Author Topic: Ways to make better Blockland movies?  (Read 1146 times)

If you are going to post, please read the whole topic. I will not provide a tl;dr

Okay, so I've made some movies in the past.
I want to make something enjoyable by audiences.
Here are some of the problems with my movies.
  • stuffty Editing Program
  • Unplanned Videos
  • No Mic
  • No skill in image editing or introduction making

Some of these are fixable. I just found a website that helps with making movie scripts.
Since I was 8 I have had problems with video editing. Right now I'm forced to use Window's stuffty default editing program. A name that has been reappearing has been Sony Vegas, or something to that sort. I got the trial version and it confused the forget out of me. If you are going to recommend it to me, please, link a video telling me how to use it. A specific feature that I want is picture-on-picture or picture-on-video. In some Blockland movies this is used by filming a scene in a news office, and then putting it on a television somewhere in another set. This creates an illusion that the tv is playing the news channel. Also, another thing. I've heard that you can mod Windows Movie Maker to have extensions. I like windows movie maker, it is fast and simple. If someone could show me how add extensions to it, I would be grateful.

Third issue; no microphone. Well, actually I do have a microphone but I think some people would complain... I'm trying to stay away from using tf2 voices, for sometimes it comes out cheap and gimmicky. In the past I've used text-to-speech converters. There really isn't a problem here, but if you have a better idea just tell me.

Now, last issue. I don't know how to make a proper introduction (yes, it would be short if I had one) or channel art. If someone would link me to a good tutorial, I would appreciate it. If I had a decent video editing program, I would be able to come up with an introduction. I use gimp for whatever I need to edit.

Maybe if people actually used adult blockland member's voices than they'd turn out better?
For example you're 11 and I'm 18.

The community is marketed towards kids you know.
if there will be commentary it should be like 16 or so

Americans especially have high voices, so anyone under 16-18 sounds really young. Us brits are born with slighty deeper voices.
Something to do with location/family/natural selection idfk

I'm not planning on using a microphone, there is a high chance of hate.

before doubting me, please remember you're 13 so you're probably one of the squeeky american kids.

how did you type this sentence at your computer and then hit post thinking "oh yeah this sure makes sense"

i agree that acorn shouldn't be doubting you, but how does calling him a "squeeky american kid" help or relate to the way he doubts you? why is it your natural instinct to back up your knowledge with either your age or a useless insult rather than rational thought?

Actually, I've talked with him before and his voice is deeper then mine
and I'm 15

or near same

Use Cinema4D for your intros. Text intros are easier than my brothers mom. Find a cracked version and then message me on here or on blockland IGN:Psyche and ill show you the ropes.

You must be a squeaky 15 year old American kid.
