Ford Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) I have a Youtube channel under the same username as here. I came up with an idea to make vlogs featuring my MOCs as they go through daily life (but really my life struggles when I want to talk about them ) You get the idea, and it has probably been done before. All I need is for you to post a point of discussion either on one of the videos or in this topic on BZPower.I can discuss anything you want on the show, the pilot being my thoughts on Bionicle 2015. I can discuss the weather, school (including subjects), life (whoa), sciences, fan projects, and much more. All you need to do is tell me exactly what I should speak about.Please keep it appropriate! I really don't want to talk about issues that will get people mad... (Politics, I'm looking at you...) I would also like to mention that I do have an overarching story taking place within the show. Series Playlist: hereSeries TrailerEpisode 1Episode 2Episode 3Episode 4Episode 5Episode 5.5Episode 6Episode 6.5Episode 7Short 1Short 2-Easter Special!Episode 8: Part 1Episode 8: Part 2Episode 9 - Coming sometime in the near future. In the meantime, why not provide some topics for future episodes?I have noticed that episodes that showcase certain projects and happenings, like the 2015 reaction and Nova Orbis videos, are doing rather well, so if you are to leave a suggestion, I encourage a Bionicle-based fan project.Here is a list of what I may be or will definitely be covering in a future video: Already covered:-My thoughts on Bionicle 2015 (Episode 1)-Bionicle: Nova Orbis by NickonAquaMagna (Episode 4)-Okoto Online Game by bionicleFanatic (Episode 6)-The 1st Shadow~'s Comics by ~T1S~, with ~T1S~! (Episode 8 Parts 1 & 2) Maybe-but-not-sure-yet :-Bionicle: ANP (Audio-Narration-Project) (casting topic here)-The Tiny Gif Shop by Loganto the Le-Matoran (and Click) *because they made me the gif in my signature and I love it!*-The Kanohi Force-Solid Bronze Mask of Time by Vahkiti: Time GuardianPLEASE let me know about any other projects and happenings so I can add them to the list. I may add this to the first topic at a later time if necessary.Thank you all!

The 1st Shadow Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Hm. Interesting bit of work here. As for whether or not this has been done before, yeah, it kinda has. Though I do comics rather than videos. (Not counting my movie for next year.) Anyway, I would suggest that you try to work on the voices a bit, because it's kinda hard to tell when one character has stopped talking and another starts. I like your camera work--very smooth, with good transitions. I would suggest, though, that you employ the use of stop-motion and record the voices later (or vice-versa). Reason I say this is because of one shot in the first episode where one character was talking, but the camera was on his legs, so that you could maneuver his arm at the shoulder off-screen. But otherwise, this looks pretty interesting. I'd like to see what more you have to offer. 1 Quote ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best I can do at this point is just take pictures and make it a slideshow.I still have ways to go with the voices. After all, I am only one person, but thank you for paying mind to that point!I want to make Episode 5 in the style I mentioned before, because it will be a huge plot point for the rest of the series. If you can provide any tips of how to go through with it, please let me know.

I'll PM you about it a little later.For the voices, I mean trying to pull off different accents and tones. For example, in addition to my normal voice, I can do impressions of Gollum from LotR, Sean Connery, and Robert Carlyle. For those last two, my tone sounds similar, but I'm employing different speech patterns and accents for each, and that makes all the difference. 1 Quote ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those last two, my tone sounds similar, but I'm employing different speech patterns and accents for each, and that makes all the difference.I've already tried that on other characters. Now to nail down a deep, menacing voice and a (somewhat) female-sounding voice, unless you know anyone who could do that for me? Episode 5 is going to take a lot longer than I had expected. I've run into some problems with editing and uploading, so it'll be another week at the most. That means that a short holiday themed video will no longer happen. UPDATE: I just got done with a lot of editing, and it turns out that Episode 5 could possibly be the best episode in the series yet. I will try to work on it to get it out by the weekend, but I can't make any promises. Finals are coming, and they bring with them stress... UPDATE #2: Episode 5 has been released! I created a list of ideas for episodes above! Let me know what you think! Just got done editing a short. It will be titled "Episode 5.5" because it is just a running joke that I have seen going in the Bionicle community at the moment.It should be up by the end of the week depending on if my internet connection decides not to give up on life or not, as it has been slow today and is kind of bugging me... Episode 5.5 is online! Watch it ! Also, a big thank you to the people who have been with me since I started this project. You really help me in giving me the motivation to continue. Episode 6 is finally online!In this episode, I feature the Okoto Online Game by bionicleFanatic, as well as my thoughts on the Pre-Alpha of the game so far.You can watch the episode .

Ford Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 It's been a while, but I am here to announce something truly exciting! I am currently working on episode 8, only this time I am writing a script."But, you said you did improv only! Why write a script now?" Well, that's why I am here to tell you that Myself and The 1st Shadow are doing a collaboration project for episode 8! I just started the script, and the episode will feature voice acting from T1S himself, as well as a Q&A on the comics! We are super excited to bring you this, however, it means that this episode will not come out for a while. I am in college, as is T1S, so we need time to devote to our schoolwork and such. No release date as of yet, but I will let you know here when it is ready. What questions do you want answered by T1S? Let me know in a post! 1 Quote http://i.imgur.com/kbP5Svg.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/O8CcqC5.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/kbP5Svg.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghidora131 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Now, THIS is interesting! I've got three questions for the two of you. First of all, What do you think of my written works? Second, what would you do for a Klondike bar? Finally, can we see an evil form of your self-MOC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Now, THIS is interesting! I've got three questions for the two of you. First of all, What do you think of my written works? Second, what would you do for a Klondike bar? Finally, can we see an evil form of your self-MOC?Thanks for taking interest in my series! It's stuff like this that helps keep it going! 1. I have yet to complete your written works. I have read a bit of The Kanohi Force, but I have not read any of the recent additions due to school and such. As soon as I get to it, I will get back to you! 2. I would go on a quest and battle the forces of evil for that Klondike Bar. It better be Oreo flavor, though. (Now I want to include this in a future episode, or maybe a short. lol anyway) 3. I have been debating making an evil form of my self-MOC for quite a while now, and I might just get to it. All of the new Bionicle 2015 stuff and all of the contests going around have really gotten my creative juices flowing again. An evil Fordian is not out of the question, as I would like to make one as long as I can get to it. I have another Rode, but I am currently using it for a contest submission that I have not photographed yet. As soon as that is done, I may get to making another version of my self-MOC.

Ford Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) I can't believe it, but I just (nearly) finished the script for the next episode and filmed the episode to come after it, the finale of season 1! (or so you think...) EDIT: I got done MOST of the finale. I still have a few scenes to add on to it, but I really need to get the script for episode 8 done first!

Ford Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 It's been a while, hasn't it? Today is Easter, so I have made an Easter special! Check it out here! As for the progress of Episode 8, I now have most of the lines recorded. All I need to do is record more lines, start filming, edit, and post.Expect Episode 8 to be out some time in May. I've been really busy with courses and the next two weeks for me are nothing but due dates for semester projects. Please have patience, and while you're at it you should watch my play through of the first two chapters of the Okoto Online Game here!

Ford Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Again, it's been a while... Be happy to know that now that the month of May is upon us, I am now done my first year of college. Also be happy to know that I will finally get back to making Episode 8! I'm excited to finally start filming it now that I have most of what I need for it already done. However, I've decided to make some changes to the ending of the episode. Let's just say that even my guest star may or may not be surprised... I wouldn't expect the episode to come out soon, though. I'm still gathering my bearings and resting after a long week of due dates and finals. Remember: NO OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE AT THE MOMENT.

Ford Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) Bionicle: The Vlog Series, Episode 8 will be out sometime soon. I just want to upload everything first, and then put it all up at once. It is my hope that you, the viewer, will like it. The full episode will be released in two parts: 1) The actual episode, with all the quirks that a normal episode of The Vlog Series has. Oh, and in case you didn't already know, ~The 1st Shadow~ is my very special guest star! 2) An interview with ~The 1st Shadow~ himself, with details about the comics and even his life stories! Again, as in my previous post: NO OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE AT THE MOMENT. As for what will happen after Episode 8; I will (hopefully) start making Episode 9. After that I will be gone for a while due to my summer internship, which ends on July 17th (btw, that's my birthday! ). Thank you all for your continued support of my series. Remember, if you have a project that you want to get out there, let me know. It may just become an episode.

Ford Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 I just finished shooting the most emotional video I have ever filmed. This comes after a really crummy day.It'll be out next week (hopefully). Expected release date (if I can make it) is July 17th (a.k.a. my 19th birthday).

Ford Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Haven't really been at this for a while, have I... BAD ME, BAD! I've been MOCing up storm and building some new characters for future videos, as well as updating current characters in the roster. I'll also be experimenting with a new style of filming that actually makes the episode look like a character is shooting a vlog. All in all, expect great changes!
