ALGAE Hunger Game (Award Ceremony - ROUND 1)

Sea Hare gets Honorable mentions for Speed and Sniffing around. Giving him time to get his bearings. I have my bets on him from what I've read.

Who is forcing. Why would you make a comment like that. Don't watch if not interested.
Or are you just joking around?

I am just trying to share an educational experiment.

The video's are a bonus to the thread if anyone is interested in seeing overnight activities in Time Lapse.

Also I'm putting in a bit of effort to make this entertaining.
Anything wrong with this?

Great Idea to Embed the Video Code. I'll try to figure it out. If not I'll reach out for help.

Thanks for the encouragement and support for this experiment. Glad some of you are enjoying this.

AGALE Hunger Games: (SPOILER)

You know I hate spoilers. Wouldn't want anyone to tell me the Outcome of the New Star Wars movie since I haven't seen it. Planning to go next week.

However in this case, folks are waiting for results. And they have been good.

So this Spoiler isn't really a Spoiler, to show the outcome of last day.

Yes the beast did fall !! But how?

Spectacular, look below at the Game Chamber Tank right now (5 minutes ago shot).

What is not spoiled is how this all happened. You will be surprised. Not quite what you think or imagine.

The editing staff, technical crew, and cast members are reviewing and editing the Web Cam results.

Make sure you have some popcorn and favourite movies snack handy. It will be worth the wait. Rating is G, so viewing for whole family.

Hoping to release the Episode in next 12-24 hours.

Stay tuned....

I like the time laps, good job!!

Wally.B · 12/22/2015, 05:20 PM

Recruiting Help for the Story Line. (ALGAE Hunger Wars: Episode I - Algae Wars )

Folks,

What started as a simple enhancement to the next Timelapse has become a major production. My son has been helping teaching me video/graphics skills.

So the film shooting is completed, and the Story Line pretty well set.

It's taken many hours, and still continues with the final editing.

Now in the Story mode, we are racking our brains for some extra entertainment content.

WE NEED HELP FROM EVERYONE.

- Post your idea's for names for the Clean up crew.
- Anything funny to do with Algae, Algae clean up, Algae water conditions, etc
- Any puns to do with Reef Aquarium.

Everyone's input will be considered, however we can't promise everyone's idea will be used, since this task has become monumental.

Thanks.

Looking forward to release this Motion Picture.

Wally.B · 12/22/2015, 06:47 PM

One more comment on Name Suggestion Search....for (ALGAE WARS - Episode I)

Without revealing much about the plot.... Which has a Star Wars theme.

Need names that are aquarium related puns/twists for the following characters.

- Yoda
- Hans Solo
- Luke Skywalker
- Darth Maul
- Storm Trooper
- Jaba the Hutt
- A Jedi Knight
- Bobafet (Bounty Hunter)
- A Driod

neededahobby · 12/22/2015, 07:06 PM

the sea hare better be jaba the hutt!
"princess turbo" given the buns?
something "chew" like chewteca

hmmm looking forward to the video even more now

neededahobby · 12/22/2015, 07:29 PM

oh don't forget Admiral Ackbar– the most aquarium friendly character
(Maybe admiral ninja star?)

Wally.B · 12/22/2015, 07:44 PM

Keep idea's coming....

Really appreciate folks chipping in. This is helping a lot so that we can focus on the edits. Expanding the plot/storyline with what is coming in.

YOU WON'T BE DISAPOINTED!!

Will be worth the wait.

Promise!

CStrickland · 12/22/2015, 07:46 PM

+1 jabba the hare
can the rocks be like "Moon of Endor" and "Tatouine"?
"in a green and hairy place we find ourselves, a little more herbivores light our way"
"phos-ban old buddy dont fail me now!"

Wally.B · 12/23/2015, 03:51 PM

Algae Wars - Episode I (UPDATE)

Quick update.

The editing continues. This is becoming a full length feature movie.
I am eating, sleeping, dreaming the plot, storyline, and effects.
Also am researching original Star wars characters, planets, places.
May take a bit more time. Hoping to release for Christmas Day or sooner.

At this point would appreciate some more buzz words/concepts. Anything to do with Tank Maintenance, filtration mechanical, natural.

Coral terminology. Microbiology technical terms. Anything to trigger ideas.

ie (Skimmer, GFO reactor, bioload, etc, etc)

Anything to add to the storyline.

Wally.B · 12/24/2015, 10:34 PM

Algae Wars - Eposide I (UPDATE)

Just want to inform everyone that I continue the efforts on the Movie Production.

It keeps getting better and better, since each skit is leading to more ideas.

To keep things on schedule I may release a Part 1, since the complete production will take longer.

Stay tuned.

Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday with your family and friends.

Wally.B · 12/26/2015, 06:21 PM

ALGAE Hunger Games (EXPERIMENT) Update: Phase 2 (Other Food)

Quick updated.

I continue to monitor activity in the Algae Tank.
I have added a new freshly loaded Rock. Everyone is working on it. However hunger has dropped, since I think they are getting full.
There has been concern that Conch may not be getting enough food without a large sandbed. (Watch Conch. He seems to be wandering away from Sandbed).

Moving on to extra experiments.

As per photo below, nature is kicking in. The tank is starting algae on glass, and also on white egg crate. Look brown to me.

I also added some Purple Sea weed to see if any citters are interested and will eat.

BTW. Work on the movie continues. These creature are amazing in TimeLapse. They are natural stars, and seem to do thing just right to enhance the plot.
