Good question.....

well the thing with the voices is this

while I created the movie and the story i heared all the different characters speak, shout and scream in my mind

they had emotion

well the voices we have now....sound good.........but they lack emotion.......basicly they are too cool........ for gods and simmilar creatures that would be ok........because well they do not get that excited about things like we mortals do.....but for the others.......it just missed that final thing.........so thats why the humans

Monty told me that he already has some actors aboard......for the main characters he will try to get some semi prof actors ( some did already said that they would help out....but that was over a year ago and the full movie was not done back then.......so we have to start again with recruiting and begging them)

getting them onboard means also that Monty has to create a small size full movie in another format then aom...because well those people have no aom game this takes time


Oh and some houshold announceent:

It seems that the GX domain has for some mysterious reason exceeded its bandwith........it is a bit fishy for my likings......and I do not hope some hacker has misused it again to massmail trash or something ( happend also with the elepa domain in the past)

cross your fingers that all is ok and that Pacos can find out what happend

Best regards,
The Vandhaal

So EVERYTHING but the voice acting is complete?

In my opinion,

I find custom created voices talking better then a bunch of geeky voices trying to be the character.....

well yes more or less

the movie was more or less done already....hmmmm i think october 2006 ?? ...not sure anymore
but i still have to finetune some stuff

well last thing Monty told me is that the muisc is also more or less ready........he will finetune files while I finetune the movie ( so when he has trigerd and timed all sounds into the scenario)

His finetuning will be updating the files...so he does not need to edit the scenarios

well as for the voices they are also triggerd in......but its difficult to judge if the human actors fit in exactly the same timing as the voices we have.....so that we will have to see

p.s do not worry voices will not be geeky

p.s do not worry voices will not be geeky

Hope so

What's the synopsis of the movie? I need it for the wikipedia article.

0_O lol

A wikipedia article?

This cool project doesn't need no wikipedia article... Its too groovy for it! :-D


p.s Titan you need some time away from the computer dude.
don't worry..Me joke me joke.

Hahaha thanx a lot Titan for that wiki article


well i ofocurse cannot tell you the full story synopsis yet......

but ofcourse you can use the other info for your article

Make sure you donot turn it into an advert...because they will remove it....so you need to write some more informational text.......well basicly a lot of info about how we do this can be found in this very aomH thread ( see for example my last reply about the voices)

let me see

well you can use all the pictures yoiu like...plz do not hotlink them....somehow in these lasts months something is "stealing"bandwith from GX.......or at least the images on my webbies get viewed millions of times and eat up a lot of bandwith....i cannot belive that ten thousands of people visit my place everday...so just grab em and upload them to the wikipedia

for the time being you can use this or a version of it for the storyline....ofcourse you have to check the spelling....you know me + spelling/ grammer = i do not care

Story

O my brothers and my sisters, gather around me that I may tell the tale of what happend after the Before-Time, after the Golden Age when the gods walked upon the earth with us.

It was said that in the Golden Age Osiris the great-grandson of Ra sat upon the throne of the gods, ruling over the living world as Ra did over the gods. He was the first Pharaoh, and his Queen, Isis, was the first Queen. They ruled for many ages together, for the world was still young and Grandmother Death was not as harsh as she is now. The ancient legend goes on and tells us about the evil Set and how he killed his brother Osiris, it tells how Osiris was resurrected and how his son yielded the throne of the underworld to him and how he became the lord of the dead with his trustfull Son at his side as the Guardian of the dead ....

But there is another , forgotten , legend.....which tells the true story of what happened after this Golden Age.. It tells the story of the accual events which caused the downfall of the Egyptian Gods and the mighty Egyptian Empire of the mortals. It speaks about the one who is called The Corruptor, how this Corruptor killed his father and how he was punished by Ra for this action. The legend tells about how Ra turned his back on the mortals and how he , thousands of years, later got confronted again with the Corruptor. It tells us about the ignorance of a Pharaoh and the brave but desperate struggle of the people who lived in the lands of Egypt.

So come and sit down brothers and sisters and keep the tale I am about to tell in your hearts and give it to others, as I am giving it to you....

well and then you could use the preview gallery:
http://vandhaal.gamingextremes.us/vandhaal_gallery/v/age_of_mythology/The_Corruptor/

you also can use the official trailer:
or link to it....image can be taken from here:
http://www.archive.org/details/The_Vandhaal_The_Corruptor_Trailer01_03

hmm and then there is Montys music stuff:
You can use the image in the main topic
and this pic


The image above was shot from a sound project file - for a sound effect file of just 70 seconds length. Each coloured bar represents a separate sound file which was edited and mixed more than 10 times.

i think the desciptions of those images in the main topic are also suitable for a wiki artice so these

The music manuscript shows the 4-bar composition for the symphonic intruments: Violin, Viola, Cello, DoubleBass, Oboe, Clarinet, Flugelhorn, Trombone - for the first sung verse "Tuba mirum spargens sonum", only.

and last but not least on the Marspictures project webbie you can find some more info

http://www.vandhaal.elpea.net/aommarspictures.html

lol many thanx again ! its an honour that you support the Corruptor so much very inspiring for me!

Best regards,
The Vandhaal

wait let me link your article also in the main topic

Thanks Vandhaal, and BTW, here is the spell checked version:

O my brothers and my sisters, gather around me that I may tell the tale of what happened after the Before-Time, after the Golden Age when the gods walked upon the earth with us.

The ancient legend goes on and tells us about the evil Set and how he killed his brother Osiris, it tells how Osiris was resurrected and how his son yielded the throne of the underworld to him and how he became the lord of the dead with his trustful Son at his side as the Guardian of the dead ....

But there is another , forgotten , legend.....which tells the true story of what happened after this Golden Age.. It tells the story of the actual events which caused the downfall of the Egyptian Gods and the mighty Egyptian Empire of the mortals. It speaks about the one who is called The Corruptor, how this Corruptor killed his father and how he was punished by Ra for this action.

It tells us about the ignorance of a Pharaoh and the brave but desperate struggle of the people who lived in the lands of Egypt.

Now the important thing is: What copyright would you like me to release the images with? GNU, Creative Commons...?

i am not sure if the wiki has such a licence...so find something which fits it closely and if there is nothing then just use the creative commons as they from the wiki show

I think that you are not planning to post music files....so that will be no problem......Monty has full official copyright on all the music stuff

Again many thanx Titan...i really feel honoured by this great support from you !

Best regards,
The Vandhaal

p.s hehehe...thanx also for the spell checked version.....i will save it somewhere for future use.......but will not use it now because well The Vandhaal stuff withour grammar/spelling errors...is not really vandhaal stuff ( but more from that character behind the vandhaal )

[This message has been edited by The Vandhaal (edited 06-25-2007 @ 09:25 AM).]

Do you use the share alike licence or just the normal one? BTW, yes it does have the licence

[This message has been edited by Titan602 (edited 06-25-2007 @ 11:19 AM).]

How's progress?

That's something I want to know too!

Vandhaals personal Monkey Boy: SwordStorm

He left AoM about half a year ago! :sad:

but he still posts here, yes?

Yes.

Hello guys .
Thank you all for your huge support. Me and Vandhaal worship it very much, and it keeps us moving .

Quoted from jml:

...This is, in my opinion, the reason why M0nTy_PyTh0n came up with this voice acting idea, just to give more time to the other guy one.
I applied and he never answered. What better evidence could you get?

You applied? When? Where? Just send me an email with a demo, or visit my forum.
Someone with (or without) a french accent can be very useful, also , so do not hesitate
Errata: I found your mail - did not know your real name - I replied

Quoted from Titan602:

...Anyway, M0nTy, I know this sounds very far feched, but why don't you ask some more famous voice actors to do it? Dan Green makes a great tough guy voice, and Sean Schemmel would make a great voice for Ra or Anubis or maybe even that dead pharaoh guy!

Do not worry, I also contact voice actors who make a living with it .
But, just send me their contacts via email, that would be great!
Also, for the wikipedia article:
First of all, thanks for making it
I have some remarks/errata:
Produced by: The Vandhaal, Hyena Studios (NOT AOMH!)
Our group is called: Mars Pictures Productions
(picture just means and image, whereas pictures also stands for movie )
Sound effects by: Hyena Studios
... ok, just some ideas for your next edit session there

BTW, the finished sound and music files now reached an amount of more than 700 files (about 290MB in total - the final size will be about 300MB).

Regards,
M0nTy_PyTh0n.

[This message has been edited by The Vandhaal (edited 06-30-2007 @ 05:33 PM).]

I understand

Glad it works. Or doesn't work of course

So is there any info I can add to the article that goes over the corrutor in more detail?

You can just write your own list of known facts right?

I forgot them >_
