7th Annual 3dmm.com Awards 2005

7th Annual 3dmm.com Awards 2005 · 05:39 AM

A little over 2 months in the making, it's finally done, and I couldn't be more happier to not have to spend any more weekends working my ass off to get this beast released. This project ended up taking way more time than I ever planned it would, but I suppose that's really my fault as I spent far more time than any human should have editing these clips together.

I think some of you may be a little surprised by the 170mb file size. It was decided pretty early on in the project that we were going to make this movie outside of 3dmm and distribute it in AVI or WMV format. I think the real driving factor for this decision was because it was too much work to remove unused v3dmm models from the film, not to mention the sounds and music that we didn't want as well. It also allowed us to give you superior sound quality, and have some fun synchronizing the clips and music without having to worry about different computers playing at different speeds. I'm very happy with the decision and wonder if this will give anyone any ideas to make their next movie a hybrid 3dmm/WMV like this one.

Some of the clips were compiled first in 3dmm by Ben, but all of them went through a very detailed editing process using Windows Movie Maker 2.

The movie is broken up into 22 separate WMV files, and has a playlist included so you can play them all at once in the correct order. I've also included a text file that lists more detailed results for each nominee and category. Please extract the entire folder to your desktop before playing.

The only requirement to watch this is a somewhat uptodate version of Windows Media Player, or at least any media player that can read WMV files. I don't expect many people will have any problems playing this, since Microsoft has done a fairly decent job distributing their proprietary codec (even if it was for all the wrong reasons), but if you do have issues, I recommend you update your Windows Media Player installation to version 9 or higher.

Special thanks goes out to all of those who helped make this movie possible. I'd like to thank Tuna Hematoma obviously for handling the nomination process (even if he did put in a few prank nominees without anyone noticing), Aaron Haynes for helping him out, and HMC for creating the trophy used throughout the movie.

I'd also like to thank Digital Taco and Demented Ferret for helping me get a hold of a few hard to find expansions so I could get screenshots for them, and Ben asked me to also give thanks to Warren Wagner and Richard Bevis for constant encouragement and inspiration.

Enjoy the movie and leave comments!

FIRST POST! DOWNLOADING AND RESERVED FOR COMMENTS.

EDIT: This was FANTASTIC! Best Awards movie so far. What blew me away the most was the editing, holy shit. Pure awesomeness. This is how the future Awards movies should be made. Kinda bummed about not winning (DAMN YOU DAN!) but it's alright, I was pretty close. The music was brilliant! Congratulations to everyone who won and a very special thanks to Space Goat and Ben Rice, you guys did a splendid job! Can't wait until the 2006 Awards.

I WOULD FEEL BAD FOR HOGGING AWARDS... BUT IT WAS ALL DENNY'S FAULT

HMC · 06-01-2006, 12:55 AM

That was awesome. Even though there weren't that many movies released last year, this was a nice approach to doing the awards. I think it's safe to say that we should do it this way every year.

Wow, Goat that was really awesome. Great job! But why is my name not on the list of people that voted?

Ben Rice · 06-01-2006, 01:22 AM

I'M BORED. I THINK I SHALL DOWNLOAD THIS.

It is, third row from the bottom.

They are in the order of when you voted, which is kinda strange now I that I think about it.

The movie itself was really great, but some stuff annoyed me. SPOILERS BELOW.

Ok, first of all Ned Carlson didn't win ANYTHING. What is wrong with you fuckers? Secondly, 5DMM won FAR, FAR too much. I'm not saying it was a bad movie, but did it really deserve all those? I mean, Best Soundtrack? Oh yeah and also why was Best Director in Misc awards? It's like the second most important award in the whole show.

But still, most of the criticisms are about how the results turned out, and not the movie, because quite honestly, it turned out very well. Awesome job, Goat!

Thanks, Tom. I'm a bit disappointed, too. According to the percentages of vote accumulation, I wonder if I should have even been nominated at all.

But that's the way it goes, I guess.

Will B-R · 06-01-2006, 09:33 AM

Great job, it's always interesting to see people opinions compiled like this. Even more so when it's composed with such quality, GREAT WORK!

Why were you even looking anyway?

Dominator Dan · 06-01-2006, 09:52 AM

Hahah, I saw my name in the list straight away, HAWK EYES MATE

And yes it seems 5the only possible reason why 5DMM won best soundtrack cause it was different from the rest, had lots of exciting funky music that hadn't been heard before, stood out i guess, I DUNNO MAN I'M NOT THE MAJORITY OF THE AUDIENCE

Thanks for voting me and denny guys, we might actually do a SEQUEL to celebrate, me and denny have been discussing a tad bit

Oh c'mon there's a huge bulk of people's names that I know mine is in I just had an urge to try and find it!

Space Goat · 06-01-2006, 01:27 AM

Also, thanks everyone for the feedback so far. It's appreciated.

Beast · 06-01-2006, 02:43 AM

why? It doesn't that that long and the host is reliable.

The format this was in was AWESOME.

Easily best out of the past few years, The only thing I might add next time is examples of what some of the people did, photoshops, voice acting, etc.

Very, very well done.

Andres · 06-01-2006, 03:22 AM

I'd say all you motherfuckers have horrible taste for picking THAT as Best Movie, but it's not like there was anything of worth to get picked, anyway. Y'alls can suck on these two.
