New set!

So, I decided that I wanted to rebuild the Millionaire's suite so here it is!

Private Promenade

Cal's Room

Rose's Room

Sitting room

The fireplace isn't perfect but I really liked it!

The entire suite (plus a random steward in the hallway)

So.........

I'm still not dead! Just took another hiatus! Good news is, my Sims game crashed but I got everything up and running again and all my files ARE SAFE!!! Hooray! I went gung ho today making a ton of new stuff! First, I recolored some items to incorporate Rose's real artwork into the sitting room:

Then, I recolored a Sims 2 Antiquties mesh for the dining room chairs:

I redid some of Rose's outfits:

(Original Mesh)

The mesh for this dress had a little train, which is inaccurate to the real dress, and the beading and medallions at the bottom were all higglety pigglety so I cleaned them up as well. I also added black gloves. Rose wears black gloves while she is sitting at dinner but is not wearing them when she attempts to jump, so I've made both versions.

(Original Mesh)

I found the color of this mesh to be too bright and yellow. The movie version is more yellowish green, so I faded the color and I moved the bow up a little higher, which is more accurate to the dress.

And lastly, I made Rose's photographs from over the years:

(This picture I made for fun, in the middle is a teenage Lizzy and is supposed to be taken around the late 70s)


I'm still using Bacon's Santa Monica horseback picture, as well as the college graduation one I made earlier, check my older posts. To see some of the real pictures used in the movie, go here:

Click Misc Movie above the Image Gallery header, then click "four" under the second grouping of pictures.

Enjoy!

Questions on Titanic Part 1:

Q: wtf how does she do??????i am so impressed at 5:03 and 8:04
by YoureCalle
That transition from Old Rose to Color Titanic is AMAZING. I'm in awe how you did it!
by PinkPjs26
A: At 5:03, I used a zoom tool on Magix Movie Edit Pro 11 (before I had Sony Vegas) and the TVs behind old Rose were images (she was in from of a greenscreen and the background was inserted in editing) Then the TVs themselves were covered with greenscreen so I can insert wreck videos (including the bow of the ship and Cal's room) Then I zoomed in, and tried to have the same angle on the 1912 ship model (created by Bacon164 at www.modthesims2.com) and blended them together! As for 8:04, no special effects there, it was done in Virtual Sailor (and so was the sub at 1:37 and 2:12)

Q: That's amazing! Where did you get all the Titanic furniture? [like, did you make them or download them...?]
by angel2mosha
A: I'm not very good at making furniture, but I did recolor a lot of it or have had people recolor it for me (Thanks tingtong, p$ychosimmer, bacon164, and wickedsims from the Sims 2 Community) Most of them were downloaded from these sites:
http://www.modthesims2.com
http://simsantiquites.com/Sims2/sims2index.htm
http://www.tarox4sims2.de/
http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org/booty/ (under tsr, then cashcraft)

Q: wow! that was pretty amazing! and the sets were extraordinary! i wonder how your computer survived through all of them lol I mean.. they're huge!
by Jerey4Videos
A: Good question. I have a 2002 Gateway PC and as my boyfriend says (he's a computer nerd and fixes PCs)that the series I have was the last good series made by Gateway. it's built like a tank, not that it hasn't had it's wear and tear. I have absolutely no space left on my PC (and it's been reformatted over 4 times and had 2 gigs of ram installed) but I will not be able to finish the movie on my PC. But don't fret. I will back up all things Titanic onto an extermal hard drive and my boyfriend is building me a PC SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED for gaming, and that's all that will be on it, The Sims 2 and my video editing programs. So everything else will remain on my ancient PC, because right now, I have to unistall programs and delete tons of files just create the video files for my Titanic series.

Keep the questions coming!

Part One is HERE (finally!)

I know it took me forever, but the video was waaaaaaay too big for Youtube (over 2 million KB!!!) But I finally found a video compression program that actually left the video in a pretty high quality. I'm very proud of it and I'm glad you all stuck with me for this long! Thanks everyone!


Part 2 will be out soon, and part 3 is about 35% done. After that though, I have just random scenes done. But I will not give up!

Jack Dawson's Sketches

Although it looks like I'm not working on the movie, I am....and it's awesome. So I thought I'd show I'm still working on it by posting Jack's sketches (I've made them PG-Rated because I decided from the start to have NO nudity in my movie). Here they are, enjoy!

Howler Campaign

I know I said I would have downloads with my next post....but I am too fuming with the pushback of the Harry Potter movie release from November to July....that's why I am fully endorsing the Howler Campaign (click link title for details)...if there is anyone outh there as angry as me, write to the WB a "howler" and boycott all WB films, including Harry Potter.
