I hate you. :sadbanana


The rest of the video was good.

LMAO, a classic post.

Don't get me started on that chicane...

Great broadcast though, one of my favorites thus far.

Not bad... Zoomed in a little too much during one scene but nice overall.

Ouch, poor guy. What the hell was that woman doing driving so fast there???

I thought it was fake, but IDK...

I'm really not to fond of using such well known music. The first thing that came to mind when I heard that was... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCOq8VQSAy0

I understand that you can't go into all the details on TV.

This is the primary reason I don't have a problem with the commentary. The videos he is making are trying to resemble a hot lap that would be put on a broadcast... I must admit that calling the video "hot lap insight" might not be the best idea, because some of the information is incorrect and it's lacking really detailed aspects that the driver would point out. However, I see broadcasts in America every day with just as poor quality of commentary.

On the video side of things, you really need to work on FPS. It was getting pretty choppy at times.

Quote from hyntty :

.. Actually I can't think of anything to say to that. I'll demonstrate your appearing poor driver quality by this: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=MXalUfutNUc

Not quite sure what your getting at here... The video you posted is basically all single car spins, and that's not the problem with this video. I want to make clear you understand that I know how great some of the drivers in this league are, but the constant crashing gives the appearance of poor racing. I understand the crashes were pointed out for excitement, but to much of a good thing can be a bad thing. In all seriousness though, do you think F1 is going to use a video like that for a season review?

With that being said, it's not over the top to the point it's a bad, repetitive movie. The video it self is rather nice and the angles were up there with some of the best. I personally really liked the usage of color effects and on boards in this one as well.

Quote from traxxion :

Nice video, although a bit too many crashes to my liking.

Yeah, there were so many crashes that it almost made the driver quality look poor. I don't know who else was in those races besides the big three, but there were some blatant crashes out there. Congrats to you three though, I'm sure your pace was unbelievable.

At first I was expecting something a little different, but I really liked that style of shooting. Makes it really easy to see whats happening on the track.

Quote from dadge :

not a fan of onboard cams then? shift + u is good when you want to give a camera tracking feel. but the custom view gives a much better onboard feel. 2 totally different methods for 2 totally different effects.

Pretty much...

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

If you're going in a straight line and not going up and down hills.

That's a question of camera skills and height, but, that is true.

One thing you might also want to note... You start the video with a slow segment and transfer directly into another slow segment. Anytime you change the tempo of a video and you change it to another similar tempo, the second scene always looses interest because your viewer becomes board of the same tempo. I think leaving :25 - :49 out of the video, or removing the intro and leaving :25 - :49, would help the initial interest level the viewers get from the video. A side from that, a change in camera style once every 3 minutes would be nice.

I always felt the term, "my cup of coffee" would be more suiting... I guess that's because I'm American and consume about 4000 gallons every morning.

Quote from squidhead :

good first try.
A few advices:
Use more camera smoothing
Don't do slowmotion movies out of multiplayer sessions
Try to sync. the editing to the music

That's about it...

Summed it up nicely.

Shift + u with a follow cam works really nice too.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Not very original if you ask me

Never seen or heard of that video ether... Using a duplicate song is not unoriginal. I don't recommend it, and in my case I'm not longer going to use the song. Unless your actually trying to match a video's music/camera angle combo, it's still an original work...
