Very old videos

***Xavier*** · #1 06-11-2008, 02:52 AM

Thanks to Oddsville who found back his old CD that came as a bonus with his GameWizards walktrough to Abe's Oddysee, and has send some of the movies of it to me. We can now give you some very old interviews with Sherry McKenna and Lorne Lanning videos filmed inside the old OWI studio.

According to Oddsville more will follow, and I'll put a special page up on TOC to download them all from there when I have some time.

Ooo! I have this same CD! I remember Max coming to me a while ago and asking for these videos. Sorry I didn't get back to you on that one...

Jordan · #3 06-11-2008, 07:10 AM

GOD! Look at how young Sherry looks there... Thanks for the vids Xav.

OddYouko · #4 06-11-2008, 08:50 AM

Wow! Awesome!
I'm downloading them now!

***Xavier*** · #5 06-11-2008, 09:22 AM

It's on TOC now

not that it's actually changing anything

Psychonaut · #6 06-11-2008, 09:31 AM

Wow, thats pretty old..

Does anyone remember on a presentation of Munch Oddysee in 2001(or 2000?) by Lorne where he was voice acting Munch since the game doesn't have sound at that time?? I can't find it on Youtube...

Oddsville · #7 06-11-2008, 09:42 AM

I've just uploaded more to Xav, I should only have three more left to get uploaded. In some of them you can see some artwork that I don't think we've seen before. But its quick so you have to pay attention...

***Xavier*** · #8 06-11-2008, 11:08 AM

here they are:

A Slig with mechanical Scrab legs? I so want to see that in a game!

Jordan · #9 06-11-2008, 11:55 AM

Just finished watching them all. There's a lot of interesting stuff in those videos, like that first model thing we see. That's Maggie, right? I wonder if she was planned for AO... Thanks again Oddsville and Xav.

Strangers-Moon · #10 06-11-2008, 12:37 PM

All I have is the sound, theres no video D:

Windows Media Player doesn't play AVI files unless you have a codec, and I've no idea how to get one. Install Quicktime, and it'll play perfectly.

***Xavier*** · #12 06-11-2008, 01:51 PM

Normally my avi files work nice with WMP but I had to use quicktime to view them.

Matriar · #13 06-11-2008, 05:18 PM

Thanks to Oddsville and Xavier for bringing these videos!

I'm downloading them right now...

OddYouko · #14 06-11-2008, 05:54 PM

Thanks a lot Oddsville and Xavier!!

I'm downloading them as well.

***Nate*** · #15 06-11-2008, 06:47 PM

My guess is that you should probably download the DivX codec.

Yay for Sherry appearing in an interview! I don't think I've seen her speaking before. There's some cool stuff in there.

Admittedly, the voiceover guy mispronounces the 'Luis' in San Luis Obispo (the 'S' isn't silent). On the other hand, the pics of Morro Bay at the beginning gave me warm fuzzies of the time I went kayaking there on my birthday.

Oddsville · #16 06-11-2008, 11:57 PM

More to come tomorrow, I must get to bed now. Just lost in poker and its nearly 3am

Amakir · #17 06-12-2008, 07:35 AM

Cool. Now i must drag my Playstation home to my Aunt and play this game with her again.

Matriar · #18 06-12-2008, 07:43 AM

That's also the first time I saw McKenna talking in an interview, yeah. I really like her from what she said and how she said it. No wonder, she was a big help for Lanning.

Again, thanks for those videos!

It's kinda weird to see Lanning with this hairstyle and without that beard, though.

Spoiled little brat.

Thanks again Oddsville!

Matriar · #20 06-13-2008, 09:23 AM

Awesome! Thank you!

I'll download them as soon as I get home. These school computers here block almost anything about the internet.
Which is a lame try to get me back to school work, really.

OddYouko · #21 06-13-2008, 10:27 AM

Awesome! =O
I'm downloading them right away! Great stuff Oddsville and Xavier!

Jordan · #22 06-13-2008, 11:08 AM

Done.

Thanks once again guys. Sherry and Lorne are really nice people, I think they're underrated. I'd love to work for them some time, the studios sound awesome.

totor · #23 06-18-2008, 01:01 PM

It's amazing!! Thank's so much, Xavier and Oddsville!!!!!!

One question, in the video number 8, in the 41' second, is it Steven Olds??

Kyle · #24 06-30-2008, 01:19 AM

Thanks for the videos! I know Oddsville was working on uploading them on youtube, but I have just uploaded them all to save him some work and for anyone who has trouble downloading them to be able to view them. Took about 2 hours, but it all worked out in the end. I'm not sure how to make the playlist show up on my youtube profile, but here's the link to the playlist.

The main youtube page is www.youtube.com/oddworldvideos.

***Xavier*** · #25 06-30-2008, 07:29 AM

Well I could do an official "The Oddworld Cinema" youtube page, but I'm not really sure people will find it useful...

what do you guys think?

Jordan · #26 06-30-2008, 08:26 AM

I think it's a great idea. It's helpful for those who haven't got time to download them, and they can watch them whenever they like.

That would definitely be useful, but some videos on there (particularly the Oddworld "movie") might not upload since it's a bit long. But I'm sure others would work. If you want to continue this idea you could have this account to save you some work unless you want to have the name "oddworldcinema" or something.

And it's much easier than opening files and watching them one by one. Playlists are much organized as they continue along in a sequence.

***Wil*** · #28 06-30-2008, 02:51 PM

I was going to start investigating a way for the Oddworld Cinema to stream movies as well as provide them for download. I’d personally be much happier with that than giving them all to YouTube or any other off-site server.

OddYouko · #29 07-01-2008, 03:46 PM

What about the "Movies of Oddworld DVD" can that be put on YouTube?

***Wil*** · #30 07-01-2008, 04:06 PM

Ask first if it can be put on the Oddworld Cinema. Xav and I have considered this between ourselves before, but I forget what our conclusions were. It’s definitely something we would love to do.
