  • Here, Password is "Qz" (I get 160KO/s) :
    http://www.2shared.com/file/3839998/1c3 ... ugust.html
    =)
    Sorry, but I was fighting with AE and it shit avi/xvid compression.

    Here another permanant link (55KO/s) :
    http://membres.lycos.fr/tiwouz/Mirio_FOTM_August.mp4 (warning, seems to not run use the other plz)


    WARNING : Its a TEST. DO NOT share it.
    Its over-effected. I think there are all the effect I need.
    - Blur / "earthquake" / Directional Blur (shine) ...
    - I got the name of the player and the month at top.
    - I test compression : mp4/H.264 : looks fine and slime.
    - Slowmo with "pixel deformation" (AE add images between dead frame and not ugly ghost ones)

    1) What do you think about the video effect ?
    2) I need your help. I dunno video compression.

    For the moment the test is :
    res : 768*576 (SD) but originale video composition is 800*600. What resolution shoud I choose ?
    deb : 5500kbit/s
    freq : 25 img/s
    encoder : the one of adobe mp4/H.264 with 2 pass.
    lenght : 00'12
    size : 7.5 Mo.

    Thanks
    Qz

    ps : I think about it.
    Where I'll uplaod my movie (I think it will be an archive with text file) ? I don't have any place to have good downloading and permanant link. thank.

    ps2 : just got an idea, Think I'll add black lines or lower third for the name and the month. Like name at bottom and month at top.
    To hide HUD and other ugly text.

  • I think it's ok, but I don't like the shiny effect of the mortar, imho that's must go (lags behind, very unrealistic and imho too much)

  • The laser effect was ok I think, but again, too much of it. I like slow motion replays, that accelarates back to full speed when the action happens.

    Thanks a lot.
    Is too much, I know, I made the video to test them. I can easily set them less visible.
    I repeat, its a test =)
    I like slow mo too.
    BUT there is a limitation, To have something enough good looking, I only can slow down at 0.5. But I got some FOTM with slowmo at 0.5 - 0.2. I can do beautifull Matrix Style Slowmo.
    Accelarates back to full speed is obliged if I want sync with music.

    Peoples who are used to watch Frag movie/footage (video edit0rz too), I'd like your comment =)

    Thanks to green for the prefect video.

    I think all the winners will have something like that, others will take less time.
    I really apreciate working on that, the problems for now are :

    - I make a lot "switching" between premiere and aftereffect (I don't have super adobe magic link). I'm not a pro, I need your help on working format between the 2 softwares (I need the both).
    - My gf back from a long travel, I'll have less time to work on it.

    Please DO NOT blame me about the quality : it's a trailer,movie quality will be better =)
    Please DO NOT blame me about the over-effecting : I still look for nicesss effects.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    Any review/comment is good, C.Brutal and others (you too GreEn =) ).
    And if you don't like it I'll stop the movie and I make a nice trailer for me =)

    ------

    ok.. I don't like the music, but that's just my opinion :wink:

    you should use another font for the beginning.

    I like the effect at 0:38-0:41

    You mean.. the movie or you GF? 8-)

    Well i'm having problems with the kind of music, but i guess thats me and my taste. Also i think the basis movie was too light (high gamma) because at first i thought there were not even dynamic lights (from the rocket) enabled. But then i noticed its just the high gamma. To compare see this: http://esteel.planetnexuiz.de/nexuiz/vi ... mortar.avi (i know its a bit inaccurate because of my ping and the images seem a bit washed out but i'm too lazy to rerecord/reencode)
    Also i hope this was just because its a trailer and in the final version the text-to-content ammount will be smaller. An other thing i'm not sure how to improve is the loudness of the hittone. Esp. in slowmo its hardy audible. Too bad is also needs an svn nexuiz server but the svn engine does support different loudness for different effects.. Maybe when recording one can use a pumped-up version of the hittone? Both would mean rerecording which i guess is too late now. Maybe for the next one..

    The good thing is the movie is really smooth, the frag is great and the editing is also fine. Well done!

  • Ok, thanks for review Esteel and Fisume.

    That's why I don't wanna share it yet.
    Always probs =)

    Dunno why you can't watch it with VLC.
    I can watch it with quicktime player and VLC (mac os x).

    But no way that my movie can't be watchable by everyone.

    I can do a divx or xvid compression for tomorow at the same quality.

    but the music.. no wai Confused .. sucks Smile

    ok.. I don't like the music, but that's just my opinion Wink

    Omg, I choose the most listenable music in the choosen ones.
    Does really anybody don't like music (Its fucking cool music dudes =) )


    Also i think the basis movie was too light (high gamma)

    Ok, I didn't work on contrast / brightness / gamma yet. I supposed that the original light of green video was fine.

    the text-to-content ammount will be smaller.

    ye =) Just to show that will be more.

    An other thing i'm not sure how to improve is the loudness of the hittone. Esp. in slowmo its hardy audible.

    I didn't mix the sound. I just imported the video with the sound and add the mp3.
    The music have over-basses. That's a good point for me. Because I wanna something heavy.
    The thing is, the sound in slowmo produce low tones too.
    But I ear the trailer without images and I liked it, them I don't mix it.
    I dunno anything in audio mixing :/


    I'm used to have a very high gamma while playing. Yours is to much dark for me. That's my tastes =). But maybe make more darker effects than lighter.

    The good thing is the movie is really smooth, the frag is great and the editing is also fine. Well done!

    Thanks =). I'll continue it.

  • I think greens (and for sure mine) comment about vlc being unable to play it was regarding my link/movie.. for some reason vlc can't.

    And yes, i think making the movie a bit darker would help the quality.. the light effects in my short movie should make people go: awww cool :)

  • No idea what is happening, but it seems I can play the file only on my laptop, but not on my PC here. Anyways, I just watched it.

    First, thanks for using my august frag and for all the credits mentioned in the clip.

    Then, I am a bit confused why this is a "Frag of the Month" trailer. Isn't this supposed to be a "Frag of the Year" thread/movie/trailer?

    Then about the content: Of course in this trailer there is not much to see when you just use one clip :P . In fact, this is rather a teaser than a trailer, since in a trailer you would see more than one scene :) (but that's just a technical detail of using the term). However, some of the texts were hardly recognizable due to the font used and the effects applied to the font. Other than that the presentation of the clip seems nice. I am wondering though what the actual sense of the "shut the fuck up" part is.
    About the effects used during the playback of the clip: nothing that came into my mind that was too annoying. The quality is not the best, but that's just normal when using such compressed clips.

    As I am having holidays now, I do have time. So if you need any clips from me that I've already posted in a better quality, I can provide them, e.g. as 90 fps clip as XVid with 100% quality. The file would have x00mb size (e.g. 300 mb for just a few seconds) but it would be "lossless", at least almost.

  • Ok, cool that you can watch.

    - The terms FOTM/FOTY and Trailer
    Yeah you right. But remember, I'm french =)

    - Some people don't like the presentation Font (Sidewalk), ok
    2 solutions, 1 found an other one Or I use the one on lower 3rd. I'll see.

    - "Shut the fuck up" part.
    There is nothing against you dude =). That just the way you frag him especialy the last nex shoot :twisted: . I found that go well with "stfu".
    The lyrics talk about nothing in particular :

    Pleymo roule au top alors tu shut the fuck up.
    Enhancer roule au top alors tu shut the fuck up.
    Nowhere roule au top, you shut the fuck up.
    Pleymo Enhancer and Nowhere are bands/groups. "roule au top alors tu" means "drive to the top then you".

    - I can give you the After Effect project file and Premiere Pro project files.
    Then you will can change only video source and export it with better quality.
    (Just send me a place to send that if you want).

    - I can't work much for the movie now (gf =) ). So, I'll don't REedite another version of this Trailer/Teaser. Feel Free to edite it and recompress it. Its an GPL Frag Movie =)
    Anyway, I love the way how it is for now. So I'll don't modify it.

    - Thanks for the review Greeny. I really wait for it to continue editing.

    - I'd really like the comment of Sir Kojn then I'll begin April Month =)

    - Do you think I upload it on Streaming platform (dailymotion) / on gaming-video website (own-age) OR I should wait your editing =)

    - Do you think the movie is on good way to appair on official Nexuiz media page ?
    (that's my main target after having fun making it =) )

    (Just send me a place to send that if you want).

    That won't work, because it is not only the after effects project file that is needed to correctly render a clip. I would also need all the used fonts, all the custom after effects effect plugins used in these compositions, etc.
    Unless you have a limited traffic account from your DSL (?) Internet provider, I think its really easier to use a clip that has a better quality that I upload somewhere and you download it, rather than having to mess with project files

    No idea. I think you can upload it somewhere on these sites if you want.

    Well, right now this trailer doesn't really show much yet. I can only talk about part of the clip that shows actually something from Nexuiz: that part is already good, I think.
