Hi, Peter.
That's a great picture.
Hmm... Halloween... I'll have to put my thinking hat on and see what I can come up with.
(Pssst... it's time to update your signature.)

Another Pinhead project !!!
Of course, count me in.
Whats the deadline, Halloween? The day before?
Now all I have to do is come up with an idea.
Aghhhhh!
Hmmm, Pinhead gets lost, Pinhead gets lost, hmmmm, nope nothing yet.
Pinhead gets lost, Pinhead gets lost, Pinhead gets lost ... damn, still nothing ... aggggh!

@Dennis. Thanks. I know, tried to update it many times, however the Forum's changed & been impossible to use logically for many months, here, with IE11.
@Jeff. On the day, UK time?. Think we need a common Project Title. So; "Pinhead gets lost at Halloween" ? or just any Pinhead Halloween Clip? Minimum 2 MInutes. Maximum 5 Minutes?
@All. Pinhead's a simple guy, so simple clips that are quick & easy to do, especially for iClone newbies, who are welcome. Pinhead Character Versions can be downloaded from. http://www.pinheadadventure.com/page7.html.
The following have previously joined-in;
Me, Mark, Job, Jeff, Robert, Gerard, Arie, Laura, Sharon, Dennis & Roger. Any more?
No prizes, just Fun Clips.

How about calling it "Pinhead's Halloween Misadventure"?
I think I can come up with a special mug design for the winner(s).

Community Project scrapped.
Reason why, PMed to Jeff
I'll still be doing my usual Pinhead Halloween Clip, though.

Peter - I am somewhat baffled by the cancellation of this Halloween project. Since it is not an "official" Pinhead Committee project, nor are any prizes being offered, why should it have to be cancelled and whose decision was it? These fun projects are just for people to have fun and to participate if they wish to. Unless the committee is planning to announce a "real" project very soon and this would coincide/interfere with it, I cannot see why this has to be cancelled. Is Gerskey's announced Christmas project going to be cancelled too? Very perplexing.

Hi Laura
Nothing sinister. It's just that I thought they'd be more joining-in, if there was just the one & not two, Christmas being the better option.
I don't have time these days to contact Pinhead Project fans, other than post in the Forum.
Great to see your post:), I thought you'd gone off the map, since no response to my Jackie Lawson e-cards or from Roger.
Alley & I haven't been in touch, since the last Committee organised Project.& no response to e-cards from her, either..
Since you're here, that would be you & Jeff with 2D & me with 3D, Halloween clips. So, back on track, then, for anyone-else who'd like to join-in.
Pete:)

I would love to make a commitment to joining, but I have so much going on right now that I can only offer "good intentions" but I'm not real optimistic about the odds.
At the very least, I will heartily cheer for anyone who puts a clip together.
I'll try, and I do have a lame idea (which makes it perfect for Pinhead).

I'm glad to hear that Halloween is back on! I am working on something and hope to be done in time.
Peter - sorry about not opening/responding to your e-cards - they must be going to an old email address that I rarely check anymore. :blush:
At this point, it seems like the Pinhead committee, official projects, and the Pinhead website are pretty much history. I don't blame them - it was a lot of work (and some expense) with nothing really in it for any of them (since they no longer participated in the projects themselves). I am very grateful to them for all that they did over the years, and if they do decide to do another project some day (as indicated a LONG time ago), that would be great. In the meantime, we can keep going on our own with these unofficial fun clips. I don't need a contest or prizes to motivate me; I just like doing them and seeing what others come up with. I push myself to learn something new and utilize new techniques in every animation I do, so this is always a growing process for me. Who knows, maybe I'll even cross over to "the dark side" and try 3D some day!
Thanks,
Laura

As usual, Pinhead has attracted a lot views. We'd better not disappoint the viewers, then.:ermm:

Peter: :)
I'm just like you when it comes to scene preparation. :rolleyes: Basically I have an overall idea of where the story is going, but the only parts I ever
put to paper are pieces of dialog. I usually write these just before, or while, I'm doing the animation in which they are to be spoken. I think
that's because I came to animation late in life and and I feel it already takes me too long to produce a story. Adding in the time to draw a storyboard
and think out all of the dialog etc. would just add to it. My excellent voice actors have had to adjust to the lack of a script as I superimpose the dialog over the completed scene,
put it up on youtube and send them the address so they can watch it. I don't have to spend time setting the scene for them as they have it right in front of them.
[I love my actors so much :kiss:]
I sort of 'live' the adventure with my characters as it develops. It's worked for me pretty well so far so, unless I develop an animation team, I'll have to stick with it.

All art and animation is done; now I'm working on the music and sound FX. I'm hoping to finish by the end of this week, but we'll see. I'm using new (for me) NLE sofware (DaVinci Resolve) and spending a lot of time learning how to use it. The interface is quite different from previous programs I have used (especially Pinnacle Studio and Serif MoviePlus), so there has been a bit of a learning curve, but I'm having fun with it and I'm excited about the potential it offers. Even though I'm using the free version, it is definitely more "professional" than anything I've used before, and therefore more complex.
Since others are posting stills, here's one of mine (yep, still doing 2D!!):

@Peter - That steam engine is lovely. I am really looking forward to seeing what Pinhead does with it.
@everyone - I did start working on a project of my own, but I don't think I'll get anywhere near completing it. We had some visitors (from *way* out of town) come to our place for the first time, so that meant major top-to-bottom cleaning, and completing projects that had been put off for a long time. Excuses, excuses, I know. I can only console myself by knowing I was able to provide some inspiration to others, and will have to live vicariously though their hard work. If a miracle occurs, maybe I can get a half-baked project out, but even that isn't looking likely.

OK, here is my contribution to the fun, based on a story idea by Dennis (or a Peter commented: "One for the price of two!").
Although Dennis characterized his story as "lame", I think the video turned out quite nicely. I really like the new lighting features in iClone 7, which are very helpful to create a spooky atmosphere. Animation is just clips and old-fashioned key-framing; no Mocap yet.

|
By justaviking - 8 Years Ago

@Animagic - Love it! You took my little concept and created a whole video from it. Great job.
I really liked Pinhead's expression; you did a good job of making him look scared. Well done. And the whole environment was wonderfully done, too. I know you always love to put artwork on the walls, and the calendar was a great touch.
It was fun to see Pinhead use his weapon-of-choice again.
Note to others... You'll want to be sure you have your volume up. Job is a good voice talent.

@Dennis, thank you for the kind words. The mansion, including the paintings on the wall, is from the MarketPlace (https://city.reallusion.com/ContentPreview.aspx?i=JICe6107679530708a60). I added a staircase (there was none) and furnished the bedroom and the kitchen. And converted stuff to PBR, obviously.

@Magneto,
There were several good and interesting things about your video. >>>> Spoiler alert >>>> I immediately recognized the "mostly come out at night" phrase, and the ending went well with that. I also thought the attack was quite effective.
EDIT ---
I removed most of this post.
I'm leaving this note here, mostly so some of the following posts have a context.
My intent was to describe Pinhead's "traditional and typical" personality, as a character (not just an avatar), to Magneto and others who might not be very familiar with Pinhead.
Unfortunately, I overdid it, and caused anguish. My fault.
It may be too late, but my apologies to Magneto.

Magneto: :)
This is not a criticism of your video. In fact I liked it and thought you did a good job with it. This is merely an explanation of Pinheads place in the Reallusion community.
Pinhead IS a revered character among the Reallusion community and a lot of us 'cut our teeth' with the production of a Pinhead video.
Mine was the second video I created and it taught me a lot about how to use paths as well as a number of other things. You can see it here if you are interested.
I liked your video and I don't have a problem with the way you presented Pinhead, we all are free to interpret him any way we like, but Viking does have a point.
Pinhead is not just an avatar any more than John Wayne was just an actor. He has personality traits that are a part of his acting "schtick" just as
John Wayne had his distinctive walk and distinctive catch phrases. I'm not comparing the two as actors but merely as personalities. Pinhead certainly meets the criteria
of having a personality all his own. His basic personality was laid down by the original creators, Alley and the rest of the Pinhead gang, and it's been the job of the
animators to have Pinhead react to odd situations in ways that Pinheads' personality would dictate he act.
That being said, I think Pinhead can afford to expand his dramatic portfolio, but he should always remain Pinhead. Cursing is not something he has traditionally
been involved with, :blush: It would embarrass him too much. :blush: Think more in the line of a Don Knotts character although not quite as nervous. He's mild-mannered,
good hearted and easily confused, but he will rise to the occasion if the situation demands it.

Not correct. Beginners and new Pinhead fans are welcome.

Magneto (10/24/2017)
the video is gone, so discussion over.
Well, THAT was not my intent, though I guess I should have seen it coming. My over-explaining-myself obviously sounded like over-complaining.
I AM SORRY.
I cleared out my earlier posts.
Will you please re-post your video?

Thanks for the detective work on the last Link, Job.
I've been without PC for 3 days, so am very behind with my clip.
@All. Putting Magneto's clip in context. with past Pinhead clips
Briefly; l) Gabe, iClone master Animator & Tutor, produced a Pinhead Award-winning clip that was a bit violent towards Pinhead. 2) Another similar clip was shortlisted for an acclaimed International EXPO Award.
TBH, I & others found both clips upsetting.at the time, via Private Messages & e-mails..
@Magneto.
I only briefly watched your clip without sound, due to PC probs. Thanks a lot for taking the time to download Pinhead's Character & produce a darned-good Halloween scary clip that's very much appreciated. You put a lot of work into your clip. Pinhead & I are feeling gutted you've deleted it.
Cheers
Peter.

Wow! There sure has been a lot going on here lately!
First of all, great clip Animagic! My first thought, as it started, was how amazing these animations can be using iClone - the atmosphere and backgrounds and props are all so great, that they really make these little videos come alive. And the ability to show emotion and facial expressions and body language have really improved - especially when in the hands of someone who can do it well, like you!! Cute story!
And thanks, also, for the links to the former Pinhead pages. I didn't know they were still available anywhere. Too bad we can't also access those clips. Or is there a way??
Now, on to the "controversy." I was able to see Magneto's clip before he took it down. I was not offended at all by the language, but I do understand Dennis' comments about that not being consistent with the personality that we have come to attribute to Pinhead. That said, over the years, there have been other clips that were of a darker nature than the more light-hearted, comical version that I have chosen to stick with. I can think of a few that were quite dark in fact, and the character of Pinhead was nothing like the character we started out with all those years ago. But to be fair, at this point can anyone without this history of years of participation in these projects know who the original Pinhead was? Especially since, to my knowledge, none of those clips are still online anyplace (they had been hosted on the Pinhead committee's old website), and those that are now hosted on YouTube or Vimeo, etc. are not cataloged in any kind of list to make them easy to find. So how can we expect anyone new to the Pinhead universe to understand what has come before? And even if we were able to go back and watch them all again, where is it stated that we are required to maintain the character's same personality? [I may even be the last one still using the same computer voice for Pinhead because I like the almost monotone delivery to contrast with the craziness going on around him.] If we want it to remain PG and light and humorous, then I think it should be stated as such from the very beginning of a new project, otherwise everyone has the right to create Pinhead however they wish (and with the appropriate disclaimers upfront as necessary, as Magneto did), and I as the viewer have the right to watch or not (or like it or not). Just my unsolicited 2 cents' worth.
OK, on to other things. My clip is finally ready. I, too, hope that the little joke at the end is clear (and yes, Animagic, I picked up on the expiration date right away). I hope you all enjoy it!

@Ahroo,
Great video, as always. That was a funny twist, and you have such a wonderfully distinctive style.
I wonder if I ate the same thing a couple of days ago. :ermm:

Very well done, Laura.:):):)
And a nice CTA Pinhead Character.

Thank you very much, Dennis and Arie. I appreciate your kind comments.
I should have included my software in the credits. This was not done in Crazy Talk Animator - I used Moho (previously known as Anime Studio) to draw and animate everything. And a new program for me, DaVinci Resolve, to do the editing.
I love all sorts of mushrooms, but will NEVER eat anything that didn't come from a grocery store - I'm not that adventurous!!! :w00t:

animagic (10/23/2017)
OK, here is my contribution to the fun, based on a story idea by Dennis (or a Peter commented: "One for the price of two!").
Although Dennis characterized his story as "lame", I think the video turned out quite nicely. I really like the new lighting features in iClone 7, which are very helpful to create a spooky atmosphere. Animation is just clips and old-fashioned key-framing; no Mocap yet.
Great " One for the price of two" Clip, Job. I've had my money's-worth & don't feel hard done-by ;).
Really nicely-done Halloween spooky atmosphere & Pinhead facial animation.:)

LOL. Another Laura classic Pinhead clip:D. Reminded me of "Death by Cupcake":D. Drawing your own Characters & applying facial expressions, syncing those to Pinheads Textaloud text to voice voice file in 2D, is no mean feat. Excellently-done, Laura. You got Pinhead's character down to a T:D

@Magneto,
I saw your post, and was SO glad you came back.
I assumed you were re-posting your original video (and I'd have still been happy to have you back, really), but was surprised with a brand new one.
Oh my, that ending cracked me up. The glasses and the hair at the end, that was so funny.
Thanks again for posting.

Great work everyone, it was fun watching all the clips and seeing all the trouble Pinhead gets into.
This was a fun Pinhead community project (as they usually are) and I hope there will be many more.
Even though there was no judging or prizes I thought it would be great to offer a little something to those that participated.
For anyone who submitted a Halloween Pinhead clip and would like a commemorative mug (see below) please PM me your address details and I will send you one.
I will need a response by no later than Tuesday so that I can put in the order for the mugs.
(Note: Image is on both sides)

I'm sure we are all disappointed, but not upset with you. It would have been great to see a video from you, but things happen. That's life. I certainly can't complain, since all I did was toss out a couple of ideas, and did not even attempt to do the arduous task of creating a video.
You are always welcome to finish it late. It would be a treat to see it any time. Meanwhile, I'm hoping to make an actual entry for the "Pinhead Christmas Song" activity.
