Alternate Vlarion 4 - The Heavens Collide Teaser
 

Original Release Thread

With the possible exception of the "Reduce" intro, this is by far the strangest thing I've ever made with this program. This was done before Redux was on the map, and is probably what got me and Goro talking on AIM for the first time.

As of its compilation, nothing I'd done for the community had been met with much enthusiasm; Alternate Vlarion 3 was polarizing to put it mildly, Uprising 2 wasn't garnering much interest, and I think the lack of real attention just kinda drove me to say, "Fuck it, I'll just weird everybody out." I thought this was really funny at the time; once I started seeing some success it became kind of embarrassing, and now today it's funny again. Go figure.

Haha, oh man.. this is just about the oddest thing ever done. It feels like the awkward start to an up-and-coming art movement. No one, especially the artists, really gets it yet.. but they do it anyway. And people just kinda stand back and say "so.. uh. wh. I kinda liked the wang on the floor on scene 2." Yes, it's one of those art movements.

Good grief, these thoughts are not well thought-out. I don't know why I would've contacted you after seeing this, but I'm sure glad I did because having more than one camera angle in a scene is just crazy. I'm glad I weened you off of that.

GJ the scene construction was kind of nice but the voice work was pretty stale, try asking for help on the board. I'd love to see what you make in the future. Keep us posted!

I grabbed the voice wavs off the internet, I knew I wanted a kind of chorus line and then laughter at the end, but ended up with something even weirder.

This was fucking demented.

This is vlarion?

It was very early footage cut into the weirdest teaser I could manage.

That shot of the burning palm trees reminds me of the beginning of Apocalypse Now.
