Quote from Micha :

Sorry guys.

But I am not in the mood in the moment to make this compilation. My HD crashed and all Data with it...so feel free to do this compilation.

I'm really sorry about that, but right now there are many things in life way more important and it would take a lot of time to collect all the data I've lost.
I really love the idea of this thread! Keep the idea alive without me. I might be back in future.

So I'm looking forward to your compilation.

Hey lets do a competition. Who is making the best compilation?

Fair enough
All Micha needed was motivation - such a demanding comment from someone was needed to get him to post an update

Quote from squidhead :

REASONABLE? He's hounding a person for a movie like Micha owes him

That's true, but I meant the basic idea behind it. The topic starter hasn't posted a word about what's going on with the movie since. Hell, I even forgot about it so I do not demand anything here, just got the e-mail notification "new reply to thread 5 Seconds", and I just realized there was a video coming.
Not a single person has asked about the video since, including the topic starter.

Quote from DevilDare :

You never know what kind of video he is making!

Maybe he aint just sticking all of them together. He might have a better idea. (I know I do. I could see what I could do with these vids).

Anyways. If its only 15mins, do it yourself. Surely sticking all the vids into a timeline aint that hard.

I'm not the one craving for it. I simply defended that guy who has a reasonable thought by wanting to see the video - surely could have put it more nicely though.

Quote from squidhead :

Did it help? Was movie instantly created? No? Wow... how strange! Want a movie - make one, but don't you dare rush other people's work

Dude just how long does it take to have a damn compilation of already made videos. You know the answer, 15 mins.
He (the thread starter) obvioulsly forgot about this 1 month+ old thread, it is reasonable for others to show their interest in the final video, which is exactly what NunoMike did Nothing wrong with that.

Quote from Micha :

Normally I keep quiet, but now I just feel like saying this:

Come on people! This is just for fun!
Always bashing and rating and "I would do it better"? Why? Respect everyone and his opinion. BTW It is not always necessary to say his opinion, sometimes it's better to just stay quiet. And I can tell by own experience that this rating-mentality can be really annoying. If you like something, tell it everyone, if you don't, well, what am I supposed to do. I watched this forum for a long time. People do work in their sparetime to show you something they like and hope to entertain you and some really put their "heart" into their creative work and some people just don't have other things to do than letting them down. Sad but true. To be creative is much more than just use this or that music while using this or that camera perspective. You have to go your own way. Don't follow the biggest lines all your life or the line will end some day. Listen to what people say if they are honest and not just pushing their own selfesteem by letting you down. And I can tell you that I always think twice before I post my own work here. Not because I cant stand critics, but because of not beeing tolerated to see and do things differently than the mainstream. And why always rate everything? This is good, this is bad...It is what it is. Sorry, but this is not my way of life. This competition is not about A vs B or looser and winner. It's about doing something together. Is this so hard to understand for us human beings? These words have been in my mind for a long time now. Think about it before telling everyone your beloved opinion.

Very well said man, you are absolutely right...
This whole thing should be considered as a common thing that each gives their part to.
I like the idea that there was multiple choice, too, thus trying to ease the "competition" or "winner" edge of this whole topic.
Also it is true that with every posted video, there are always people who thinks about them as "good" or "bad", comparing them to already posted other videos ("not as good as xyz", "seen better" etc), instead of trying to enjoy them - every video is meant to be entertaining, not to be the best.

Keep up the good work, I appreciate your effort for keeping the community together/active with this collective thread.

It was really good to see what this "5 sec" idea triggered, diferent approaches.
- some simpy captured a moment
- some made it funny, entertaining
- some showed you can put much content in 5 sec

I wonder what's the future of this idea, if there will be installment of the "5 Sec" competition

Hi everyone!

Here is my entry:
Drift Factory
A short one (really?), I put my new (work in progress) industrial tune under it.
Vimeo link of the same

Actually I have another one,too:
Flatline
Been wanting to make this for 2 years, never made it long enough

My favourite is Thunderhead's entry - I laughed hard ) Well done

Quote from superpower :

I agree with you Squid , but lately i dont have time to work with more precision on my movies.

Just wanted a video done to have some "record" that 5Elements ever existed I guess. You often have an idea of making a video fast like in a day or overnight hehe

Oh Squid that's art right there hehe. I like your 5 line limerick, pretty decent

Quote from John5200 :

well the problem is, when you take a remix with tons of effects the best way to make it fit the vid is...... to take tons of effects

That's right, with such a well edited audio, a plain simple video content would look like it's nothing special.
On the other hand I don't even think there's so many effects in this, just fine. Only used when needed, and it's good.

@amodabestdood; @nesrulz: cheers people, glad you like it!

Quote from e2mustang :

Awesome as always bud! i miss those great drift battles with you

thanks to you too, and we can drift again any time

I find this video quite unique and creative, nice editing and colours!

That short moment @1:49 is my fav part of footage.
The distortion effect is gr8

Btw the Doorly remix is great, never heard it, thanks, good choice

Great editing, energetic video, it was really interesting!

That was really nice work, congrats buddy.

Quote from Lynce :

The KING of LFS Drift movies.

Absolute awesome and very good taste in ALL DETAILS.

5 stars here and in Youtube.

Oh wow (-about 'king')
What a nice comment, I really appreciate it!
So far I've received various feedbacks, and I was wondering what others with more insight,who's also into editing much,would say. I'm relieved to hear your opinion and such certainly does motivate me to keep going.
I'm glad you -and most people- like it.
It's interesting to see how different people have different tastes and some finds it amazing and some just doesn't like the music/effects/something.
As with everything, it can't satisfy everybody!


From now on I'd do short 1-2 mins videos, it will allow me to work with more music

Thanks all for the comments so far!
@STF: I really like the comment, I'm glad the efforts of building around the audio can be sensed that much. As that's my only intention! Making the music visible.

I appreciate all comments.

Illegal mods, well, to be honest it never occured to me to think about it. There is 3-4 cars that's suitable for drifting so I don't care using a chassis mod, we all paid for the game anyway. (but I do know it's not really legal otherwise.)

Hi guys!

It's been a while. I just wanted to post a video that I started doing quite a while ago (>half a year) and I only finished it now.

About this video:

This video -as all my videos- was made for my love for MUSIC most importantly.
Making the audiomix at the beginning is an important part for me.
Sometimes I'm told I might use "too much" effects.
This shows some misunderstanding: I don't put effects to make it look "cool" or popular; I want to set a mood so I'll do what's needed.
This video is meant to have a dark theme and be kinda weird and dragged at times.
Btw, I could always edit MORE -it's just a matter of time really.

If I was to make a realistic car video, I would obviously put in different effects /if any/. My videos are meant to go well with music basically.
I think the kind of videos I make would be more similar to AMVs, where there is no story either, the whole video is about editing and syncing; about music.

Well, blabla, I've always done my videos without any intention of appealing to the masses or making "teh best" lfs video or anything at all.

It's about music.
I've started music production as well, have a MIDI keyboard, so I'll be able to express myself in another way, creating music -right now it's making videos to express my love and focus on details in music, (with too much effects and syncing). I'd work with other/real footage of any sorts as well, only to express something to the music I mix for it (see my Limewax mix)


So, just Enjoy it!
-Tarc

Quote from mookie427 :

Venetian Snares - Kétsarkú Mozgalom

(Two-poled Movement in Hungarian)

Nice one, my fav is Szamár Madár from that album

SKC - Lobotomy

Quote from squidhead :

I meant the effort as a whole... Your previous works set quite a bit higher level mark

OK I see what you mean - I took my time on this one, too, may not be visible.
There is room for more effort indeed, plus it's been a while I made a video, and this one took weeks due to inactivity and problems with AE etc; I just wanted to make better progress near the end - never the best thing to finish something in a hurry.


Thanks for the comment

Quote from squidhead :

I can see that if Im brutally honest...

I meant "taking it easy" on the comments

And yes I know the picture could be higher res - but I can't improve that, ofc I wasn't forced to put it in to start with.
Text could have been nicer and so on - I do know

Quote from squidhead :

Nope, you're not... You've missed the screenshots in the beginning of the video. No matter how good they are, screens are not to be used in the video... it's not a slideshow, man

Yep bad qualy pics, not mine, kinda bad decision. I'm taking it easy, I didn't make it for contest or perfection or something. And i posted here to spread Worx's drifting not my skills or something So I would even post a frapsed replay if that's all I could do to help Worx in some way - they're good guys

Quote from mkinnov8 :

if you want to specify more what you want, or wish to try again with another mpr, im more than happy to record and host the file while you download.

Now that was a generous person. Seriously, others (with squidhead in front) would be just hostile, it's really nice to see kind people like that - with default cameras, it takes like 15 mins to record things then drag'n'drop and let it upload in the background anyway, yet many would have refused any help.
Although he could have waited for the net to be fixed again.
Well, I was just surprised to see a normal comment in this thread after reading the starter comment I didn't expect much.
