I've been dabbling in digital animation, and decided to extend a helping hand to all the homebrew creators out there. After all, nothing livens up a game like some nice intro videos/animated cut scenes.
So, if anybody wants me to do some videos for them please post in this thread or send me a PM. Simple animations would be best (logos, plot line scrollers ETC...), but whatever you need just tell me. I'll do my best to get it done.
Here's a few samples for you guys to check out...
(for a FPS I'm making with FPS Creator)
RPG Lighting Demo (just a test I did for dynamic light interaction)
RPG Maker 2003... IN 3D!!! (video I made that plays the first time you enter town)
Dimension Quest Campfire Scene (animation I did for after one of the characters died in my game)
Dimension INC. Logo (simple logo animation I did)
If you have any requests, just let me know. It doesn't have to be restricted to videos either... I could always make some nice background pictures and such  .
There's a few picture examples HERE.

Update: Rockstar Games has confirmed it has filed an official plea with the Video Appeals Committee seeking to overturn the BBFC ban of its Manhunt 2 game.
According to MCV, Rockstar filed the plea yesterday. The BBFC originally rejected the game on June 19th, giving Rockstar six weeks to file an appeal.
"Where possible we try to consider cuts or, in the case of games, modifications which remove the material which contravenes the Board’s published Guidelines. In the case of Manhunt 2 this has not been possible," said BBFC director David Cooke at the time of the ban.
The Video Appeals Committee will now hold a hearing where the BBFC and Rockstar will be able to present their sides of the dispute, and where the committee will view demonstrations of the game itself. The BBFC will not comment upon the matter until the case is heard.
A Rockstar spokesperson told GamesIndustry.biz: "Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. confirmed today that Rockstar Games has appealed the BBFC decision that prohibited the release of any version of Manhunt 2 in Britain."
There was no immediate word whether or not Rockstar had also appealed Manhunt 2's "AO" rating in the US, although such a move seems likely.

Responding to comments from PGR4's developer indicating that the team had problems fitting the data on a single DVD, Sony says that its Blu-ray investment is justified.
"We took a lot of heat at launch for including Blu-ray in PS3. Now it looks like that investment is being justified," said SCEA spokesman Dave Karraker, speaking to GamesIndustry.biz.
"Next generation games simply need more space on the disc to contain all that high definition content. Take a look at Lair, for example, already pushing 25GB of content, and that is a first-generation title. At 50GB storage capacity, Blu-ray gives the PS3 plenty of headroom for developers to fully realize their visions well into the future."
Bizarre Creations, the developer of PGR4, recently announced on its forums that players would not see different times of day in each racing location, not because it was a problem for the development team, but because it was a problem to fit the texture data on a single DVD.
In order to work around the issue, Bizarre provides different lighting models for each city.

MCV's prediction that Sony may be soon unveiling support for terrestrial digital broadcast service Freeview for the PLAYSTATION 3 is looking spot on following comments from Sony Computer Entertainment New Zealand boss Warwick Light. He told Kiwi outlet The Press that the company is "hoping next year... to release a digital tuner for the PS3, turning it into a programmable TV recorder." His timeframe? First quarter of 2008, alongside the New Zealand launch of Freeview.
Freeview is already available to fans of receiving television signals in the UK, broadcasting dozens of television and radio channels. It's possible that the PS3 TV tuner could simply be added via one of the console's four USB ports and that larger hard drive options may coincide with the product announcement.
But I'm just riffing here. I'm sure we'll know by Games Convention in August if this whole thing pans out.
The future according to Sony [The Press]

Sega of America has come out and admitted that the Virtua Fighter 5 release on the PS3 was rushed to market and needed more development time.
The VP of Sega of America Scott Steinberg stated that the PS3 version of Virtua Fighter 5 was rushed to market to get out within the launch window of the console.
That was the big reason as to why the Xbox 360 version has online play functioning while the PS3 version has no online play anywhere to be found.
Steinberg stated that Sega "wanted to go to market quickly with the PS3 SKU" in order to release it within the console’s launch window, so that console missed out on the online fun.

Via StrmnNrmn's blog.
A newly posted blog update from StrmnNrmn talks about the CPU speed of Daedalus, which he gets a lot of questions about.
On startup Daedalus increases the default clock frequency of the PSP's cpu from 222MHz to 333MHz for a 'free' 50% speedup. I use 'free' in quotes because this comes at the expense of drawing more power so the battery runs out of charge faster.
I've been asked if I'm going to support 333MHz many times, so I wanted to put this question to rest for once and for all. The answer is yes - I believe this has been the case since R1
-StrmnNrmn
Let's hope people stop nagging him about it, right?

Recently we have become swamped with Custom Firmwares from the likes of Team M33, Dark Alex, Becus25 and others. But which Custom Firmware is best and provides the easiest way to update and risk of bricking at a minimum.
Ill be interested to see what the general consensus is here at PSP News.

If you're the sort that turns their nose up at paying less that $600 for a PS3 and has an insatiable hunger for gigabytes and off-road racing, you may want to point your browser to EBgames.com, where 80GB PS3 pre-orders have gone on sale.
It may seem a bit of overkill to pre-order a system that's already available and hasn't exactly been flying off shelves, but those who want to pay $600 for their game system as a matter of pride or only like a limited number of the PS2 games they own may want to act fast. -- If some are to be believed, you may have less time to buy a $600 PS3 than you think.

Sony has confirmed to Eurogamer that problems with one of the downloadable PSone games released on PlayStation Network last Thursday have led to its withdrawal.
MediEvil has a confirmed crash-bug that causes it to fail on the third level. Sony said it would return to PSN once fixed and that anybody who had paid for it would be able to re-download it for free then.
Sony is also investigating reports of audio problems in Spyro 2, which remains available on the store, although there are anecdotal reports of broader issues with that one, so you might want to duck it for now too.
The two games were released for GBP 3.49 last Thursday along with Crash Bandicoot 2 at the same price, which seems to be working alright. Touch wood.
Sony wasn't able to offer an estimate on when MediEvil will return to the store, but said it would have something to say on that front in due course.
For more on what's going on, keep an eye on the official Sony forum thread relating to the problems.

Codemasters has denied reports that it's set to release PC and Xbox 360 title Overlord on PlayStation 3.
Reports sprang from a job posting on developer Triumph Studios' website, which seeks somebody capable of "Porting X360/PC code base to PS3".
However, the obvious conclusion is apparently the wrong one to jump to. "We are not porting Overlord to PS3," a spokesperson told Eurogamer this morning.
Of course, if that makes you angry you could always get a petition signed where a million people legally commit to buying it, at which point they'd probably change their minds.
So what's Triumph up to? Well, that's another question. But since they're not owned by Codemasters, it could be anything

Sony has distanced itself from reports that Heavenly Sword has been confirmed for release on 14th September.
Retailers and some press reports have pegged that date for the game, but a spokesperson for the company told us this morning that an announcement had yet to be made.
Not that that's to say it won't come out on that day. Indeed, SCEE currently believes the Ninja Theory title will be released that month. They just don't want anybody getting ahead of themselves.
Unless, of course, you're referring to "playing the demo", which came out on PlayStation Network last Thursday. It's whipped up a frenzy of discussion as to its merits, which we'll be contributing to this afternoon with our own demo impressions.
Is it all it's cracked up to be? Or not? Or is that question even relevant? You decide. Or rather, we decide, then you shout at us for venturing an opinion. Woo!

Eidos US CEO Bill Gardner has said he doesn't believe that PS3 is priced too high - but conceded that even a USD 100 price drop may not be enough to sell the machine to the mass market.
Speaking in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz Gardner said, "Sony is a big company. They know what they are doing.
"I don’t think [the price cut] is enough to reach the mass consumer, but I think it is enough to get it moving again, and it will move a little bit further, and they’ll need to do it again and it will move a bit further." According to Gardner, PlayStation 3 is good value considering it includes a Blu-ray player at a relatively competitive price point.
"Go buy an HD or a Blu-ray player. Go ahead. Tell me what it costs you. Then take a look at the PS3," he said.
"I don’t think [PS3 is too expensive. I do think we’ll start to see additional people pick it up and use it, maybe not necessarily exclusively as a game player but as a Blu-ray player and a game player, and there is an advantage to that."
