[ Collaboration ] Front Page Video for Nexuiz 2.5

[Sepelio]

Just came up with something I thought might be neat for the HLAC, if anyone has an appropriate clip.

Basically involving a clip of someone using the hlac, laser jumping above the other player then descending in height until being just above them then blowing them to bits with the secondary.

If you have that, but slow it down and maybe do some 3rd person camera rotation it would look quite matrixy and neat I feel.

well 240 = 8 x 30 fps.. that should be enough for motion blur but split the video size in half.

Hello,

I don't know if there is a part for online deathmatch too in that movie but:

This is a demo of planetnexuiz 2on2 SVN server. I used TAG a lot:

SVN needed.

Hope those are good enough.

For the results I've obtained playing with avisynth and its motion blur, I noticed that if you use a fps < 15*30, you can see clearly in rapid movements the previous frames (that are inserted in the current frame by the motion blur effect), each one separate from the other. And this looks bad for me.

Using 16*30 fps my eyes couldn't distinguish the previous frames from the current one. The effect is very smooth and a pleasure for the eyes. In this way you can obtain the same quality of "October", the famous Pavlvs video.

The video size is double, when you handle it, but the final video file is even more compressed: the encoders work better if the video source have less particulars and defined stuffs.

Ohh you are right, just popped into my mind, I also captured on 480 fps! Okey, so hopefully we have a few demos now, someone who captures it. the encoding settings, so what about the music? It's easier and more natural to fit and cut videos under the music once you have it, then the opposite.
Personally I really liked the music that shaggy sent, if someone could cut it to ~1,5 minute long, it would be cool. Or any other music that comes up? About the editing: if still noone hooks it up in the next few days I take it, but I have only solo core cpu, so the editing/encoding process goes kinda slow here, but anyways, at least someone takes it............ (I know some basic effecting stuffs, transitions shouldnt be problem either, neither to align it up with music)

To the people submitting demos in this thread. I had requested you include a timestamp as a courtesy to cortez. Please don't just post demo. To me it appears as if you're saying, "yeah, there's good stuff in there, just find it for me, I'm awesome at Nexuiz but too lazy to help a you find the frag highlights in a 20 minute demo."

If we want to get this done, we need to work together and that means everyone doing their part. Piling extra work on cortez isn't how we're going to get this thing done.

Other than that, it sounds like good things are happening in this thread in terms of ideas for production. kojn had said on IRC that he may be able to help edit but feared he might not have enough free space on his external harddrive. I'm not sure how big the ultimate quality videos will or NEED to be in order for kojn to work his magic but it would really benefit us all if we can help him out on this some how.

The only reason he hasn't finished a video yet is because recording can be a long and tedious process and doing all the work yourself for a well edited video is hard. If we can get him all the clips and all he has (gets) to do is edit, his time will be better spent and probably more enjoyed doing just this .


Anyway... if we can't get that figured out, we need to find another person who can edit, lets try to get all these aspects of the project laid out so we can get it done...

..we don't want a 2.4 video for 2.5... do we?

@ -Z-: My demo's are full with awsome frags. You don't have to search for hours.

ego, eh

If I had the time and if I had no side projects, I would have volonteered long time ago. But I simply can't.

I'll go through my last FOTM clips, find the demos and find the time, zip it and upload it and post link here.

I could provide a few frags with weapons not used that often, but they are from old nex versions, 2.0 or newer, and I dunno if they are wanted here.

damn you , I mean, from the beginning till the end of each demo there are enough frags to record

I'm also too busy to help out, and I don't care for frags of mine. I'm not much for fame or whatever. I'd rather pick up on my Heroes, watching season 3 from the beginning since a few days back. Haven't seen season 3 yet until now. I'm gonna start watching episode 12 soon, gonna lay down on my bed first.

Peter is by far the best character there ever. And the only one I trust in the entire series He's a good guy to the bone All the else are untrustworthy IMO, even Hiro too. Maybe that you could trust Ando.
