Re: [Movie] The RazzamatazZ Compilation

Nice vid,

we had same idea at the same time for many sequences :cry:
You even made one I was planning to do :cussing:

But I really prefer the way you introduce those special jeeps
And nice sound editing

STOP video with boring story of people fighting for honour, liberty, friendship :blabla: or whatever
DO video like this one and mine ... and mine too


:laugh2: my first joke in english :yay:

Re: [Movie] The RazzamatazZ Compilation

LOL
Although jokes are a plenty in this movie, I fear some won't get the dry British sense of humor.

Re: [Movie] The RazzamatazZ Compilation

Xalias, had another question for ya. Is your sound settings on 'ultra high' in game? The helicopters sounded incredible, and the blackhawk minigun also. You might of added some bass on some of the sounds, but just the sound in general sounded so nice.

Mine is on high, my card can't support ultra high. And I remember how much of a difference the sound changed from just going from medium to high.

Again, great vid.

Answering questions...

First, I can't believe filefront is screwing us over, they will be getting another e-mail plus I'm still waiting for bf2files to host, I have no reply yet.

The sound, hmmm it's tricky to say why the quality is so great, compared to in-game sounds found in... Let’s say "mine" - coz I just watched it again.
But I can give you some key details.

The Bf2 settings are on medium.
FRAPS was on auto detect
My windows sound config (the little speaker icon) was in stereo mix, recording mode.
I have an AC97 onboard sound chip.
Use C-media drivers UDA_039

And it's funny you say bass has power, you see, I love my audio drivers, I use because it has a unique feature which is "bass boost", very useful if you have tiny speakers like me, but I have no idea what it sounds like on any other speaker system with 'normal' settings. The sound warbles for me, so to fix it I have the balance the over bass with the Wave control, which is about half way down.
I may sound complicated but If I were to upload a mp3 of what each config setting does you may understand it better.

Of course I also did allot of sound editing in Vegas, but that was mostly volume control, cross fading, cutting, looping, etc. But nothing to do with the bass or quality.


P.S.
If anyone is actually interested in this movie anymore or could not download before, your be pleased to know I have contacted fileplanet, and I may find you guys a new mirror within the next few days.

Re: [Movie] The RazzamatazZ Compilation

I'll put the movie on my server for a few days if you still are looking for another mirror. Not sure on how fast it will be but get with me if you want me to do it since I have alot of left over bandwidth I want to get rid of. Server specs are:

Quad xeon 3.0ghz each
4gb of ram
10mbs
Average server load is 6%

Rules:

• The video-length should be under 5 minutes.

Lol, sort of blew that rule away really. But maybe I could submit a single section from my movie. I'll give it a try tonight, and I'll call a vote on it if you guys know the best sketch from the compilation. "back to the future", "airmine" etc.

And thanks to everyone for the kind works. Shame filefront didn't start off as good,
Joe, I would appreciate that very much.

P.S. I'm not at home right now, but I can give you some screenshot of the setting in vegas to get that custom effect later.

Re: [Movie] The RazzamatazZ Compilation

The SF Text
I’m not sure about your knowledge around Vegas so I covered the basics.
1) Firstly the basic text settings...


The glow is an outline with is made to feather out, but not too much as we want it to follow the letters quite accurately.



2) The text overlay is positioned and fading in and out accordingly. The effect "TV simulator" is applied with default settings.

3) As you move the video forward you set each key property in the diamond graph at the bottom on the effect window.


To stop to text from going static after the fade in, you set line sync and vertical sync at max (1) with the rest at 0 (the red diamond). The speed at which scan phasing occurs (this being the apparent flashing of text) is adjusted to the soundtrack beat.

After the effect has gone on long enough, copy and paste the red diamond (which would be grey as default, as red is actually telling it to "hold" automatically) to where you want it to start fading back to the default effect settings, with the total fade out of the text overlay.

There you go, hope that helps.
You can invent tonnes of snazzy text effects like that (and "The Uncappables")

The end title effects are allot more complex, and more effects have been used together along with the animation of movement.
