:balloons: Happy Birthday! :balloons:

Nice video overall considering it's format. Color curves would help a lot but it looks pretty good.

Quote from traxxion :

I'd just go for Patrik (Seidler)

:iagree:

Man I love your sunlight effects. The reflections are awesome too but I think the lighting is just perfect.

Quote from Forbin :

Congrats on the win, BigTime!

Thanks...

Good to see you back.

Quote from R.Kolz :

Go to the league section and find loads of replays. You should even be able to find a hi-res skins pack.

www.lfs-lota.net has some decent league racing replays too.

I've said this time and time again...

Get on board with some other commentators, or just do your own broadcast of a league race. Sadly enough your hard work is being wasted on racing footage that no-one finds appealing. Your commentary is good, but no-one wants to watch AI or unskilled drivers running around a track, sorry.

I really appreciate the fact that your trying. Just go ahead and take this to the next level. When you do, you will get the opinions and reviews you've been looking for.

I now know your secret... I probably should have noticed that before.

Once you start experimenting with them, you can use a wide range of numbers that look pretty good.

And the idea of having a little faster playback is that the lag doesn't show up quite so much.

Quote from L@gger :

Bigtime very ncie movies ... Can u give me pls some tips hot to make video that realistic ??? Can u say me what effects u use in vegas for it pls?

It's really just a combination of levels, color curves, light rays, proper lighting, and playback speed. I find that 1.2 speed on the playback looks much better than 1.0.

I really like how you didn't repetitively use effects on the same beats of the song. I typically like to try and stay symmetrical in that respect, but I loved the fact that I never knew what was coming. I might try being a little less symmetrical myself.

I really liked it BTW.

You could put that video next to the crappiest song ever made and it would still be awesome. Amazing effects!

Pretty cut and dry to me...

Thanks for the comments guys. I hope to do more work with the H2H team soon.

Just to inform everyone, the CoRe 08 video has hit a snag, so that project might be slightly behind. I have other projects going that are secondary, but the 08 video might not be ready until Q2.

HAWT!

I notice quite a bit of blur on the cars. You might be recording to many FPS. If you want that effect, it's nice from time to time. Just wanted to make sure you know that if you want it crisp and clean you need to record at less FPS, and decrease the speed you record. Also, if you have your Vegas setting to "best," it will do a similar effect. Preview looks much better.

Nice video btw.

Quote from Watson02 :

Or ill try and upload it tomorrow on youtube

Lets just go with Youtube.

I thought that was freaking awesome.

Quote from e2mustang :

Pretty much... Doing a series with one lap races makes the editing so much fun!

Wouldn't that one be full of crashes too?

If your judging from last round, yes.

Quote from J@tko :

/me is thinking of putting [itcc]BigTime[/itcc] into my sig

I can share...

Quote from e2mustang :

every video from you is full with crashes,why? nice quality tho.

Check the BTP site... Tons and tons of videos that are crash free.

Blackbird summed it up pretty well. It's not like this is a video for MoE or iTCC.

Quote from Joe_Keaveney :

Like I said earlier in the thread, I made some mistakes in this round. I don't think it spoiled the racing on track (I hope), but mistakes were made, and I need to recognize them and move forward. I won't make them again.

Not at all... It was a great event still.

Regardless of who did or didn't spectate after rolling, that's something admins need to keep a little closer eye on. IMO, if a car rolls and spectates there should still be an SC irregardless, and those drivers should be penalized in the future.

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

I just noticed that 0:44 is the second most controversial H2H moment of all time

:Eyecrazy:

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

I was wondering, why for race 1 you didn't use the qualifying order to set the grid. Am I missing something?

The race 2 grid was the one that really had me scratching my head.

Quote from squidhead :

it lost sync with the music at around 28 sec...

It's in sync for me... I think it's just that I started using a different note of the song to sync to in the 2nd half. Mainly because the drums in the first half are so weak that it wasn't strong enough for scene breaks.
