No. they don’t look all the same, but many of them seem to be similar. Now this isn’t wrong. It’s just something that gets too profound in fast pace movies like yours when shots change in less than a second.

Now that's one of the best tips I've heard in a while... I was never aware this was that noticeable. Thanks!

Quote from squidhead :

You guys should feel ashamed of yourselves putting him down like that with your links to tutorials and stating his mistakes!

Don't let Broken catch wind of this...

Awesome movie and awesome race... It's hard to hear the commentary in some spots, but other than that it's perfect...

Edit: Ahhh, it's good with my matrix off.

Quote from Lynce :

Another nice movie from you, Bigtime. As always the contrast and glow it is just perfect.

Thanks mate. Look forward to your next project.

Quote from broken :

If you think that all you have to do is state your opinion and move on, then you could have done it.

If you had simply stated yours, you would have that outcome. Problem is you didn't. You have 7 post in this thread, which using this train of tought is 6 to many. In this case though, it's 7 too many...

Quote from broken :

And, no, I don't really jump from thread to thread, but you know you said that just to try to make your post a little more nasty ...just as I did with the line above :doh:

That's exactly what your doing... Or is this the only thread you look in?

Quote from broken :

It's not my video, but rep is a person I respect; the video is made for "my" server(I actually hate to say such things, cause it feels like pure bragging... but after I have to explain the situation I will), and so I would actually prefer comments that contain more explanations than flaming. That's it.

The video is rough around the edges... People have stated that, but for some reason you haven't been able to accept it. TBH, I'm not a big fan of flaming ether, and that's exactly why I'm getting on your ass... You're flaming people for stating their opinions. If you can't see that, just go re-read your posts.

Better yet, let me make this really simply for you. The reason people aren't stating their opinion and moving on is because you've came into a thread, and told everyone what that should and should not say. Why not just tare up the first amendment while you're at it? Until then, you should go to womens section of LFS forum...

And thanks, you answered my question. You would rather have people come in and post smileys and "good effort" comments to make you feel better, than have people point out flaws that you could improve on in your future works.


Let me say as I said earlier, there really isn't anything wrong with this video other than the FPS issues.

Today i've installed a new graphiccard driver... After 6 Laps the PC crashes...
Can be the graphiccard broken maybe ?

Please Help its really important

My dad had the same issue. Everything ran fine except for LFS. Believe it or not, it ended up being software related. He had some applications running, I'm not sure if they were infected or not, that slowed and crashed his LFS. I simply used Ctrl + Alt + Delete to view his processes, removed everything that was unnessicary, removed those programs in MSConfig, and his computer is nearly lock up free.

That's probably a rare fix but... Worth a shot.

I don't have any affiliation with the thread? I think that you don't know what you're talking about, mate. I'll let you think that over one more time when you get more facts. I can even say that it's you who has nothing to do with it.

And I don't know if you can tell which replies are more flaming than describing what's wrong with *something*.. Take a look at LFSn00b's reply - no flaming, just explaining what can be improved and how. Now that's a reply I liked. Your answer is not too harsh either, so I guess you know how to find the limit for a nice reply.. But I can just guess.

You took the rejection harder than the video maker himself. He's probably learning from this while you just wanna jump around from thread to thread and raise hell.

The point you seem to fail to understand is that nether of us have special affiliation with this thread. If however, you would make a post, state your opinion, and move on, none of this would be said. I understand Squidhead can be a bit harsh, but this isn't you video to defend... The video creator would probably appreciate it if you just moved on. Besides, although squid is harsh, if the creator listens to him his videos will improve.

I like Ken Block and all, but I have to agree. Somewhat overrated.

I didn't really remember wanting anyone's opinion on anything in this thread. In fact all I did was to say my opinion too. And "fast slideshow ad" - Admit it, you people just like to over-react, and right now you're doing it only because you want to make his work look bad. He spent time and effort to make this movie, and all you're doing is to grab tightly to that fps problem(which is only because of his PC) and (as we say in Bulgaria) make an elephant out of a fly.

You are the one that over reacted and turned this into a holy war. You came into a thread that you have no affiliation with, and basically proceeded to tell everyone and his brother that they are ****s for criticizing his works. Now would you rather have people come in and post smileys and "good effort" comments to make you feel better, or have people point out flaws that you could improve in your next works?

Quite frankly the idea of the video isn't that bad, it's just the technique used to create it. I noticed you said that slowing the game speed down and then increasing the frames doesn't work for you... All I know to tell you is you need to look back into that because I made videos for over a year with a computer build in the early 2000's. It's also obvious your recording at 1.000x per second, which is a huge no no.

Try this... Start fraps, and set it to record at 15 frames a second. Reduce the game speed to .5, or even .25 if nessicary. Record a shot and if your Frap's FPS stay at 15 then that's all you need to have flawless, lag free shots. Then right click the clip in Sony Vegas and increase the playback rate to ether 2 or 4, depending on the recording speed.

I never try push people down, i dont say bad stuff about them

Keep the system up and running. Don't let comments like this bother you... If Squidhead did, he would be long gone by now.

Quote from Jens O. :

nice video!
I wouldn't have put the same black "edge" (no idea what the correct word for that layer is ) for the whole video, but used different ones or only used it for certain scenes.. but oh well, that's the only tiny thing that came to my mind

I use light rays to create that.

Nice video. The music was good and the action was great. It was a little crude in some respects editing wise, but still a really well put together video.

Amazing.

You're loosing a lot of frames on those shots. What are your recording methods?

Entertaining, cool video.

I would use a little more view smoothing, color curves, and when you have disappearing cars in a shot, you can pan/crop it out if you don't want to re-record it.

Well yeah, you have a good point.

Quote from John5200 :

btw, when can i say amazing to your next work?

If I could get this many "amazings" for ever video I do, maybe sooner than you think.

Seriously though, we have no schedule planned as of yet. I have two ideas in the work but, that doesn't necessarily mean you'll see ether of those. One thing I plan on working on is some legal aspects of BTP... I'd like to setup a organized system for members that if they wanted to have their own BTP made video, they could put in a request and I could give an estimate.

Have you yet learned the power of DownloadHelper add-on for Firefox?

TBH, i didn't expect responses like this. I thought it was at the lower end of my totem pole, but I guess not. Since that's the case, I'll get one up for you later tonight...

We posted our videos at exactly the same time!

Great video.
