Live for Speed: Takedown
Hello again,

I'm back with a new creative project which I started earlier this week. My initial ideas were inspired when I remembered my favourite ever arcade racing game, Burnout 3:Takedown. I went to Youtube and watched the intro movie.

If squidhead was to evaluate that video, he would find many things wrong with it, and I agree that as a piece of cinematography it isn't very good. However, there are a few moments that I found quite exciting and that I wanted to recreate in my video. The video I made is not a direct copy, but it contains 6 similar moments to moments found in the real video. I didn't try to copy these moments exactly, but I wanted to at least give the same impression which, I think, is what I did. This video was also supposed to test my special effect skills. I'd never used Adobe After Effects, so trying to incorperate what I wanted to incorperate was very hard. You'll see some kind of *wtf* moments, but just suspend your disbelief for the 1 minute video.

I'm not totally happy with the way this movie ended up, and there are a number of things I wanted to do that were impossible with the software I was using, but overall I'm pretty pleased.

First, watch the original Burnout 3 Intro on Youtube
You can stream from YouTube.
You can download from FileFront (19.45mb).
BONUS FEATURE:
You can watch both videos side-by-side on YouTube, so you can compare them.

You know, playing LFS sometimes does feel like playing Burnout.

Nice video.
Annotations available on the side-by-side version.

Thanks guys.
LOL nice one!
Pretty nice mate, keep it comming
That had lots of action...I liked it a lot. I think it was a very good edit and I loved how you made the ending with the explosion.
Good idea, but I think we were the first one who thought this one =).

...But we didnt got InSim for that so we started to make stunts =).

But anyway, I have played B3TD, and its great
Mate, I love your passion when you make LFS movies.

Another great work.

Perfect adaptation to the LFS.

Thanks for your kind words, guys.

I didn't need insim to make this video! Apart from one tiny bit, the video was made totally using the shift+u cam.

Yeah, I know. But we really tried to make one =) actually, maybe in future when we have massive 24/7 servers, then we could try it again.

I've always wanted to blow you up. And now I've made this video, my lifelong dream is accomplished.

Aw you hurt my feeling.(Joke joke)

But stil nice vid lol
i like this vid alot, there was even one of our team in it crashing i see. i just didnt like the explosions on the cars the end one was good tough
The explosion at the end was just epic. However, lots of core cars getting spun in there makes this video SUCK!




LOL, J/K. Nice work!
