this is kind of old now but i thought i would point out that graham has hundreds of sprites, that means that we have hundreds of actions to choose from that we just have to alter , imagine making two hundred sprites when there is an alternative, just my opinion I know there are others who differ

Newsflash!
We have a
trailer movie available for download. This is a 14-meg WMV movie of our intro sequence, with lovely graphics and stunning music. I encourage everybody to take a look at it!
Also, we are holding
auditions for voice actors. Interested parties are welcome to drop by.

Yes, we would.
Actually we are open to any comments, regardless of whom they come from. Of course it is most interesting the fact that you are a pro animator and video editor.
And thank you...

Looks really nice - the music is BRILLIANT! I love the choral work in the middle. The backgrounds are really amazing... though I may be biased, I adore the art team as they're friends. But that aside, it looks beautiful.
But damn, there's a LOT of exposition. The opening crawl to Star Wars only had three paragraphs. The rest of the exposition was told in images and dialogue.

The trailer made my computer hang. I redownloaded once more, and still the same, the computer hanged again. Since it works for everybody else, the problem must be on my side here. Does it require special codecs I don't have? I'm using the default Windows Media Player 9.00.00.2980 for Win2K.

Maybe you don't have the right codec?

The video was exproted through windows movie maker (!!!) and I would expect it to be the mosyt compatible in matter of format and codeks. It may be that your windows are 2k, while the video was madwe in windows XP pro.
An alternative would be to download another player such as Winamp (Free of course...):

Wow, looking great. I'd help out with more sprite work but, alas. I'm so busy... good luck though!

Winamp did not help either (I already had Winamp before). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought even Winamp actually uses default codecs from Windows Media Player? So, I always assumed if it does not work with Windows Media Player, it won't work with Winamp either.
I tried playing the trailer at a colleague's computer, his also runs Win2K, and the trailer did not work both in Windows Media Player and Winamp (only that he had better luck than me, his computer did not crash).
When I played it yet on another computer, this time with WinXP Home, it played correctly with Windows Media Player (no additional codecs installed, as far as I know only default codecs from original Windows Media Player). So, it might be O/S-related issue rather than codecs problem.
Anyway, nice trailer, a bit too much of texts, but nice nevertheless.

To my best knowledge, yes. This sounds pretty weird actually. Maybe you should google for some codec information, it's possible that you have a DLL version conflict somewhere.

Which is great!
Da Elf did a great job on the demo trailer! You've got to go to the ATOTK forums and see it! Amazing!

Yeah, Da_Elf's work really is incredible! I checked it out recently. What an effect - it really adds to it. You, sir, are one slick Island dweller!

Pretty neat Da_elf. Separating and moving the layers adds a lot of depth and makes the whole thing more dynamic.

you dont need 3d or fancy things to make something look good. this is just a simple effect that has been done since the early days of animation

It should be working at the beginning of next month again.
