The music was a bit cheesy, but the video-work was excellent! Great work Chaz

Did you apply some effects to the colours and contrast? The graphics looked a lot more vivid than the in-game stuff which looks washed out by comparison.

Raising the bar again Chaz... fantastic job! I like that bit at the end too

Very good camera work, and the high frame rate makes it looks super smooth

Haven't watched it yet but... I am able to convert is to proper HD mpegs and DVD versions too. The normal frame rate for film is 25fps so if you watch it on a telly it will look pretty cool at that frame rate.

Once I get them I will convert them and see how they go comparatively for size.

*edit

Just watched it. I can appreciate just how much time has gone into getting all those camera angles, it takes soooooo long. You have gone to a massive amount of effort to do that.

I agree with peptis, the music is a little to much "sega rally" for my liking but I still really like the vid.

Noice work.

I tried changing the vid to DVD standard. It knocks about 20mb off the overall size. Probably not really worth the effort of uploading.

Yep its called the Cineon Converter in Adobe Premiere, thats the only filter I used.

The music was a bit risky, kind of hate it or love it stuff, I wanted something that was technoish. When I was searching for music, I hit my Initial D folder and didn't turn back

@Righty, i can encode the vid to pretty much any specs if you wish, 25/50fps and res etc. I originally had it at 25fps but its just way too jerky.

I actually like the music... dunno what the people over the LFSforum are on about :S

Needs to be upbeat to keep the movie interesting, and i think it did that. Also the relevance of the last song is good as well. =]

I didn't realise you were using premiere. I thought you were doing something with the LFS movie maker. I was just using premiere to convert it

I use premiere everyday for work so I am pretty familiar with it. I don't know where the jerkyness would be coming from. I watched it back at 25fps and I thought it was good. As that's sort of the industry standard, I tend to convert all my stuff to that frame rate.

You're right its not that bad, but I did a test with 50fps and couldn't go back... hehe

Bugle · Post by **Bugle** » Sun Oct 28, 2007 11:58 am

A+++++++ would watch again!

Sounds like the stats for my last two lfs movies (first one rendered at 720x576@50fps, last at 1024x768@30fps; my computer couldn't handle any higher).

I'm glad someone has finally made another LFS movie in a higher resolution than mine

downloading HD... having to wait lots of time before downloading the next part

LOL Damn EBayers.

A++++++++ Video delivered on time but music was a bit to be desired. Other than that Great LFSer will deal with again.

Surely you take that title if you have not as first thought watched the pokemon movie, as you assumed it would have such music.

"A quick video showing crazy physics on the BF1. Sambo insisted he be credited for the music, so he got a BIG credit at the end :P"

You fucker, in my defense, he was like right sambo you have to find a classical piece of music with length 1:19 to suit this video...and for those who dont listen to classical..most pieces last about 6 and three quarter days so it was tough.

@ Chaz: You ever going to make those other "Crazy physics bf1" into a video? That was about 30-40 minutes as I recall... I reckon Sambo could find some classical music to suit that easy!

dwayno · Post by **dwayno** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 2:32 pm

Sambo: Music choice is inspired!!!!
Chaz: Kinda reminds me of the Honda "when things just work" ad, the way the camera dollys along. Classic video!

Kubica would have walked out of that with just a sore toe
