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.

Oops... That's what happens when you do a rushed update. Thanks guys.

That's no problem. It's looking good now.

Just to point out some errors. Round 4 report says:

In qualifying, David Williams was able to secure the top spot. He, however, would* make it to the finals of the event. David Williams was knocked out in dramatic fashion in Round 1, by Michael Passingham. Michael was extremely defensive and David Williams simply couldn't find a way round in a very close fought battle. The finals would be run between Andris Pavars**.

*I think you meant wouldn't.
**Looks like you cut this sentence a little to soon.

And just out of curiosity... Where is round 3?

Great work overall guys, everything is looking really good on the site.

BTW, I will release my end of season statement soon.

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

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.

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...

I have done some hotlaps, my pb is 54.4

About the same times here...

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.

Quote from blackbird04217 :

I've already complained to the admins of IGTC who already moved events for the Kyoto 500 conflict, but they couldn't do anything about the finale of Head-to-Head... Odd, considering the effect it is having on us...

I personally don't have a problem with it. Even if you plan on running 3 hours in the IGTC race, you might still have time to run both. Still, this kind of stuff shouldn't be scheduled like that. In all honesty, IGTC shouldn't start until after the MoE season IMO.

The .00001 chance of winning comment is actually quite a classic.

Either way, the fact IGTC scheduled this the same weekend kinda sucks.

DW du, I can still see the post

Are you talking about the .00001 chance of winning post?

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 evilpimp :

Being pretty close is good enough for now, I'll get there some day :P.

You guys have been improving nicely.

Quote from evilpimp :

Quote from bigtime :

All of them should be pretty close to alien.

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

Totaly agreed this should not become A alien only leage that would be a great shame.

This is a top 8, one time event... All of them should be pretty close to alien.

Quote from Watson02 :

Wouldn't that one be full of crashes too?

If your judging from last round, yes.
