first video: Inkognito vs. TechnoRocker!
I recorded the scenes with fraps back then, compressed the clips and sent them to inkognito who did the cutting work and compressed the whole vid again - a miracle that the quality didn't get totally lost

second video: Bad Day
this one was completely created by me, so one might call it my first video, too

I agree on sponge's opinion, not a bad first try at all!

in the 1024 x 768 version I noticed a minor bug in the helmet, there's an invisible part for a very short time (around 1:33). it doesn't really bother me but it might be something that you yourself would like to avoid next time, that's why I mentioned it

the video editing software I use (avidemux) was updated and after those bugfixes adding filters works way better than before.

so I played around and added some filters here and there. nothing too special, I did not change the actual footage - but some of you might want to give it a try anyway (..or haven't seen the video yet)

Quote from Stigpt :I loved it - but I hate you. I wanted to do a movie with that song, now I cant.
I wanted to do a movie with "requiem for a dream", you also broke that

tell me what other songs you got on your mind, so I don't need to think about a song for my next video
no seriously, I don't mind if someone uses a song I already used. I've spotted several videos in which "requiem for a dream" is played lately, but that's okay since I am not the owner of those songs. maybe it has even been used before my Impressions-video and I only did not know about it, who knows

Quote :I like more of the "racing action movies", not the "special effects movies cause we can" movies.

I totally agree on that, and that also makes me know that not everybody has to love my videos. I'm not too skilled using the software, I (mostly) just want to share the good racing I had or in this case I wanted to make an into.

well don't take my drifter-comment too serious, it's just your video(s?) I saw were about drifting and on my last vid you commented "solid 8/10 from me since Im not racer, if I was - 9/10" which made me think you're a drifter.

Quote from squidhead :you couldn't do the music justice, you didn't choose original music, you didn't do good with the camera work, you didn't do anything to make the movie look better than "average".

put an "in my opinion..." in front and I'd be perfectly fine, that was my second point... let's not start a war about drifting, racing or bad videos now since that would be OT and not what I wanted to score.

Amen.

thanks for the comments so far

Quote from felplacerad :Too bad there's no engine sounds though.

ye I prefer the game-sounds too, but when not capturing in realtime I'm not really able to manage dubbing the sound :\

Quote from Stigpt :from jensO?
Straight download to HQ, not even touching streaming

stop it, you make me blush

Quote from [SWE]RE :it's a bit short

yep when watching it is, but I've run out of ideas and material, so I just left it this short and called it "intro", imo it's in the intro's nature to be shorter than you like

Quote from squidhead :
1. The music is quite over used, and you didn't do it justice (Video clearly isn't as good as the music)

2. Pretty average camera work, nothing done to increase the intensity of the video.

3. No special effects what so ever, combined with no color filters, and pretty regular cameras made me feel like I'm watching a regular replay using shift + U.

4. you're a drifter
I don't complain about the content of your comment but I'd like comments to show that their just some person's view, this sounds like "the judgement has been made, amen."

you have to set message block to 2 if you wanna block every kind of message if I'm not mistaken.. but ye in the latest Y you can block em just in-game (I think it was by pressing shift+f a second time after clearing the screen by pressing it once already)

www.zippyshare.com

or just all of them so we can choose

Quote from JoeCool :Nice Video with really thrilling pure Race-Scenes. Well done. It lacks a bit on eyecatching and fine cuts. And it has some really ugly skins in it - purple rims...uuhhhäääää

eye candy is missing because I don't use software like premiere or vegas... but yea some effects might improve it

the lack of skins is there because all the scenes were recorded on demo servers (believe it or not ) .. and concerning the purple rims, we have to blame N I K I I suppose

.. and thx for the comments

Quote from squidhead :which can be turned off by pressing Shift+N

which you only do if you do not want the gamesounds to be in the video - but I think he did want them

nice video

I know it's hard (for those who don't own a high-end-pc) to get a proper amount of fps while recording at 1x speed because of the game-sound.. and the only other thing which gives me room for criticism is the 4:3 screen, since I myself use a 16:10 screen - the black bars on both sides look odd in this case
but that really shouldn't bother you, well done!

very nice movie!

I especially like the position list and stuff which make it look like a cut of real TV broadcasting, and then the music just matches

One minor suggestion by me is to set MPR Message Block 2 in the config file - the messages didn't really disturb me much while watching, but it's so easy to avoid them

Nice video, I liked it although I'm not a drift fan

Quote from squad_e :I dont know why i get low FPS when i start recording LFS.

I think the framerate is _okay_, I mean, your video is not a slide show and I think most people don't care! but there's one more possible reason which may cause lower fps than you want: if you record with fraps, like I do, you might try setting lfs to 16bit ... for me it makes a big difference, though I got no idea why fraps doesn't like 32 bit

Quote from moskvich3v1 :How to make a replay video?And after that how can i play it (spr,m..)

Both in singleplayer- and in multiplayer-mode you can save the replay by pressing the button "2". You find the replays in the main menu -> replays. Then while watching you can switch the view by pressing V or switch to other cars by pressing tab. And if you want to record videoclips from your replays, this tutorial may be helpfull!

Aston Cadet sounds alright, yea.. but I don't think I'll have much time in near future ..


Quote from squidhead :...lacks some extra tension and drama, but most movies do...

guess I wasted all the tension and drama in my previous movie then

Quote from d6nn :i think it would be better without the sounds

hmm okay
I myself prefer lfs videos with engine and tyre sounds, think they're more exciting.. doesn't really work that way for slomos of course
but I think in some parts the engine sounds are too loud compared to the music. because of the different fields of view that I used, the engine sounds are different loud. I tried to fix that with setting it all to the same volume, didn't work for every part of the video


ah and I updated my first post, now uploaded a version with some simple effects and blur, the file size is only 59.9MB but the quality hasn't changed for the worse imo..

@stam1na:

1. Choose hotlapping mode or any other singleplayer mode, press escape -> options -> view -> custom ... that's the menu with which you can play around - set "Draw: Body" so you see the car, then mainly change the X-, Y- and Z-Offset, Pitch and Rotate View.. then in your replays you can switch to this individual custom view with pressing V

2. Try upkey and downkey (the arrow keys)... another option is changing the field of view by pressing the key 5 or 6 .. that's not a real zoom but it looks like and may lead to nice effects (but also to odd views sometimes, especially if the FOV is >100°, so be careful )

hope this is any helpful

yea maybe it was used in an LFS video before, but then I missed that one

I think here in germany they used the song in DTM broadcasting for a short while, but not 100% sure about that. and probably you didn't watch DTM on german channels

Quote from kurent :No way it must have XRT!

..on Kyoto Oval maybe?

Quote from sinbad :I recognised the song you used, but can't put my finger on where I heard it.

I can't tell you where you heard it, but maybe the songname "Hold the Line" (surprise, surprise :tilt by Jeanette is any helpful

Quote from kurent :I guess now we have to find a new combo to learn so we can drive it blind folded haha.

should we really spend that much energy in one single combo again?

Quote from Gil07 :Just hold the laiaine

will try xD

Quote from e2mustang :btw did u use tweak? coz i saw far too many numbers on speedo

uhm no - those replays were just from patch W and X (that's why it is the old blackwood). there the speedo had that amount of numbers, it was changed lately, during the many test patches on the way to patch Y
