Practice Machinima Documentary

Watch without sound first! Then watch with sound!




Interesting how watching without sound can give a different meaning and understanding compared to watching with sound.

For this documentary I have used the Reflexive and Observational modes.
I wanted to engage actively with the issues of realism, representation and also the use of voice-over commentary.

I believe with using these modes the viewer has a better understanding of what is really happening. Gives the viewer a more detailed and broader context.

Sun Study in Crysis

C4 Explosion

Basically here I placed C4 inside the centre of the house. It will be interesting to see if the roof of the house will get blown all the way up into the air or fall back onto the floor leaving only the internal and external walls blown up and destroyed.



Was expecting a bit more from that. But anyway as you can see the roof came back down onto the ground and didn't exploded into thin pieces.

Car Explosion

Ok here I was having a bit too much fun with the editor playing around with gravity volume. I placed quite a lot of cars. These cars all have petrol in them. So once it hits something hard. It explodes! Take a look for yourself.



I was also impressed by this because the amount of debris you get and even more debris after something has already been blown up. Pretty cool I think!

Red Barrel Explosion

I placed Red Barrels along one side of the house. I believe that the debris from the side that got blown up would knock down the other parts of the house. My theory is that if the physics is 100% accurate in the editor then my hypothesis should be correct.



As you can see from the 2nd view I was correct and very pleased to see how realistic this editor can be!

Animation of Crysis Map

Here is the animation of my crysis map.

Capture A Still - Landscape Feature - Waterfall

The image below is of my map. I spent the whole day playing around with the editor testing out different things. The most interesting feature I managed to create was the waterfall feature. This took the longest to complete.

I had to place different entities at right scales and orientations to achieve the water running down the rocks. I also had to create a fake water source at the top of the fall and create the ripple effect on the water at the bottom of the fall. To finish the feature off I gave it an audio source file by using the Soundspot properties.

By adjusting the volume radius it allows you to have a more realistic interaction with the environment. As you get closer to the waterfall the audio source for it becomes louder. Once you start moving away from the feature the audio starts to fade away.

You can also see I have been playing around with the explosives. I managed to get the cars to react to the shock wave impact from the explosion by playing around with the gravityVolume properties.
