Veil of Corruption II: Rotten Soul (Lorc's Song)

We've just released the first trailer to VoC II. It's not a classic style trailer but a music video. It shows several scenes from the movie by telling the story of Lorc, one of our main chars. It begins where the storyline of chapter I ends showing the fate of Lorc after he lost his wife and job.

We wrote and recorded a song for this video called "Rotten Soul (Lorc's Song). You can listen to this song using the widged in right top corner. If you loved the song or want to support our project you can also buy this song as mp3 from e.g. amazon or iTunes for a cheap prize.

gamona/worldofwar.de wrote an article about the movie. Take a look here (German language only)

Special guest on VoC II: dtbn

I'm quiet proud to present a special guest on Veil of Corruption II. The machinimator dtbn agreed to my suggestion of making some action scenes for our motion picture.

dtbn is responsible for action machinimas like The Avenger, Trollbane or Assassine, so you could imagine that I was very glad to have some of his martial arts style fighting sequences in VoC II.

There will be a collaboration on setting up some of the fighting scenes at the beginning of the movie and also for the epic fights of the protagonists at the end of VoC II.

Here you can see some first screenshots of the intro scenes which were nearly finished these days.

Interview @ www.buffed.de

Hey there everyone,

last week the popular and wide spread German WoW-Community-Portal www.buffed.de made an interview with me about the "Veil of Corruption-Project". There you can find some new information about the upcoming motion picture machinima "Veil of Corruption Chapter 2". Unfortunately there exists only a German language version of the interview and I have no time for a translation at the moment. Maybe I'll do this later.

Have fun with reading the interview-article.

Screenplay finished

Just a few days ago our team finished the screenplay to Veil of Corruption II. It was a hard piece of work, at least we wrote 87 pages of script. At the moment the translation from the German version to the English one is in progress. This may also take us a few weeks, but we already started the voice recordings for the German version. We have about 30 different roles with voice acting content, so it will be a lot of work.

Yes you're right, this time we plan to make both English and German voice over versions.

In the meanwhile I started recording the intro and at the moment nearly 6 minutes of the movie were already done. Not much considering the fact that the whole movie will be 90+ minutes.

Keep an eye on this page to be always up-to-date on the progress of Veil of Corruption II.

Some advertisement - Machinima Blog

Well some short news and advertisement for my other projects. In February 2009 Fal Bulon and I started a machinima blog on www.worldofwar.de, one of the biggest German community pages for World of Warcraft. This is especially for the people who were familiar with German language, but nevertheless a reason to feature it in my blog.

There you can find some intereseting articles like a review on No:Point or an interview with Johan Vågstedt.

You can find the blog here: http://wow.gamona.de/category/machinima-blogbuster/

Have fun with reading it.

Ahearn on www.sourceradio.com (no direct link so I had to copy this one)

'I am speechless. After watching the prologue back in October, I knew this series would be special but nothing like this. The time, effort, and experience that went into making this movie was impressive. It was like watching a movie or playing a game that had been done by professional game developers. The original soundtrack from Max Payne, mixed with adrenaline rushing action scenes, and a break dancing orc, this movie is definitely a must see. Keep a look out for the next installment from Varath.'

It's coming to an end

Yes it is!

I'm going to finish the first part of my Max Payne series this month. Plenty of rendering hours lying behind me and I'm really glad that it's almost done.

At the moment I'm working on the last 5 minutes of about 25 minutes total length. I'm really really looking forward to the release and the reaction of the people. I don't know if they will hate it or like it. But there's one thing I can say for sure: this movie is something special, by one means or another :)

Some last screenshots.

New Logo

While the progress on the VoC II screenplay is going on, I found some time to re-design our official logo. I made a HD-animation vid for our projects.

On top you can find a screenshot.

I'm also hard working on finishing Max Payne - Noir Undercity. I decided to make a trilogy, cause the whole original plot would end in an 90 minutes film. So episodes are a better and compact way to manage this problem. I hope I'll get finished end of winter or beginning of spring.

Veil of Corruption II - Production started

Some short news from our main project.

In January 2009 we've started the editing and compositing work on Veil of Corruption Chapter II.

Some of the first scenes and the logo artworks were already done and edited.

We'll keep you up to date the next weeks in this blog.

Below you find an exclusive Screenshot from the intro. An eye reflecting the background (done with a 3D Software with over 3 hours render time ;)). It's beautiful, isn't it :)
