Jim-Dale

Video Demonstration: [redacted]

Yes, that's right! Jim Dale has no money! Amazing! Fantastic! Incredible!

Jim Dale is a poor sack of old sacks with no energy to his name. How can you help? Jim Dale only has swagger, Sony Vegas, and a lot of hard-drive space. This is obviously the best combination for CUSTOM VIDEOS WITH YOU AS THE STAR!

Have a movie idea?
Want to record your inflated ego?
Incredibly wealthy with money to spare?
Want to make Machinima.com look even worse?

Sounds like it's time to get your own Jim Dale video!

FAQ:

Whuzit?

Jim Dale will make a custom video of whatever the hell you want. (Adding Jim Dale charm to your videos is your choice.)

Whozit?

You! Jim Dale! All your friends! Monsters! Bosses! Snipes! Strangers! Small vulnerable children!

Howzit?:

Jim Dale will record whatever you want, edit it to your liking into a custom video, then give you a draft(low quality) version of your video. Once you approve of it, the final version will be published on Jim's Channel or sent to you in file form! Credited of course!

Moneh?:

Yes, this will be expensive. This is to both lower demand and guarantee full effort is put into your video. Prices will vary based on video quality, duration, and other matters. A price will be decided before production begins.

If you want to apply or have any questions, contact,Jim Dale on steam, send him in-game mail, or post here if you like your ideas being stolen.

Set Prices: All these are added to a price established between You and Jim.

Quality:

240p: Free! (But why would you want this?)
360p: 75CE
480p: 350CE
720p: 750CE
1080p: 1500CE

Time:

50CE per minute

Jim Dale backup:

Jim Dale won't delete the file upon upload, saving it if it gets removed somehow. This takes up Jim's hard drive space!
200CE

Jim Dale gives back:

If you let Jim Dale host the video on his youtube account, he will refund you 1 CE for every 20 views your video gets! (Only during the first month.)

Jim Dale Charm: This means Jim Dale will add some of his own humor to your videos. This basically means I will be the main director.
Free

Jim Dale approval: If Jim Dale sees something special in your idea, a special discount will be issued? (Varies: 10%-50%)

Example: Title: Boswick's Bush Safari Time: 2:30 (125 CE) Quality: 720p (750CE) Save File: No (0 CE) Jim Gives back: Yes Jim Dale Charm: No Views: 2000 (Refund 100 CE) Jim Dale approval: 10% off Base Cost: 500 CE

Grand Total: 1287.5 CE

Some tips:
-Try and obey the SK ToS. I won't make any video that contains bashing of a certain group of radically biased opinions. Guild promotion videos are welcome though.
-If your wallet is thin, try splitting the cost among guild-mates or friends.
-When recording, it's advised to make a lot of short takes instead of a long one. This will make your video get finished much faster.
-Always buy shoes in the afternoon after your feet have expanded.
-Remember your audience is the group you're trying to impress.

Jim-Dale, can you create a documentary about the life of Jim-Dale for me? Be sure to include snipes. In bushes. Much appreciated.

Interesting...i could be interested

Do you think you could maybe ballpark some figures. Just throw out some estimates based on not enough information without much basis? It would be appreciated. Also, would i have to pay extra for jim dale charm?

Unless you're making a feature presentation, that shouldn't be a problem. All prices are based on effort and time needed.

That's... really cheap. At first I thought you were saying you were working at essentially 10$ an hour of effort put in by you. It got me thinking it'd be easier to get some other college kids to do it cheaper. This is actually a good deal.

Rommil

brb

me and pawn are storyboarding out When Pawn met Rommil (not a love story.) (or perhaps a love story but a plutonic two sprial knights meet in a pod after a crash and realize they are ephemeral knighty beings mysteriously housed inside of cute-steampunky styled stylings). the title may need some work. Either way, i have the first 175 minutes planned out pretty well, but we are getting hung up at the halfway point. Going to take some real brainstorming to plot out the last 200 minutes.

stay tuned.
get excited.

i'm bringing out my easel again

care to twade advertising space, James? Also, I'd recommend doing a good job for prawn and rommel. They're loyal customers.

I decided to color you a quick portrait in case I want a movie. I hope it will knock a hunnerd CE off or somefin like that. I took the artistic liberty of assuming that you're sad because you're a hoboman of sorts. If this does not appease you I could make you one of those happy hoboman types.

Even though Weedle

adds nothing to the conversation, I'm thinking about ideas. I suppose more info on the film techniques would be nice. Is it restricted to in game footage? Can you just film some lizards fighting pink blocks and call it a video? With some dramatic musics? Lizards discussing their favorite alcoholic beverages and economics (in game or not)? Maybe they're wearing suits? Can you put beards and ties on lizards, make them drink Mirror Pond, and film them for a while? Also these lizards have to be clever and have a penchant for puns and/or homophones.

It should be live action with real lizards. We can make them wear hats.

I will look at both ideas, send me mail in-game with a synopsis.

I'd also probably split a movie into several acts. I'm not sure if my main YT account can go over the 15 min limit but I'm sure my other one can.
