Nice shots all around. I was expecting to hear some Top Gear voices overs or something in reference to the Stig though.

Quote from [SWE]RE :

Thanks all for the comments, it's great to see that the movie is appreciated. :]



Yea, about that.. I don't know why the aspect ratio looks like that. I've read on youtube that movies should be 1280x720, 16:9 and a bitrate at over 3000kbps to get the best quality, so that's how I'm rendering it. 1280x720, 9000kbps, 16:9 and yet the cars look squished. Oh well, the MQ version available for download is rendered with another codec and the aspect ratio in that file is fine when watched in VLC. :]

What codec are us using to render that aspect ratio? Also, you should contact me next time you do something related to IGTC because I have premade water marks, logos, and somethings I can't release publically at this time, that might be of intrest to you.

Decent video overall. I find that you sometimes use a little to much FOV for my taste, but it looks like you used a little less this time. Just work on the focus a bit and you'll be doing really good.

We've got 3 Mogulus sites up and running, and I've never seen a file take so long to be confirmed for on-demand. You might want to check the placement of the commentary file, and make sure it's correct.

Pretty good movie overall. The drifting was quite nice.

Am I like one of 20 people that uses this sim for racing? :doh:

Yeah it looks like the location was specified, but the file wasn't placed within it.

Quote from squidhead :

There were way too many drift videos before

That's the big problem I see. Most racing videos have a point to them, rather it be related to a team, event, league, hotlap, etc. Drift videos on the other hand typically lack direction, and after a while it's like watching two people you've never heard of, twin over, and over, and over again. About the only drift videos I even care for anymore are the ones related to drift events, or if Lynce made it.

Back to the point at hand... This video isn't really bad or anything, it's just a bit repetitive. Overall it's a fairly decent video, it could just use some more direction.

Well not having much experience with these kind of programs, but some years ago I played with a trial of a program that was really easy in making nice looking 3D text and small symbols.
Have a look at the trial of ulead cool3D. http://www.ulead.com/c3ds/runme.htm

I think I used this a few years ago as well... It does some nice text renders, I just hope it will do scenes. Thanks for the post.

I personally don't like seeing the field bunched as much as this test race. Decrease speed, bunch the field, and slowly accelerate to the line. There is no sense in slowing down multiple times, and you should never go below 40 to 45 MPH. All in all, it wasn't that bad though. It's not like we're in GTRs...

How did I miss this... Great job Passo, on the video and the new avatar!

Quote from AstroBoy :

I really like the video as usal mate.
But i was wondering if it were possible to make the igtc logo more dynamic? Like rather then a picture u know make it see through or 3d i dont just something diffrent?
The ending is just a bit of a let down for me

I've been thinking about getting a little more into effecting the images in videos. I really wish Vegas had a dynamic text editor, but it just doesn't do what I want.

You guys have any suggestions for applications or plug-ins that might help this process?

I thought it was quite good. I think some minor lighting or color effects would go a long ways though.

Quote from pr3da7or :

improving the camerawork is a matter of training i think, and because i have not much of training in doing lfs-movies i think i will get better when making more movies.

It's a question of patients a lot of times, and that's something I don't really possess.

Awesome effects in that one.

Quote from Lynce :

Caoz a big hug.

Me too! http://www.btpmovies.com/wp-co ... rs-of-endurance/core2.jpg

That was good...

I don't think the footage fit the song very well because of the tempo difference, but the lyrics made up for that. The camera angles on the other hand are just simply HAWT!

Thanks for the posts mate!

Lacked a little variety but I really liked the lighting effects... It was pretty good overall.

Main reason I did this is because the video isn't done, and I really wanted to have it out as close to 2008 as possible. It's going a be a little while, trust me, but at least the thread will have been on time. :P

:iagree:
