Movie Dilemma...what do you think?

[k0jak]

I've been thinking over the past 2 weeks or so..should i just record my clips on my own pc?

If i do this...there will not be 100% Graphical effects..like bump-mapping, cause my card does not support this feature, however the detail will still be as high as possible, and i can start capturing now since i already have written the times down for over 40demos..that's quite a lot of footage...I could proabbly begin editing the movie within one month if i record on my PC.

Or..we can wait for esteel to record my clips, put onto a external HDD and send back to me...this will take quite a bit longer but will have full graphical details..when i say quite a bit longer..like atleast another 2 months im guessing..so 3 months in total, also i dont know if esteel has time to record as much now cause of his new job.

I'm growing a bit impatient since i say i will deliver, but at this rate it seems i won't, i think it would be better if i just release A nexuiz movie..with high graphic detail..good video quality and amazing frags.

I've put a poll up to see what you guys want.

well, you could allways have esteel throw them on a local apache server and you can just keep a computer on for a few days downloading them.

I think I'd want to see the best Nexuiz can offer, but I don't know anything of it.

What is this Nexuiz movie, and what will it be for?

i dont care, as it will be 6 moths mot pmatter what.

Some solutions which might be o.k.?!:

1.) Start making the movie and make a "remix" later on when you got the stuff from esteel (that wouldnt be to much work, as you allready know what you want to put together and are able to optimize what you dont like after the work is finished). So you get some feedback and the remix will be very good.

2.) Ask some friends if they know someone with a powerful machine to record (of course, with some beer) this stuff together.

3.) Last thing which might work: Ask here, maybe some people can help you out there to record stuff. If some with good pc´s can record some parts, it would be o.k. with downloadrate (e.g. downloading from 4 users at once isnt to slow and it´s not that much work for one person like now for esteel).

Just my 2 cents, of course i would like to see it as soon as possible (yes i cant wait )

If it been without HDR or offsetmapping, it would be ok to do w/o, but since bump/deluxe mapping is a standard feature (on in normal.cfg) i realy think a nex flick should have it. How mutch data are we talking abt here anyways? if you setup packages with detaild instructions and one demo file each im sure many ppl will help you render it.

it should at least have the essentials.... then again, if you wait too long it will be out-dated anyway

That's true..I can do a short clip to show what details my pc can show..and then we can go from there.

speaking of kojn's rubbish pc, our uni just got some new iMacs in, 2.33 GHz dual-core 2gb ram, 256 MB ati x1600 graphics, and a 20 inch display. Tried out nexuiz on one, looked crazy awesome, had it up to 1680x1050 on ultra.cfg and it was still pulling 25-60 fps (although I remember that one of the effects is disabled on macs)

How about you just record everything on them pc's for me then?
