    Why does it look like the video is edited? If you go to 12 seconds in the youtube vid (the other link seems to be dead at the moment), you can see the video clearly jump like 2 vids were stitched together. I'm not accusing you of anything, just wondering why.


    thats because of slowmo (i guess)

  • It's not cut, it might just be the youtube video.

    If you watch closely you'll see that the nex beam is in the same place (the trail) that mandinga fires before the little 'glitch' or whatever it is that makes it look like 2 clips toghether, also the mortar that is fired at him continues on the same path :)

    omg you discovered my amazing video-editing skillz !!!!!!!!

    hahaha nope .... well when I've recorded it originally I started the slow motion part with like 0.5 speed, then 0.2 then after the impact restored it to 0.5. After watching the video the frame-jump was there, and I thought it was a bug related to changing the demo speed while recording, but had no more time and uploaded it like it is online right now. Later I've recorded it again without changing the demo speed, but to my suprise the same glitch was there, also if you watch the video at normal speed you can notice the frame-jump, so I think its just what the demo have inside.

    The HQ link seems to be working right now :)

    Cheers

    I think this could be the demo itself that contains some choppyness.

  • For the first time, I will have a FOTM for October.

    Be warned, though, i got a bit carried away making the video for it :wink:

    It should be ready in a day or two.

  • To pavlvs327:
    First of all, that first frag (FOTM oct) really rocks :P

    Apart from that I like that whole movie. It uses an interesting style. The music somehow fits and resembles the original feeling that one usually has in Nexuiz, at least on space maps (music theme :P). The motion blur is a lot, some will like it, some dislike it. However, that much motion blur and the over-bloom'ed image quality introduces some kind of interesting atmosphere, as it makes the image blurry by a lot, but still, the important action is visible. The image correction is also well done ;)

    It's certainly not the way I would make a movie (because I am a fan of little motion blur and very crisp images) but as I said, it's worth a download, and should get its way into the media section of www.Nexuiz.com. I am not sure of whether it should be the intro movie on the page, but it should definitetely be a download or stream being offered on the media page.

    As I mentioned previously, I got a bit carried away and added some more clips :P


    Ok, first of all I am not a pro in movie editing (still learning stuff etc.) and I am sure I couldn't do it better than
    you atm ;)

    This was very very good for your first movie, pavlvs.
    I have to admit that the first frag rocks ;P Some other very nice frags (like the one at nifrek on final_rage) too.
    The effects weren't bad too. I think the Motion Blur fits very good with the full movie.
    I like this music. DnB is always good. Can you pm me the name of the song? =)
    I don't always like the 3rd person view on nexuiz at general (it could look good with the right camera position).
    The intro was a bit boring. Perhaps a small suggestion for your next real movie, you could make something more special.

    I am sure I forget some things to tell you, but there is still IRC :>
    Good job with this movie. I am looking towards your next project.

  • OK theres no way this will win, but I thought I'd put it in anyway since I've not entered anything yet. I'm too lazy to watch through my demos, even the ones I've marked specifically. They always go out of date before I enter them...
