Christmas look and thing of note.

Hi All!

Today Ihasnotomato was supposed to come over to my (Mabeanie's) house and record the first session of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. However just when I was encountering problems with getting the Dazzle to pick up video from the Wii he texts me saying that he cannot make it to the recording session because he has some things to attend to. Bummer. It sucked because not only was he unable to attend the recording session, the recording session wouldn't have been able to work out anyway with Skyward Sword being out for the count. So that's the bad news.

The good news is that while I was being unhappy I made it through the day having made this:
So I emailed Ihasnotomato the picture and suggested we could make some Christmas-style artwork on the channel. He loved it and so I went onward with the new task. So I did this and now it is a matter of waiting for the profile picture changes to come into effect. So now I've decided to make the Google Plus, YouTube and now Blog (after I've finished this post) have the new artwork.

The things


Hi all!

I thought I should make it official that the Console Gaming Series Season 2 has begun, the first video being Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 followed by Wario Ware, Inc: Mega Party Games!
Each game has three episodes and we will begin a proper series later on. It will be Skyward Sword, though we haven't recorded it :P

Anyway, here are the thumbnail pictures and video links ;)

Console Gaming Series: Series 2 Twilight Princess recording fail

Hey guys, I've had a sudden moment of extreme frustration,

One of myself and Liam's best recordings failed (Zelda: Twilight Princess) when I went to edit the recordings into episodes. While the video recording was fine, the audio had screwed up hugely. Instead of what we actually recorded there was static sound. I think it's something to do with my setup because it's happened before. I have the microphone (Samson Meteor Mic) plugged into a Doctor Who TARDIS USB hub, and that is plugged into the computer. I did some google searching and found this forum discussion (http://forum.ventrilo.com/showthread.php?t=30410) and the person has the same problem I do. So based on what they've said it's a sound card problem and replacing it fixed the issue. I have no clue as to what a sound card is, but I guess it's the thing that puts the sound into your computer. While the audio for Twilight Princess screwed up, the audio recordings for the other games we did were fine. So the problem is not constant, but happens occasionally.

So next time we record I will take precautions such as using devices not plugged into the computer to do the audio recordings. I'm very upset, but writing this post has calmed me down. Anyway, there will be videos from the new Console Gaming Series coming so buckle your belts up for a bumpy car fun time!

IT'S WORKING!!!

Hi All,
Mabeanie here to tell you all that I've got the Dazzle, Pinnacle, and everything set up for the new Console Gaming Series!


We're very excited because after Frank (Akirasora) left for the United States of America we've been struggling along after a sudden end to the old series. So I guess this can be called Console Gaming Series 2 where we are thinking about doing Zelda: Twilight Princess, some Sonic games and maybe some PlayStation 2 games that I have.

We look forward to it and the possibility is that by December we will have started uploading episodes of the new series.

Console Gaming on AIM Returns?

Hi All,


I was thinking of a way to bring this news to you in a unique way and what I decided to do was schedule this post to appear one year after the series was written about.


So my plan is to bring back the Console Gaming Series at my house and record with a borrowed Dazzle (the thing we use to record). We will also do I.M. Industries videos at another location that isn't any of our houses. If any of this changes I will schedule another post for shortly after this one.


The Console Gaming Series practically made AIM Industries what it is and although we had to adapt to the changes that came from ending the series, now is the time to modify the situation to work for us.


We will bring back Wind Waker and possibly Mario Party 4. I don't know about Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts because it's at Frank's old house and both Liam and I don't have a copy of the game.


Thanks,
Bye All!

A.I.M.'s First Holiday

Hi All,


We're going to have a break here at M Industries. Seeing as Ihasnotomato is on holiday and Akirasora is still settling down in the United States I now realise that this is a perfect opportunity to take a break from the group myself.


We will be gone until November. By then I hope Frank will have set things up fro recording from his end and Liam should be back in South Australia by that time as well. We will bring AIM back bigger (possibly) and better (definitely) for the start of November 2014.


Meanwhile you can check out our channels for more content from us as individuals (there are guest commentaries so look out for them).

Mysterious Scheduled Post

Hi All,


As it says in the title I have scheduled a post to appear on the 28th of September 2014. I won't tell you why it appears on that specific date, but I've posted this so you know when it was scheduled.

Hey guys, Frank here...

Soo.. its been a while since I've put in any input here >_> all i really have to say is, once i can organize my living space better then can produce videos easily and contribute content to AIM as well. We have some ideas in the works and more ideas waiting to pop out randomly so the roller coaster ride has no end, and no you cant get off..

Frank might post today

Hi All!


So today I asked Frank (Akirasora) to do a post on the blog, because like Liam and I he is an author on it. However I doubt he will post because he forgets to do things I ask him to do. It happens every time. I'm hoping to cause some kind of reaction in Frank's brain where through doing this post he will actually do it. Man I'm weird.


Bye All!

September 15, 2014

Updated Schedule

MON - Frank (no series)
TUES - Liam (Half-Life 2: Synergy)
WED - Mabeanie (no series)
THURS - A.M. Industries
FRI - The Sims 3


Schedule page: http://aimfilms.blogspot.com.au/p/schedule.html

No more videos this month

Hi All,


I feel that AIM Industries is becoming more like M Industries where I'm doing a heap of the work. When Liam went away he had said that he would upload one episode onto YouTube and then others privately so that we could upload them for him. This never happened. Frank and I still haven't recorded any more A.M. Industries videos.


 I'm thinking that it's better if we just have a break and then when Liam comes back really kick it into gear, uploading as much as we can with: Versus, The Sims 3, I.M. Industries, Project Chocolate and Synergy. That's my idea. I can only see the chances of one more A.M. Industries video.


Let me know how you feel about this and later I'll confirm the decision.

Post-Commentary Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Series

Hi all!

Today I recorded the first session of the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood series. The way it's going to work is I will play the game while recording (no voice), send it to Frank and Liam, then the three of us will record our voices while watching the recording at the same time. It will be a post-commentary LP. Liam and I thought of it during Avcon 2014 (Anime/Video-game convention).
Here's the picture we'll use for the thumbnail.

Idea for a skit that may very well work

Hi all!

My idea for a skit is that Liam and I are recording an IM Industries video and while we're recording the video somebody is murdered. The murderer and the victim are not known by either of us and it comes down to the two of us to work out how the guy was murdered without us hearing.

Bye All!

No A.M. Industries this week

Hi All,


We didn't manage to record any more episodes of A.M. for this week so we have to do something else.
So here are our options for what we can upload on Thursday:
  • A.I.M. Ideas - Audio from a vlog I did on the 20th of April 2014.
  • What is A.I.M.? - A documentary idea where the three of us answer a bunch of questions about A.I.M. and put them together as a documentary. This is not a Q&A with the audience.
  • Behind the Scenes of I.M. Industries Trailer or A.M. Industries Trailer
Let us know what you want. I'll work on these things and then on the day make a decision.

The Script for A.M. Industries Trailer


Mabeanie goes over Liam’s house so they can record some IM industries videos. Mabeanie's ready to record but Liam gets a phone message:
Liam: Oh no! I’ve gotta do the thing!
Mabeanie: what thing?

Liam: I need to water my alpacas for a month? Who writes this shit?

Mabeanie: Goodbye, I’ll miss you. (while pushing Liam out the door)
Mabeanie goes back to Liam’s room.

Mabeanie:  oh no what are we going to do for AIM vidos. That is not how you spell videos! Goddammit Liam!

Frank: Hello I am America Frank. No, I am Frank America. Ah shit!
Mabeanie: I am Mab eenie. Uh…

Frank: That’s not what it says-
Mabeanie: Liam’s gone to eat the fence for a month! No. Liam’s gonna share the flowers. Whatever, Liam’s not here so no videos for a month.

Frank: We could do AM Industries. Like with you and me without Liam.
Mabeanie: That’s an amazing idea Frak. Glad I thought of it.

Liam walks back into the room and knocks camera over. Mabeanie is typing on a keyboard that isn’t plugged in, hammering his hands all over the keyboard.
Liam: This is actually my house, so you can’t be here.

Mabeanie disappears from room instantly.

Games for A.M. Industries so far...


Hi all!

Here's what we have so far:



  • Lonesome Samurai
  • Paladin’s Quest
What I think we'll do is play Paladin's Quest and see what people think. Then if it gets enough support then we'll do the other one. With these things it's always hard to tell because the one you do afterwards might be better than the first based on the content of the video.
The way A.M. Industries is going to work is Frank and I (Mabeanie) will both record our views of the game while playing and in the editing it will switch between the two depending on how interesting their view is. If it gets really boring I will cut bits out.
Also Frank gave me a copy of Terraria so if you want to see me play my first go at the game then let us know and we'll do Terraria as well.
Bye All!

AIM Elections?

Hi all,


It's Mabeanie here and I've been thinking that at the end of the year we should do some elections. These elections will decide who runs the blog, the Top 10 and Video of the Month series, and the YouTube schedule. I feel that I've just taken all of these responsibilities for the group without actually asking the other guys. However they don't seem to be too fussed as long as somebody is keeping track of the group.


So what I want to do is see who the most popular AIM member is and then they will become the manager of AIM. If you think this is a good idea then let me know and I will tell Liam and Frank. Otherwise this will be just another part of AIM's history.


Bye all!

We Need a Plan B

Hi All,
I've been playing around with the picture I last put up on the blog of a schedule which may or may not happen. We've tried, but I can't upload Game Dev Tycoon Part 2 until Frank's given me his view. I can't start doing my behind the scenes of Project T.O.M. because Liam hasn't given me access to his finished episode. So we have some IM Industries recordings which will probably be the only thing going up. I fully intend to upload the Top 10 of July as soon as the month ends which is Friday of next week.
  • Monday - Frank (Project Chocolate)
  • Tuesday - Liam (Project T.O.M./IM Industries)
  • Wednesday - Mabeanie (IM Industries/Project T.O.M./Game Dev Tycoon)
  • Thursday - Sims 3
  • Friday - Nothing.
This schedule will start working next week on the 27/7/2014.
Bye All!

Upcoming Projects and Who's Editing Them

Hi All,
Let's just dive into this!

Upcoming Project - Who's Editing Them
Project Chocolate Editor - Frank (Akirasora)
Game Dev Tycoon Editor - Mabeanie

Liam has already done his Making Of for Project T.O.M. so that's his work done. The Top 10 of June will be up in the second week, sorry. The Game Dev Tycoon second session will be up the Wednesday after that and Frank should have Project Chocolate edited by then and so that will be up on Monday, Thursday or Friday depending on how soon he finishes the editing. Then there will be my second making of for Project T.O.M. Here's a picture:

 
The first yellow is the last part of my first making of.
So it looks like we're gonna have to do a lot of recording for AIM. Mainly because the tennis just doesn't cut out the whole month. We need at least 10 videos to have a good month.
I'll let this sink in and brew.
 
Bye All!

A.I.M. is older than we originally thought.

Hi all,


Just been looking at the emails received by the AIM email account. The oldest received email is from the 15th of August 2011. Wow. I thought we started at most in 2012, but it seems that I was wrong. This is Mabeanie by the way. Just in case you thought I was *clears throat*... ANYWAY! The group started shortly before the 15th of August 2011. That's it. It was on a Friday.

Frank's Decision.

Hi all,
Mabeanie here to talk more about what Frank (Akirasora) wants to do concerning the possibility of him living in America. Do we get rid of the Let's Plays? Do we continue A.I.M. Industries? Who did I forget to mention in the post?

May 21, 2014

More On The Options.

Hi all,
So I've done a bit more thinking and have come up with some more in-depth options.


  • Continue with Frank (Akirasora) and with more Versus videos.
  1. No more Mario Party 4 or Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts videos as they will require his save files and presence.
  2. Audiences will be more mainly from America and Australia as Frank will be operating from America and Liam and I from Australia.
  3. Probably no multiplayer videos, although I say 'probably' because it depends on the internet connection and the chances of us all finding a server we can play on with decent performance.
  4. More Versus videos because they do not require us to know what is happening to each other. This is because when we play Mario Party we comment on how one another is doing, where if we do Versus we would talk about the game and how we as individuals are doing.
  5. No skits (with Frank in them). We had plans to do some skits and I had come up with a few ideas as well.
  • Continue without Frank.
  1. Establish a new channel called 'AIM Industries US' as it will be operated from the US by Frank and a selected team of 3. Doing this will also include changing the name of the current A.I.M.IndustrialFilms channel to 'AIM Industries Australia'. My favourite part about this is that we could have many AIM Industries channels operated from all over the world.
  2. Keep the channel as it is and find a replacement for Frank. The problem with this is when we record at the moment we've known each other for a few years and it would mean that Liam and I would not know the replacement. This is unless one of our friends replaces Frank.
  • Stop AIM Industries. This means no more new videos or blog posts as the operations of AIM Industries will no longer come into play or continue. We will not delete the channel nor any of the videos to protect the history and fact that this was something that happened and people will know what happened from 2012 - 2014.


This is a very sad situation and I personally hope that AIM Industries continues and that we either expand or become ever more popular.
Bye All!

Unexpected Outcomes.

Hi all,

Mabeanie here to inform you about some unexpected outcomes as a result of Akirasora's visit to America.

Recently Ihasnotomato and myself have been told that it is possible that Frank (Akirasora) may be staying at America to live there. This affects how we make videos for AIM Industries. From the beginning of the Console Gaming Series we have gathered at one location to record everything (Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, tLoZ: Wind Waker, and Mario Party 4). If we cannot gather together it would mean we are not seeing the same things at the same time. We don't all have the same internet speed and Australia is not well known for fast upload and download speeds.


The options we have are that we could make more Versus videos such as Game Dev Tycoon (part 1 is on the channel), we could continue the Console Gaming Series using emulators and ROMs, or that we could replace Frank and look for someone else to be part of AIM Industries. Further articles will be made about this for anyone who is interested.


Thank you very much for reading and hopefully things will improve. I do not wish for Frank to be worse off if the choice of staying in Australia will affect his wellbeing. The internet can be used to keep friendships via many social platforms as well as emailing and Skype.
Bye All!

Project: Song

Hi all,
Mabeanie here to talk about this new idea I've had. So I've written the lyrics for a song I want to play to Frank when he comes back to Australia from America. I'm gonna see if I can organise with Liam a time to get the song made, 'cos obviously it will be us playing and singing the song. From what I've lyricized it's pretty catchy, which means it's almost definitely similar to another song by a famous person. Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky :P

Why there was less videos in April

Hi all,

in today's post-- what am I saying, this isn't regularly updated! Ok I was about to start typing some of the most useless stuff I've ever typed, but now I'm gonna stop.

There hasn't been many videos since April because we ran out of videos to upload. We might record a video tonight but it's very, very, if-y as Liam hasn't responded to my messages despite me talking to him earlier today. There won't be any single player games until we can find a good day for us to get together at one location and record without making it so one of us has 30 seconds to get homework done. Or something like that.

Anyway if you aren't aware that we haven't been uploading much check out this video:
Thanks and bye!
~Mabeanie

Time Out.

Not time out for AIM, time out for me (Mabeanie). I have been getting less time lately to edit videos, so the next one, which was meant to go up last night, should go up this night. Thursday night. Here's what I said on the channel's recent activity page:
  • Tonight's video is going to be a top 10 and best video of march.
  • and then: Nope, sorry. I was robbed of time today and simply can't get the video up. In fact, the only thing I actually accomplished today is that I filmed the day. And made my bed. And did some washing. Yeah...
So for me I will try and make the videos as short as possible, but keeping the best bits in, like the styles of KSic and Swooshie Games.
I hope this will broaden the audience a little with people who are interested in shorter videos coming and subscribing to the channel.
Thanks and bye.

March 12, 2014

Problems Ahoy!

Hi all!

So recently Akirasora has moved to America for a quick holiday. This holiday isn't actually that quick. He's gonna be away for about two months. What does that mean for AIM Industries?

I was speaking to Liam about it and he says we should look at things we can do for IM Industries, you know, the random thing he came up with when Frank wasn't there anymore. Anyway. So that's our solution, however Frank has left me with nothing to publish for my Wednesday video. There are two upcoming Mabeanie Segment videos that need just one thing to make them work.
  • Colin McCrae Rally 2005 needs our voices, which Frank has.
  • The Game Dev. Tycoon Versus needs Frank's view, and we did have it except for the fact that I can't tell how far he is in the game to compare it with Liam's and mine.
So anyway. Today there isn't going to be a video. What I'm going to do is record myself reading this blog post, which is interesting because I can type anything I want for me to say in the video.

ANYWAY! Problem: Frank is in America with no computer/internet-access and he has our Rally voices and his view which he said he'll fix.
Solution: IM Industries.

Guys, pack yourselves in tight for some single-player content with myself and Liam, and maybe some other people, because you're in for a treat.

Thanks and bye!


PS: We're also working on a skit/short film/thingy about this whole thing, so don't worry about missing it. *Laughs maniacally*

The Blog's A Mess, Blogger's A Mess

Hi everyone,

I'd just like to point out the fact that Google is treating Blogger like it's social media. It is, but not the social Media you think it is. To me a blog is where you can write enormous paragraphs and potentially create articles about your chosen topic.
 
Advertisement right 'ere :P
What has this got to do with AIM Industrial Films?
Everything on the blog side of things.
 
If you haven't noticed, it's stupidly difficult to make a blog post without it being really long and having giant, unneeded gaps in between paragraphs. I've been blogging a long time and I don't know when it happened but Google has decided they aren't interested in Blogger. This is probably because there are bigger blog sites around like tumblr...
 
Yeah I know.
And I just clicked preview to find it's all fixed. Poopy.
Actually that's very good. Now I just have to finish this post and see if it's all fixed. Just hold on I've gotta switch accounts so I can talk about the videos.
 
...
Blogger is now my best friend.
So I'm not sure how this is going to look, having switched accounts, but I am now going to move onto AIM Video stuff.
 
So recently I have jumped ships from ones that I own to one that has three captains. I'm talking about YouTube channels if you haven't gotten the metaphor yet. AIM Industries has three captains.
 
So, having jumped ships, I am now making great (In my humble opinion) videos to upload onto AIM. You may or may not have seen the Mabeanie Segment Buzz video I did. It's a perfect example of what's to come. I also started a series that may or may not happen called BeanieVlogs. I only made the first video because I failed to meet up with the schedule. Now, I have two more videos already recorded BUT EACH ONE HAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT!!!
 
So here are the videos that I haven't posted on due to the blog looking like a pile of junk.
In order of release:
 






Switched computer to do the video bit.
So Blogger is fixed but it still has the gaps in between paragraphs thing going on. What it has fixed though is the fact that you couldn't fix it by yourself. It was Blogger and Google.
Anyway I have to add pictures now to spice up this blog post and I'll see you 'round.
Bye all!

A Video Update.

Hi all,

Mabeanie here to let you know that yes, we've had a big rocky start at AIM this year. I myself have only missed one day of uploading this year.


Just after Christmas however was not the best time for any of us. Liam, Frank and myself were all busy with our families but we'll be back on that schedule we've been intending to work by soon enough. In fact I just messaged Frank to ask him why he hasn't been uploading to AIM recently.


My video will be up tomorrow and Liam has been doing his best not only to upload to AIM on time, but to upload to his Ihasnochille channel by its schedule too.




I'm going to be finishing up on my personal channels (I have 3!) so I can work on fun stuff for AIM. I'm thinking we can do lots of behind the scenes vlogs and little sketches too.


Meanwhile, if you haven't seen much AIM recently then I'd recommend Liam's Wind Waker series. Particularly the pineapples episode.































Thanks for sticking by us!
