My first attempt at making a WA movie, rendering took me a long time to get right :o
My sincere thanks to all who helped me along the way (put those in the credits) with additional mention to Khamski, who put lots of time in helping me with rendering :)

Love it or hate it! Or have no particular sort of feeling towards this. Whatever applies :)

MonkeyIsland

Due to massive misunderstandings: MonkeyIsland refers to an island not a monkey. I would be a monkey, if my name was IslandMonkey meaning a monkey who is or lives on an island. MonkeyIsland is an island which is related to monkeys. Also there's been a legend around saying MonkeyIsland is a game. So please, think of me as an island or a game.

That was f@#!ing nuts! I literally had emotions, I wanted the worm to succeed so badly! :)

cool!

i'm studying it in the college, it's called "action figures". Your movie certainlly will inspirate others players to create more of them :)

i cant say the movie was spectacular...

but +1 on the map, i remember trying it, and i was instantly stumped..

most likely one of the hardest maps ever made, and the theme of the map is amazing.

About the spectacular part: the fortress thing is indeed kinda long, longer than any sequence in any other worms movie. But its a brilliant replay nonetheless. Perhaps a bit more speeding up on the 'boring' parts (worm just walking) woulda kept the pace. I wouldnt slow more moves down though. The bungee part felt a tiny bit tooo slow for me :)

I guess the survey of the map could also be improved (somehow), maybe a quick preview of the entire map in a single shot (by opening the .png in windows and screenshot that :)) and after that maybe a close up of the entire path the worm will travel. Or a small sequence of the vital/tricky parts of the map.

That + adding 2 or 3 more normal worms replays. The trojan thing kinda dominated the whole movie, but the 2 (or 3?) small 'moves' before that kinda made it weird. It wasn't a best-of-D1 movie, there was too much trojan for that, and at the same time not a single game replay cause of those tiny clips.
I think the trojan thing would come more to its right as a single, seperate movie, but definitely with those 'director cuts' at the end to spice it up a little... to make it more than just a replay file ;) With the map survey part a little more enhanced you would have a neat introduction as well.

I rest my case though, very interesting movie as it is  :)

Are you planning on working more with 'special effects'/video editing? Or is that more than what you had in mind?  ???
edit: just read simply rendering the whole thing took you a shitload of time hehe, so I guess any advanced stuff is out of the question for now.  ;D
