On my YouTube, I am called TrivialSim.
http://www.youtube.com/user/trivialsim? is where you can find my channel.
As much as I would love to just show off, I genuinely believe some of my Sims 2 ideas are quite unique.

For example, I turned Sims 2 into a '1st Person Shooter' here:
:here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK7bWxSI9FI

I'm making a real and proper zombie movie, and have an audition video here:
:here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF24uuyN-mM

(Or my older zombie stories - which I admit are a bit unprofessional - are here in reversed order of release:

:here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHO8Hs8kVCE
and :here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS2MPK31l80 )

And - unlike most Sim/Emo movies - I am making a slightly more professional emo-series. The trailer can be found here:
:here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VEnb9borUo

Additionally I have further videos concerning rape, abuse and burdens which has a serious story, I have a video to go with the Piano Tribute of Famous Last Words (By MCR) and a whole 2 previous series' load of videos which I made when my PC was in bad shape (Hence the block like movement).
I also have 2 very unique, touching, professional festive videos that I created around Christmas-time.
I have an amazing video to go with Imaginary by Evanescence which can be found here:

I have an accurate Sims 2 Remake of the opening from Resident Evil 2 (The 1998 version of the game, not Darkside Chronicles) which is here:

A video about The Plumbbob Theory (Something I made up and thought sounded cool) can be found here:
:here: Part 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyAc-xfz0OA
:here: Part 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzzd16zrkqM

And a nice little feel-good video about a mechanic (Also an original video) is here:
:here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJyT-79aV3Q

I have plenty more to come, came and are coming (I currently am unable to upload).
If you would, please do watch any or all of them. If you have a YouTube account, send me a friend request, I'll accept them all.
And finally, have a nice day :)

Mweh, either y'all aren't interested in movies, or I'm not interesting.
Well rest assured, I will blow your minds with ZOMBIFICATION! A full feature-length Sims 2 FILM! Mwah ha!

In your original post, you said (and I will quote you, so nothing can be inferred from my remarks):

"Or my older zombie stories - which I admit are a bit unprofessional. . . ."

The cool thing about generating any kind of product, whether it be machinima, live action movies, or novels, is that we automatically create a record of our progress. My four videos in order of production are: "19 Something" (never meant for the public eye, just a fun project I did in my spare time with my real game Sims), "Hello," "London," and "Hurricane." I can watch those movies now and see a steady progression of improvement. I can also see indelible evidence of my struggle with camera, screen resolution, video editing software, and overall quality.

Likewise, I definitely notice progress with your machinima. The more we produce, the better we'll get. I'm looking forward to your Zombification movie. You've compiled a wealth of information and skill while you've been involved with machinima, and it'll be great to see it converge.

Aw thanks! I have used A LOT if not all of my skill and effort on this movie, it is going to be BIG. I mean, mind-blowing, and some things are so subtle, like adding a 10% greyscale, 10% brightness increase and 20& contrast increase to make it look better. It makes the video take an extra 3 hours to render, but to me it's worth it :)
Also I enjoy little effects like when the camera pans past a street-light in the street, I add a lense flare so it looks like the light really is there on the camera! There is also more, like each set, you may not notice because you genrally don't ook at the sets in this manner, but each one took about a week to make. And the characters all look so realistic, you don't notice! If you get what I mean :/

Thanks for your encouraging words, and I also agree with you that your learning, however you don't have any crap videos, all your videos are from High-Quality to Higher-Quality :)
