Dude rocks out on Taiko No Tatsujin McVee 2015-07-06 | Follow me on:Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/jmcveeSteam: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/mcveeTumblr: http://jmcvee.tumblr.comTwitter: twitter.com/JMcVinnieMany of you who don't follow my tumblr may not be aware that I'm currently living in Tokyo for a year. I'm half way through and really enjoying it so far. I've tried to share my experiences on my blog here: http://jmcvee.tumblr.comThis video seemed to go down really well so I figured I would share it with my youtube homies too. I was playing a Mario kart arcade game when this guy playing Taiko No Tatsujin next to us started staring at us and doing crazy faces while playing. He then went on to perform a few songs for us and this is one of the recordings I managed to get.On the video front. I do not have anything SFM planned currently. But I am starting production on my own independent PC game soon with some familiar faces and celebrities involved. When it's ready to share I'll post about it here first. Until then, enjoy the show.

It was refreshing going back to where i started and using the old trailer methods again.

Living Taiko Legend - Harry101UK McVee 2016-09-04 | Harry asked my to post this so here you go.And on the pedestal these words appear: 'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.
End of the Line 2 Leak McVee 2015-12-25 | Confidential Christmas release.Merry Christmas y'allTHIS IS A JOKEWas just clearing out all my GTAV online demo files and found this. We're working on our game currently. Expect to see me post stuff for that sometime in 2016 when it's ready.
SSX3 - Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher Ground (X-Ecutioners Remix McVee Edit) McVee 2015-11-29 | I've wanted this song since the first advertisement of SSX3 came out. Unfortunately they've never released the full track. On top of that, EA lost the original when the EA Sports BIG servers got nuked. Others have tried rebuilding it using the in-game files which were a bit limited. I had been collecting all instances of it I could from advertising, websites, videos, in game assets and so on since 2002. I believe this is the most accurate recreation to date.

The beauty of a GTAV bug McVee 2015-04-14 | So every time I go to this street junction online. There is a massive pile of trucks and cars. Then a few seconds later they explode into a shower of metal. I recorded it 17 times but this is by far my favorite. I might be making some pretty cool GTAV vids soon once they smooth out the launch issues. The tool has potential but I'm going to need to play with it some more.
Too much cargo, not enough time. McVee 2015-03-17 | So I was playing Cities: Skylines and a made a pretty massive city with a load of export goods. But I only had 1 harbour for cargo exporting. After noticing some weirdness on the horizon I decided to go and watch. This is the result. I think the AI imploded.As a note this game is great and I've not experienced any other issues outside of this one. I highly recommend it for people who wanted more out of Sim City.Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/255710

Battlefield Hardline BETA DK Mode Glitch McVee 2014-06-25 | END OF THE LINE STATUS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DESCRIPTION!So when I'm not working in SFM during the day I'm chilling with some Battlefield Hardline in the evening. I had this happen this evening. Figured I'd share it. This video is a one off. End of the Line is next.EOTL Status: So we're hitting animation complete this week on the video. After that it's a bit of clean up and lighting/effects/background work to wrap up. The map is in a good state where people are happy with it. We're waiting on Valve approval to push it to final.
A little update on End of the Line McVee 2014-01-19 | Just wanted to cover some points before people started literally exploding.NOTE: This does not mean there won't be cosmetics.

No Mercy [SFM] McVee 2012-11-30 | So I've been super busy as usual. In the brief few moments I've had at home I wanted to try 3 different little experiments within SFM and After Effects. They were not big enough to warrant their own videos so I threw this together as a little test project. The 3rd test ended up being way too complex for the time I had to spend on it so it just reverted it too the freeze frame spin arounds at the end.Follow me on:Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/jmcveeSteam: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/mcveeTumblr: http://jmcvee.tumblr.comTwitter: twitter.com/JMcVinnieBig thanks to JP Neufeld http://www.youtube.com/user/rigaudio For the SFX audio mix.The song is "I know the truth" by Pretty LightsI'm amazed at how many people don't understand different genres of electronic music. Just because it has bass it doesn't make it dubstep haha.
Practical Problems [Behind The Scenes] McVee 2012-07-27 | As promised, here's a glimpse behind the curtain. I'll give a little explanation of what you're seeing in each shot.Link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RYeKYj4vEYThe motion capture is done with 2 kinects and ipisoft basic editon.http://www.ipisoft.com/products.php0.00-0.10: A scaled down rocket with mini custom cloud textures and matte painting square. The rocket is the only thing that doesn't move while the rest moves up and rotates towards it as the camera shakes, creating the illusion.0.11-0.18: Another scaled down rocket. This time in a custom version of 2fort with the bridge removed. Then using custom individual plank pieces i rebuilt it. The mini rocket creates the illusion of being super high as the full scale rocket would clip through the skybox. When it gets to the point of impact I switch out the mini rocket for the full size one and line them up via the camera perspective. I then animated each of the pieces of the bridge myself with some payload pre baked explosion rubble in front to represent the ground.0:19 onwards: Examples of the ipi motion capture data via 2 kinects. I didn't bother moving my head or hands much as it only tracks the lower half of the spine and the forearms. Upper chest/neck is not recorded and needs to be done by hand. The map at the end was made in Hammer. A quick rip and paste job of 2fort with a load of assets added to the pile within SFM.

But after getting an infected foot I had a bit of free time. I had a plan to do this video since TF2 first came out but I wanted to wait for Source Filmmaker to go official. 130 hours in SFM and Hammer later, here it is. As my foot healed I was getting less and less time to work on it. So I got it to a point where I was happy and just shut it down. It has it's flaws but it was a case of release now or never.The animation work i did is pretty janky, i'm still learning a lot of this.Most of it is kinect mo cap of myself and Zach. I barely touched it afterwards for clean up, mostly only the head and hands.I Still play TF2 quite a bit, always a demoman.Featured on fox news: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJgZeZ2FaCg

Half Life 2 - Session (HD) Made 2005 McVee 2009-07-05 | This is where it all started for me, the first video I ever put effort into, Session. Entirely made from Gmod and Sony Vegas alone. I made it in August 2005 over a 3 day period and a load of editing. Strangely enough this was before HD really existed and i didnt know much about video resolution but i somehow managed to actually shoot it in HD. After realising HD was too big for the time compared to everything else I made a shrunk down version, which i put online. I actualy kept the huge one, don't know why. But now i'm glad I did.Song: Linkin Park - Session
