Yes...yes..I am still on holiday at the moment...but with the sunny weather and a little time behind a comp I threw this little thing together...and released it just as quick for your entertainment



Brass Monkey

STUDIO:The_Vandhaal ( member of Tsunami Studios).
RELEASE DATE: 1-8-2006
TYPE: Short Full Cinematic (5.46 min Wmv & Avi files/ Streaming and downloadable).








Info and Notes:
I, The Vandhaal, have created this little movie inbetween the work on my feature lenght Full cinematic project called "The Corruptor"
Obviously this little "Brass Monkey" is no match to The Corruptor when it comes down on camera cuts, scenes, artistic layers, story dept and general cinematography.
However although it has not the titanic scope and the quality of The Corruptor movie it has something special...at least for me....and ofcourse it was fun to create and to take a break from the huge Corruptor project.


The Movie scenes from "Brass Monkey" are fully created with the Age of Mythology editor, only original ingame units and objects are used ( NO mods).
The movie contains basicly one impossible feature for AoM cinematics...and this makes it unique. "Brass Monkey" features a unit animation which cannot be used outside the editor (without modding the game). Or in other words this specific unit animation can not be used when an AoM cinematic is played as a game cinematic.
Well the look and movement of this animation has become the main inspiration for this little movie you are about to see.

I am fully aware that people who are not into AoM will not see the "special" thing in this little feature because they probably do not know what the limitations of an Rts game like AoM are.... but probably they will also not see it in the Corruptor feature lenght movie aswell. I hope they at least just simply enjoy it.
I recommend you to grab a good glass of white wine while you watch this little movie.... JML recomments THIS





More Info and Notes :

Ok now you probably ask where can I see this little joint
...don't worry its not far away !!
Go to the Rts Theatre of the Mind here.....you see it among the 17 other rts based movies.....as always there are probably some people who are just too lazy .....well they can simply go directly to the Brass Monkey Theatre here

An optional location ( In case my webbie and its mirror is down ) is YouTube......so if you like to watch it there just go here



More...more... Info and Notes :

Ok there is also a special info page on my webbie for this movie.....and yes it contians download links....so go the the Brass Monkey project page here



More....more...and again more Info and Notes

Don't expect anything "Corruptor"ish, no fancy or complicated stuff....but do expect straight forward fun




Oh and yes :
There are some screenies...but you don't want to see them...they tell basicly nothing...just look at the below thumbs



........see I told you....they tell not so much about what this little movie is about....




The Theatre of the Mind

Ok as some of you guys already know...the Theatre of the Mind had the first ever online RTS machinima Theatre....so yes without bragging....it IS the original place...so forget about the bad copies
Well it got fully updated and has some very nice new additions ...including Brass Monkey there are 6 movies added to it. Check also the theatre of the mind forum
Some other good theatres are...The Lzs theatre and Hyena Studios Videonauts....





  • The making of: Brass Monkey

    For those who are interested I have written a little bit down on how I have created this little joint.....you can find the guide/ article ( whatever you want to call it) in my AoM Cinematic Valhalla. Want to go directly to the guide...well then check here for the making of Brass Monkey guide/article

    i'll download it later, when I'm on the otehr computer and get bored of my usual pursuits of sex, drugs and rock and roll. But it looks great.

    Now get back to work on the corrupter, slackers.

    there are tons of ways to make money out of it......ofcourse you can also always simply
    enjoy it ....I recommened the use of some good white wine while watching it
    Enjoing will probably be best.....saves you the trouble of fighting Monarchy!"

    Ehem. *calls the Beastie Boys*

    3) Apprantly I havent shown you a good monkey movie.
    Monkey Magic

    4) Apprently (ugh, get out of my head, word!) you dont go into Halls of Van-whatever.

    5) I loved it... but only two monkeys? *gasp*

    Sorry, this movie was too good not to center.

    @ The Vandhaal

    Haha! That was a good laugh, of course, especially as I was coming back from my family vacations! Thanks for that. Funny monkeys, funny lightings, kind of AoM beside AoM as I always like it. Too bad you had to shoot it through the editor and not being fully able to use The Vandhaal's skills when it gets to cinematics.
    By the way, very smooth animation and dancing, not so easy to do...
    Thanks for the present, again perfect timing!
    Is there a part 2? And anything happening when you, finally! start going under water? I have been waiting for this the whole time.
    Actually, this is what I want see from you some day: an underwater story! And a bit of upside-down maybe???

    @ SwordStorm

    Amazing monkey cine! Is this yours?
    What game is this from?

    hello Guys & Girls....
    thanx for the reactions I am happy you have enjoyed this little and simple AoM movie....just like I have enjoyed it to create it.....it took me just a couple of hours ( also nice for a change to see some final result whtin a vew hours and not within months or years)


    @ Swordstorm
    Thanx for the link to that nice little movie....lol its better then my little thing but a well you cannot have everything....and besides that someone once said something simmilar to this: " Before you die you should have seen the AoM Monkey flail anim "

    .....you now one of those "aom music video" movies you posted in some other thread inspired me to create this little bugger ....its the one where those 2 great guys sing age of mythology...i love them

    LoL no i did not forget you....i never will
    Great post layout by the way

    @ JML
    Well consider this as your welcome back greeting Mon Ami
    I did not care much about skill or fancy stuff.....while i was creating this little thing....it took me just a vew hours...as for that last question...again check your mail


    and now , just like Titan602 says.

    Ok everyone, lets do the minkeymonkey lol

    Best regards,
    The Vandhaal

    p.s. don't worry about the corruptor...Monty is working on the sound and music as we speak.....lol and also do not worry.....brass Monkey is nothing compared to the Corruptor

    The 'Monkey Magic' movie is not mine. Its one of those random findings while looking at games, like the internet is for porn song, but thats another story.

    Oh, the game is Silkroad. Wanna link to download it? Its freeeee.... But takes two hours dl.

    Thx for the layout approvement.
