(Poster's a tad "blergh!", but didn't have time to spend ages on it!)


A month in the making, with the support of some very kind and talented actors and modders (and, well, just dashed darn all-round nice folk!), Odyssey:Finale is "finally" here (no apologies for the bad pun, I'm afraid ;))!

Part One is now encoding on TMU as I type this (hopefully it will encode correctly and not go "ka-plooey"); had some sound issues and software conflict problems along the way, so some of the sound levels are a bit iffy, unfortunately, so please bear with it.

Parts One and Two are around 25 mins in length (it's no lightweight, people!), just so you are aware in advance.

Part Two and Three will follow shortly (hopefully Part Two will be done and uploaded tonight; Three sometime over the next week).

UPDATE: Had to remove it temporarily as the bloody thing coded in with the wrong running length AND no sound... grrrr. Will amend when it's back up...

[BiggsTrek]

I'm waiting.... (still not ready yet.)

Should be worth it, though!

:)

[Killian]

Ok, second try (http://www.tmunderground.com/watch/026dd1f3674774f06c51/ODYSSEY: FINALE PART ONE); just completed upload for a second time so might need a good while to encode in properly.

[BiggsTrek]

Seems wrong... 5:51 long and silent? Is this some sort of evil scam? ;) Or is there an encoding problem?

[Killian]

Yeah; Kwis just checked as well and me too; bloody thing didn't encode right... stats box says right length on my video page, but it's encoded to 5 mins long and taken the bleedin sound out :S

Gonna have to upload via Veoh and link it, I think... grrrr.....

Had to take it down, as is neither use nor ornament in it's current state; exactly the same issue as last time I upped it. Could be due to the length, I suppose (ooo err missus)....

[kwistufa]

Could be due to the length, I suppose (ooo err missus)....

LOL...!!

Whack it onto VEOH then Mr K.
Can't wait to watch it & those lush looking
dressings at the start definitely made me clutch at
my panties... errm.. undies.

[Dulci]

I'm confident it's worth the wait.

[Killian]

IT'S HERE AT LAST! (http://www.tmunderground.com/watch/b41f57891c48e07c23f5/ODYSSEY:-FINALE-PART-ONE)


...hopefully it is... :)

[Killian]

Unfortunately, my plan to release 2 "mega-sodes" hit a huge snag, so have reverted to my original "installment plan".

Part One is up as a 24 min "double episode" via Veoh link.

Part Two is now being upped as a 15min episode, to be followed late tonight/early tommorrow by Part Three, with Part Four to follow ASAP (and possibly Part Five, dependant on the running times).

UPDATE: Part Two has now been upped as well (you lucky people :001_tt2:); let's hope this one works... if you're EXTRA nice, I might even upload Part Three before I go to bed....

[Dulci]

Such great work!!!

[Chris62]

Part1 and 2 of the finale were excellent i'm glad i was a part of it.

[goofparade]

Watched parts 1 and 2 with delight.
RE: uploading part3 tonight..You must go to bed extremely late.

[Killian]

...sleep is for tortoises... and (thunk....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzz)

Glad you liked it; Part Three will now be coming tommorrow (well, later today), showcasing the acting talents of GP, Kwis (again!), Joseph, Sparky and thebiz...

So much time, so little.... errr... time for bed, said Zebedee, I think :)

[sisch]

Yay! Just watched the second part - was too tired to wait for that this night (and I don't wanna imagine how tired you were after the uploading tour de force!).

Great, great work, Killian! All the little details, sets, costumes, fx.... just great! Can't wait for the next part! :)

[Uber]

The pleasure is all mine to be involved in such an outstanding
well written, & excellently executed Sci Fi Series.
It's just awesome to see it all come to fruition.

[goofparade]

It's a clever and elaborate series that I'm also glad to have worked on. No doubt there will be more adventure to come.

Good job Killian and the whole cast, modders, scriptwriters etc.
Fun stuff.

[BiggsTrek]

Who's that sexy Russian guy, I wonder? (Just a pity he sounds like an Aussie pretending to be a Jewish Mexican, and not very Russian at all! lol)

[Uber]

just downloaded the pirate copy off the net; very nice work.

[Killian]

Goddamn pirates! :chris:

And Biggsy... yes, the character does have an unusual accent, but then it's a truly multinational era (where Jewish Mexican Russians are just as accepted as anyone else... even Guatemalan Ocelot Fondlers...)

:)

[Killian]

It's here...

2 months and innumerable hours later, the Finale is complete.

There are a couple of graphical and sound glitches that happened as part of the export process, and a lip sync issue towards the end, and one particular sequence that's not too great from my perspective, but whatcha gonna do? ;)

Enjoy! Time for a bleedin' rest!!

[Norrie]

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? (etc. ad infinitum)

If you could release this at half past three that would be great. Between televised football matches... perfect.

[Edit] The sly bugger posted while I was typing.

[Killian]

I did try to hold off on it, but as I will likely be dead or stuffing my fat face I decided against it. It's out and awaiting the viewing pleasure (or otherwise) of discerning goat-fanciers and otherwise everywhere!

Don't worry, my ginger-nut scoffing compadre; it'll be there when the whistle blows (provided they don't go into extra or injury time, of course :P)

[Chris62]

Great job with the final all 5 parts amazing job Killian can't wait for next season.

[Killian]

Thanks all and I tip my hat to all the people invovled; go enjoy (or not) the talents of some of the finest Voice actors in the community, in some little romp that will only cost you 1 1/2 hours of your life, in 5 parts... no money back guarantee!

:)

[Uber]

rated as I saw fit.

[Killian]

Cheers for the honest review, matey :thumbup:

[TINMAN]

Odyssey is blazing a trail! Killian is on fire! ===K4===

[Mefune Akira]

Next on my list!

[Killian]

Hope you enjoy it, matey :thumbup:

All five Finale installments are now showing on TMU; catch them and (hopefully) enjoy spending 1 hour 30 mins of your time liking what you see!

[Dulci]

Hope you enjoy it, matey :thumbup:

I think you can take hopefully out of that sentence :wink:

[Uber]

Is it ready for one complete download yet?

[Killian]

Bleedin 'ell, you dug this one out from a while back, mate :)

It's available as a single 1hr 35 min viewing here (http://blip.tv/file/2347546); not upped it as a single download yet, but if there's interest I will do (the whole Pilot Finale clocks in at around 557mb, so it's a hefty filesize...)

[Chris62]

Break out the popcorn.

[Killian]

If anyone is interested in the "full monty", it's now available here (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AEUHI2E3) for download. As mentioned above, is is a hefty file, so be warned!
