Fortress Forever by WaKKa

It's been a while since I played with video editing software and I have only started playing FF this week, but some great pickups have been had and so I decided to make a sketchy/rough/experiment.

YouTube

With how much I am enjoying FF this probably won't be my last movie, sorry guys

PartialSchism · 08-03-2009, 11:21 PM

You should be sorry.

Desyphur · 08-04-2009, 02:41 AM

Not bad man. Better than anything I could do.

GeoKill-----> · 08-04-2009, 05:15 AM

That was nice... and trippy

Paft · 08-04-2009, 07:43 AM

It did feel "sketchy/rough" but indeed a little trippyish and a laugh. Music made it funny.

Encourages me to do one. Never do a video anything ever.

rezz0r · 08-04-2009, 09:09 AM

May I ask some technical stuff about this video? What compression did you use for that video and how big is the video file for HD?

Good video.

wakka · 08-04-2009, 01:47 PM

Compression is WMV, 6Mb (which allows for 30fps). The quality can easily be alot better but I wasnt for wasting time with "startmovie" for such a rushed scratchy project so I just used 60FPS fraps... good enough for Youtube. Took me about an hour and I am addicted to Justice so it was fun to make!

Oh and it is 87Mb

Nice

Did you use VirtualDub? Because I usually do this:

See some of my videos (not my gameplay demos but FF videos):

Somehow youtube always messes up the quality

You sure you are following all the guidelines

hm, this made me thinking:

Quote:

Frame Rate

The video frame-rate should be the same as the original where possible - up-sampling from a 24fps original can cause judder artifacts for example. For film sources a 24 fps or 25 fps progressive master yields the best results while videos that have had a re-sampling transfer process applied - such as Telecine pulldown - often result in a lower quality video.

I think I have some testing to do here. I also just read that videos can be no larger than 2GB and no more than 10 minutes in length. I thought it was 1 GB.

Ok...

wakka · 08-05-2009, 01:28 PM

I go from in-game to fraps to sony video vegas then render. so that's 60fps high quality to 30fps high quality, not much room for loss as something I have always made sure when rendering is that the output is a ratio of the input, i.e 30fps = half 60fps. If you want really high quality you would be better watching CSS movie how-to's as they really do reach the pinnacle of movie quality. I would recommend the rpk trailer as a sample of what can be obtained.

However, I am far from a rendering master... I have not made a movie in over 2years so I am sure someone else will prove more useful in this topic.

traxamillion · 08-22-2009, 06:02 AM

very nice editing on the avi!

moosh · 08-22-2009, 04:44 PM

Nice video. How'd you do the sparkly effects and what's the name of the song?

wakka · 08-31-2009, 05:30 PM

cheers, the first song is by pendulum and the second is "justice - newjack" the sparkly effects are just standard filters within sony vegas! The ones right at the end are only in vegas 9 as far as i know, cant remember off the top of my head unfortunately

Mase · 08-31-2009, 09:54 PM

Wakka takes control ! Nice movie m8 !

Lt Llama · 09-10-2009, 08:14 AM

This film made me chuckle, a feel good FF movie. I really liked the sync between music and cuts, and the tempo changes, and the slomo parts. I would be a die hard fan if you kept developing this style of editing.

tripleS!X · 09-10-2009, 05:56 PM

wakka that was pretty cool

its funny cuz i heard the begging to slam and had plans to use that song in a future avi. nice job.
