This is my first ever LFS movie.
It's a drift movie
And I chose the BEST lfs song :P
Enjoy
(and I know I messed up twice, but it was like 1am at the time of filming

The quality isnt very good because I had to compress it to 15Mb, because it was 150mb before :o
I'm planning on making videos for all of the aspects of LFS... GTR racing, F1 racing, drifting, stunting and maybe cruise but I'm not sure on that one
If anyone wants to help out in the making of any of these it would really be appreciated

- Default camera angles.
- Next time, hide the chat messages.

+ I like the slow-motion on turns.

Avoid game cam, use Fraps. Custom cameras would be better, but it's a great start

I'm not quite sure how to hide chat messages, and what do you mean default cmaera angles?
And thanks.

Because I posted more minus than plus, it doesn't mean it was a bad movie. Seen MUCH worse. It is just that I know jack about drifting, and thus can't judge it.

And about "default camera". Instead of using "v" key to change the view, use shift+u to put the view somewhere manually.

Good movie

Shift+U to get camera angles different, don't add all the straights and stuff in, just the drift parts. Record on half speed to get smoother video by pressing F2/F3 and F3/4(cant remember them right), then speed it up.

Not bad for a first movie. I think you should work on your drifting a bit though :S didn't seem smooth at all and the part were you go on the grass :S.

The rest is what was mentioned above. Mostly the camera. Maybe try to get effects going like camera shaking slightly when the car is really close to it. (Probably hard to do but looks REALLY nice)

Keep practicing your movie making skills, you'll get there.

Is it because of that it starts with the lyrics "it's about as bad as it could be"?


on topic, that's not a movie, it's a frapsed replay of poor drifting, lacking fps

Ok well I've taken everyones advice, except the fraps thing.. because that makes my game laggggg.
This one has better fps, better drifting, better music, better camera angles and better editing

Damn.. the font and style I used cut some of the letters off and it looks like Typos :| It's weird how you only notice these things when they're on the net
Anyways.. do you think its any better?

MUCH better.

However, found a typo from the video. What is a "styl"?

Thats what I mentioned above, it isnt a typo, it cut it off due to size :| Because of the size/style/font


Oh and for people that are bothered (lol) here's the origional SPR replay (interesting name, isnt it? :P)

Damn. I read your post completely, but forgot it after I watched the video.

Hehe

A lot better!

Maybe try adding camera's that are not actually in the air flying beside the car and around but use camera's that are outside of the car like on the side of the track and stuff. Would make it so much better and plus it's probably easier to control then to move around with the mouse.

Big improvement however.
