      Hi, I've just added another image and 3 quicktime movies of drawings i've scanned.

      The image is a composite of the horse and rider leaping over the chasm ( i couldn't compile it as a movie easily sorry, maybe one day)

        Thanks very much indeed for going to so much time and trouble. It's been marvellous for me (and, I'm sure, everyone else here) to get such a fascinating insider's view.

            Very silly question, but which player do I use to view the movies then?

                Isn't it the same player as what you get with some chart single cd's that include a video of the song?

                Just realised that I cannot use an installer (even if it is the same one) from one of my chart cd's as they all went down my cellar, as I'm trying to clear things from our house

                  dunno, never bought any cd singles ... getting too old to buy cd singles me I am

                  if they are .mov files, then yes, they might play with that player, I will encode some other versions if people have trouble playing 'em ...

                    Just about captured it, but I am still waiting for my room internet access to be enabled. (I am posting from a 24 hour IT suite).

                        Couldn't agree more, thanks very much Bli for the time and effort taken to show us these animations, it is much appreciated

                          Right I've captured and uploaded a version. Unfortunately Windows Movie Maker decided to play sillies towards the end of the clip.

                          http://stneotsfc.net/Knightmare/KM_Title.wmv

                          I shall try and capture it in a better format at a later date.

                            thanks, thats great ...

                            Did you capture directly to wmv?

                            What iused to do was capture to some other format, one will little compression then convert to wmv later using the windows media converter, but not bad at all for a 2mb file, cheers ...

                            you can spot the drawings I've got a little easier now

                            if you have trouble converting the file to wmv from a larger file and have the means to upload the large file then i'll convert it for you if you want

                            Cheers

                            Billy

                              I do have a higher/better quality mpeg version of the file (it's taken me this long to work out why I wasn't able to capture sound properly). The file is 11.5Mb if anyone is interested.

                              looks at remaining bandwidth

                              Right I'll put the clip online for the next few days if anyone wants it, and then after 1/11 I'll take it offline and if you want it the PM me.

                              http://stneotsfc.net/Knightmare/km_titles.mpg

                              EDIT: Clip loads in RealPlayer - not sure about other media players.

                                I'll download and let you know how it plays on my pc

                                  🙂 :)Hey there! Brill website!

                                  3 years ago, Drassil wondered about that prisoner in the 1-3 series titles- Is it a troll? Hmm... A mystery. I've watched the titles loads of times here r my opinions of what it could be:

                                  A dwarf

                                  A dungeoneer that got trapped years ago

                                  An early drawing of Sylvester 'Ands

                                  Just Treguard peering through outside to scare the Knight

                                  Sum1 pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzz give me a reply of what you think it could be- i will be gr8ful 🙂

                                    Hello, Tom. You're talking about this thread, one of the first I ever started (three years ago, not two ). Perhaps getting in touch with 'bli' directly (via his website) could lead you to more information on the mystery creature, if there is any.

                                        OK, Bli, could you tell us WHAT that thing actually is? As i said it's been a mystery for 20 years. A Dungeoneer?

                                          Hehe ... you referring to the guy behind bars in the original titles? ... I'm not sure who he was, although i was told it was me by one of the guys ... 😮

                                          But I reckon it was LLoyd Sutton, one of the animators that worked there .. sorry LLoyd, wherever you are
