New film and new software tool

[Geemark]

Hello fellow BF2 fans

Me and some clanmates recently finished our first BF2 film, and we would like to share it with you.
The movie is about 5 minutes and consists of a series of small clips. There is no storyline, but the movie is supposed to put a smile on your face... that is, if you agree with our sense of humor (or lack thereof)

We put a lot of time and effort into this, so we hope you enjoy it!
Comments are most welcome (here or on YouTube).

Watch it on YouTube - remember to watch in HD

Lastly I would like to mention that we created a new tool to make life with BattleRecorder a bit easier, with a GUI and features such as batch rendering of recordings. If interested, you may read more about it, see screenshots and download it here:

See you on the battlefield!

But what is the difference between your "Machinima Tool" and battledirector?

Thanks guys - appreciate it

But what is the difference between your "Machinima Tool" and battledirector?

We originally designed our tool just to do the batch rendering, because Battledirector cannot do that. That is, pick a number of time-consuming rendering tasks, and let Machinima Tool run them one by one until they are all done, auto-selecting the encoding codec etc.

However, from that, the tool had a few additional features added. In particular, we needed a way to actually browse and select the camera paths to put in the rendering queue, and from there the remaining few features just popped in from convenience.

It may appear that the applications are much the same, but that mostly stems from the fact, that both are a frontend to the same tool (Battlerecorder), and besides from a few tricks here and there, both tools can offer the user only what Battlerecorder/BF2 is capable of doing - hence the very similar features.
