Legend of the Harbinger - Episode 5

[Ironwave Studios 547]

Ladies and Gentlemen

 

 It is my pleasure to finally present to you

the long-awaited fifth chapter of

the Legend of the Harbinger saga:

 

Legend of the Harbinger - Episode 5

Bendrick and Andrus continue on their journey and are faced with even more challenges as the bandits increase their hold over the forests of Dahvenor.

 

Hope you guys like it! Sorry for the long wait. This episode has been a huge rollercoaster to make!

Over 200 GB of footage were rendered to get it to this point (most of them ended up being mistakes or didn't end up in the final cut) and with tons of computer crashes, script rewrites, all-nighters, and animating very intense, high-action scenes (larger scenes than I've ever done before), this episode just about killed me. I didn't think I could pull off a video of this scale and length, but hey I did it... it only took like 9 months to finish lmao.

Also, @David if you ever wondered what the limits of mine-imator are (as in the amount of movements, lighting, scenery all happening in a single frame) I think I found them in the last scene of this episode lmao. (idk maybe I'm just doing it wrong, but MI and my computer could barely handle that scene)

I LOVE THE CINEMATOGRAPHY OMG

No but seriously. I love the absolute perfectly choreographed screenplay and cinematography in this. Its so beautiful. I literally teared up in that last scene because it was just too good. As a fellow filmmaker i do say that your film side is peeking through and making its way into your animation which is NEVER a bad thing. I can only imagine what it will be like when the two of us are working on films eh?

Oh my....

I really wish that 11 minutes were longer.

WOOOOO!!!

[Chono 174]

IS
SO
GOOD

[leihrod 615]

Yes another episode

[Caeden117 1.8k]

Your alive! And I didn't get to peak through your window this time! I mean what...?

[-StickyMations- 2.6k]

Oh my god! This thing feels like a freaking movie!!!

My favorite scene is the horse chase scene, it's just beautiful... the animation, the lightining, EVERYTHING! 

I bet that one is going to be really hard to forget 

The only thing I would say here is to add some camera movements when fighting, to make it more dramatic or something, because I don't know,

It just doesn't feel right with the music... 

 

+1

Already waiting for Episode 6.

Hands down the best series ever

[Emaniplex 6.3k]

Exemplary.

[iFallOffStuff 52]

Wow! Really nice! Can't wait for ep 6  

[Phoro 33]

I dont have words to describe this, its so cool 

[Anatoli 769]

ur boi.

i wish i had the time and the motivation to do this, but mostly time.

Best animation created with MI I've ever seen.

Great work mate, these scenes had really good atmosphere in them!

This film is definitely a masterpiece! 

[MineRocker Animations 1.4k]

Wow! That was almost too amazing!

You have a great screenwriting talent. Those scenes were greatly executed without any flaws. I keep saying this but you've outdone yourself with this one too.

This is top quality!

This series is the living proof that all envisioned ideas of a single animator can be accomplished.

[flufffybuns 926]

I never see animations like this

 

this is awesome dont stop

 

[Ironwave Studios 547]

I just wanna thank you all for your kind words! All your guys' support for this series is what keeps me going! (it sounds cheesy, but its just so true) I was wondering how this would get received on the forums since I haven't really been that active on here for months, but its amazing to see everyone being appreciative and supportive of my work! I couldn't ask for better fans!

Thank you all! 

now hopefully episode 6 wont take as long  (P.S. it wont, because I'm not gonna let it. I've literally already started on it.)

[ÜberKiller 7.5k]

That tears it, I'm gonna start working on my animations again. My motivation was repeatedly killed until I saw this. Gives me hope for the future of Mine-imator since it shows people can still make great things in the program.  Hopefully the new people take notice and start taking notes of this as well.

[Mafa Animations 2.9k]

Impressive.

I am going to honest. These episodes haven't captivated me to keep watching them. Don't get me wrong, the quality is 10x higher than most animations on this forum. You obviously put a lot of work into this and I don't want to stop you. Just keep doing what you're doing. Maybe its the medieval(?) genre but when I'm watching it, I just get the urge to do something else.

Yeah, I understand. Everyone has their preferences. I know certain genres don't appeal to some people as much as others, and that's totally fine.

Thank you for being honest!
