DeltaDizzy Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 15 hours ago, Just Jim said: Oh, this is good. What I based a lot of Emiko's time travel on was a fascinating lecture I saw on BBC by Brian Cox on the "Science" of Dr. Who, in which he explained quite clearly why going backwards in time is theoretically impossible... And this lecture is what lead me to write why Emiko's brain is so scrambled... It's impossible by the known laws of physics, but the ET's still did it somehow... Anyway, here's an excerpt from that lecture. I wish I could find the whole thing, because it's quite good, and very much on-topic as well. Oh, and having the quote "Jim really is a time-traveler" in the lecture is just a huge gob of icing on the cake... hehehehe 3 Now I just need to think of a subtle way to ask Jim if he likes the show...

But it would take a serious amount of work, and quite probably more than one animator... I doubt @SQUAD could afford it, even if they were so inclined. But it's really fun to think about... Well, it wouldn't take more time then about 7 all-animation Project Odyssey episodes... and maybe 4 years You'd just need: All Emiko mods KerbCam KASu Someone with Bob Fitch's patience A narrator A good editing program (unlike iMovie) Someone smart Voice actors Other stuff Edited July 5, 2018 by HansonKerman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually doesn’t seem like a much larger project than Just Jim has writing this because all the story and events are already laid out.

I think I mentioned this already... getting a little Deja Vu action... but this is something I made a few years ago called "The City of Gold and Lead" based on the novel of the same name, by John Christopher (HIGHLY recommended reading) This was in a program called Lightwave, and is all sorts of fun, but mindbogglingly time consuming. And between writing Emiko, and the project I can't talk about, I just don't have time to even consider animating right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahem. La la laaaaa The world is cooooming to an end! (to an end, to an end) We better put a paper bag over our heads! (a paaaaaper bag!) See? Plus, the only good Kerbal voices I can do are in backwards English. My voice is too high, and the iMovie sound filters just only work for girl Kerbals.

Their narrator(Daniel Floyd) has his voice pitch-shifted to be higher for reasons I dont want to explain here. You may find the technique useful though.

DeltaDizzy Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 The narrator normally sounds like this(he is the guy on the podium) Notice how the pitch of his voice is shifted up in the videos. That's what im talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansonKerman Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I know that, I can do that, but my voice is just too high to work with iMovie's voice-shift-up-filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called a tc helicon voicelive touch voice processor, and it can do about a ga-zillion voice effects. I haven't used it in a while, but I bought it way back when to do flute effects... and it could easily do kerbal voices. here's a demo video... I know we'll never be able to actually do this, but it's fun to dream, so I suppose it isn't totally off-topic... lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansonKerman Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Wait, what?! It was just a joke! I only talked about it because @DeltaDizzy brought it up! I could try a YouTube synopsis once Emiko Station is done, though! Thanks for the tip, though. I’d just have to check in with my parents. iMovie takes up a whole lot of space on my bad Mac, and I can’t post anything more than 15 minutes long. But the TC Voice Processer might work! Just have to wait till Emiko closes. This might be a problem... Edited July 8, 2018 by HansonKerman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't deny it would be a dream come true to see Emiko published, or made into a video series or movie. But I'm realistic enough to know it's not going to happen . @SQUAD doesn't have that kind of money, and KSP just isn't a big enough, mainstream kind of game to make it profitable. But having said that, it's fun to play around with the idea, and who we'd get to do the voices and all that. And if I ever did hook up with an animator who wanted to do something... well.. I have the voice processor... lmao... OK... back on-topic... I'm playing with a new prototype... The Grand Kerb-Jet...

It's a sort of hybrid cross between my Diamondback SSTO and Raptor landers. And I'm really surprised how well it's doing so far. I still need to fine-tune it, and maybe add a couple flaps, but for the most part it's already a very stable flyer in both lower and upper atmospheres. And I think it looks pretty cool!
