good one, I like it! especially the first 25 seconds (with the rhythmic beginning of the song)

Quote from RasmusL :

Never.. Too much information in the sound when driving, music ruins it.

same here... I tried it with music in the beginning but no matter how low I turned the volume, it always seemed to distract me from the gamesounds

fel offered me a direct download link, I added it to the first post now. thanks fel!

Quote from FireMike15 :

Jens, it would be cool if you would use cloudy/sunset weather if you not use mpr's which are mostly on clean weather. Lynce made epic reflections for those, they're look very good on videos.

ok good to know, I'll keep that in mind!

Quote from DevilDare :

4 wide MRT shot was fantastic!

it's interesting to see how people like clips about which I thought "ok this is looks nice, but nothing breathtaking" when deciding whether or not a clip makes it into my movie.. sometimes I find youtube comments (or so) on clips that I almost hadn't used because I wondered if they were special enough

Quote from EliteAti :

too bad this kind of racing is almost non-existant nowadays...

yea I agree, it takes a while to find a crowded server with serious racers, but once you find one, I think you can still have lots of good races! ~90% of my mprs used are less than half a year old, btw

Quote from adagio4lv :

Sorry for the bump, BUT can anyone reuploud this movie please ?

there you go

70 mb avi for download, zippyshare also provides a stream but I'd just download it

first of all, thanks for all the quick feedback!

Quote from Inouva :

Annoying music clipping all the time

sorry, what exactly are you talking about? the gamesounds ruining the song? or the quality of the song?

Quote from John5200 :

no 720 for youtube?

I made a movie in 720p once (and I'd like all my movies to be in that resolution) but I had a few things going wrong back then.. briefly, when rendering the uncompressed video file the program kept crashing so I had to cut it into pieces which was a lot of work.. but I might try to find a better solution for my next one

Quote from FireMike15 :

Few things, I didn't like the transition at 0.40-0.42. You messed up abit.

yep that transition didn't quite work out, I noticed it after rendering the movie.. it's probably because those clips are way too short (0.11 seconds per clip) .. I tried to 'fix' it by that white fade, being aware that it's still no good solution

Quote :

Also some sync with music is not the best one, try to smooth down the video if the song getting slower and quiet.

Quote from Peña Racing :

Maybe a little more synchronization as Firemike said.

I tried to focus on synchronizing certain moves this time (like contact, impacts, drifts, headturns etc), instead of synchronizing the transitions between different clips. so it seems this didn't work out too great either
about synchronizing the pace of action with the song: I know I could have done better there

Quote from BigTime :

For as many videos as you've made, I'd expect to see a few effects by now...

and you'll probably still be waiting in a few years
I won't exclude that I'll ever try out advanced editing software and effects but at the moment I don't see a need, nor do I have much time. I'm keeping my videos simple, what I want to show is pure lfs racing action and not what you can do with good editing software.. watching one of those hollywood-like lfs videos that took months of hard work sure is entertaining for me, but those won't ever beat kraniwani's simple movies like 'why I play' or 'door to door' on my toplist, just to give you some examples.. it's a matter of taste I guess

phew, long post .. but constructive criticism deserves some attention, it's important to know where you can improve, so thanks again!

and merry christmas

I finished this one today, just in time for christmas

Quote from Mazdaratie :

Just for you

thx

nicely synced video, great variety of cars and different kinds of action, good camera work - I really like this one!
one tiny suggestion: less field of view can make the action look closer in certain shots .. but the video is already awsome as it is

any chance you can upload the actual video file to some server / file hoster?

I follow the majority, this is really really good stuff, well done! looks like a lot of time has been spent on making this

Quote from logitekg25 :

said the video is not yet processed

mmh weird... yesterday I already wondered how it can take that long, today I gave up my hope that it will ever be ready.. I think I'll upload it again later, until that is done you can use the (not so) awsome zippyshare stream as mauni said, download the video (~150 mb) or just be patient and wait

thanks for your comments!

this movie is about a league race from the weekly held torsdagsrace, showing the action from my teammate Jouman's perspective.

I did by far not put as much time into this as usual (longer clips and the same onboard cam almost all the time, only one combo etc) and hesitated with posting it on this forum as well - it's different from my other movies, just so you know

YouTube (fixed)

Zippyshare (download)

EDIT: uploaded the movie to youtube once again, it's available from now on!

congrats, teemu!

I'll probbaly be too busy to create something for the next round, but I'm curious about the topic and what you guys come up with

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

Definitely Teemu's video.

that's where my vote goes, too.. no doubt

thank you guys

Quote from Dennis93 :

ooooh boy, Jens... this is gonna be expensive

post your bank details already

Quote :

Any reason you chose this song?

It actually fits really good to the movie! good job!

I chose it because I felt like working with some (alternative) rock music, which imo works well for lfs movies. also classical music dropped out this time as I had already used such for two of my latest movies.
plus I like this song and immediately had ideas I wanted to try for certain parts, when I started considering it for an lfs movie

I managed to finish it way sooner than planned - enjoy, comment and rate please!

Quote from Dennis93 :

w0000t 1st scene. can i please get my Trademark moneys!

alright I got the message and removed all material showing you from the full movie, sorry for the inconvenience

on a more serious note: in the full movie you'll appear some more times (in the clips I took from our xrt/aston session with general, framaris etc )

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

I think you did, sorry A one minute trailer is probably slightly too much for a vid that probably won't be more than 4-5 minutes long. Removes all kind of surprise when the actual thing is released.

you're totally right about that. that's why after releasing it I sat down and worked hard to finish the full movie sooner than planned, managed finish it right now. depending on how long uploading will take, I'll post the links later tonight or tomorrow

Quote :

Just a random comment though, isn't that title slightly out of order? Du schreibt Geschichte=you write history if I'm not wrong, doesn't that sound a bit weird when most of the trailer is composed of(if I'm not wrong) some footages taken from Genuine's Dailycious, Torsdagrace and publc racing, so basically all semi-public/public racing?

and again you're quite right, I had thought about using or not using this song for a while, but finally decided to give it a try, knowing well that the content is quite unrelated to what the movie shows. just one thing, the song is not about 'making history' in the way you think, but rather about each of us writing a bit of history with every single thing we do and say.. so it's not necessarily about big achievements - knowing that, the song fits a little bit more, doesn't it?
(wouldn't have used a similar english song though but I thought most of you won't understand a word of this one anyway )

thanks for the feedback!

nice crash, nice editing!

Quote from zeugnimod :

Looks as great as always, looking forward to the full thing!

Love Madsen as well.

thanks
it's probably a bit hard to find madsen fans among the non-germans, though

right... youtube link added
