My First Machinima

I don't know why before I couldn't get Windows Movie Maker to work with my sims 3 videos, but it does now.  I was looking at a few camera tutorials and I decided to mess around and this is the product:






Just a warning, there's no awesome plot or amazing set or anything.  I just had a bunch of sims dancing basically.  I'm still kind of diggin it though.  Lol.  The lip sync is off some in spots but whatev xD


p.s. Idk why the quality is so crappy.  It's not that way on my computer D:

Machinima? Maybe.

I'm thinking about trying my hand at machinima.  I just want to goof off with it and see what's up.  I might post my first sad attempt on here, but don't expect it to be good or even make sense.  I just want to do something to get the feel for it.  Not sure If I want to do some kind of cute thing about my legacy or maybe a music video.  If I do a music video for a song it won't be anything like the actual music video.  I like to take the idea of the song and make it my own.  Anyway we shall see after I get my nasty arse kitchen cleaned up ;)

Am I weak?

I've seen some pretty horrible things (anything from bone-deep bedsores to intestines) in the last two-three years as a nurse/nursing student and I wasn't bothered as far as getting queasy or sick to my stomach. Upset that this had happened to someone or that someone had let it happen to another being yes.

I also like watching scary movies. I guess I mean scary, though, and not horror. It's not the blood and guts that bother me. I was trying to figure out what it was that made this distinction. The reason I have only watched the first Saw movie and why I will never watch another. The distinction is the torture. I can stomach quick deaths, even with guts spilling out and copious amounts of blood. However, one thing I learned quick in the nursing profession is that there are things worse than death. THAT is what bothers me.

That being said I almost flipped completely out on my husband last night. He probably honestly thought I was psychotic. He decided to show me the trailer for an independent movie, saying he couldn't believe someone was crazy enough to have this idea. If you really want to know the movie, I'll tell you but I'd rather not mention it right now. Understandably, he probably didn't realize how sensitive I am to thing but I do remember one previous incident that should have given him some kind of clue. I kind of flipped out when someone was telling specific details about a movie where these people post videos on youtube of them torturing this guy for.. ransom? and instead of helping, people just comment with more ways to torture him... and they just wouldn't stop telling about it!! I don't know if it was that bad, or if I've just become more sensitive over time, but if I was able to somewhat stomach the first Saw movie and just the trailer alone for this movie disturbed me this much, then maybe it says something.

Am I weak? Was I wrong to flip out on him? I really would like to know your thoughts/opinions. At least he knows now...
