Alternatives to Youtube are laughable if you ever want people to see your work. Even Vimeo gets barely a fraction of the users that Youtube gets... and it's well known.

Your work is stellar. These scenes look vastly improved. Much kudos!

Bosch Monologue 4.

Yes, it was a deliberate decision to change the style of nebula. The original cutscene looks like it uses layers of recolored stock earth cloud images. That's nothing like what the in-game nebula looks like, so in the words of Admiral Nelson... this was an opportunity to harmonize the cutscenes to the game.

That said, I'm super happy with the lightning effects. I'll get to do much more of that in Monologue 3.

EDIT: Oof.. Sorry about the Youtube compression. To see the better version, grab it from the download link in the first post.

Indeed. Great work.

Nice one!

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I stopped looking for a few days and come back to a bald man monologuing again? Excellent work.

Those tongue-in-cheek references on Bosch's keyboard are brilliant.

Which is why you link to your Vimeo / *****ute in the YouTube video stating that the quality is better (if indeed it is).

Ah yes, link an alternate video in the descriptions that absolutely no one reads.

He didn't say in the description...

They can add a click box with a link to the video itself.
Examples of such click boxes include...
"merch store"
"previous vid"
"profit"
No reason why "alternate source higher quality vid" would be an issue....

Ugh, I know I'm gonna catch hell for this at this late date because aside from Hall Fight and the Bosch Monologues, I haven't see any of these new cutscenes until today, but I have what I deeply suspect is a noob question. I just watched the new FS1 Intro cutscene today and noticed the Manticore fighters seem to be firing their lasers from their bottom rack missile launchers...or at least what the original FS2 Intro cutscene led me to believe was their missile launchers. So the Manticore's upper arms/booms are its missile launchers and those bottom rack thingies are its lasers, in opposition to what the FS2 Intro showed us?

It would not by any means be the first time screwed up, but still, that seems to me more disappointing that usual (because the Manticore is one of my more favorite Shivan fighters)... 

[Nightmare]

probably changed tons of things during development, and those for FS2 were even made by a different company so yeah inconsistencies are everywhere.

A handy demonstration

[Su-tehp]

Thank you, The E, for that demonstration. That clears it up for me nicely.

I can't wait to see the rest of the cutscenes.

[mjn.mixael]

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeext.

[DefCynodont119]

Love it.

[X3N0-Life-Form]

Sexy.

Things are gonna have to slow down just a touch now, though.

Monologue 3 is waiting for nuRavana. That's gonna be sexy coming out of the fog.

Colossus is oof. There's a lot of pieces to this cutscene and much of it is not 3D animation. I counted up over 30 individual elements I need to create from scratch. That includes blueprints, main animations, sub animations, etc. I'm not quite sure I'm ready to start on that one yet.

Endgame (all parts) and Intro will be the last scenes I make. So those are waiting for everything else. Intro will probably be the last. It's appropriately epic for my last cutscene remake hurrah. Also hoping to have a few new hi-poly ships for that scene, too. (Anyone seen that new Demon?)

I think I've scratched my cutscene itch for a bit. I'm feeling FRED calling again. (This is my life... hopping between projects all the time.)
