I would not like to be in your mind Sam. Little hint as to why you are filming peeps?
Of course it is cool to be a Fable fan...
You must post a pic of you in your tux!!

"It's almost cool to be a Fable 2 fan!" - I woulodn't go that far, but its cool in my mind. What are the figures for the video dairies? I'd quite like to know.
There were about 12 video dairies for Fale 1 so does that mean we're half way through? What would be is more screenshots in the next vids, please, ill be ya friend, ill invite you to my birthday party.

I like the LH diaries, mainly because they are about my next favorit game (Fable2), but also because they show some stuff from behind the scene (Ep. 5, second half, for example) and ... they are well done,

.. no joke, Sam you know how to do that kind of stuff

Oh and if you could, it'd be nice to get a rough estimate of when this ones coming out, looking forward to it

The awards for the International Visual Communications Association that 'Inside Lionhead' take place on the 4th April...so I hope that either way you let us know how you get on.
Anyway you will always have the first place award in the hearts of the Fable community

Heh, I know EXACTLY what you mean about people not listening to small tech details! When I complain about a song mix/arrangement, no one cares that there is too much gain reduction on the compression, that the EQ used is too colouring, that the fade out is fractionally too short or that my guitar is a milli-second out of time with the other 40-odd guitar tracks.

Its hard being creative....

Anyway, next vid in mid-April? My Birthday is the 22nd, so that would be a nice pressie!

Josmeister — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 02:28:08 GMT

it would be really if you told us the release dates of every video diary(or of te game itself).

Not hoping for it though

re: It's so hard, darling!

lionteeth — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 03:17:12 GMT

he can't really tell us the exact release dates of the daries because he only makes them and releases them but the other people are charge of getting it to us.

re: It's so hard, darling!

Mortalitis_Infinitas — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 13:25:59 GMT

Sounds Sam. I've heard many a people mention how the diaries have been improving in terms of quality; which isn't to say the early ones were bad, you're just getting better.

Looking forward to seeing the long term goals for "Inside Lionhead" come to fruition. work Sam!

Congrats for the award nomination, I will cover the story then .

"Plus trying to film everyone on the team, but that's for another different reason..." That sounds like footage for a Making Of documentory, maybe for the Limited Edition .

I have a theory that picture 10 in the photo gallery ( I think it's 10) is the Grey Tomb, as referenced by the map. I will burrow through details, so be sure to drop more hints, Sam. Oh, and yes post the bow tie pic... while standing in front of a wall of concept art.

I like how much you care about the quality of your work, because in it of itself you are an artist and you strive for really genuine work. I like the diaries as well b/c it makes more anxious for fable 2. These are the kinds of things ppl dont see in works of artist. They dont how much effort they put into that piece and they dont appreciate it. You catch all your minor details that to many is insignificant but for you its a big deal, because for the rest of the day everything you watch that video and you see your small mistake its like something you want take off your chest. you just have to fix it because your complete. I know how you feel and i appreciate your diaries even more than b4. We live in a world where free thinking is disregarded.
P.S. sorry i like to analyze a lot eventhough it might seem like it has nothing nothing to do with what you really thought about.

Yellow bow tie, interesting!

Nice to see you in your Sam...and you really did have a yellow bowtie. Cute man cute!

re: It's so hard, darling!

fluKe — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 13:19:50 GMT

I'm suessing the footage of *all* the staff may mean we'll be getting another cool video like the one included with The Movies on PC as a sort of alternate credits then?

As for the technical difficulties with lighting etc.... tell me about it! I'm into photography and it's all about the lighting! Keep up the work though, it's always nice to see behind the scens

AMAUNATOR_THE_REVEALER — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 22:22:36 GMT

Don't beat yourself up too much, Sam, I wasn't into Fable 2 at all (not having the right console bites ), but the diaries are giving me a tingle, though you should ease up on quickly zooming in or out of a shot ^^. Unless you got a stabiliser for the camera, it is going to look a bit shaky .

And lighting, well... lighting is lighting... If you want people to look it isn't just a question of putting a lamp in their face so you can see them... The difficulty is that the lighting has to come from behind the camera (and/or sideways, but from the behind being optimal, and from different angles at a time being perfect), has to be consistent (using the same kind of light as often as you can, though not all lighting suits the skin tone of each person (especially not cloistered coders ) and has to be warm rather than eerie (no budget cuts here I'm afraid; TL lamps are , but (can't find the English term: "spaarlampen" those lights, not easily done!

Oh well, that's just a little tip in case it might come in handy (but I think you know most of these things already ). More work on the diaries demanded here!
