FINAL VERSION POSTED ON MXO

[Ash]

Wickedly sick video Broin!!  Although I wish I were actually IN the damn thing

It's the cutting room floor for me I suppose.  

If you haven't trashed them already could you post some of the scenes you shot but didn't use in the video?

I think the best thing about all of the FA videos is they make people think "How did they do that?"  I remember thinking it when watching the original FA video for the first time, then we raised a few eyebrows with the Halloween video.  I said it yesterday and I'll say it again, if SOE doesn't consider this video, then their expectations are entirely too high.

As for the slow motion "flying angels" scene, I think that is one that should be kept very much under the fedora.  It was a unique opportunity that we were fortunate enough to be able to take advantage of.  If too many of Broin's filming secrets get out in the open, then they will become common-place, and will lose their luster.  That and it will become increasingly difficult to find ways to make any other videos stand out among the rest.

I'm having a hard time concentrating at work because I keep playing this video over and over in my head!

Arch, this is just the rough draft. He will be adding in our tittle and I imagine a more smoothed ending for the final cut.

I have also hosted this on my WEB/FTP server.

(you will have to add .wmv to the filename after you download. I did this so I could DL it at work.) Under FTP check the FAWeb folder.

Yeah I don't tell anyone anything on how we get some of our shots...  

I have recieved several /t's from other friendly factions and people I know in game that I rely on for information about how we do things.  I simply chalk it up as Faction info that can't be given out.  I figure I/we spend alot of time in game searching out locations and figuring out how to do what we want.  There is no sense in giving someone a let up on us.  Do the work reap the rewards

Destyn we have never used subtitles or credits except for the final follow the angel at the end. That will be included on the final cut.

Also the version you put on your server keep in mind is not final. Do not share it with anyone outside the faction. Make sure it gets overridden when the new version comes out later today.

Never have maybe, doesn't make it easier to understand  Just thinking about the other vids I've seen, they usually have a narrative.

Yes I will of course update with the next version, it's only there to help share bandwidth.  Directory browsing isn't available there anyway so users would have to be specifically looking for the file.  If you wish I can place it in a password protected folder though...?

I love the flying part, there were 2 parts near the end of the fighting were you can tell you clipped out a few seconds of film maybe you can find a way to smooth those out, I will say the time of those parts  when i get back to make posts and the end if really abrupt that is all for now. Otherwise 5 stars for you!

i WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE WHAT bROIN CAN DO WITH THE CAMERA THING IF WE CAN GET IT TO WORK ON HIS COMPUTER. i'VE GOTTEN SOME VERY UNIQUE SHOTS WITH IT, AS i'VE MENTIONED MANY TIMES BEFORE.

aND YES, PLEASE KEEP HUSH ABOUT SECRETS. wE DON'T HAVE MANY, BUT AM PROUD OF THE ONES WE KNOW.

[Fuse]

Why is the file still insanely huge? 4 min = 144 MB. I guess it's for the high res?

<===== Downloading at 13.5 kb/s. 2 hours 18 minutes and counting.... *:bangs head on wall:*

Yeah on the size it was the best I could do to get it all in with good quality and still be able to compile it without the system crashing.  It started out as 174 megs and at one time I thought I had it down to about 90 but it kept crashing.  I chose a different codex and it worked.  I literally have spent since 5 pm yesterday trying to get this to work and finally got it worked out at about 5pm today, 12 hours.  I have only got like 6 hours sleep in the past 72 hours.

On another note I'd like to say thanks to everyone who participated and helped in making the movie.  There were tons of great shots and scenes that just didn't make it in, for various reasons.  Either the light didn't match, the scene didn't flow right, etc.  The rule of thumb for me is that for every second of actual photage that makes it in I shoot about 10 or sometimes alot more  Megs of photage.  The total for this film on hard drive space for photage is 62 Gigs out of 144 MB of the final version...  

Again a big thanks to everyone and I hope you all enjoy how it came out...  We will see if SOE likes it in a few days.  Keep your fingers crossed
