some random pics:


motto-days just before final exams.. that day was bitch/gangster day


prom


..and just some rather normal pic

all pics taken in the first half of '08

I liked it.. quite some tension and a dramatic touch with that music, also

Quote from BigTime :

First thing that came to mind when I heard the song was our first ever CoRe video... LOL, that brings back some old memories.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v ... &feature=channel_page Yeah its kinda crappy. :P

that song sounds indeed familiar.. I didn't know someone used it before, though

and your video isn't bad, at least not for someone who has a soft spot for racing videos

first of all, thanks for all the feedback

Quote from Mysho :

Although ppl will have notes you were using mainly onboards probably, I really liked it and it has a good atmopshere to me. 9/10

I thought onboard cams are very suited to make the viewer feel like he's in the whole action, so I didn't avoid those. seems to work, thx

Quote from TAYLOR-MANIA :

I also saw a part with myself and my mean, green racing machine pulling a move mid-way!

yup the look of the front end was one of the reasons why I put that scene in. it somehow fits to the rather aggressive song and racing, I thought

Quote :

Oh and the only critique i will say is that you used the same crash twice... oh well.

I agree - to be honest, I expected to get a lot more criticism or improvement suggestions, since I am not 100% satisfied with several things. (e.g. some camera angles, boring scenes, using some scenes twice, some cuts that are not completely synchronal, the ms-paint-introscreen, too low or loud gamesounds .. - I didn't want to put all the whining in my first post, already )
but I wanted to get the video done before university would start again - and since it's not important to me to publish perfect videos I decided to upload this version instead of waiting for my next holidays, when I'd have time to overwork it.

keep commenting, cheers

I made another video, wheel2wheel. it's all about single seater racing, including the fox, fo8, bf1 and mainly fbm. some close and tough racing, passes, crashes, mainly shown with custom onboard cameras, something for the racing freaks I hope - enjoy!

great one, I really enjoyed it!
..had no clue of what it's a "copy", though, but so what

a few camera angles and effects looked quite random to me, while others were just awsome and different from those that you see in "every" video. also I enjoyed most of the footage a lot, such a long video but I didn't get bored at any time. the music was alright, I would have picked a more exciting/catchy song but this seems to work, too.

nice video overall, thumbs up!

..and merry christmas of course

errr back to the video:

indeed it was not more than a frapsed onboard sequence, but since your post already let me know what to expext (no hollywood effects etc) I didn't really mind. the racing itself looked good and clean to me, so I enjoyed watching it.

of course cuts, a variety of (singleseater-)cars and a restriction to the passes, defending moves, wheel-to-wheel cornering and anything like that would make the video more intensive, but I'm sure you know that. effects are not even needed for this kind of videos (considering it to be a racing movie in first instance), imo.

well, my advice is that you don't let the harsh critics discourage you, try to learn from those, no matter how upset you are for the moment when reading those!

I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd give it a chance and watch your next video/movie, so keep trying and don't give up

I liked it! enough effects and stuff for my taste, also good footage.. to me it wasn't boring at any point, just pleasant to watch

well I don't like story-telling movies at all.. so I rarely watch them.. but this one was certainly the best one I've ever seen! first I thought with its nearly 10 minutes it will be way too long and boring, but that wasn't the case.

nice variety of camera angles, sounds and songs - and the elements of racing even persuaded the racing fanatic in me

well done!

simply wow

I love racing movies and they're so rare in lfs. this is definitely a great one, although I usually prefer the fights to be shown with more exciting music - I haven't seen race-action with such a relaxing music, but somehow it seems to work great, well done!

for some reason I enjoyed watching this

didn't expect to do so, when I read the description ..but well done!

I loved the beginning, then there were some static cams which imo don't match the music, also I noticed some minor lag (on the oval part). but all in all I enjoyed it, especially the black and white slomotion part - looking forward to the final movie!

nice one, I liked it!
though adding the game-sounds would have been nice, imo

thanks for all the feedback, I'm glad that lots of you people enjoyed watching the video

about the colours/contrast .. personally I preferred the original LFS colours and used those for my videos, but meanwhile I think it looks kinda boring. I know that some people don't really like high contrast and others don't like the "boring" lfs colours, so I just kept trying until it looked like I like it most at the moment

Quote from Singledeath :

Yeah and that two wheel part was insane

I've run out of tarmac there, didn't have enough room to countersteer anymore - otherwise I might not have flipped over, who knows

for my taste the video could be a bit shorter and include more cuts - which isn't easy at all, for showing scenes which are long, I know

I did like the notes you put in here and there, also I enjoyed the intro and the sudden end which, imo, fit perfectly to the song. also the vid reminded me of my lfs impressions video, which I made a year back

good job, was worth the download!

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

You should make a new thread for it - so you can get maximum exposure.

yup I thought about that too.. but since I did not use the word "teaser" in the thread, I thought this one thread will do. I hope it gets some attention anyway

Quote from Bean0 :

What's the music ?

it's "Pogo Prose" by ... *caugh* .. the "Brainless Wankers"
I didn't want to have those words in the credits

and thanks for the comments so far!

finished the movie, please check the first post for download link and stream

Quote from G13Haze :

when i try to recompress the video with vdub to 60fps the sound still is slow?
no matter wat codec i use.. is that a recording error or do i need to configure something in Vdub?

not sure if I got you right - but if so, try this:
audio -> [x] full compressing mode and [x] use advanced filtering .. then audio -> filters -> add ... add "input", "stretch" and "output".. close that add-filter-window and doubleclick the stretch-element in the filter-window... then set the number with which you recorded (0.25 if you recorded with 1/4 speed) ... then press the test button and hopefully notice a proper sound

then, back in the main window, it might happen that the sound still sounds wrong (at least that happens for me), but after rendering and saving the video, it's alright

now that was great, I enjoyed it, especially the first half

Quote from [SWE]RE :

I sure like what I see there. Keep it up. :]

thx, I'll try!
actually I did plan to upload a version with way more contrast and some other filters but I couldn't fix a bug that occured when saving the video. whatever I tried, I couldn't get rid of a few huge and ugly pixels here and there, after the flashes. hope I can solve the problem for the full vid

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

Looks pretty good, although a bit too short to warrant making a teaser out of it!

I thought about that too, but then decided that I don't want to give away too much of the footage already.
hope I can arouse some interest anyway!

heya, finally it's done!

after struggling with my software I finally got the video finished today. I used a lot of torsdagsrace-footage so some of you guys might find theirselves in the video. please post comments if you liked it or got improvement suggestions or anything else!

well there's not much left to say, I hope you enjoy it

hey, I need your help:

I'm trying to set up a costum in the xfg. I placed the somewhere in the middle of the car and roteted it by 180° to get a reversed view. then, because I want to rotate the cam on the z-axis while recording a clip, I set "look function" to "ms x". but when using that cam, the movement range won't work in the reversed direction but only to the front (and only in the range that the driver's head is possible to move, it seems).

I'm sure I've seen such reversed and rotating cams in some movies before, so it must work somehow. can anyone help me? what option did I forget to set?

thanks in advance,
Jens

usually I don't like this kind of movies but I somehow enjoyed this one

I especially liked the camera work, the music wasn't anything special to me but it matched quite well.

I think the credits are a bit too long compared to the "rest" but that's alright because it's very original, not just a boring list of facts. and if you hadn't mentioned that you didn't put a lot of time and effort in this video, one might think it was a bigger project :P

I watched the google version and I enjoyed it a lot, it's really a pity that I can't download the video - 25 hours left atm until the download will be finished (filefront ftw -.-), but my internet crashes every few hours, so no chance to finish it

isn't there anyone who can put the vid on his server? I'm sure a few of you got some spare traffic to share
