To achieve the High Definition glory in The Movies, you can use Tarison mod which allows you to edit the files governing resolution, but even then, whats missing is color depth.

To achieve a very sharp contrast ratio and color depth, you need to use a wonderful program called Fraps, which can export footage in HD. Then when its exported, bring it into a editing program called Sony Vegas, do your cropping and click on snapshot.

Make sure the preview quality is at best: full and there, you have a High Definition screenshot.

But using fraps is completely useless unless your going for the High Definition.

Maan O man. I haven't checked this thread out for a while, but the screenshots I see, amazing, amazing, AMAZING! This looks great!

What did you use for such and clear screenshots?

Killian from the TMU forums said this: Just a quick one to non-US folk; the "@" sign key won't work on the registration form if you have a standard European keyboard; it's Shift-2 to get it, in case you weren't aware, as the site doesn't recognise non-US keyboard layouts which is a bit of a pain when trying to register

I am going to see what I can do to fix this.

The Grey People Official Site Back

moonlightpictures — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 01:03:03 GMT

UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!

So, I've finally have uploaded and launched the official place-holder site for The Grey People which features the latest trailer and gives people the ability to register for updates right into your email or your mobile phone.

And thanks everyone for your kind words as I heal through this surgery. I'm feeling much much better and while my foot is still numb, I have the ability to move it now...so I'll be able to get back onto my feet.

Anyways, as I feel better, I'll be getting back into the production of The Grey People. In the meantime, go to thegreypeople.moonlightpictures.org and register for updates...not only will you get all the info first, but will get an access pass to a hidden site (coming soon) and....did I mention that the first 5 people will get to screen the film before its released!

Mazel tov, you're getting better it seems. I'm in no way joking about this, for I know a lot about injuries from personal experience- and even a debilitating 2 milliliter kidney stone that was more painful than labor (the doctor's diagnosis- true story). As I sympthatize with your pain, I also am glad that nothing is keeping you from fulfilling your dream- and that is The Grey People- a goal that may seem a little unreachable to you with all of these sudden setbacks- the 'leak'; files lost; meticulous editing into the nights etc. I know you won't give up, but even with the painful view of the short run, don't let it deter you from getting this done. I gave up on a promising project like this once, don't you even think to do the same. blessings to you....

Surgery

moonlightpictures — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 03:19:52 GMT

Well, I've had pretty successful surgery, for as some of you know who have been following the production thread on "The Grey People", I developed what is called Dropped Foot due to a severe herniation in my lower back, and I am now in the recovery period. They went into my lower back and dug out the herniation in my back to make the nerve which was being severed cleared. Everything seems fine now, but there was alot of nerve damage so we'll see what happens. But Because I'm not allowed to be sitting for more then 15 minutes at a time, I will not be able to work on The Grey People until I fully recover.

I hope people understand. This most likely will not affect the release of The Grey People which is shooting for a spring 2009.

Thank you for your understanding. Take Care

You are going to have one hell of and end credits.

Modders & Creators

moonlightpictures — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 22:19:15 GMT

It seems I've created the misconception that I created all of these models and such. I just didn't realize I was expected to name the modders and creators of models everytime I post a screenshot.

So I guess I should clear somethings up here.

Not one CGI model that shown in the screenshots so far was modeled by myself. Everything has been modeled by someone else from either TurboSquid, scifi-meshes.com, and other various sources. I have, however, customize some of the textures to meet my vision.

The mods I have used so far in the production of the film (I was going to wait until the credits of the film) are as follows and continually growing:

moonlightpictures - Grey Skin Texture
Phrozin - Phrozin Eyes (two retextured by moonlightpictures)
Alshten - Old Factory/Destroyed Basketball Court
bloox87 - moving ground
coolcalx - fire prop
Disthron - monster props
Duel - white house press room
evolchild - consoles/Glass Office of 2020
Fraasmovies - oval office/Laserwall
Frenhofer - floor props
Rogue - zombie dog
Skelch - new passenger shuttles
Walvince - robot props
andrzchi - cracked desert
crAZRick - craz office/crAZ Corridor/crAZ Reception
eobaggs - future corridor
java192 - city amended
MelGhoul - desert
Patella - white sets
TempleoftheGods - Future City
Lizard - Floor Tiles
marvellousguppimovies - sci-fi apartment pieces/command center/cave/lowered bluescreen set/hypersleep chamber/death star throne room/sci-fi apartment/bio hazard suite
rysto - sci-fi corridor pack/Animated Actor Props/sci-fi bridge pack
Fraas - Sewer system
Rik_Vargard - Space base
Ubernewbie - Uber Mod Pack/Custom Cryo-tubes/Cinema Theater/Custom Bluescreen/Greenscreen set/provided face and body .dds files for retexturing
werecool - made a custom made nuclear missile
HouseMods/Tarison - all of the custom animations
---------------------
ALL OF THE NAMES OF THOSE WHO MODELED THE .3DS IMPORT FILES MODELS YOU SEE IN THE SCREENSHOTS

Atlantis City set from Stargate modeled by: SGA-3D
Colonial Fleet low-poly (which covers the space-station, the cargo ship and any other ships seen in the screenshots; retextured by: moonlightpictures) from Battlestar Galactica modeled by: Coxxon

Earth/Space/Stars/Lens Flares/Ion Exhaust/and ship/city retextures modeled by: moonlightpictures

Hope that clears up the air.

Damnit, now I have to decide between a video camera and sony vegas pro..I think video camera tho....who knows...

I would go with a camcorder. To start, I recommend a Lieca Dicomar 3CCD Panasonic Camcorder...they are cheap, like $500 bucks now because of the rise of HD camcorders.

nexusinteract:
Wow! I believe I have seen these before- maybe in one of those Supernova threads or something- maybe some deja vu. Anyways, it seems that you've establish an unique style to your directing and look thereof for the film that I clearly seen from Supernova- meaning you've already established and separated yourself as a talented, and original director in my book. Let us know more details with the direction as they come.

None of the cgi so far has been something from the old "Journey of Man: Supernova" production...all of those are in a separate folder awaiting use.

RavensFan09:
Wow! You sure know how to take a screenshot! "> Keep us informed as usual! I like what I see.

lol. Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the shots.

Boy, I sure did sleep in today. I woke up at noon and I think its because of the long days I've been putting into the production. But I'm at it today beginning a new section of the film. So tonight, I'll show you my progress!
