived in 4) the floor and railing textures will cause horrendous moire patterning when filmed 5) you can't have glass in the windows, it destroys the bluescreening process 6) it's also too big because I had to match the dimensions up as close as possible to the in-game Tempest to do the transition zoomer shots between EVE and HL2 (those were done frame by frame ugh)
But I do like your style, and pt2 will need a couple more sets knocking up... More news as and when, I'll be tapping up some of the offers in here for: Set design Model reskinning (not the main cast but the Breen character as I like his gesture set, and some of the basic human models) Sound effects sourcing Stunt pilots. Lots of stunt pilots 
Please don't deluge me with offers just yet, the need for this stuff is several weeks away at best, but if anyone good at reskinning wants to kick off their work I'm interested in seeing samples! I reserve the right to say "no thanks" and not get flamed to death If that will upset you, don't send it

Ok now that I got you completely snarling at me, I am kidding!
It was great! I loved the lines, the dialog was the win. Sarcasm where needed, laughs where needed, and anger where needed. I was just surprised it took only one volley to take out the Raven after the Ewar ship had done it's thing. They had to be almost out of shields, but DAMNATION and HELLFIRE spit from the guns of that ship!!! Took out the armor AND structure in one volley? OUCH!!! The guns loading... I so see that on board the ships as there could not be anyone doing the loading manually as the shells would be just way too heavy! Torps and other missiles too!
Just awesome, and I am so looking forward to the next episodes! There is some serious backstory coming our way!
Woot!!!

Are there CODECs needed? Going to see if a newer version of media player helps.

That was not only the best EVE movie I've ever seen, it's one of the best machinima films I've ever seen. Simply incredible. The mix of HL2 and Eve was really cool, and you executed it flawlessly. Seeing Barney and Dr. Breen with accents was kinda weird, but I'm not complaining 
Top work, sir. I hope there's a part 2. Somebody get this man a special ship! Now!

Can you please mail me in-game when you release the script? I'm working on making English subtitles for the film as quite a few people seem to be having trouble understanding what the characters are saying. However, I am running into a few problems, particularly when Solomon speaks, I can't understand him half of the time. (where's that accent from anyway?) Having the script would make my work much easier in that regard. I'm almost done with the subtitles, I just need to do the last few minutes and fix up the gaps I have left behind.

Although if you do make another please when filming the characters angle the camera down lower so the eyes are in the top 3rd of the screen, not bang in the middle, unless its is for effect.

Excellent job John! Although I agree that the camera use was a bit rough, like hard to follow with eyes/dizziness cause sometimes, but I can tell you this: I felt as if only 10 mins passed in 40! that means a lot for you, when PROFESSIONAL holywood tv shows dont feel that fast!
I am curious, and I am sure everyone else is too - what kind of job do you do for living so far? Perhaps if you are interested, we the eve community can press CCP into hiring you, to do those monthly or bi-monthly :P
Would be great having even 5-10 mins mini episodes, showing various stories of the galaxy, etc.

After reading some of the initial posts, I just went for the full download.  Saw it the first time during lunch at work, but couldn¦t wait to get back home and see it again on my 24" monitor.
Ahhh. It was well worth it, indeed. 
An absolutely amazing film, and by far the best one released from the EvE community so far.
I loved the humorous dialog, the well executed lip-sync, the plot, the integration and transitions between EvE and Half-Life 2, yeahh, EVERYTHING!!! I will recommend it to all I know, for a fresh glimps into the EvE world, with a touch of Half-Life 2. 
Thanks for taking the time to make it and sharing it with us all. Absolutely top notch.
I hope we see more of your work later, mate. 
Best regards,
Anni

You are the second person reporting the movie breaks... If it doesn't allow seeking most likely it got corrupted during the download. Which download mirror did you use ? What player are you playing it with ?

What is the exact size in bytes of the video on your disk ? It should be 476,008,510 bytes.
To check its integrity download Microsoft's FCIV utility (File Checksum Integrity Verifier - small file) --- download.microsoft.com
After you install it go to its folder and run FCIV clear_skies.wmv It should report 1c83572ab1614cdc932810c3966b6603 clear_skies.wmv
If it's anything different then your movie is corrupted. Redownload from the torrent or eve-kill.net (mirrors list)

Also, it would help if you remember which mirror you used, since we may have a fake/saboteur mirror

Just a shame it took you 2 years cas i want to see more of them, about an episode a day would be good thanks :)

I doubt you're actually reading all of this at this point, but some things I might suggest for next time.
A team of modellers can create models for the hl2 engine (rather than building things like guns out of blocks. It's much more efficient and would allow you higher detail while maintaining your current setup of live filming rather than stop motion which would be required if you advanced the scene too far in hammer to the point where the rendering couldn't keep up w/ the desired fps.
I'm sure you'd have no shortage of modellers if you asked. Honestly though, CCP should give you a job (or if you like your job, at least a budget to produce more).

I'm still dazed, like being shellshocked but in a nice way I couldn't believe the reception it got at about page 3 or 4, but thirty pages and a bunch of devs responding? I'm beginning to suspect people liked it, can I relax now? /emote faints

I am still reading every one of these, it'd be bloody rude of me to ignore you all with this level of response. I don't reply often and I think I'd explode if I tried to respond to everything but I'm definitely reading them. So are Charlie and Sol 
I appreciate what you are saying, thank you. I think going into that level of detail will be what close teams of people will do in the very near future, if they haven't in fact started already! However for various reasons it won't be a path I'll go down for part 2. I'll still just bodge things together (unless someone throws good model props at me out of the blue )

Bl**dy marvellous.
Even waded through the podcast thingy so I could hear of the genius behind this - your 2 year dedication (and that of your mates) is an astounding achievement.
oh, and short of wading thru the 30-odd pages of posts - anybody else noticed Charlie looking distinctly like The Edge? 
I hope you do another one, I hope you get some help(!) and above all I hope you don't listen to any w*nk*rs who seem to think what you did was easy - by the sounds of your interview you won't...

the word epic comes to mind very often after i saw this movie , and the fact that i liked this more than most tv shows kinda speaks volumes about how good this is 
also this should be on machinima.com , i think its the first time there's a machinima about eve or at least such a good one like this one Cap rechargers on PvP ships Suxxor monkey ballzorz!!

As has already been borne witness by 99.99999% of the eve community and the absolutely mental download figures from the mirror sites -this vid is total win!

Only thing that needs a bit of work is the camera moves, but hey better to have that less than perfect rather than dodgy characters and no laughs.

Amazing... Amazing i have just completed a 4 year university degree in game design using the Half Life 2 engine and what you and your friends have done there is fantastic, the movement, lip sync, expressions and the hidden things such as the wires moving in the background are the things that make this video so fantastic. I personally loved the Guns firing and the bridge being hit!
The voice acting was superb indeed and I think CCP should start up an award for the best eve films and you and your team being the winners 2008.
Award winning work indeed and I cannot wait for a 2nd. You have real talent and i hope CCP snap you up to work on a full length film maybe? I am more than sure the eve community would support that.
My hat goes off to you sir, truly top work indeed.
So whos for best eve video of the year awards?!

As has already been borne witness by 99.99999% of the eve community and the absolutely mental download figures from the mirror sites -this vid is total win!
CCP give the whole team involved a budget -they deserve it, and we want more episodes!
-oh and give john rourke the tribal pest w/full officer fit 
CCP - Give him his tribe pest plzkthx!

I could not find any posts from CCP mentioning anything to do with a tribe pest. A beer? What a failure gift for someone who has personally brought this level of positivity to the normally nothing-but-negative eve community.  
CCP: I'll buy your whole staff a few drinks ( I believe i already owe Mitnal a few) at the next fan fest in return for giving this man a tribe pest like he deserves.

That was terrific! I love how, after calling it the "wingy bit on top," the camera panned past the ship schematic calling it out as the primary heat sink.
I had a bit of a hard time understanding the funny accents...
One constructive criticism: I thought the humor was a bit too sanguine and the crew a bit too calm - if your ship is getting pounded into structure and you can't lock your enemy or warp out, wouldn't your characters get a bit of excitement and stress in their voices? Is it that they've been in that situation so many times in the past that it wasn't a big deal, or that they knew they had a clone waiting for them if they died?
I loved it, though. The guns loading must have taken alot of work, it was well worth it. The Eve sound effects for warping and jumping gave it a great atmosphere. CCP should definitely give you a shiny ship for this - the best free advertising they could ask for! Please do more.

i guess those fellas been through a lot, and one could call them battle hardened veterans. so for them it wouldn't be adequate for them to scream and fuss around. picard's crew were the same.

I'd prefer seeing River. (:
Xparky, I got VLC to work with the film using your subs. I also converted the subs to ssa, sub, smi, and ass formats. VLC worked with all but the smi format. I could upload a zip file with all the working formats, but all people need is to set their VLC Preferences to match this picture: subs_preferences.png
Then, people would need to rename your "Clear_Skies_English_Subtitles.srt" file to "Clear_Skies.srt" because it helps if the subs file matches the name of the main video (minus the extension). Then, drop the "Clear_Skies.srt" file into the same directory, or folder, as "Clear_Skies.wmv", play the video and they should have subs.
They can just put the location of "Clear_Skies_English_Subtitles.srt" into "use subtitle file" too. But, my way makes it faster for VLC users to read subtitle files in the future. __ Rorqual AKA Mega Maid

That's exactly how my prefs read out but the subtitles stop working at "Try to quell your surprise, Charlie" at 2:07.

Bah. I tried contacting you in game, but you weren't on. Ok, in my tests, I only verified that subs worked. Not, how long they worked for. When you said, "incompatible with VLC player (.srt format)", I thought subs weren't working at all.
Anyway, I confirm that they subs stop at "Try to quell your surprise, Charlie". However, your time markers are off in VLC. You and MPC have it at 00:02:17,150, but it's at 00:03:57 and change in VLC. In fact, MPC reads the file as 39:14 in length, but VLC has it as 39:17. So I suspect VLC a problem reading Windows Media files. Can you confirm?
The only solution I can think of is re-timing a separate srt for VLC. Let me download the latest VLC and see if the issue is still there.

I've reconsidered your request for automatic rescues from prerecorded messages begging for help, since you've helped me troubleshoot VLC's problems with the subs.

Hm. Well, the other sub formats still suffer the same problems in 6f. But, I can't be bothered to clear the settings after every use. (I wanna help, but I'm not a saint.)
I dunno what else to recommend other than re-timing the wmv for VLC. It's a shame really since it's obvious the problem is only with VLC.
Btw, mkv isn't a format as much a container for holding video and audio. Same for avi. I know I said, "convert to avi", but I meant xvid or divx.

Absolutely brilliant piece of art ! For those wondering about how calm the crew was during the attack : They're English -> Stiff upperlip etc :) I will gladly donate anything needed for a sequel, too bad I don't own a tribal tempest, otherwise you would have gotten mine :)
CCP, give this man his Tempest !

There's a link at the very top of the wiki page. Then, click on being considered for deletion, and you'll see:
Quote: Non-notable machinima production released only a week ago, with the only source being forums. Apparently it is "extremely popular" because the forum thread has had "hundreds of replies". Also, being linked to by the developers is not an indication of notability. Non-trivial coverage by independent, reliable, third-party sources is.
Evidently, it needs more reliable sources. ): Maybe the Galnet article would count as that's official CCP news. But, I think they are waiting for something from Gamespot or some nonsense. I doubt Digg or Slashdot would count. __ Rorqual AKA Mega Maid

Pure brilliance, absolute genius. The best Eve vid I have ever saw, I have been playing now for 3 and a half years and never saw any vid that has come close to your production. You Sir, should take a bow. I really hope your gonna do another vid with your unique format, quite simply you have taken Eve vid production to the next level.

Actually if you go by the backstory there are numerous ships still piloted the "traditional" way as illustrated in this movie. Pod pilots are the elite of the EVE universe and better able to control their ships, but I would assume that at any given point and time there are more ships being flown the normal way than through pod technology. But that's me descending into deep RP again which leads to me wanting to have more NPC traffic actually warping in and out rather than just appearing in space like god's own film splice special effect.
I considered raising this point myself... but I just KNEW someone else would have mentioned it... obviously i ended up right...
And on that note... why not allow us to fly ships in a more old timed manor... and then give us ship ambulation. XD

And the ability to invite others to our ships, hold them hostage for ransom. Also allow to suicide oneself, so if they don't pay ransom they can suicide at risk of losing the skill points learned since they left the pod (so suicidees who ambulated a lot lately would lose more).

What's that? A new eve vid in 'Video Interviews, Documentaries and Films'? Yeah yeah, I'll look at it later.
time passes...
450Mb !!! You got to be kidding, what is it a pos takedown by an inty or something?
Ok, ok I'll download it overnight (1Mb connection ftl)
The following day
Oh the downloads finished, I'll look in a bit.
Has breakfast, checks email, checks skills, looks on corp forums etc.
Eventually, double-clicks the vid, expecting the usual fraps of some pew-pew, maybe with TS commentary.
OMG!, a proper film, speechless (too busy laughing) and the missus loved it too (she plays eve).
As everyone has said, an awesome achivement! from a complete amateur this is one very very good eve video. I think in future the usual pew-pew fraps will seems tame and geeky.
If you don't get a tribal tempest (and free beer) there is no justice.
Fave bit is difficult, there are too many, but the discussion about repairs completed and the overhead sparks, everyone looks up and says nothing... nice touch.
Sadly you get no rest until you produce a 20 part series following the crew and the mysterious Mr.Smith, the forums demand it, and we all know if the forums demand something...

After all the superlatives it is difficult to think of anything new to say...... so I won't - I'll just agree that this was a tremendous piece of work. Superbly made, superbly voiced, brilliantly edited, a great storyline with lots of humour.
Thank you very much for all your time and efforts, it has brought a lot of enjoyment to a lot of people.
I certainly hope the EVE community, and a much wider audience get the opportunity to see more.
Thank you again !

Did you by any chance take any videos of you guys making the video? Perhaps doing the voice overs so we can put a real live face with those voices?
If not this time around - for the next episode you gotta do that.

Hopefully this should help you in your goal of a wiki tribute page =P : I got pretty annoyed at one person as one point lol
" '''Do NOT Delete'''
This is a ground breaking movie/production/machinima, what ever you want to call it. This type of thing has never been done before in eve, i mean, that in itself has got to warrant this atical being kept.
This is a fantastic piece of work put together through literally YEARS of work and has had a huge impact on the world of EvE, over a thousand posts on the eve-online forums, with over eighty five thousand views of the posts! 20000 downloads at just one mirror, and there are a total of 9 mirrors, not to mention all the torrent files that exist.
I thought wikipedia was supposed to inform and add to society? Well, to be honest, i don't see how deleting such an ..dare i say it.. EPIC movie that has obivously brought hundreds and thousands of people together..well, how exactly can you jusitfy deleting this artical when so many people have enjoyed it so much and, now this it a major case in my arguement to keep this artical, so i'll put it in bold, '''even the game developers have taken the time out to post their amazment and approval''' (see bottom of post)
There is no doudt in my mind that this movie deserves a wikipedia artical.
Ok, to counter the posts for deletion:
"Seidenstud" - "Wow. I looked at the movie a bit, and it looks pretty impressive. If it catches on outside of the world of machinima forums, it probably could get enough non-trivial coverage to warrant a wikipedia article! But until then...."
You just need to read the statistics i have included in this talk page/reply, and feel free to go and check them for yourself: The forum sub section: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=channel&channelID=29045 The post itself: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=783871
"Drat" - "The number of members in the game's community is not an argument for keeping this. By that logic, we'd have to make articles for every piece of World of Warcraft machinima ever made because it has 10 million players. You need to show that the film has recieved non-trivial coverage from multiple reliable, verifiable, independent sources. Forums and 99.999% of blogs are not reliable."
Well, to start off with, how can you call over a thousand posts not reliable??? i'm sorry but what you have posted here is, and to put it frank, utter rubbish in relation to this post. Fair enough, it just would not be justifiable for wiki to have an artical about every movie created, but ....over a thousand posts!.. i would be very very suprised if even a few of the movies in that big list of "machinima" ever got over a thousand posts combined within the first week of unvieling it to the public.
As for multiple sources, clear skies is featured on: Eve Online forums: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=783871 and, while this might not be completely independant, the developers went out of their way to even put the movie in the game's news: http://myeve.eve-online.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=2067&tid=7 <- I have '''never''' seen that before
The Half Life 2 forums: http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=143190 The creator has been interviewed: http://www.virginworlds.com/podcast.php?show=9&ep=38 LivePvP.com, with several posts telling of it's awsomeness: http://www.livepvp.com/watch/eve-online/clear-skies/ rockpapershotgun.com: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/?p=1846
and i could go on and on, hell, it's even on the machinima forums: http://www.machinima.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=55702&sid=c2f355ee60afc851183a18beccbac37c

"Drat" - "It's artistic quality needs to have been covered by reliable, etc, etc. sources as I have said above. Your personal analysis is not sufficient (See WP:NOR). As for multiple engines, other machinima productions released years ago have done this"
Again, i disagree sir =]. As i have sead before, this kind of thing has never been seen '''in the eve universe''' before. This my friend is originality, applying an idea to a completely new spectrum, that spectrum being eve. As for the "Your personal analysis is not sufficient" remark, doesn't that make what you have just said, and by your own words "not sufficient" or irrelovent, finally on this point, the "personal analysis" of others is exactly what makes this website so efficent, so versatile, so great. So please get down of that high horse of yours. Ok, so that artical you linked opens with the following: "This includes unpublished facts, arguments, speculation, and ideas; and any unpublished analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to advance a position." I fail to see how any of this relates to this movie as it is not a "fact, argument, speculation, or an idea". It is simply a movie and by no means does it "serve to advance a position", thus making this artical irrelavent to your arguement. Please read any third party sources you post in to try and back you up in future, I'm sorry for being harsh mate, but thats how it is.
I also completely agree with "CraziFuzzy" here, his/her(sorry couldn't tell by the name =P) posts:
"The most notable aspect of this machinima is not necessarily based on the numbers of praising forum posts, but in its artistic quality, and most notably, the pioneering method of integrating multiple game engines. I can think of no other Machinima which does this, especially not to this amazing effect. This fact alone warrants the wiki"
"To what standard do you then use to judge artistic quality? I fail to see how you can determine who's opinion would be considered more 'reliable' than the movie's target audience"
Finally,
"Drat" - "The opinions of critics who are well known, writing for publications with a reputation for fact checking and peer review. The opinions of random people on a forum count for nothing, as forums are not reliable sources. If you check the references section for Red vs. Blue you will see many references from reliable publications" 1. and i'm sorry to keep bringing this up but, over a thousand peoples views and opinions count for nothing? What planet are you on? Sure, MAYBE if it was 10, even 20 people and it stopped there, but this is way to many people to just disgard without a thought when they are all saying the same thing, that this movie was simply epic. I can not think of a better or bigger word that puts it so finely. 2. As for the references, this movie, or now more accuratly "Episode 1" has not had time to gain those awards or credentials. Plus, i think it is extremely unfair to be comparing something that is only just over a week old to something that has been up and running for years, no matter how great either of them are. 3. I have to be asking you this, but just exactly who do you think you are to be the judge of whose opinion is or isn't relivant, that they "count for nothing"? Your opinion is just as relevant as those "random people on a forum", i jsut can't seem to find the words to describe my annoence, putting it lightly, to how you seem to see yourself as better than other people, as more significant, as your opinions being more meaningful than others. ...ok ok, rant over
Drat, i respect you and the fact you are a very senior member of the wiki online community can only add to my respect, but comments such as "The opinions of random people on a forum count for nothing" almost destroy that respect. Wikipedia is a public Exyclopidia for the sharing of knowledge. "random people" come on this forum everyday and add to that knowledge, how can you say their opinions count for nothing.

Please take a deep breath before you reply and don't try and dismiss peoples opinions as trivial next time.
Conculsion I am going to have to quote "CraziFuzzy" here, as he i think has put it perfectly: "The most notable aspect of this machinima is not necessarily based on the numbers of praising forum posts, but in its artistic quality, and most notably, the pioneering method of integrating multiple game engines. I can think of no other Machinima which does this, especially not to this amazing effect. This fact alone warrants the wiki"
plus, it must be pretty epic to spur me on to write this chunk of text =P
Developers posts: '''CCP Dionysus:''' "very very nice.. awesome" '''CCP Casqade:''' "Wow. This is exactly what I wanted.
Movies with story is always better than the regular flashy effects coordinated with music. I have been longing for something like this so long. Thank you so very much!
Great work! I want to buy you beer at Fanfest." '''ISD Deckard Bishop:''' "Amazing movie!
We want more! I think I speak for everyone when I say we need another episode! I'm sure you can cope without sleep for another year or two!!!" '''CCP Hastur:''' "oooh Very nice" '''CCP Whisper:''' "This is making the rounds of the office at the moment...everyone who's seen it has been blown away while laughing their heads off. Very well done sir, very well done. Very Happy
...now if you excuse me, I am off to prepare a pre-recorded message begging for help." '''CCP Oneiromancer:''' "Pure awesomeness!
Now I need to steal a hat to tip it to you. Possibily several hundred hats.
I can only hope that we will get to see some more of your and your team's amazing work in the future and if you come to the FanFest this year the entire QA department will drown you in beer and cookies." '''CCP Hunter.:''' "L O V E D I T ! ! ! !" '''CCP Whisper:''' "Actually if you go by the backstory there are numerous ships still piloted the "traditional" way as illustrated in this movie. Pod pilots are the elite of the EVE universe and better able to control their ships, but I would assume that at any given point and time there are more ships being flown the normal way than through pod technology. But that's me descending into deep RP again which leads to me wanting to have more NPC traffic actually warping in and out rather than just appearing in space like god's own film splice special effect.
Couple of us were talking about this movie in the pub this evening...every one of us already has a favourite line from this video. It got quoted and laughed about a lot, so again: Job well done." '''CCP Greyscale (a very senior/important dev member):''' "I laughed so hard my top wingy bit fell off.
You sir are a god among men and I salute you.
o7" '''CCP Navigator:''' "John Rourke,
Please take a bow and bask in the glory of being an EVE Online God.
That video was nothing short of brilliant.
o7"
and many many more, i will take the time tomorrow to post them you for you.
i'm sorry, but no matter how much you argue, but THESE people you cannot ignore of say that they are "random people" and "their opinion counts for nothing" , they make the game!!!

Ask them what kind of coverage and from what sites/magazines/etc warrants a wikipedia article and then let's start pushing

edit:maybe the guys at EON can help with this
Yeah, I also see their point. But, besides EON (not many outside of Eve have heard of the magazine), I can't think of a notable entity that would post an article about this film. And, despite dev comments, not many people have heard of CCP and may not know how much weight theirs, ISDs', and GMs' carry. If CS could get the notice of gamespot or some other such entity, then maybe it would justify a wiki.
Any other ideas? Outside of showing a CS trailer as a commercial during Battlestar Galactica.
P.S. I meant no insult to anyone mentioned in this post. We're all fans here, but we're preaching to the choir. We have to remember that those outside of Eve will just say, "So what?"

artistic quality and fame discussions aside, there is still the matter of the pioneering role this movie takes in the integration of two completely different game engines. DRAT mentioned that a lot of early machinima films did this, but, he submitted no examples. None of the movies on the 'List of Machinima films' OTHER THAN clear skies use multiple game engines integrated together.
Understand though, the type of mentality one must have to decide to be a wikipedia article deleting guru, is one that will not reason, he is just not going to change his mind.

There are machinima festivals and competitions out there, and even if the film doesn't win - giving it exposure to the panels of judges there is enough to create interest in the franchise. Also, mentioning it on forums for gaming magazines such as PC Gamer UK is a good way to increase its publicity should the magazine print an article on it (which the aforementioned publication has done before for one of the MC's videos).
Whilst the man from the Wiki sounds tough, he is perfectly within his rights. What he wants is proof that there is interest for this outside of the EVE gaming fraternity. Of course we're going to love it. This is no slight on Clear Skies, but there are a lot of pretty terrible movies on this forum that receive widespread adulation simply because they're about EVE. Cinematically they are worthless.
So get out there and spread the word if you want to see this baby soar.

I've posted previously in this thread to say how much I love this vid. But have to add this nugget of pure win: my husband--who is not a gamer and only knows Eve through my (rather constant) chatter about it and a few "honey look at this!!!" screen demos--sat mesmerized for the entire thing, laughing at the funny bits and being awed by the beauty of Eve that he apparently hasn't noticed before :) So thanks for accomplishing the damn near impossible, John Rourke! If he decides to start playing Eve, I might owe you big time LOL!
It's true--real women DO play EVE.

IF CCP will make something like this in ambulation, so that you can walk in ships 2 not only in stations, Eve online will be the best MMO ever and will outclass WoW (it already has) and Age of Conan!
Very nice work man!

Obviously CCP found a valueable asset from community and now CCP can spend their isk wisely, that means CCP hire John Rourke NOW! And give us episodes, ah and make a infinite inusrance scheme policy for J.R. and his crew, they need some love. (byu them better ship, tempest sux) hehehehe

Truly groundbreaking. As an avid fan of eve-fan-films, I can honestly, and without hesitation, put my voice firmly in the camp that says "this has NOT been done before." Not that it matters. Even if it HAD been done before, you would have left all of the competition in the dust. As an instant fan of your work, I sincerely hope you (and the whole team that did this) do more in the future. Pure artwork. Pure class.
The only thing I can say I missed out of the whole thing was the entire "pod experience". However, people floating in goo does not exactly make for very riveting character interaction. So, honestly, I don't know how you COULD have included that part of Eve without taking the crewmembers into some form of virtual reality interface when they "plugged into" their pods. Unless you were going for the fact that the people we met were all part of the ship's "biomass" component and we never actually MET the podpilot. Was that what you were going for? Or, did I just provide you with an interesting angle for a sequel? ;)
At any rate, very, VERY, well done! All my best, and I do hope to see more in the future.
Cheers.

Hello all The threadnaught is still going then Again, I can't thank you people enough, you're all great!
I've run out of superlatives about how stunned I am, we have cleared 20,000 downloads at Eve-Files and I've no idea how much the mirrors have done, but I think I can relax now.
Thank you for fighting the Wikiwar for me lol, I don't think an avid red-vs-blue fan though (check his profile) is going to readily admit people might have done something maybe a bit "better" in a game that isn't called "Halo", bless.
I am awaiting contact from a nice chap (Zapatero) at E-ON magazine so hopefully some more mainstreamyish coverage there. If anyone wants to send PC Zone my way I'd happily talk to them too 
Anyway, on Sunday the cast and crew watched it, all gathered together for the first time! It was a truly great moment in my life. And now I feel safe to say, as a thanks to you all:
Here's where it all went a bit wrong
Yes, it's "The Bucket", the place where bad voice acting went. Two and a half minutes of the stuff I could commit to film. Er I just realised it's not bleeped so mature viewers only please (sorry if that breaks forum rules or anything, if so I'll replace it with a bleeped one sharpish)
Also check out Winterblink's latest cartoon on Warp Drive Active. No, we don't take ourselves too seriously at all 
The website fell a bit by the wayside, sorry. I've got to rewrite the FAQ section as I guessed wrong on half of it, I need to get the links on there, I'm halfway through writing a "Using HL2 for filming" guide, and I'm also halfway through writing, what was it now...? Oh yes - episode two The excitement for me is back, we've got an ace plot, and funnily enough that's what I'm spending most of my free time on - damn you all

wget.exe --tries=0 --continue --timeout=3 --waitretry=1 http://www.eve-kill.net/download/Clear_Skies.wmv
which will resume download automatically if interrupted. |

she hates eve.
It's described as "The Other Woman"
She laughed... a lot...true she didn't get a lot of the "in-eve" jokes but she did enjoy it.
looks like that media minor in a history degree was worth something after all :P
i think you should contrive something to bring that "north of 15" Ulster lilt back to episode 2...after all.... "Bobby Eweing" (sp) did get back to "Dallas" and he didn't even have an escape pod.
p.s. love the bloopers vid

It's not quite enough... yet. But more episodes might turn the trick. hint hint ccp!" ^^This! Oh ye PAY THE GUY TO MAKE MORE, CCP!

Wow....
When a buddy of mine told me about this movie, I figured.... Ok some idiot made another movie full of fraps... woopty-friggen-doo.....
Then I got bored today, a couple weeks after he told me about it... and figured I'd download it and watch it. Wow.... That was an awesome movie, I loved the way it was done. I liked it so much, if I have an officer in a belt and I hear that episode 2 came out, I'd alt-tab just to download it without thinking twice.
I have a new respect for the tempest. ;)

Sooo many nice little details... Syncing with music! Gate jump in intro, course line flickering on map. Face expressions! Station guy with "th.. 3 weeks, sir?" is priceless. Some nice jokes, whole top wingy bit stuff aka "heat sink A primary" aka "The Target"
Yeah, yeah, voice acting and plot suspense are better in some of the real movies :) But who cares. For the amateur movie it is 10/10.
P.S. Wtf would they ever need fleet sniper setup for (showing itself in fitting window through the first part). Especially with 3 empty low slots

Originally by: CCP Whisper
Originally by: Hllaxiu the only thing that really bugged me was that entire pod thing, but you've made me wish that we could wander our ships in ambulation instead of the current back story 
Actually if you go by the backstory there are numerous ships still piloted the "traditional" way as illustrated in this movie. Pod pilots are the elite of the EVE universe and better able to control their ships, but I would assume that at any given point and time there are more ships being flown the normal way than through pod technology. But that's me descending into deep RP again which leads to me wanting to have more NPC traffic actually warping in and out rather than just appearing in space like god's own film splice special effect.
Couple of us were talking about this movie in the pub this evening...every one of us already has a favourite line from this video. It got quoted and laughed about a lot, so again: Job well done. 
UM someone should let CCP know they have a problem - in the chronicle The Elite it states that all ships now are flown by capsulers. Someone should make some changes to that bit of info or Whisper needs to say "oops sorry I was wrong."
PS doesn't matter to me, the video is still cool weather or not the captain is in a pod - thou that would be cool to watching someone get into all that goo. Then talking to his people while he ran the ship from his gooey spot.

No it doesn't, it says "Today all space ships are equipped with a capsule". That doesn't mean that every ship has a capsuleer to fly it, or that the ship needs one. Trinity Nova Mercenary Services Web Site - Nominated for the 2008 E-ON Magazine Awards |

Just saw this thread now , but allready dl'ed it via bittorrent,, A.M.A.Z.I.N.G movie,,, REALLY grasps all the fun aspects of eve (i SO love the comment : "but it was like that when we bought it,, it's minmatar,,,".
One thing though,, dunno if it was just me being unlucky,, but the torrent-version has the sound a bit out of sync in the end,, (hence the new dl from eve-files, also,, i thought u might wanna know).
Keep up the good work,, and pls release more soon'ish   !!

In these kind different perspective eve films, the makers usually aim to show of slick editing and producing. This one has that in tonnes, but that is not best part of all.
There is a whole new dimension to this. This one has an actual story, and a good one at that. Sombody unprofessional making story I actually want to follow. Thats a first.
Dialogue was surprisingly well acted. Good sound quality, and the characters where brought to life beautifully, which can only be hard, when dupping a game engine.
I can only wonder what you/your team could do with some real financial backing, becouse you talent is certenly there by the bucket load. I know ill send a small donation, not much but hope it will help towards more episodes.

Well, I just have to add my congratulations to those of the previous 43 pages. A thoroughly enjoyable 40 minutes: Well, 80 minutes really since I watched it twice.
It is a very "British" take on things and seems to owe a lot to the Guy Ritchie school of dialog, which isn't a bad thing at all. Some of the parts I particularly enjoyed were the opening scene which will be familiar to anyone anywhere that has had to make use of a professional mechanic and forced some chuckles, the "eeny, meeny" scene also for the humourous interlude and the break in sound during the second battle which stems more from a production side than anything else; a nice touch.
As a "pilot" episode it's about what can be expected; a good introduction to the creators vision with some rough edges. In terms of going forward (which I think would be a fantastic move) consider reworking it slightly to change it from a "pilot" to a fully fledged "Episode I". To that end may I suggest re-recording the dialog. There seemed to be several changes in the style and delivery from the main characters involved which, presumably, stems from those voicing them settling into their roles. The use of an Irish accent for the Raven Captain is something I like and I don't believe that the voice is too young for the model used: Check recordings of Ian Paisley - his voice is only slightly gruffer. The 90 degree turn in the camera during the corridor track back to the bridge is also slightly sharp, more of a stop and turn. Similarly, the camera movement as it pans and begins to track past the artillery cannons needs a little easement - perhaps start the track before the pan finishes. I also felt that some of the combat scenes were a little long, notably the interceptor taking down the Heron. It didn't really seem to give much of a feeling of the speed. Perhaps re-cutting those to jump between different portions of the footage would work for that? Lastly, there are a couple of points prior to the ending where you could end the episode. My preferred choice would be at around 34:15 just after Charlie asks if he should get out and push. This would enable the remaining footage to be used as the trailer for the next episode.
Anyway, these are all minor considerations and don't really detract from what is a very good piece of work. Well done. |

I'm not gonna read all the other 43 pages of replies, so I can only say one thing bad about this movie, and that was the fact it ended...
Great script, love the humour, nice acting (from people I'm assuming aren't professional actors, so extra kudos for their talents if they really aren't), decent story, perfect ship to set the scene in and truly fab editing including mixing it with the HL2 actors.
I've almost run out of superlatives, so just want to top it off by saying what a thoroughly refreshing and awesome movie that was to watch. From the few pages I have read, I'll have to agree with everyone else and say we wanna see more :)
Good job !!

You sir, are very talented individual and deserves all the rewards given to you. I hope you will continue to follow whatever satisfies you. Though, I am going to agree with the majority of the EVE community; you 'should' create more.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!

I loved the in-jokes, the way you moved between inside and outside shots, the choice of music, the arguments, the story-line, the hints of what the ship modules actually look like, the little details in the background, that battle, everything.
Pure win.

Truly a masterpiece JR. I hope the next installment doesn't suck quite as much of your life away as this one did, but is just as awesome.

Awesome job mate. Nice idea to have picked up stuff from HL2.
Not to bring your work down ( I wouldn't do 1/100 of it tbh ), but from py point of view, I'd have picked up in Halo ^^
I mean, you could have linked Eva with Cortana and added some Eva voice into it :)
( Well, you could just add Cortana in it and keeping HL2 characters anyway too :o )

I've never played HL and did not know how you had done the inside shots when I watched the vid. So what I wanted to say is: It didn't look like it was from another game, the integration was perfect.

Dammit, I've gotta' go to work in a minute and as I live in the middle of nowhere, I only get a 54kb connection 
So during nthe first downloading hour and an half [3hrs it's gonna' take, lol], I read through the entire 45 pages.
I have never seen so many props and kudos accorded to one man and his friends. Even the trolls got their asses kicked and gave up.
I am soooooo looking forward to watching this when it's downloaded.
45 pages of love must mean this is as good as it gets.

AMAZING, SIMPLY AMAZING
But I did want to point out that your ship scales are slightly off. A merlins bridge isnt meant for one person, A merlin still has a sizeable crew and is much bigger than what you made it out to be. Same with the tempest and other ships. For instance, the scale you had for the spacing of your 1400mm howitzers was a bit too low. In my opinion they should be very far apart. EVE ships are HUGGGEE. Here is a video that will show you the scale of an omen compared to a person size comparison( shown around 1 minute into video). Also without a pod pilot, a tempest requires a crew of hundreds or even thousands of people, and with a pod pilot it sill requires a good amount of crew members. But all that isn't a big deal. It really is an amazing movie and I hope you are making more.

true enough, but he does mention that he bends the laws of eve a bit in order to better tell his story :P
as cool as it would be to have a crew of a few hundred or thousand running around in the background I think it would change the whole feel of the show ^^ Make it seem more like Star Trek instead of like Firefly (which I <3)
Can't stop watching it though! Even made DVDs to give my friends that are too lazy to download it :-D Absolutely great video

I've just had an fantastic interview with Urban and Winterblink for the Warp Drive Active podcast on Sunday, talking about Clear Skies and addressing a fair few of the questions and comments raised here, so that should be worth a listen if you are interested I noted a bit of a discussion about the film style and actors and stuff a couple of pages back, but I wasn't expecting everyone to like it - each to their own and all that. I'm staggered by the percentage of people who do like it to be honest, I'm flattered and honoured and running out of nice words to use in general!
To be clear, we all have absolutely no training or experience whatsoever in acting or filmmaking before Clear Skies, so I think we did pretty darn good The driver behind CS was me and my friends having some fun and me having a creative outlet. It wasn't to try and wtfpwn the Eve video circles or show off or anything like that. Any subsequent stuff I do will be under the same driver 
If this has raised the bar for eve film making then that's an honour I'm proud to carry - I want other people to pick this up and run with it (with perhaps less rotating cameras and British accents or whatever ) My website will have all the info and notes I have on the Half Life 2 SDK to save others from having to go through the 6 months of pain I did sussing it all out, which should speed up development time. I'm just one person, I imagine there are film-making teams out there now plotting and scheming their blockbusters who will complete them in less than half the time, and I for one welcome it and look forward to their films. Machinima 2.0 here we come!
Oh and before I go, a big thank you to the people who have donated ISK to me, that's such a warm and generous gesture, I'm truly touched especially as a sizeable one came from a group of people whom I'm ostensibly enemies with! I salute and thank you all, this is a very good day

They still are only copying what you set in stone. very few things can bring out the masses like this. No one can touch Clear Skies.

JR , just absolutely brilliant ! I converted to DVD format and watched it with my family , they all loved it ! My son especially so as he is into Garys Mod big time, and has played Eve as a trial account,and he is into animation/editing, ive played both HL and Eve (Eve is my main game now, rest are dust and weeds) Humour and story is great, leave the characters as they are , cant wait for the follow ups if you have time 
Seems you have a latent talent , maybe a career change is on the horizon ?

I cant say enough about this movie, I feel like i should have payed 8 us dollars to watch it in a theater, it was well written, gr8 characters, awesome footage and camera work, the editing second to none, all done without a huge production company! You have set the standard!, and yes here is just another topic reply that gushes thanks and praise for a job over and above anybodies expectation

Edited by: Svenjabi Xiang on 10/08/2008 18:30:00 I think I downloaded this the third day it was out after a few corpies pointed me in its direction. Since then, there are very few days where it doesn't seem to come up in the pile of things I do daily. It's at the point where the girlfriend has walked by and said "have you watched it yet... have you wantched it yet.." along with Charlie in the early portion of the video.
When's the next one due out?

Ian Chisholm this is by far the most funny and entertaining piece of movie made by a non "professional" that ive have ever seen, im really hoping for some more episodes since the plot, the very different characters behaviour and way of looking at the different situations is a refreshing change. and one of the first things that caught my attention was that you had really put an effort into making the movie evolve around the eve univers, with the hammer on the nail, why by insurance when you fly in a metal scarp boat =)
this film is great fun to watch and for anyone playing eve the details on the fitting and the "geek" teems is a brilliant way of making conversations between the characters an actual conversation between players in the eve univers, when we ***** over the wrong settings or the unfairness of a battle we jumped right into...
you have erned more respect in the univers of eve in making this movie, than ccp has in making eve =)
Hoping for a sequal

I am not going to read all 47 pages of kudos and I haven't seen the whole video yet; just the intro between the mechanic and the pilot, and I already know its great. CCP needs to hire this creative genius on the spot. A series like this could have internet-wise following in the fashion of viral advertisement.
P.S. Clear Skies has NO tank to speak of, lmao!

The writing and shot angle is indicitive of a fan and player of the game.
You've set the new standard for Eve vids. I've seen stuff like this before with Red v. Blue, but this was beyond anything others have done here.

this was an awesome video, if i was a millionaire, i would buy you a state of the art computer, w/ tons of CGI programs and crap like that to make your life a bit easier
unfortunatly, im not a millionaire, lol, but i swear to god i would send you the money, or buy you the computer so you could make more of these
you honestly need to contact CCP, and point them to this thread to show all of your support
then produce an episode like once a week, like 20 minutes or so per episode, unless its a seasons end or something, then they should be like an hour long, or as long as this vid or whatever
500/10 man, great work
EDIT: hell, i would lend my voice to help you, as long as i get to be a bad guy . . . in a navy issue megathron

FLAT OUT the best eve vid EVER. NO CONTEST
(There are a few things here and there in the vid that dont follow suit with the backstory, a couple of the major ones being 1) the ships involved DID NOT have pods, but the NPC's dont anyway, so no biggy here and 2) battleships, pod piloted or not, are supposed to have several THOUSAND crewmen, not just a small crew of 3.) |

Once again I want to say this video is fantastic - but I've said it before.
Secondly, if there was a contest of some sort for the best Eve player who contributed something unique and special to the community, I would like it to go to you guys. But who would we specifically mention - John Rourke? That seems to be the most obvious case. Now I don't know if Eve does this sort of award, but other MMOs have. Maybe something to consider.

I can't wait for Ambulation to come out now!
Also someone else mentioned the new models in the EVE Store. Too bad it doesn't have removable 'wingys' on the Tempest Model!!! ROFL

Awesome, Best machinima i have seen yet, it sets the bar ALOT higher. Honestly the only thing i would hope for in the future is clearing up the voice over track a little. Every now and then the characters were either drowned out or just a little tough to understand. Other than that, amazing :)
I think you should get a donations link or something like that up, ask for just a dollar an episode ;) if everyone that watched or at least everyone that truly supported your work donated... it could be well worth your time. lord knows watching it was worth mine ;)
Good Job, keep it up!

Well done on an amazing production! Loved everything about it.
Thank you for showing the Eve world that there is real talent out there, as you have something special to be able to create this.
Waiting for a sequal, and take your time with the next one as well.
2 years... Wow.
Nice job.

It has been said here already, but you really do win EVE.
my guilty secret is that I have played WoW and the only thing they ever had EVE beat was with "cinematic" movies. Not so any longer. This was brilliant, I really cannot wait to see what people like yourself can do when combined with ambulation when it comes out.

Well stone the crows 
I found that blog entry, but I was awaiting official confirmation from the festival site, and here it is: Award winners
Right there, top of the shop 
I truly can't believe what's come from all this. Thank you all for your support and all the great things you've said in this monster threadnaught, I'm over the moon (again) and I'll get a piccy of the award - next to the model Tempest I simply had to buy for myself - linked on here once it arrives.
Fallout 3 is slightly delaying part 2 but believe me, it's coming along a lot faster than the first one and I'm pretty confident it's bettererer - although a lot to live up to now! I have one huge driver behind doing the best I can, and it's 50,000+ downloads and 51 pages of replies from a fantastic bunch of people

PS before you ask, I'm aiming for March 2009 release but that's subject to change

I feel like i'm going to be the only hater here. The video was fantastic, the idea was fantastic.
The voice acting was ****ing horrible. For the first 15-20 minutes it's forgivable, but after that point I feel like you guys should realize you're not just saying lines, you're acting. Half the time it sounds like you're just speaking the words. "O god we are under attack again" "well **** off with it and get to work." There really is NO emotion whatsoever. For this reason I was realllllly put off by the video, it could've been SO much more. Again, this is why directors exist and actually make money - their job isn't exactly easy or 100% intuitive. If there is a part 2 I sincerely hope that you take these criticisms into account. Try to have some emotion, some depth of feeling. When you do a simple <10 minute video there is minimal, if any, connection to the characters because there really isn't a long enough window of time to get to know the characters. At 40 minutes when it is almost impossible to relate to any of the characters because they have seemingly no depth it becomes a task to really enjoy (in my opinion) the film (which is really what this is).
tl;dr voice acting means your voice has to do the acting. If you don't speak with any emotion, the whole thing runs flat and it sucks.
But it was a ****ing awesome video But it could've been absolutely ****ing ****-your-dead-grandmother-and-jesus-still-loves you awesome.

It's British humour.
^^Pretty much sums it up. Only one part where I think the voice acting could have improved in the last scene where mr.smith goes down the elevator. His line is to evenly spaced, need to add some emphasis on certain words. I was actually thinking that when I watched it.
I enjoyed it tremendously though! Amazing! I really do hope you do another. CCP should hire this man. With movies like this, I'm sure it'll be worth the cost.

Originally by: John Rourke Edited by: John Rourke on 09/06/2008 12:17:17 Clear Skies - an EVE vid with a difference...
A mix of Half Life 2 and EVE, an actual plot and acting, all put together for a 40 minute 'pilot episode' format film. Two years of my hard work culminated in this, I'm very proud of it and I hope you like it. It's a big file so there is a trailer as well if you want a taster first.
I didn't post up anything earlier as I'm a believer in doing *then* saying ;)

Mirror list post
Yes it bends the EVE universe a bit. Yes I'm getting a website made for it (with FAQ section!). But gosh darn it I was just too excited to let it lie while waiting for those to be finished :D
-Ian "John Rourke" Chisholm
Additional: Blooper reel, "The Bucket", is now up on Eve-Files 
outtakes ahoy!
First off really nice movie I liked it alot.
I hope for next movie you'll use render plugins availible taking advantage of the full GFX of HL2 (Dont mind this if i'ts not created yet we used it for TFC for HL1.) The sound except when the music was a bit loud for us non-english to understand. Else I just hope you use joystick or keyboard for camera movement so you get the same speed and smooth camera following.
Good luck with whatever you do :)

First off, you aren't the only "hater" that has posted on here about it, and like the rest you are perfectly entitled to your opinion, but you seem to have missed one rather large fact, and that is that this movie was filmed as a bit of fun by a small group of friends who have no acting/directing experience between them. Most of the guys involved work for a large insurance company in the UK, and I work in a lab...... not much need to "act" in any of those jobs. All of the filming and recording was done in what little spare time we could arrange to have off together, and it was the first time any of us had done this.
Yes the acting could have been better, we have ALL said that (numerous times), but hey ho some people just seem to miss the point no matter how often you repeat yourselves.

Massively.com news report about award
Massively.com interview
Also we just won an award at the International Machinima Expo 2008 - Ricky Grove and Phil Rice are two lovely people, I've just come from the Second Life hosted expo after a screening of Clear Skies and a Q&A session afterwards 
(note - as it's still happening as I type, the website doesn't have any results up yet)
So again, thank you all for the support, and I'm still not having screaming Americans swearing in my film in order to qualify as 'proper voice acting' in some people's eyes haha No, I jest - each to their own and all that, and with the better audio rig I have this time around, things will improve in the emotive acting area I promise

This is as clever as a bag of weaxels.
Potential Plot developement, characters that you can be interested in, good balance between action and drama. But the genius bit for me is the way the music was used. Really well timed scoring which was integrated with sound effects and plot events.
this is clever.
Very clever.
I hope there is more coming.

Watched Clear Skies about a month ago, and only when clearing out an old (and ridiculously trashy) hanger, I came across a sample of Elena Gazky's DNA. I lol'd hard once I got the obscure reference. -----

All I have to say is this is one huge undertaking by some extremely ballsy and talented people. never mind what you yourselves think or what others think. There is talent in being able to complete the work, and your ballsy to put it out here for some trolls to walk over and try to dump on it.
I have one question to ask to those who have complained about the "voice acting" being bad. Where the **** is your professionally filmed and acted movie based around EVE? If you have one point me to it. Until then don't **** on someone else's work.
Love the movie, and I make it mandatory to watch for entrance into my corp.

Can I just say CCP should be paying you to produce things like that it sells EVE really well.
Also CCP should take the idea of mission running and hitting hostile gates as a mission. It would be very cool.
Great job mate whens part 2 out :-D

I was taking a break from EVE when Clear Skies was released, and missed all the original fuss. But when I saw the video of fanfest where multiple CCP execs mentioned it and Oveur used the phrase "f***ing awesome", it was obviously time to start downloading.
It's an amazing piece of work, I really enjoyed watching it. Beyond that I think everything's been said.
It wasn't perfect, there were weaknesses, but to be honest I think someone with as strong a creative vision as Ian has really doesn't need advice or criticism (constructive or otherwise) from me.
The one (sort of) negative thing I'll say is that it's a shame the trailer wasn't used for its intended purpose. I actually watched it after the full episode, and I still thought it was completely mindblowing. It *was* pretty much perfect at doing what a trailer should; selling the viewer on the full package. You really should have released the trailer and made everyone wait a week for the full feature. It deserved its own moment in the spotlight. |

The 'trailer' was made for John (Charlie) to give him a taster of how it was going, as he lives 50+miles away from me. I knocked it up in 1hr 45m lol. I didn't have any clue that any of this madness would happen, so the idea of releasing a trailer didn't even occur to me. It was actually in the end just uploaded so people could watch it before the full half a gig monstrosity, to make sure they were interested.
This time around there will be a proper trailer

It's on the video of the CCP panel. At around minute 46 a player asks a questions about the possibility of seeing EVE on TV and there's a multi-exec reply about the possibilities for TV advertising, EVE-based TV shows/mini-series/other dream projects and the potential for EVE machinima once walking in stations is available. With lots of references to Clear Skies .
Then right at the end the last questioner announces (on your behalf it seems...) that Clear Skies 2 is on the way, and the panel response is v. enthusiastic. Enjoy replaying it to yourself at least a few times . |

My friend, you have done everyone a great service by providing such an entertaining video for us all to share. Your hard work, and those that helped you will not be forgotten for many thousands of years. The story was truly simple, but yet so complicated at the same time. Everything worked perfectly, and that my friend is simply amazing. Again thank you 1 billion times over for such a great video!!

From the humor to overall editting of the video this is truely one of the best Machinima i have ever seen even pushing the envelope on how much i like red vs blue....
RvsB Watched prolly twice Clear Skies Watched 100 times or more.
As a minmatar i must say the ship choice is excellent but omg no minmatar on our races ship.... ACK the agony of it. Show some love to the makers of the tempest JR!
Just kidding i look forward to the next installment. Will also provide mirrors if you wish. Just evemail me.

I first came across EVE because it has a devoted forum on one of the national (New Zealand) gaming boards I use.
I downloaded this trailer before I had any idea what EVE was.
The trailer is what got me hooked on EVE. 2 years to make? Dayum.
All I can say is, it is well and truely an excellent vid. If I made something like this, I'd be patting myself on the back for months hehe.
Might go watch it again during DT. :)

I have been a fan Clear Skies, and first saw it not to long after it came out. today is the first time I have taken the time to read all the post on the forums though. I have noticed the haters talking about the voice acting and I really didn't see the issue, to be honest I think the acting was better than half the stuff you see on TV these days. Anyway loved it, can't wait for the next one.

At last! 
Anyway, hello all, yes, I'm still occasionally coming back here. I've read every single comment posted over the months, thank you all - it certainly gives me motivation!
I've been keeping pretty quiet otherwise, but let me tell you this as a small token of thanks for all the nice things you've all said: All voice acting is recorded for part 2, over two thirds is lipsynched, and about 13 minutes of actual footage has been recorded and finalised. In other words, Clear Skies 2 is coming along very nicely. April/May time I'd say for release...
I'm trying to sort out the content for a website someone has made for me but usually when it comes down to that or producing the actual film, well, heh, guess which wins out But once the website is sorted I'll get a linky up here.

Hey there,
I am liking the voice acting. Didn't think I'd ever hear someone else from Northern Ireland in EVE ^^ sounds like a Fermanagh accent but I could be wrong. Only watched the trailer so far but I plan on downloading the big one tomorrow.

I have to say, the quality was pretty good.
But the author obviously has a very MINIMAL knowledge of how EVE ships work. Before spending that much time making a movie about EVE, perhaps read some about the game first.

Trenton i think you miss the point completely, as stated on the original post John said that it "bends" the Eve universe somewhat so that an entertaining story could be told. If you have a good idea on how pods of goo can interact and create an amusing story please post your ideas!
JR like the others are day one veterans and have seen the Eve universe evolve so think their knowledge of "how ships work" cant really be questioned and should be applauded at the imagination involved to try and bring the feel of Eve and its ships to life!

EVE ships are either piloted by 1000's of crewmen in the old conventional warfare way. Or the new way, which EVERY character in EVE does, the Capsuleer way. The pod you eject in? Well that's your little jelly filled pod with a big naked you floating inside neurally connected to it's systems via a "Matrix" style neck jack and a set of goggles. This way the pilot of the ship can control things like camera drones (Why you see in 3rd person) and all weapons systems so easily. Also this limits teh amount of crewers to a bare minimum.
As good as the movie was, and I'm sure it was alot of work and was entertaining, it was still like watching say Lord of The Rings where they replace Gandalf with Batman and Sauron is Carnage..
It just is frustrating to watch.
You're either a movie critic that is very hard to satisfy, or you should shut up until you actually make your own video/movie. I personally think you should just shut up.

Or.. had you read the book, which is also prime fiction, there are "cross-capsule variant" starships "equipped with an internal pod gantry, allowing the pilot to be extracted and leaving him free to roam about its structure." (p. 339)
Honestly mate, the way forward is to not be so fundamentalist about your Eve. There's more than one story to tell here.

someone had made a matrix-like comment so the ship interiors and character interaction in the movie could be a matrix like construct and you could still have the pilots in pods peforming assigned tasks.

i think your the one that has MINIMAL knowledge,as you say if it takes 1000's of crew to pilot a battleship then in fact wouldn't it take 100's to fly a frigate,if thats the case then why is there only 4 in a frigate in the EVE NOVEL.so lets put it a way for you to understand ok.hmm lets see your a pod pilot you get jacked in to your pod then your pod get jacked in to the ship.now how would you be able to control a ship in one spot well you would have all the wiring sent to a central computer then from their to the pod then feed in to the jack in the back of the neck of said pilot,so all you have to do is re-wire it from the central computer to the 3 area's or more that you want as you can see its not that hard to have a small crew.NOT LIKE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT BEFORE YOU POSTED YOUR COMMENTS,so maybe next time you might want to use that brain you have before you start posting about thing even you don't know about.

Okay, some things here.
First, CS is obviously nearly completely independent of the backstory. Parallel universe. I doubt pod pilots even exist there.
Second, some frigates have a minimum crew of 1.
Third, battleships still have a crew of thousands with a pod pilot. The chronicle you want to look for is 'hands of a killer'.

Guys, just remember that people are allowed to have their own opinion about things, just cos Trenton didn't like Clear Skies doesn't mean he is wrong. Everything like this is subjective.
That being said tho, i do think Trenton missed the point, and as Twiglet said it was stated that Clear Skies bends the Eve-verse little in some places. The intent was to tell a story, one that just happened to be loosely based on the characters that we created in the Beta stages of Eve. It would seem that most people on here have enjoyed the story so far for which we will always be incredibly grateful, and humbled by the response of the majority of posters, I am sorry that you are not one who enjoyed it. All I can suggest is that you don't bother watching part 2, as it will probably prove to be equally frustrating for you.
Personally I have always disliked the "pod pilot" thing, mainly because I think the only person that looks convincing in an Egg shaped ship is Mork

First of all, thx for the video, it's very nicely done.
The only thing that i don't like is that i already knew what was going to happen, every single step; for example the friend that denied him his help but then went in a widow to save him, or that there was no mothership but a titan, or that he was going to solve the situation with his "not working docking computer", really.. everything.. there was no surpise to me.
Again: i like the video, but i already knew what was going to happen the whole movie. Am i the only one?
PS yes, i know, i'm a bit late in watching it.

Albany, NY, USA here. Absolutely fantastic. I just watched both Clear Skies videos and I was blown away. I can honestly say its the best piece of cinematic fiction I've seen in a long time. The story, the scenes, the voice acting, everything... Thank you. I "almost" teared up at the end.

With the risk of copying the forty billion people before me: well done, mate. Even though the voice acting is a bit stiff every now and then, the graphics, the story and the whole movie is rock solid. I sincerely hope you'll make more stuff of this quality.

Awesome movie. Probably one of the best player made movies I've seen. Gonna watch part 2 later on.
Definite talent there Ian Chisholm . Great creativity. If there wasn't any Half Life scenes I'd say movie would feel only so good.
Overall just great job. Your 2 years of hard work on a movie were not spent in vain. I personally think its a complete success .

You know Rukia, I understand that opinion is everything, but when a player makes a movie like this out of nothing, based on bits and pieces of personal creativity and hard work and a lot of personal invested time, I don't think there is a place for complaints or even concerns.
Its funny how some people after watching player made movies based on games that have no tools whatsoever to make producing movies possible still value them like they would be posting on Fandango or something.. lol .
So you can just as well ignore all your personal feelings about the movies like that and give all your kudos and gratitude just for the fact that he created it and did a hell of a good job too. You just can't rate movies like this in "fandango" style.

Just wanted to say to the creator - these two movies are not only damned impressive, but they're also very inspiring. One of the downsides of EVE is that it is possible to hit times of bordom if you get yourself into a rut - but watching the antics of Captain Rourke and his Passive Aggressive crew make EVE seem fresh and exciting again, every time I watch them.
So thanks for making these, and please keep up the excellent work!

And no, CCP can't really get behind Clear Skies. Think about it - the Half Life 2 engine is involved. If it was made purely with CCP tools, renders and sounds then I think they'd have done it(I point you towards Day of Darkness). But as CS uses music, SDK, etc, I don't think it's ever going to happen. Intellectual property and all that.

I was actually thinking how this would make an awesome fresh and original movie, along the Serenity lines...

I got at least one friend into Eve by showing them the Clear Skies stuff. Sure, it may not be canon, and frankly if you've played CS to death, some of the characters look a little bit *too* familiar, but sod it... it's good stuff and a great example of what a fan with a bit of brains can do if they have a mind to do it.
If there's a 3rd incarnation on the way, then you can damn well bet I'll be watching it.

Awesome beyond words.
There are two things I'd like to see happen as a result of this:
1. Ian Chisholm gets a job on Doctor Who. 2. CCP decides to make Clear Skies a recurring series.
In particular, the battle at the gate in Clear Skies 2 has to be one of the best-done space battles I have ever seen. ____________________________________ Caldari by birth, Minmatar by citizenship.

What if they switched over to the Unreal engine? Don't know if JR has any experience with it, but could CCP be able to get behind a project like this if it used a engine they already had a license to use? Might be worth looking into?!
I for one don't want to see this come to a close, and having some backing/support would probably make it easier to commit more time.

From what I understand this took a ton of time on those that made it. I've kept both parts tucked away in my NEVER DELETE folder since they came out. Another big thank you to JR and his team, and another bump to the thread. As well as the obligatory "hope for CS3". If it takes to much of your time from important things, no problem, but here's just another vote to see Clear Skies become a trilogy.
Thanks again for 2 truly great films JR.

Try reading the rest of the thread, and you'll know that CS3 is scheduled for release at some point before the end of the year.
On that point, a bump to this topic to share the latest trinket of info from master Rourke/Ian Chisholm.

Well I haven't updated this for a while, sorry, but I don't tend to write stuff unless I've got things to say :)
One is that despite Valve almost completely destroying the Half Life 2 development toolset for some inexplicable reason, I've figured out ways around what they've broken, so progress continues. I have all one one scene done, and one partways there.
The other thing I wanted to say is that while I still hope for the end of the year as a release, if it ain't done, it ain't done :) I'd rather do everything right rather than rush an arbitrary deadline. There are a lot of new things we are doing that make the film better, and pretty much all this stuff is the first time we are trying it, so it's going to cause delays. But I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't push myself, so that's a good thing, OK? ;)
So a small progress report there, keep up the good work dude! +1 to Clear Skies!

Originally by: John Rourke Edited by: John Rourke on 09/06/2008 12:17:17 Clear Skies - an EVE vid with a difference...
A mix of Half Life 2 and EVE, an actual plot and acting, all put together for a 40 minute 'pilot episode' format film. Two years of my hard work culminated in this, I'm very proud of it and I hope you like it. It's a big file so there is a trailer as well if you want a taster first.
I didn't post up anything earlier as I'm a believer in doing *then* saying ;)

Yes it bends the EVE universe a bit. Yes I'm getting a website made for it (with FAQ section!). But gosh darn it I was just too excited to let it lie while waiting for those to be finished :D

Regular CS stalker, bringing you another Clear Skies update. This one's a good one :D
Originally by: John Rourke, from the Clear Skies FB group
Just over 12 minutes produced :) When I say "produced" that means the main filming and acting is done in HL2, and the audio is balanced. Post production is required for external Eve shots, sound foley, and any fancy effects - I'm not getting too deep into that lot yet! The HL2 stuff is generally what takes the bulk ...of the time so it's a good measure. And it gives me something to watch.
The bad news is I'm running at 2 minutes per page of script and the script is 40 pages long >_< This might take longer than I thought as it's accidentally gone feature-film length, doh.
So it's a feature length film eh? Don't hold your hopes up for a Winter '10 release but MAN is it going to be worth it!

Another update:
Originally by: "Ian Chisholm, from the Clear Skies FB group" OK, so, I did some intensive work and nailed just over 2 minutes of produced footage, bringing the total now to just over 17 minutes. According to my calculations that's about 25% of the way through. Not bad. It's just going to take a lot of time due to the sheer amount of scenes to produce but I promise it'll be worth the wait ;)
So that puts the full length around 70 minutes. Can't wait! --

Regular CS stalker here with another update.
Originally by: Ian Chisholm/John Rourke, from the Facebook Clear Skies group
OK I have a release date in mind and I'm pulling out all the stops to achieve it :) It's March 2011, oddly enough my initial best guess over a year ago. With the amount of work needed simply because of how long the film is, this is going to take some doing - but I'm nothing if not obsessively focused :D
There will be ...a teaser trailer and a full trailer, and they should rock up in January and February 2011 respectively. If all goes to plan ^_^
I should now be past most of the technical hitches, a lot of the supporting stuff is done or being completed soon (sets, skins, gfx, etc). Mocap is flying along and working really well as the product and our use of it has progressed. My progress tracker is showing over 25% complete now - 22 and a half minutes done.
Link to the FB group for anyone else wishing to get regular updates.
So no longer Winter 2010, but March 2011... not bad considering this is going to run for an hour and 20 minutes(guessing that from the fact he's 25% done with 22mins complete). Still cannot wait! It's getting closer!! :D

Seriously, you all still here? 
You know, every time I get swamped by how much of my life this series has taken up, I just have to read a page or two in this monster thread and suddenly it's all worth it.
I'm working flat out on CS3 - my job is now shift work so I'm doing what I can during downtime at work, and doing 7 to 12 hour days on CS3 during my off-shift time. I'm balancing that with spending quality time with my lovely new girlfriend, although sometimes I do rope her into assisting with the motion capture process - I think she finds my prancing about in front of cameras quite amusing 
I wish it could go even faster but I'm wholly limited by the sheer size of the episode 3 project. It's a monster. I also wish I could share with you the results so far because I hate making you wait, but you're going to have to wait for the official trailer The list of improvements is myriad, though - Motion capture is only one of the new things - I've got a director of photography who's taught me proper lighting techniques, more sets/locations, something special on the external shots front, two professional hollywood actors involved thanks to an amazing coincidence, better sound, oh and it's all in high def at last. Also, I think the script is pretty damn good, but most of the voice acting is still fairly dodgy 
I've damn near half an hour of produced footage now. I'm working on some action scenes so that I can knock up that trailer you all deserve. I know it's been about 18 months since CS2 came out but bear with me just a bit longer, my MWD is on

Keep it up, i know how hard Source SDK can be, I'm monitoring another animator who's work is being delayed by SDK issues.
Also, if you need any pilots for filming, Id be willing to voulenteer. Drop me an EVE mail if you consider it.
Keep it up JR, i know it will all be worth it.

Originally by: John Rourke, from the FB group Well it's Christmas o clock so work on CS3 will be slow for a couple of weeks - so just as a quick update, I'm at just over 40 minutes produced :) Considering that was 17mins mid-october, I'm quite pleased with that progress. The work that leads up to things being produced has also proceeded apace - for example I onl...y need one minor character's voice recorded now, about 80% of the dialogue is lipsynced, only a couple of sets need building, and there are only 7 scenes left to motion capture. Still looking OK for March...

ith all the excitement for CS3, many of us are just now hearing of CS1 & 2. (as was my case)
I've read John's post in December about all the video improvements, screen capture, audio, HD et al - but I'd liek to point something out here.
It's the dialog and the plot more than anything that makes the movie. This series is great because it really captures the essence and the humor of the EVE culture.

The Clear Skies series is something that transcends EVE Online, it can be enjoyed without ever having played a single minute. You've created something enjoyable that will probably outlast the game itself.

I have never thought to watch it until now, I thought it would be some badly made fan film, but I could not have been more wrong! CS1 and CS2 are brilliant, they made me laugh out load lots and lots of times, even better to hear English voices instead of the expected american.
It has a Red Dwarf feel in many parts which I think works even better with the UK accents. I can not wait for CS3.
Bloopers are genius!  If you had paypal I would donate for the laughs and to help fund CS3!

The old Clear Skies stalker returns to bring another update fresh from the Facebook page(which only needs one more member to hit 1,000!) of Clear Skies:
Originally by: Ian Chisholm/John Rourke, CS FB page Things are progressing nicely. I have no life at the moment, working on this, so the sooner it's done the better :) I'm still aiming for finishing in May sometime. Late May, of course ^_^
I've put together all the scenes, albeit some with cuecards instead of exterior shots, and no bluescreen effects. It clocks in at 72.5 minutes long at the current edit o.O --------- If you thought I meant "May 1st" when I said "May", you thought wrong :) Still grinding away, I'm going as fast as I can.
Still very much looking forward to this! :D

A new update from the Facebook group:
Originally by: Ian Chisholm, FB page OK bit of a status update as people are a'clamouring. I have got 7 scenes left to finish. Ohnoes, I hear you cry? Well three of the scenes are waiting on simply reshooting a few shots with finished graphics in place so I can nail all of those in a single day. One scene just needs some simple exterior bluescreen shots, so that's another day. One need fairly simple exterior shots and sound balancing. Two are big buggers that needs a lot of exterior shots and some of the sound doing as well.
The upshot is, it's gonna be near the end of May, but I've got 12 days straight off work (yes I have a real job) after Tuesday, so it'll damn well be done by the end of them.
I've been spending over 8 hours a day on this for the last two months in my off-shifts at the expense of going out, seeing friends, playing computer games and generally having fun, so I can meet my deadline. I assure you I'm more committed to getting it done than most people would be capable of, and I thank my girlfriend and friends for their tolerance :)
Also I'm deferring my birthday until it's finished ;)

Don't take me wrong, this is way different from a moan when CCP needs for an update 5 hours more than announced. You might take this as a homage for that breathtaking work of Ian and his guys. I'm quiet confident, that it's worth to wait for, even when my butt tells me to stop just sitting and watching I and II again, and again. Ian's love to the details makes the movies what they are. What will not stop me to check the links every day, very unpatiently.

I wonder
On his website for this, Ian indicated that he could not release the 1st two movies in hidef because of a request from either valve or ccp. Valve I suspect.
However, now that the 3rd movie will be released in HD, I wonder if the original movies can also be released that way?
Ian had indicated that he had "filmed" the first movies (certainly the 2nd) in hidef but was unable to release them in that format.

You're not the only one checking daily ;) If my math is right - and it usually is - out of the 12 days Mr Chisholm has off work, 5 working days have passed so in the next week or so it should be with us. That's a lot of F5'ing XD As for the updates, I strongly suspect the next one will be an eve files link and as such it'd be a bit wrong for me to post it.

Wow, I stand corrected about the next update probably being the main event 
Originally by: Ian Chisholn/John Rourke, Facebook group OK I've not gone away, thanks all for the crazy postings :) I've been doing around 15hrs a day this week, which means good progress! *twitch* Three scenes need some shots redoing with finished art assets in place. One scene (count 'em) needs the exterior shots doing and the sound foley'd and balanced. There is then the checking, bugfixing-and-subsequent-scene-re-rendering, and the 16 hour long final render and check. All this stuff takes time, but if I continue doing how I've been doing, it should be in picture lock and at the bugfix and render stage for the weekend. Fingers crossed. It's looking as good as I'd hoped 2 years ago, by the way ;)

Definite sticky love needed to this topic. Thinking of which, hopefully this is me signing off as a stalker ;D
Originally by: Ian Chisholm/John Rourke, FB group And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a wrap. ------- It means, I've finished all aspect of the production :) I'm performing the final render of the last two scenes now. Then I slot them into the final project file of all the pre-built scenes, watch it in preview format to make sure it's 100%, and then kick off the final (16 hours long) render of the finished film :) ------- If it renders ok overnight, I'll be uploading to eve-files via FTP on sunday. Then the mighty Chribba will splice the mainbraces and batten down the hatches (i.e. mirror and seed it and get bandwidth in place), and then I make the post on here and the Eve forums ;) So hopefully, tomorrow :D ------- It will be torrented, and spreading will be positively encouraged, or we'll break Eve Files. Again.
And there you have it, lads and ladies and those who are yet to make up their minds. Within the next 24 hours Eve Files is going offline :P It's been fun keeping everyone updated, but I seriously doubt there's much more point now If anybody wants to find out quicker than F5'ing this site, I highly recommend dragging your behinds over to Facebook and checking out the Clear Skies page/group, chances are it'll be announced there about 2 or 3 minutes before it is over here - perfect for all you F5 junkies.

Just a sugestion, If you loved the clear skies series as I did then send it's creator an isk donation.As I am sure many have allready done so. even if it's only a small amount. Then if the guy does actually get time to play eve in future he wont have to worry about isk.
I think we owe him that much.

As it is going to be torrented, perhaps Chribba could create an RSS feed, that way we can all leave utorrent running and pretty much the moment its out you will start downloading it :) Of course this could instead crash eve-files even faster :) Just an idea...

I do believe Ian is also setting up a Paypal donation thingy, at some point soon.
And buggery I've got ANOTHER update, boo - but this WILL be worth it in the end.
Originally by: Ian Chisholm/John Rourke, FB group OK bit of an update, I found at the last minute there was a problem with listening to it in stereo. The mix was too loud and distorted. I've fixed it, but it's gonna take another 5 hours or so to re-render the whole project :( Speaking of surround-to-stereo issues, it varies between media players, sound hardware, and video codecs if the downmix works properly. Either it does or you get mostly everything in the left channel. There is nothing I can do about this as it's a playback hardware/software issue (one of my PCs plays it fine through USB headphones and ****s it up through analogue speakers, go figure). I hope you won't have this problem, and if you do you can work around it somehow. If it becomes a big issue though, I'll release a stereo specific version at a later date.
I strongly advise leaving your feedback on the FB page, Ian seems to read there more frequently than here He needs our support! :D ============= The People's Vivi - the blog of a high-sec carebear with dodgy teeth. ============= |

I cannot express how gratified and excited I feel having had the opportunity to see such great fan work. Ian, you seriously need to get hired by a major motion picture studio. Better yet, perhaps you should start your own.

After 30 years of watching fan movies I was pretty blasT about them, good though the majority are. Clear Skies 1, 2 and 3 are nothing short of masterpieces and I actually really like the central characters - they should be a TV mini-series. :D
I'm now preaching the Clear Skies gospel to friends and family - and I'm now off to find the "Donate" button!

Originally by: Lhiara Longrifle just finish watching CS3 it is perfect but i can't help but wonder how some of the crew will manage without some "gentle" companion where they going next... And now we know what the "Top secret" ducktape is really made of (from CS2)
Ps: i wonder if ther will be a blooper vids
I am sure that Ian will be doing the Blooper reel soon(ish), believe me he has PLENTY of material to choose from :) However to do it Ian will have to animate, lip-synch and Mo-cap the scenes, which takes a bit of time :)
So basically, it will be here, just watch this space :)

Wow.
Fantastic work.
Really, words escape me.
I just discovered Clear Skies last night. Let's just say that I am COMPLETELY fired up about EVE ONLINE again.
I've always been a Maelstrom pilot, but I can see a Tempy in my future.
BRB, hitting the DONATE button so that Ian can buy that Aston Martin.

Just recently found this. Holy crap. I can only hope you make more videos of eve like this. I'm thinking I would love to have my pilot in your movie somewhere XD.
It's just phenomenal what you've accomplished. I even got teary-eyed near in part 2 and 3. "Are we even now?" will always be stuck in my head as a greatest moment in any movie. I've watched that fight scene over and over again, as well as the Magellan and the cap fight in the third.
If you ever get the chance, you should re-do your fist two in HD as well! ------

It's amazing, isn't it? Even some of the memes which I doubt they intended to be such initially are fantastic:
- It's hot drop o'cloooooooock!
- "Caldari emergency frequency Oscar Mike Foxtrot Gulf" (OMFG)
etc.
Not to mention the little things in character development like the sofa. If they don't make a Clear Skies 4, I wish they'd go ahead and tell us all so someone can plan to make a spinoff with different characters or something.
BTW, I know how much of a royal pain in the ass it is to do this kind of CGI. Hats off to you guys.

It really is amazing. I hope they make a 4, and show us some Jove space =p. If not, I'd rather they tell us so I'm not hoping every day for the announcement.
If anything, I would pay money to see him produce more movies like this. I would literally buy the movies. There is plenty of lore and RP to toss around in Eve for millions of stories to be told. So if their only excuses are, "We can't make a movie in the jove region" or "The story is over", there are still tons of other things to make a Eve/Source engine combo in.
I wonder if he'd dabble in the Unreal engine instead for this and use the Unreal 3 engine if he makes another story. It would look soooo pretty all around ------

First off, i just saw this the other day for the first time and i am blown away. Story is awesome, the jovians are a great vision, and the hot drop was truly epic.

I wonder if it is possible to get ahold of the frostbite 2 tech (assuming this is the graphics engine, its the only ad i have seen in the video) that is used in Battlefield 3. The motion and scenes would be on par with the final fantasy movie. Either way, keep em coming, great work! |

I've posted this in the CS3 thread, but I figured I'd updatge the threadnaught as well:
Thank you all, as ever, for your kind and awesome words of praise. If it wasn't for the unbelievable level of support I've recieved from the community, the series would have ended at the first one. I'm very proud to have achieved all this and to be a part of Eve Online's lore, I'm honoured to have had the privilege to entertain all you lovely people, and the story I always wanted to tell has now finally been told.
While I still have the outtakes to make (coming soontm) I'm moving on to other things with regards to creative writing and so forth, so yeah, it's definitely over for the CS series. It's been an emotional 6 years or so, and even when I didn't enjoy it, I've enjoyed it 
I might actually play Eve now. Question is.... how the hell do you undock? I've forgotten 
-JR
PS also, dear CCP, is this the biggest and oldest continuous thread you've had? I don't know, but it must come close, surely

Brother you have earned the right to play this mighty game for a while!
It is a shame to hear its the end for the CS crew :(
I do look forward to whatever you cook up next though brother, dont forget to let us know what your up too :)

that was a great production. sad to see it come to an end but it really is at a scale now that its more of a production item than a free time thing. sell the idea to a network other than Fox and you might be set for awhile XD.

Ian, I am sure I speak for the rest of the community when I say a massive THANK YOU, to you and your friends, for undertaking this massive dream you had of "telling the story" of 'Clear Skies'.
It's been a wild ride for you, the creators, I am sure, but also for us, the audience. Clear Skies blew us all away when we saw it, and I felt it should definately be picked up and made into a long running seriel. Then came Clear Skies II, improvements in every direction and clearly, the better things get, the harder the work to get there. Most of us appreciated and accepted this as the end, and didn't dare hope you would make a Clear Skies III.
But Clear Skies III! You DID it! You actually DID IT! A pefrect end to a perfect story. An epic finale to a trilogy that was never planned as such, and George Lucas could learn a thing or two from you, Sir!
You told your story, Ian, and dragged us laughing, kicking and screaming ("Haffa! Nooooooooo!!") along the way. Your story telling, directing, editing, design and computer skills have reached epic proportions.
We wish you well with all your future projects and hope that 'Clear Skies' leads you to your next dream, as just deserved as it is.
Ian, THANK YOU
Fly safe.

I've entered Clear Skies 3 in the EveIsReal.net contest 
http://www.eveisreal.net/api/redirect/mention/98170
I figure it doesn't get much more real than an international audience, introducing or re-introducing people to the game, engaging people who don't even play games, and most of all uniting you lot no matter what the faction, alliance, or history 
Any facetwitter shares would be much appreciated!

I must have missed the bit where he merged the eve universe with the half life universe (I'm talking about the setting/story). |

He used the half life engine to *help* tell a story in the Eve universe. It wasn't like he had Freeman running around and them referring to the "that one character"(not giving away plot) as G-man. "No offence" GZK but.. HERP DERP!
The only complication I could see using it officially would be a liscensing issue between CCP and valve.
To John Rourke. You got my vote! amazing job!
