Skyrim Symphony: 5min of nothing but sounds from the game

[DaikenTana]

Hiya Folks,

I just finished my 5min remix of sounds and voices from Skyrim.

Hope you guys like it! I'm also working on a video using around 15 hacks and mods, which you can see pictures of below!

The video has been a huge project so far and it's on the shelf until I muster the team I need. Each shot took me between 5 - 10 minutes to set up before capturing and color grading in After Effects. Using a dozen hacks and mods, I've turned my Skyrim game into a film making tool, giving me creative control over the camera, weather, lighting, character creation, poses and placement, dialogue, animations, time speed and more. I also installed shaders to simulate depth of field, light reflectance and lens aberration. Eventually the game put my two graphics cards to the grind, barely getting more than 30 frames per second, just 5 away from the minimum I needed. Unfortunately, after spending 2 months shooting, and having just a quarter of the footage I need, I decided to put this project on the shelf. It's just way too much work for me alone. It slowly went from being a labor of love to just plain old labor. Maybe one day I'll have the team I need to finish this video. For now folks, enjoy the track on SoundCloud!

Pogo has a Facepunch account?

I'm humbled. I also love the song, I love everything you make though.

[Links]

Oh wow, Pogo's here?

I love your work, I got some of your songs as my alarms to get my day started.

Really liking the sound of this one, too - great work!

Great work

[Dead Madman]

Holy fuck Pogo's on facepunch?! Anyways, fucking amazing as always man, keep it up (as if you have trouble keeping it up ffs what am I on about)

Also, Nick, I've wanted to ask you something for sooo long; [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l99AyQBKH0k&t=369]What the fuck is the song at 6:09 of this video?[/url] (I added a time mark in the url), and where can I buy/download it?

[DaikenTana]

Thanks guys. I was on Facepunch way back in 2005 when Half-Life 2 was the shit.

[Ganerumo]

Half Life 2 is still the shit, what are you talking about.

[Jojje]

I remember you made those HDR images with the Combine Elite sitting on your bed.
That was mind-blowing way back when.

[Kai-ryuu]

goddamn i remember when the Alice remix came out and I had that song on like 24/7. That reminds me, did you ever get that Visa thing figured out?

[Jake]

Wow, this is incredible. I've never seen anything like this, either. Nice work, man.

This music is disturbing whilst looking at your avatar

yours.. not so much

[Sharo]

Holy shit that's amazing.
Pogo is here? Holy shit that's amazing.

You have no idea how much many of your tracks have meant to me. [I]"Alice"[/I] was practically my theme tune for all of 2010 not to mention it's my ringtone. Just, god damn. Bless you dude and also show me your secrets, I really want to do the same kind of thing.

[camper182 V2]

I am a big fan, didn't know he was on Facepunch.

First song i heard was Splurgenshitter, way back.

[Breakfast Buddy]

Woah Pogo has also been on FP since 2005

crazy

Never would have guessed

Great work as always

That's a beautiful skyrim setup. Mind posting the links to what you're using if you get time?

And great song as always, joy to listen too.

[Implosive]

Is it possible for you to upload this to youtube or something. I'm having trouble getting onto soundcloud for some reason.

[DaikenTana]

Thanks a bunch folks. =]

Someone has uploaded the track to YouTube here: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsoUUF6ni9o[/url]

I use Audition for sampling, FLStudio for sequencing and few UAD plugins for mixing.

[ewitwins]

I always forget that you're a part (if not temporary) of our little community.

Always nice to see you posting content, considering the quality of your works.

Glad to see you back.

At first i was literally just expecting a 5 minute track on ambience because Soule had already done that on the soundtrack, but in 40 minute form.

Regardless it's always fantastic to see more from you mate.

Oh man, I remember seeing those HDR photos a long time ago in my favorite gaming magazine. Can't believe this was created on facepunch.

Oh shit, i remember this

[Stracksschnur]

I really want to see some footage of the video. Can you make a trailer or something else small
to get impressions?

[Aphtonites]

Strangely enough, I was thinking about Pogo as soon as I came into this thread since Skyrim Symphony sounded a little bit like Skynet Sympthony :v:
I can't wait to see the video!

[AtomiCal]

Hey pogo I saw you were extracting sounds from wind waker.

Here's a full rip.

The first 20 seconds sounds like the Turks Theme from FF7
