Wow!  This one took a long time to do.  I finally finished it tonight after
many hours of hard work over the past few weeks.  Not to mention all the
time I spent planning it out.  The image editing took a long time, as I had
to manipulate almost every shot I took.  Overall I am very pleased with the
way it turned out!

In the story, you will notice that I have introduced several new characters
and revamped some others.  Most noticeably the elementals.  I just didn't
think they looked evil enough and I think their new form reflects their
evilness better.  I have changed my Elementals page to Supreme Beings in
order to include the Wizards and their henchmen.

You will also notice in the story that there was a lot of rock wall in the
shots.  I accomplished the effect of a cave by using rock-wall sections that
connected with technic pins.

The large wall splits in half to form two long walls that can be used to
shoot corridor shots.  It can also be split vertically to form three
sections, and those sections can be broken down to form six separate wall
sections.  Some of the shots though, like the long corridor shot, had to be
manipulated on the computer to give it the effect of being a long hallway.

Well, I guess that's it!  Hope you enjoy the updates!

(...) Kevin, What type of plugins do you use? Could you post a list of them and what their function is? I would love to mess around with them. -- Pawel (24 years ago, 30-Jan-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) I spent a lot of time on that long hallway shot trying to get it just right, and I think it turned out okay. I did use Photoshop for all the effects and would be happy to have some of those plugins of yours. If you post a reply to Pawel's (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jan-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)
