Gentlemen.
Damn fucking nice. Only thing I would criticize is the second part of the intro and the frame stutter from time to time. Love the ending the most :iamafag:

Liked Ganon's video best so far, but when it started to show people capturing the flag I got bored. Flag tosses or almost-dying or something actually interesting would have been a much better showcase of all the jumps, cubbyholes and safe rooms that yoyorast has.

I won't be voting for any videos that are under the 4 minute requirement, due to the simple fact that they're not following the rules of the contest. I'd prefer that no videos under 4 minutes in length even be considered for the final voting process. Changing the time requirement (or any rules) less than a week before the contest is due to close is complete bullshit.


I am doing the same.
Ganon's video looks good, but the contest was originally at least 4 minutes.

Higuy

I believe Freelancers statment to an extent about it being BS, however, Ganon practically edited his entire video, got clips, in 2 days. (besides the intro). He was also using Aftereffects for the first time he told me, so really I dont think it would take that long, especially when the video can be whatever time now.

You have no idea how hard I tried to eliminate that. I have 99 theories as to why it does that and a bitch ain't one :eng101:

Honestly, any longer on Ganon's promo would've bored me and made me skip parts to get to the end. It was the right length; you're showing off the best of Yoyorast, not every little hole and path you can find. If you want to show off someone walking from flagstand to flagstand as one continuous shot then by all means, you can get at least 4 minutes out of that but it'll still be shit. Freelancer is just being mad because he didn't manage his time well and now he has to edit AT LEAST A 4 MINUTE VIDEO L@L last-minute. This isn't anyone's fault but yours, and if you really expect there to be a full server on CE that isn't Blood Gulch well good fr*gg*n luck with that lol.

Also, i am the best driver minus the 8 times i fell off on atv :>

1. My prog makes the camera lag if you don't have enough system power.
2. Save the Fraps vid at runtime to another HDD and not to the one currently running the OS :P

Ganon was able to get the clips he wanted because people volunteered to help him out, however it would of been impractical of me to try and schedule 15 additional people and have them act shit for my video. That's not what I was going for.

His After Effects work is very basic, tutorial based work. I decided against including any because I didn't have the time to make an intro or outro in After Effects due to real life issues.

Coming from someone who isn't me, related to me, or acquainted to me in any way, that means absolutely nothing! I probably put in a good 72 hours of filming, organizing, and editing time on this project. Unfortunately I also have some things going on in real life (you should try it sometime) that prevented me from computing for long periods of time this month!

Don't assume you know anything about how my life is currently going, you don't.

Keep the > 4 minutes requirement or this is pretty much a joke!

Higuy
November 29th, 2009, 11:10 AM
umad :allears:

And to be honest, 72 hours of filming could of been easily made into a 4 minute video. if its 72 hours of nothing that you needed, you obviously wasted 72 hours of your life~

Yoko
November 29th, 2009, 11:18 AM
it's all about the fact that no one is fucking playing on Yoyorast Island V2 when I'm able to film.
Get 2-3 people to help you film, takes 1-2 hours. You can get a solid half hour of good footage since you're staging the clips the way you want, not just randoms hurfindurfin around Yoyorast.

If you got 72 hours of footage you obviously have some time to get on the computer. Have fun digging through 3 days of clips though~

Cortexian
November 29th, 2009, 11:27 AM
Hey guys, try re-reading the post again. I'm saying I've spent about 72 hours total work time on this project since it was announced.

DPeDroiA
November 29th, 2009, 11:50 AM
Also I have another thing to say...
May the quality of the video (like HD, high quality) be irrelevant when deciding the vote?
Sure, it looks nice, but it takes forever to buffer and also to upload.
I could of easily put HD on my contest video, but it would take a long time to buffer as well as to upload, so I did not.
Also, some people probably do not have After Effects or Sony Vegas.

Great vid Lateski! The intro was really cool, but the opacity on the underlying footage looked a bit weird. Would of been sweet if you included 3rd person camera shots,most of the fp ones were pretty sweet, but got repetitive and I think they are a bit easy to get :p ... Song was awesome too! What effects do you add to your footage?

CrAsHOvErRide

What effects do you add to your footage?

For color correction I used plugins for Vegas, they're called Magic Bullet and Newblue. If you don't have 'em I can sendz you!
I kinda only put effort in the intro and mixing the song, then I was in hurry lol... But I'm happy how the video turned out. :downs:

Nope, I was looking for a push back on the deadline.

Anyways, YouTube hasn't been liking my last few video uploads, it keeps telling me that the upload failed when there was clearly nothing wrong with my connection. I'm trying the "simple uploader" now to see if it helps...

It showed up in "My Videos" like usually, but it just said "Upload Failed" in the status section.

It also seems to upload in like 45-50 seconds after I hit "upload", obviously this isn't the case since my connection couldn't ever hope of reaching those speeds (try more like an hour or two)... It then just sits there, and if I check the "My Videos" section in another tab or on another PC the video status is "Uploaded (Video Is Processing)"... Again, clearly not possible. This happened before for a few videos and I just had to keep reuploading it until it finally worked like 50 attempts later.

Guys, i wont mind if you are 1 hour or 2.. But hurry lol..

Lateksi, i was going to tell you its a pain you removed the moment when you snipe (in the air) the guy jumping from the ramp going from beach base to atv base + the moment we see the custom hog in the gaeagz without music and suddenly the music starts when a guy fell dead on the floor you know... Those were 2 of my prefered moment..

267MB
1920x1080
00:04:30
Encoded with Adobe Media Encoder with the Windows Media 1080p High Quality setting, customized from 25-29.97 FPS just like all my HD videos.

t3h m00kz
November 29th, 2009, 04:32 PM
I'd say try it with a different encoder, like Xvid if you can. Single pass, 1.00 target quantizer. If that doesn't work.. well, youtube's officially a douche bag.

Cortexian
November 29th, 2009, 04:35 PM
Xvid is horrible, and this is the same format as all my other HD videos on YouTube.

November 29th, 2009, 04:37 PM
Nah, it's the uploader that's a bitch.

I had the same problem with all of my HD videos (http://www.youtube.com/user/jrcap14). The upload would start with the progress bar and throbber, then never end. Luckily I have a good upload speed, so it finishes rather quickly and I can see the video getting processed under my videos. However, I can never add a title and description from the actual upload - it won't save. I have to click edit on the uploaded video to change the default one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa2OyLUlrfU It needs to process, and the quality will improve. It will be very Jpeg-y for the first few minutes

EDIT: ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS I left some stuff at the end, so there's a huge empty space at the end.

Whatever.. you can use it if you want, or use the original longer trailer. But if you used the cropped version just inform people that it ends at 7:06 please D;

In the meantime I'll attempt to fix it.. the render and reupload should be shorter. if it's too late before I'm done, don't worry about it.

yoyorast
November 29th, 2009, 05:52 PM
Since I'm still waiting for freelancer's you still have time, but I'll put this one informing people when it ends if free sends his first... But Freelancer? are you around?

But Mookz, I don't want to make you crazy but the sniping moment in your original version at 2:16 is still missing in the new version + the moment before the 3rd music start is now shorter and I prefered before... It's a personal opinion but I prefered your original version.. but it's up to you man..

Unfortunately there seems to be something wrong with YouTube or the way I'm rendering my video. I've tried three different formats for rendering, and two different browsers on two different PC's... No matter what I do this video won't seem to upload to YouTube, I'll continue trying different things but if I'm the only person without an entry avilable for the contest, don't wait for me. I'm literally stumped since I've exported videos in exactly the same manner from Adobe Premiere/Media Encoder before and they're uploaded perfectly fine to YouTube.

From what I've seen, I wouldn't vote for my video if it was going up against m00kz or Lateksi anyways. To much of my video shows that I was rushed in getting it finished, good luck to all the contestants!

Cool movies. For interest purposes only, NOT FOR JUDGING, I'll post my draft movie. At least people will see it, even if it never went anywhere. Also, the first part (and only complete part) was done tongue-in-cheek. The second half would have been the informative part- there are a few shots mixed in there, but a lot of it is blank.

There are only 5 videos and you're being picky about video length?

Just drop it, man. Damn. :ohdear:

Why so bitter?

Lateksi's and Ganon's looked beautiful, as did the rest.
Hard decision.

Actually I kind of agree with him. Ganon should have followed the rules, as should the other people have. I went through alot to make sure mine wasn't shorter than 4 minutes. I originally was going to have mine much shorter, but it was 30 seconds under so I went through the effort of adding to it in order to follow the contest rules. That's over 3 minutes I added to the video in an effort to follow the rules. The rules that were placed out as plain as day, that I followed to the letter.

They should have put more effort into making it longer and not bend the rules.

Now, imagine if someone who didn't follow the original rules of the contest wins. What does that say about the person who entered the contest, and how much they respect the rules of the contest? Should they really be allowed to enter the contest when they didn't even follow the rules?

I say we hold a poll on this.

Not trying to be mean, but most of your video was extended by killing pubbies. It's a promo, not a promo/montage...

@ DPedrioa, I just organized the ones posted in this thread. If you or yoyo have more videos, post them~

Well, I figured it worked for Bungie with their Betalicious montage, but I guess I won't have your vote.

At least I'm content in the fact that I know I followed and respected the rules and met the requirements of the contest. Much unlike the people who think it's okay to break the rules at the last second and demand the rules be changed so they can enter.

Alright I tried to keep it within the time limits and I probably could have done more with the editing, maybe have an After-effects titles sequence or something, but I think it works as it is.

So are people who didn't follow the original rules going to be in the contest or not? Or is that what this poll is going to be for?

Also I say we watch for new members voting, so we know people aren't just making alts.

You sure you dont want it to be part of the poll? I mean there are some symbolic vids you know.. Like a 30 sec one.. Wont win but can be judged.. If you want it to make part of the poll, can u upload to youtube like very quick?

Haha. All right, biggest issue is getting it on youtube quickly, my internet here on campus isn't that fast. Plas says he can help, and I'll post the link as soon as it's up.

^^ Link to mine.

I could of made it better (look at the date of the video, did not procrastinate at all) (also, I could of done HD, but I didn't because it takes too much time to buffer),
but when I upgraded to Windows 7, I was not able to use dev mode (until I later figured it out) and I still can't get rid of chat.

It's my first video with sony vegas effects. Yes, I won't win, and it's doubtful I will get 3rd place or better, but I still made it anyways.

Some of these are pretty cool but I don't think anyone here should get 250 and would be more wise to split it between a few places because some of the videos are pretty close and would congrats the people who did put a good amount fo effort into this. O god run on sentences. :gonk:

K guys, the countdown has ended, till now you cannot enter the contest anymore. I wanna thank you all very much for your participation. Sorry again for the last minute little rule change… I also feel sorry for those who worked hard on their vid and won't see the money… I should have given 3 prices (like I did for the old V1 contest) like 180$ for the 1st place, 40 for the 2nd and 30 for the 3rd for example… I know you told me that at the beginning Free… but too late now… or maybe the winner will be generous, who knows… please don't blame him if he's not…

I'm very pleased with the general quality of the Vids, each have their own strength and weakness… I will make some detailed critics soon… *don't hesitate to explain why you voted for one vid and give your thoughts on all the ids if you feel like it… always interesting…

K, now time to vote guys ! Please watch them all and elect the one you like best. But Take your time please, you have till the 6th of december (22:00 GMT) to vote. We'll only know the Winner at this time.
Here are the links with they author's names classified in alphabetical order :

Thanks again for the yoyoV2 visibility you gave on youtube guys, showing the map to it's best was what I wanted… Maybe the best of you win! Good luck to everyone !

I still have to check if polls are possible at halomaps, if yes, the modacity poll results will be added to the ones at halomaps, then we'll have our winner and classification.

Ps : due to the last minute rule change bout the lengh of the vids, plz try not to consider the lengh of the vids as your first criteria when judging... Thks ;)

:allears:

Anyways, I seriously have no idea why YouTube is being such a dick and refusing to accept my video. Yoyorast, do you remember that "intro" I showed you awhile ago on YouTube? That was rendered in exactly the same way so I'm completely stumped.

Edit: I finally got my video uploaded via FTP by the way, anyone interested can download it and view it, but I don't expect to be a contest entrant at this point (would be nice though).

Maybe someone with a better understanding of video codecs and encoding and such can download it and tell me YouTube won't accept it.

Edit: Finally got the video uploaded to YouTube after they finished site maintenance last night, coincidence? I think not!

Adobe After Effects for the intro scenes and Sony Vegas for the production editing from what I can tell.

IDK, I thought the effects in the beginning of Ganon's vid weren't mind-blowing or too great, though I know it was to sync the first video scene with the music.

I guess my complaints that it was YouTube's fault and not mine were completely valid, since it suddenly worked after they performed site maintenance last night!
