Video encoding can be hard, I'd say give Windows Media Video a shot, it's actually quite a good codec. Be careful with the sound 90% of the time it's the sound that's making the video so much larger than it needs to be, I haven't quite found a good way to encode the audio.

PS: Downloading now, will review later.

Just watched it...fantastic. Very cinematic and very professional, my main criticism with movies is their camera work, here it was FANTASTIC, but I have to know how you got it to be so smooth, the camera movements were much smoother than anything you can do with a mouse, did you use a joystick or just move the video around in the editor?
Criticisms - the length, it ended somewhat abruptly, also the sound effects seemed to lack a bit of impact, boosting the volume of the effects compared to the music could probably solve this. Other than that it was fantastic, I just have to know how you pulled off that camera work.

Re: { Film } An American baby in Iraq.

this sort of production makes me wonder why we dont join and create a Snoken type of team to make longer scripts with more "actors"...

Re: { Film } An American baby in Iraq.

It generally not the actors part that is the problem.
Creating a film like this takes unbelievable amounts of time in editing because of the advanced programs and effects used through out.
What would be helpfull is a warehouse full of the best editors all connected in LAN with a handy rendering farm. Then the results would be truly breath taking. Shame this is never gonna happen. :p

A really great movie, but it was way too short!

Re: { Film } An American baby in Iraq.

Sir. Xios I understand you since I do edit for fun using all sorts of programs at once ( eg Aftereffect7+Pemier pro1.5+sony vegas 6) and hell yea if you want a good movie its gonna take you agonizing time =) But if you look at the video productions, they generally don't work alone

All done with a mouse recorderd in slow motion, then rendered back in real time its the best way i found in BF2. Then in Vegas on a lot of the shots i zoomed slightley in and cleaned them up.
Another good way i found to get strange camera pans was do a pan shot in bf2 scroll shot right to left, then in vegas zoom in and pan the opposite left to right, the same with zooms , zoom in, in bf2 in vegas start zoomed in and zoom out. try it

I guess it is because we're still experimenting with cameramovements but we can't figure out how to get them smooth... we have already tried the slowmo trick and results got better but not as expected. I guess you didn't use Fraps to record your shots. BF2 is a pain in the *** when it comes to movie recording, I liked the BF42/V style much more.

Didnt use fraps and bf2 recorder. I find it works well but you will end up shooting the same shot a good few time to get it right. I acted out the shots myself which is a lot easier never mind 10 - 12 people running around trying to get good shots !
