A long time ago (blah blah galaxy) I tried my hand at some Machinima video capture. For those who don’t know, Machinima is using video game footage, re-edited together to make a video. A lot of folks use the medium to make music videos, some people have ran with it and made full series of funny videos (like Red Vs. Blue). Well, a few years back some friends and I tried to make a series called Stupid Hobbitsess. It was made using the Lord Of The Rings Online game. Unfortunately, the videos were pulled from YouTube because of Digital rights for some of the music used. (less than 30 seconds worth). So now, they only exist on my Hard Drive. I may see if I can get them up here somewhere.
Anyways, I used a capture software called FRAPS. It’s one of the popular choices for Video Game capture. Problem is, back in the day, when I ran the capture on my old system, it would lag the game…..a lot. On a while I decided to try and run FRAPS behind The Old Republic and see what the hit would be. I was amazed to find that there was no lag at all. Now, it is an updated system and FRAPS has been updated quite a few times since then so it may be more streamlined. Below is a sample capture of some in game footage. This kind of stirs the creative juices a bit, well see if anything comes from it.
Ninja Edit: Looks like the old Myspace page for Stupid Hobbitsess is still up with the videos. If you dare venture into Myspace land, you can see them here
