[MMD] Miku Crashes the Superbowl
36So Miku apparently didn't like how the game was going, so she decided to take things into her own hands. Unfortunately it didn't end well as you're about to see.
The NFL won't admit it, but this is what caused the power outage. They'll tell you it was a problem caused by connections from outside the building, but don't believe them. :D
Animated using MikuMikuMoving. MikuMikuDance was used mainly for exporting Kinect motion capture data as MMM would sometimes crash with some of the scenes I had attempted to use it in. Even so I did have to do a lot of manual animation work beyond just the Kinect data. Living room scenes were added near the end of the project so I hadn't had the time to put as much animation work into them as I did with the main project of animating the locker room. I decided to add the living room scenes to provide something to project the SuperBowl footage onto. Since I would bet a pretty penny that YouTube will false flag my video had I used the Superbowl footage directly and full screen.
So I brought in the living room TV set stage and projected it onto that and buried it in a couple filters so it's definitely qualified as fair use at this point. :D
Glad I did, since it added some extra time to the video and added to the story/layout and overall I would have felt something was missing anyways. I had to set up something to explain how Kaito showed up near the end, so I provided the living room scene as context for the rest of the video. :D
The driving scene uses the full level conversion of Coastal Clash from Battlefield Heroes. I had planned it for something random for a future project, but after putting in the living room scene, it seems to make since to use it here to show how Miku actually got to the Superdome. Let's all just pretend she wasn't living in Japan at the time, since there's no way she would have driven there and even with a plane would not have gotten to the game in time. It's a comedy skit with a cartoonyish prank, so not everything will make logical sense. :D
I've also used various emote sound effects from the game as well. Locker Room, Lobby, and Living room interiors were pulled from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Sound effects are various things I pulled from the internet.
The Hatsune Miku model I found was made/ported by Mamama7028 from DeviantArt.
I originally wanted to animate Miku actually "climbing" on to the copy machine, but the Kinect just wouldn't cooperate and the limited space in the room I have it in prevents me from doing any of the really fancy stuff. :P
None the less, it came out mostly how I had envisioned it. I came up with the idea a couple days after the Superbowl game, but couldn't get it finished until now. For some reason it wouldn't get out of my head, so I had to work on getting it onto an animation after I discovered about using Kinect for motion data in MMD. :D
Post production was done using Sony Vegas Studio. Glad I didn't end up using Ulead Video Studio, it would have looked much more crappy in that. I originally got Sony Vegas for the "surveillance camera" filter effects I needed for some of the early camera shots. Ended up using it for the whole project. :D
