Blood Gulch Ballet
Okay, I'm probably gonna get some flak for this one, because of all the movies we've declined to host recently... but hear me out. Rory Hartley and Bill Copeland put together a movie they called 'Blood Gulch Ballet.' It's three and a half minutes of Blood Gulch gameplay, set to classical music. (I recognize the piece, but can't name it.) It weighs in at 15.4 mb; it's smaller than it was when it was submitted, but I didn't reduce the quality very much. (It wasn't great to begin with.) What tipped the balance for me were three things:
- There are some really nice moves in here
- We haven't posted movies recently, so Mythica's not heavily loaded
- It was dedicated to Brian Morden (sue me, I'm sentimental)
Grab the QuickTime-encoded movie at Mythica.org, or the Psyjnir Complex Hotline server. Update: Thanks to Ninja on Fire and Stuntmutt, who both pointed out that the music is Rimsky-Korsakov's 'Flight of the Bumblebee'. (Appropriate, no?) If you're ever in Portland, Oregon, look for Rimsky-Korsakoffee's, the best coffee house in the northwest. (I miss it.) (Louis Wu 16:31:12 UTC)
