This is so funny, worth a watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mRpbWGfNyw

After some researching i found some usable information on the story behind the Telemark Operations. Here's the full story taken from http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Norwegian_heavy_water_sabotage "Operations Freshman and Grouse Destruction of the plant was mounted by the Combined Operations command in November 1942 . The plan consisted of two operations: the first would drop a number of Norwegian locals into the area as an advance force, and once in place a party of British engineers would be landed by glider to attack the plant itself. On 19 October 1942 , a four man team of Special Operations Executive (SOE) trained Norwegian commandos parachuted into Norway. From their drop point in the wilderness they had to ski a long distance to the plant, so considerable time was given to complete this part of the mission, known as Operation Grouse . This plan, unlike those which did not succeed before, included the team studying and memorising blueprints. Once the Norwegian ...

I think these videos are great. The classic ones (the ones made my apple) are not very honest and are just market spin. These I think are more true to life. Judge for yourself and you'll see what I mean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0gRgls2eYc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_vV5mZ8Ox8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BUOXVI7HeI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxQS_3A7_Fc

So I've decided to do a film trailer. Main reason for this is because of the lack of time I have to develop a decent enough game. So my film trailer is going to be machinima using Call Of Duty 2. The story is going to be the heroes of Telemark. For those that don't know Telemark is an area in Norway where the Nazi's during World War II produced heavy water. Heavy water of course can be used to create atomic weapons and this had to be stopped. Norwegian resistance fighters and British soldiers came together to sabotage the germans efforts at producing heavy water and succeeded. Although it was not an easy battle and took months to accomplish the eventual sinking of a ferry carrying the final amount of heavy water needed for the the Nazi's to make there first atomic weapon was sunk. YEH! Going to be lots of big panoramic scenes with explosions!

I posted this on my Uni's website and thought it was worth posting here as well. This howto concentrates on doing this with an xbox 360 using a composite connection. It can also be done with a S-Video connection but won't be covered. Composite: S-Video Step 1: You will need to have a video capture card or a graphics card with a built in VIVO (Video-In Video Out) system or a similar system. My graphics card (GeForce 4 4200) has a built in VIVO connection and came with a cable which allows the connection of a composite video connection (The yellow connector in the left picture above) or a S-Video connection (Pictured on the right). I've seen other graphics cards just come with a Composite Video-In connection, this will work just the same. Step 2: The VIVO system does not handle sound and neither will any graphics cards. The other two connectors on the composite connection (red and white connections above) are the left and right audio. You will need a cable which takes two co...

This is the first entry of my MultiMedia Design module i'm doing at Uni. It demonstrates a quick effort using Window Movie maker to produce a video. Nothing exciting... sorry http://www.youtube.com/v/DLu_ZnEAFpM
