Preserved Topic: 24 seconds of slime -- with sound!!

It's been a while since the original, but I spent the day making five separate sound files, which were combined with the movie for pretty realistic and cool sound. Check it out (1.7 MB). Please don't click the link hundreds of times, I'm slightly worried about the bandwidth this will take if many people download it.

I probably should have posted in the multimedia forum, but I really wanted everyone to see this. =) I *love* the way it came out.

wehoo! slimie slimies! i wonder what happens when a slime gets slaped?

Excellent choice in muzak... Sound effects melded very well. but.... they dont have any hands...

Very nice

When does it come out on DVD?

Excellent job, Slime. I love it. What program did you use to make the animation?

I like it a lot...

Woohoo! Great job, Slime!

Supercool!
Well done, good job on the soundclips too!

slime, you rock!
i guess its not open source. otherwise i'd be very glad if i could have a look at the code.
what im most interested in is how did you make the saber-effects. do they have a light source?

and where is the light in the scene coming from? the two have shadows, but i see no lamp or something.

Great job slime! Who has the movie rights?

~LMAO~

Oh yeah baby....it's Paduwan Slime Time!

Nice work man.

That is too cool.

Now I'm starting to see re-enactments of other movie scenes with slimies. Bunch of slimies running through the woods, coming over the hill, with O Fortuna in the background...

LOL Now you have to do Slime-Sith get into two parts while he falls down!! LOL


Excellent Slime!!
And the sound and music, what? from the DVD?
Well, the Music no probs, but the Saber sound effects?

LOVE IT!!!!

This looks AWESOME!!!

Wow Slime! It's been a long time since I've seen that. The sounded you added was amazing. Did you have any sound in the original? It's been a while, I don't remember.

cheers.jay

That is fantastic. I too would love to know what program you did it in

I got the music off the DuelOfTheFates MP3 (it's all over the internet). The saber sounds took a while to find, but eventually I found three zip files of about fifty sound files. I made four of my own sound files: one containing ambient light saber sounds, one containing heavier light saber sounds when the sabers move, one containing sounds of the sabers turning on and off, and one containing sounds of the light sabers clashing. Then I mixed it all together with the music (which is the last thirty seconds of Duel Of The Fates). It took a while to sync all the sound effects.

There was no sound in the original, Jestah, I did all the sound yesterday. =)

Of course, I used POV-Ray for the images, back when I made this thing (about a year and a half ago, if I remember correctly). I had written a VB program to animate it with, and then took two days to animate it. Then it rendered over the course of a couple of weeks. (much of that time was spent waiting for a new, faster family computer to render it with.) Originally I compiled the frames with CMPEG, but since that doesn't support sound, I used TMPGEnc yesterday to put the sound into it. I still have all 623 targa files that are the individual frames. =)

The light source? first of all, the light sabers themselves are light sources -- area lights, for those who use POV-Ray and know what area lights are. =) Then there are two light sources, if I remember correctly, in the middle of the room. Only one of them casts shadows, the other one just keeps the dark areas lit up a bit.

One interesting problem that I had with the sound is the fact that the light saber sounds in the new and old movies are very different, believe it or not. In the newer movie, they sound more metallic, sort of. It's strange.

Thanks for all the compliments =)

heh, heh, Darth Slimie and Slime Skywalker =)

LOL!!! This is awesome!!! Make a longer one!

Hey.. the whole movie would be cool!

Slime! what you did was really great!

Bugimus: I like your halloween logo (The burning man w/ pumpkin)

Wow Slime that was awesome!
hehe I know about your bandwidth concern, I just got done paying my over-bandwidth fee.

Ooooh...nice.

talking about combining targas into movies, I have a question that I'm gonna throw to the general population. I have a 101 frame animation which I rendered into 101 seperate targa images. How do I:

1. Compile these into a movie file, and
2. Convert that movie file to a reasonable gif file to display as a sig?

Any ideas?

Drop the animated GIF idea. With 101 frames, that'd be one huge file. But for an animation... search for BMP2AVI on google or something, you'll find a program that can convert bitmaps or targa files into avi videos.
