The movie that has taken soo much time and effort is finally out and has gotten great reviews from everyone. All the negative feedback I got were from things that I already knew about and I didn't change because of my impatient ways. Now that my movie is out and is successful I have cleared my mind of any ideas for future movies. This being said you should expect a long dry spell of no movies from me. During this time I will be finishing and putting up my new look for the website. It's all done in flash and looks very spiffy. After I do that I can then fix bugs and promote the new website as the new hub for all things nittens. It will hold basically any fan would want from a celebrity... not saying I'm a celebrity but I'm just giving an example. After the website I hope to still film but in a more calm way. Two things that I wish to get done will be for the website. Look forward to that. I won't post them on sims99. I also hope to "evolve" my skills a little bit more. This Wendy movie probably stood out to you because it's something I've never done before and I wanted to expand my ideas and it was basically the point when I wanted to start evolving my skills. To get better at what I do I plan on doing a few things. First off I won't post anything I create, second I won't use many effects in terms of tint and brightness and contrast. third i'll be going back to traditional sims movie making.
Since The Sims 2 came out movie making on it has evolved A LOT. I remember a few classic sims movies when sims99 just began that really set the bar for sims movie making. Now they would be considered crap. But I call them classic because they are like the Charlie Chaplin films which were short, terribly made, and low-tech. But, they are classic because not only did it define movie making but it was one of the first made so of course it's going to be bad but without those classics where would movie be today?
So I figure if I go back and try to become more traditional with no strings attached then I can experiment more and test and use all the things that The Sims 2 provides. There are a lot of objects and options in The Sims 2 now but it takes creativity to figure out how to use that stuff properly and what to use. I think videos now in 2007-08 lack that creativity. Back in 2005-06 all we had was The Sims 2 and one or two expansion packs. It wasn't until later did we discover the boolprop cheat code, which even later actually became more helpful to movie makers through EA realizing that it wasn't just a game testing cheat but it was now a movie making cheat.
That's it from here for a while until the website is complete. peace.
