BF2S Forums Go Go Solo - My first vid...

Well done.

It's your first video with vegas. I made min 1 day ago (link is in my sig)

The music sucks but the rest is good.

Upload to rapidshare, that way you can stream and download from the same place. I'll wait for a non youtube version before I watch it.

It was pretty good, at least you streamed it so people don't need to download.

Is that the Matrix theme?

you're style of gunning is sketchy...

Easy shots, any decent gunner or solo pilot could take you out no trouble at all. Not bad with the video though.

Twas k, +1 for the effort.

Though as a general tip, when its 2 v 1. You should start to roll, switch to TV, shoot, and then quickly go back to piolot - that way you don't just sit there like a lemon whil you TV - making you a nice easy target.

PS

"you know, you can fix the hitbox...

go see this file-> C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Settings and open ''Usersettings.con''

now change ''SettingsManager.floatSet GSDefaultLatencyCompensation 0.100000''

make the 0.100000 as your ping. example i have a ping of 25/30 so i make it like 0.030000 this mean that i have a ping of 25/30"


o.O

Thanks to all for the honest criticism.

To the following : Ajax, lxcpikiman and expecially emil_the_whatever (2/10) as harsh as your criticism is, i thank you for it.

Back to the drawing board then...

(BTW, our servers don't have BR and i can't FRAPS 20mins of footage (20GB vid file). That and the fact that the vid took me about 2 months to make almost make it quite sad to hear such things.)

Anyways, i did ask, and i did receive. For those of you saying it sucked, pls PM me your vid. The shots were all easy? Ok. Thanks. IMHO, about 20% of the shots were quite easy (esp the hitbox ones and the jet sideprofiled)


Maybe the lack of cool effects and high quality make it look like shit. Someone direct me to a nice Vegas 7 guide please...


Thanks again

At least it was FRAPS first person - please NEVER use battle recorded I (at least) HATE IT!

Hey everyone.

After much anticipation ( )  i have finally released my first BF2 video.

Sony Vegas is not a very easy program to learn. Especially if you have zero video editing experience.
That being said, i have really put a lot of effort into getting this vid done.

Getting a chopper alone to solo is one thing, but then FRAPSing every shot and trying to find the best ones whilst trying not to rip my hair out is also quite a challenge

Compression is also a big problem (thus the swak quality). The original, crystal clear version is 677 MB...
And the only compression i could seem to use was Window Movie Maker.
That, combined with YouTube, really eats the quality.
For that i am sorry.

Please feel free to leave constructive comments and/or advice.
Do not judge the vid on the quality please....

If enough people watch the vid, i will find somewhere to upload a better quality version.

So without further adue, here it is :

Go Go Solo

Enjoy! 

Personally I didint like it all average shots for me get fast slides and crazy rolls then its fun and the music was insanely annoying 1+ for effort tho.

Okay I'm not an expert at making videos, as my current computer isn't good enough for fraps (buying new soon). But I can give you links to some really good videos, that i would have given from 7 up to 10, I think you can learn really much from them! (Just PM me)

And lately I maybe wasn't giving you criticism that was very constructive... I said what was bad, but well here's some tips of what to do better:

- As you might have understand now, not many liked the music.
- Also one of the really good things about videos, is when they are syncronized with the music, this can even make bad music better in some way ( ), this means: Try keep the footage going in the same speed as the music! If there's any effects in the music, you can try set something special or maybe some effects at that moment, syncronized with the music effect of course. etc. (Look closely for this in the videos I give you link to), Also if you put on a new song you can do a change in scene, like new map, or from helo to infing etc.
- Try mixing a bit... don't have only you shooting down helo's etc. try put in some other shots, maybe even stunts, whatever you find to spice it a bit up

Hope this can help you, and I really recommend you PM me

Edit; upload it to filefront next time much higher quality stream than youtube + download

Bad music but pretty good movie for the most part.
