Discovered in the Wrapping paper – 5 January – A bit of fun

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

The OH and I have been spending some of our increased time at home playing the DC Universe Online video game. One project we gave ourselves was to make Bodie and Doyle avatars and send them on a mission.

Warning: the character creation system really only allows 3 body types, and limited personality and dress options. So don't expect exact likenesses.

Theme music and video editing by B (who played Bodie, which is why he's front and centre the most). The dropbox link should allow you to view online or download.

Ha! The lads have gone high-tech! That was fun and clever. Thank you.

I'm glad you liked it — yes, the hardware isn't circa 1977 really, and we did try to keep it plain 😅

Thanks for the fun! Looks like a lot of work.

Not so much for me — once I'd searched through the limited gear options I let the tech guy handle the recording *g* I'll share the compliments though!

Hee - that was fun! And lol for Bodie being front and centre most - boys!! But I caught enough glimpses of Doyle to keep me happy too, and I love his red jacket - he was totally recognisable! Good job on styling the lads, which seems like the fun bit to me. *g* Imagine if they developed this sort of gaming capability even more - we could make up our own new eps! (Okay, I expect there's places with looooads of kit that could probably do that already, sort of like they made the new Abba gig), but imagine if we could do it ourselves...)

I DID have fun with it. The issue with the camera angle was because everything had to be filmed from Bodie POV, and I kept ducking and diving around so am not always within shot (as was complained about later).
I think it would be great if we could do something like that, probably heaps of problems to overcome though.

Wow! That's clever!

You're so right, that was fun. *g* Thanks for showing.
