A Centaur's Tale

There it is! The animation of my final year project, finally available for download for all the people that helped me doing it, from the background research The Centaur database to the voices ([Merle] is doing the princess's voice), or all the people that helped me to give a name to the two characters, Altaïr the centaur and Shreya the princess. (That last one was [Shreya]'s idea ;) )

A bit of explanation about this piece. It's a Full Motion Video (FMV) introducing a fictional adventure game called A centaur's tale (tm). After this scene, the centaur wakes up in the morning, and doesn't remember a thing. Not even his name, or his girlfriend. The goal of the game would be to help him recover his memory, and girlfriend before she is forced to marry the prince of the nearby realm. (But he doesn't know that, or at least he forgot!)

As for those who wonder how they'd manage if they get married at the end of the first game, that'd be the subject of a second game.... ;)

Unfortunately this game doesn't exist, and probably never will, unless

A big thank you again to all, I hope you'll enjoy. I apologize for the quality of the compression, it was the price to pay to put it on the internet. The original size is 720*540px, this version is half size. The compression killed the colours a bit too, but you will be able to have an idea of the final quality as I'll post some full resolutions still frames... Anyway. Now time for the main feature...
It's a quicktime movie. Approximate size, 15Mb... I know it's big.... I'll try to get it compressed better at some point, but for now...

2004-03-31 [May-lea]: Think more of the people doing "Finding Nemo" or "shrek"

2004-03-31 [i am heddas lost brother]: :O oh shit yea:D thats alot harder:D ur clip was like1 minute, and they make a 90 min movie:D

2004-03-31 [May-lea]: But I'm alone and they are a lot. So it's alright ^_^

2004-03-31 [i am heddas lost brother]: hehe yeah thats true:) what about alladin? or any othermovie like that! thats drawn, and like 25 frames/second, so there must be alota pics drawn for a movie like that!

2004-03-31 [May-lea]: Yes, that's why 3D animation is easier. You don't have to draw everything. It's different...

2004-04-01 [Arisonu]: It won't download for me. Sadness. :(

2004-04-07 [Pnelma Tirian]: I canna see the movie!

2004-04-07 [May-lea]: Is it that it doesn't download or that you don't have the quicktime player?

2004-04-07 [Pnelma Tirian]: I'm not entirely sure.

2004-04-07 [May-lea]: Have you managed to download it? I warn you, the file is very big so you might have to wait a looooooooooooooooong time. Or just save it to your dirive, that way you'll know how long you have to wait.

2004-04-07 [Pnelma Tirian]: hmm.

2004-04-08 [i am heddas lost brother]:
