Quote from logitekg25 :definately worth the wait!!!! that was incredible!!completely loved it!

i think i kow how to get a less obvious roll over setup...have the damper all of the way up, front and back, rebound damper, none at all...sway bar i am not quite sure, and have the suspension stiffness and the ride height, give the suspension room to grow, and dont make the suspension too tight.

(i origionally took the rollover XFG as a jacked up one)

perhaps, but with less ride height, perhaps it wouldnt roll so much/as well? -its something to consider next time

But i cant really compare your movie to any of the others, because yours is more an action movie.

But i dunno, it seemed a bit empty? At heart all your was, was two guys racing about making other cars crash. Maybe some sort of storyline wouldve helped.

Maybe the main driver is an ex pro racer, and the other guy is just some idiot with a powerful car. Therefore throughout the whole movie you would see the ex pro racer doing unbelivably skillfull driving such as perfect racing line, weaving in and out of traffic beautifully, perhaps even getting the back out and drifting around a corner or two. While the other guy who is less skilled but has the more powerful car manages to not crash but was only managing to keep up due to him having a more poweful car?

Or you could of had lets say three people on the bad guys side? And they're all terrorising the first driver, but one by one the first guy manges to take them off until he gets to the third and final guy who is the leader/best driver.

I dunno im crap at ideas, but what you made was just a movie full of driving and crashing. It was good driving, and good crashing, and even a good movie but i dunno it was just missing something?

no, no, some good ideas there! indeed, its difficult to compare, and compete with things like lfs 2 etc, but there totally differant genres, agreed, teh carl had a better theme, but in terms of driving, action and crashes, we differ in opinion.

i do agree on the fact we had no major theme or storyline, perhaps in the future we will, but for this movie, being our first, we just wanted to see what we could get out of lfs, keeping it simple, yet creating it as actioned packed as possible. but look at bullit or ronin, do they really have a storyline, or does everyone know them by their car scenes

Quote from Migz :I started downloading this as soon as it was publically released, and watched it as soon as it had been downloaded last night.

Now i sort of liked it, indeed it was a great film, it was put together well, the music went great, the crashes were great, the driving was great, the sounds were great. It was all great, but it didnt exactly have me on the edge of my seat, other movies ive watched have left me going :| WHOAH! At the end. Yours just left me sort of, well that was pretty good but i was expecting yours to leave me running for tissues to wipe up all the....*AHEM*.
It's not a bad movie, but for some reason it wasnt that exciting for me.
But still, id love to see a second one anyways

Cheers for the feedback! - which movies in particular, or an example scenarios that "left you on the edge of your seat?"

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :Wow, awersome job What to say, everything looks so great and realistic that it's really hard to find drawbacks


There are just two points that made me tilt a little bit :
  1. ie, at 3:29 of part 2, you see no cars in the background. I know it's because of the limit of 8 cars on the dragstrip, but then I think you should have filmed the scene in another angle, because it doesn't look very realistic to have such a compact traffic in front of...nothing.
  2. 5:18, part 2 : I can't imagine someone driving on a public road with such an hard ride height
Anyway, once again, fantastic job, I really enjoyed the whole thing, the noice adverts, the realistic skins, the UF1 flying, etc, etc...

indeed part 2 at 3:39, obviously that crash was filmed seperate, with numerous attempts to get it right, having traffic in the background would of caused the filming to take much longer (considering that crash alone took about 3 hours..) in addition as you mention, there is a limit to 8 cars, we needed cars on the other side of the strip and our side, unfortunatly something needed to be comprimised, and considering traffic behind the white car might of interupted the collision course, we made the decision to have that area clear.

2: 5:18 totally agree!, unfortunatly on part 1 4:46 too. This is due to the lack of equipment, there isnt any air cannons in LFS...

Quote from hadesko :Well, yasterday i just read the comments here, everyone was like "yay awesome!!!" so i expected something really good, but this time, i didn't get it...
I don't like it, really...camerawork was abit crappy in some scenes, you should record with more camera smoothing! Also the effects, (well if there were some) were not that good. But i must admit that action was very nice. Oh and sync with the car sounds was good also!
Overall it was proper video, that i can watch once, and it's enough.

cant please everyone, life would be too easy huh?

could you be constructive and more specific on what scenes were "a bit crappy" just for the future in case there is a sequel

Quote from chucknorris :No skidmarks?

Our cars were that well fitted with electronics and ABS that skidmarks were a highly unlikly occurance, in addition to our highly skilled drivers, and to ensure consitancy on the repetitive use of the same 1Mile bit of motorway we washed off any marks.....

Quote from Lynce :Dowloaded and watched in HQ.

A lot of work in your movie production. Nice imagination with Skins to differentiate models and give more variety.

Astonishing work. I love the RB4 vs UF1000 part on Fern Bay and, finally, poor UF1000,hahahaha.

I love all sounds there (except engine, I think can be better but don't worry).

The sounds in damage scene and music tension is absolutelly perfect and brilliant.

Mate, this is the Pursuit movie reference.

I hope you can make Collateral colision 2?

Glad to see movies with talent people as you and staff that helped you. Very entertaining.

Sorry by my poor english.

*bows down* - an utter honour to recieve such compliments by some as established as yourself!

pole position driver, brilliant review mate, thankyou very much for the support, martin (StartWars) is enthralled by it, as he has just text me, poor guy is at work atm.... yes true, it would be ideal to just release it now, but that just wouldnt be fair without both creators being on the forum to recieve the critics and compliments.

-update: im having tea at 18:00 round his so it will be shortly after that :P

aye it is, ive been helping and keeping an eye while i can behind the scenes, but unfortunatly my new career (excuse the pun) flew into another direction. I joined the RAF (Royal Air Force) back in feburary, the weekends i come home (few and far between) ive helped out and fined tuned the excellent work StartWars has done editing our filming scenes.

The good news is im here tommorow for the release!

A years work too long, but good things come to those who wait, the main thing from me is an apologie on how long its been! Now we need to re-build the interest in collateral collision, its a car chase everyone deserves to see!

Message your colleages, friends, fellow racers and rivals. Lets everyone know, the movie of the year is here!:laola:

(disclaimer: in my opinion...)

Regular being anything apart from GTR's FZ5 and LX's im afraid, we've already had many porche's and ferrari's :P

But although driving slow and boring cars, the sight of what we do is rather entertaining, and you will most likely be involved of a crash or avoiding collision of sorts

City Advert skins, JPEG + DDS
unknownrisks
S2 licensed
Hi all, I am enquiring about how to adjust the advert signs on the billboards and walls of south city, Fern Bay, Blackwood and autocross. For our movie Live for Speed: Collateral Collision (trailer), my colleage StartWars and I were wondering which files they were. We have the necessary programs to adjust the dds and jpeg images.

Can anyone assist us by pointing out which files need to be adjusted? In particular - any Billboard signs/adverts, barrier/wall advert signs, PIT signs, and the red and blue striped things on the wall (we dont know what they are called :shrug. You get the idea, in essensce we are trying to create a realistic enviroment without the racing attributes.

We have however edited a few things successfully, namely the JPEG's SO_ADS1, SO_ADS2 and SO_ADS3 from the pic folder, which did change some things in the city, although not all. We did try to look through the dds folder for the remaining signs, but ovewriting the dds file did not work.

Can anyone advise us further what we should be looking for? (or what we are doing wrong)

Thankyou and Best Regards

Heh, i see why, Teh Carl is an awesome set of films. Thanks Don for giving us a target to beat . Ours will include crash sounds for crashes, (and if your reading Don, the police camera is a awesome effect, except you was constantly traveling at 143 kp/h lol), much more crashes (realistic as possible) and we can still call ourselfs orginial as ours is still the first car chase in traffic, rather than police

Although most of the footage is taken, there may be some unexpected shots needed, in addition there is some more to do, so we'll let you know, keep an eye on movie drivers request for more details and times.
