New year updates

[Guest]

Thanks Ross! Where can I purchase this guide? Isn't it the first one on the valve store page?

[Guest]

Oh good, Freeman's mind will continue!

A bit selfish but it is one of my favorite things.

[Guest]

Keep up the good work. I look forward to new episodes of CP.

Have you considered doing some kind of podcast as well?

[Guest]

Freeman's Mind is one of the greatest machinima's ever created. I (selfishly) pray that you will play through the entire game. Regardless, you've done great work so far and keep it up!

[Guest]

You know, I really hope this gets answered, because I'm not sure.

Is "Civil Protection" made using Half-Life 2 or one of the episodes? And does the guide Ross made explain how to do what he does in CP or for stuff like Galaxy Gulp, or both?

Sorry if this question irritates anyone.

[Guest]

Sorry, but I'm not sure if my last comment worked or not. It told me some kind of error last time.

Anyway, is CP done in HL 2 or one of the episode games? And does the guide teach you how to do stuff in HL, or do something like Galaxy Gulp, or both?

Sorry if this question irritates you, but I really would like to know. Hope someone can tell me.

anonymous: No, I only have a PC and even then there are more games for it than I'll ever have time to play.

Usodstallion: I'm not sure about the Valve store. The official title is "Machinima Choreography with the Source Engine". I plan to have a permanent link to it on the new site.

anonymous: CP episodes 1 - 4 were done in HL2, 5 - 6, and the special were done in Episode 1, and 6 had some scenes done in Episode 2 as well. The guide I made covers Episode 1, but 90-95% of what I go over applies to all versions of the Source engine.

Ooh, can't wait till Gordon starts meeting the marine douchebags.

(Yes another comment)

Thanks Ross.

When my video is completed in the upcoming months or so, I will tell you first. I know that's awhile, but sometime in the future when I get back to you...well...if you could check it out then that would be kickass.
Adios! Best of luck on all the future videos.

Hey Ross, how do you do the CP episodes? I don't want to get the guide, but what program do you use to record, and how do you move their heads like that in hammer? How do you remove one shadow instead of all of them? And, how do you make a strider smack you with its legs?

[Guest]

Freeman's Mind is one of the funniest things on you tube. You are very talented at the running commentaries you script. Keep em coming, it is really appreciated.

[Guest]

Thank you very much for this videos. All of them are perfect.It would be great if there are some english subtitles for them.

[Guest]

pdan4, it's all done is Source. Footage is gained using the built-in 'Source Recorder' and everything else is performed in Hammer. You just need time to learn how to use it so efficiently. There's certainly a lot of online tutorials for one eager to learn.

[Guest]

I suspect this episode of FM is going to be outrageous(at least I hope)

[Guest]

hey ross, love your work man.you are my favorite machinima maker. every one you make has made me laugh so far. keep up the great work!

[Guest]

UsodStallion: Yeah, depending on what you're doing, machinima can easily take a couple months.

Serbdude: Unfortunately not, this one will pretty much just be more of the same. I do have some crazy stuff planned for FM, but I have to pace it since there's still a lot to cover.

Everybody: Thanks for all the positive feedback, I'll do my best to keep making more.

[Guest]

Which entity do you use for camera-angle positioning?

[Guest]

Your Videos are awesome Ross Scott and I hope you make more Freemans mind...Watching them gives me a blast from the past whenever I see them...But Half-Life wont work on my computer anymore...
It musta taken a few takes to get that guy to say shut up when you asked him to be your human shield...hilarious

[Guest]

I understand that hole voice thing, I have a bottle of throat spray in my bedroom.

[Guest]

I have shown your works to many of my friends and now they too follow your videos releases. Keep up the good work!
