I can make movies on my PC?!?


With movies and gaming as two of my favorite hobbies, how could I pass up an opportunity to run my own movie studio and make movies on my PC with The Movies?!? Of course I wouldn't pass up the chance!

At the end of 2005, I bought this game and started to make my own movies (as soon as I got through the Sim-ish game) for my movie studio, Into the Aether. I had time to complete two movies and was in the process of third, before Munchking No. 2 came into the world a little early!


The first movie I released to the public was The Return. It was a gritty western of a sheriff determined to take back his town from the evil Kurt Logan, by any means neccessary. It averaged 4/5 stars, and was praised for the excellent editing. Not too bad..

My second movie was Waking Dreams, a story of a college student who has trouble distinguishing between dreams and reality. This was a movie where I created my own credit sequence, a first among The Movies community at the time. It averaged 3.91/5 stars.

I was working on my third movie, Operative Raven: The Hit, when my second munchkin was born. A "hold" was placed on production, but now I have a bit of free time to continue "filming". Since I started work on the movie again, Lionhead Studios has released an expansion pack (more like a program fix), Stunts & Effects. Included was the "free camera" option, which should have been included in the initial release.

Stay tuned here for more info on my upcoming movie, Operative Raven: The Hit! In the meantime, why don't you visit the Into the Aether movie studio and catch a couple of my movies! Don't forget the popcorn!
