Xtranormal Animated Movies

More please, when you get a chance. Really enjoyed these.

I love your videos, Paul. Hope you make more.

Yes, I'm doing more.

Others are welcome to also. The software is very user-friendly and it's pretty easy and cheap to create these two-minute skits.

This is best watched in full-screen high definition with the captions (subtitles) turned on. The theme changes from the lecture-theatre format after a minute and a half, but I don't want to spoil the surprise by saying what it changes to.

There should be something for everyone here, whether an indie, never-innie, exy, or whatever.

Make sure you have the captions switched on (to view the subtitles). Otherwise you might find Napoleon's accent heavy going.

I started this thread to have somewhere for ESMBers (not just me!) to put a copy of their Xtranormal movies. And to encourage ESMBers to make more animations!

Xtranormal at www.xtranormal.com has the tagline, "If you can type, you can make movies." It is free or low-cost and easy-to-use software. You can use their online software, or you can download their Desktop software and make movies offline, then upload them to YouTube etc.

It really is free or cheap for individual use. The text-to-speech voices are completely free of charge. You buy characters and sets, paying with XP, "Xtranormal Points." Characters cost 37 or 75 or 150 XP each, sets might cost 150 XP. The Desktop version is cheaper, as there are some things you have to pay for if you use the online moviemaker that are free with the Desktop one. You get 300 XP free when you open a new account. I made my first movie, Tom Meets Katie, using that 300 XP: 75 XP each for the two characters and 150 XP for the set. Once you have bought assets, you can reuse them for free in future movies.

The Desktop version is Windows-only, and needs a relatively modern computer to run on. There are also some things you can do on the Desktop version that you can't do on the online one. As I write this I have completed 4 movies, all using the Desktop version and none using the online one. You cannot move a completed movie, or a half-made one, between the two bits of software.

Xtranormal seems to have been going for a couple of years. I only learned about it a couple of days ago, on this thread from palehorse: http://www.forum.exscn.net/showthrea...uise-the-movie.
