*double post - 12 hour rule*
Got another announcement to make: I've spent this morning and some of this afternoon
playing around with Minecraft mods in single player in between doing household chores and other boring crap.
I seriously doubt that 9 people will want to come on Minecraft at the same time so I'm going to opt for the following instead to film the boardroom scene, and will see if I can make it look good with some clever editing (this is just me pissing about with the mod):
If it looks that bad after editing then I'll go back to using actors again, I guess. However, they're NPCs so parts of them can be transparent, unlike players. Also this mod allows me to make them different sizes - Glukkons can be larger than the slig, and Abe. I just wish characters could stand facing diagonally to the North-East or South-East rather than only North, East, South and West.
EDIT: BTW I'll still need help re-shooting the scene of Abe dangling from his wrists in a cell, but that'll take a lot of setting up first on my part.
