Kermit's First Film
« on: March 19, 2006, 01:07:49 AM »
Well, after a frekin 2 hours getting my stupid ftp server to work.  I finally got it.  Website will be done later if I feel like it.  I only bought it to get the ftp thingy.

Here is the low res video.  

1 week ago, I was flying with aldaris and we decided to wing up.  I then decided to try out fraps for the first time.  Then I said, hey, I should make a film of this.  So I did.  I had to get all the software, learn how to use it and finally put together this movie.  It's my first film so I'll use it as a learning experience.

Anyways, It's like an After Action Report, but in video format, not text, obviously

Enjoy:)

512x384  It's 16x9 resolution.  I had to encode it twice to get the file size down.

Probably the best film ever done so far , but needs more action. Musciac was great voices need to be pumped up a bit.

Argh, I figured out that my Center Channel was turned up more than the rest of my audio channels.  After I normalized it, I can hear that the vox is low.  I'm re rendering it tonight.  I'll re encode it tomorrow morning and then spend an hour uploading it again.  Original link should work.  Link might not work during the upload process.  Thanks for viewing my film and letting me know about the low audio.

If ya already downloaded it. Just turn up your center channel


BTW, NICE avatar Betty :)

GREAT MOVIE Kermit!!! >>S<<


I really loved it. TopGun for TBMs - hehe. And nice formation takeoffs/landings there.


Just one tiny mistake: It was definitly CV 13 and A1, not C105/A25 ;) :t *ducks and runs*


Thanks for making and sharing that.

The landings were done by Ren, followed by gopher? golfer? I forgot how to spell his name :)

also the torpedo drops were done by them.

In the actual mission, me and aldaris tried to hit that cv twice.  we died each time:)  but it's my movie and i can change the ending to my liking.

Only took an hour to edit sound for 5.1 surround sound.

Thanks for watching Schatzi

zOMFG 182 mb.

Edit: Just watched it. Very creative. The only thing I can say is that at 7:25 minutes, it should be alot smaller than 191 megs unzipped. What did you use to render this?

Well, it took two tries for me. The first time download just froze at 30%.... second try came through clean. I guess i got timed out on the server or something.....

Window encoder 9.0

VBR quality 100 for video
Its the sound that hurts me.   Audio is 128kbps 44khz sample rate for 6 channels of audio.

Original file is 237MB.  I then rendered it in a stand alone encoder by windows  to 512x384 4:3 ratio and just used anamophic pixels to get 16x9
I then zipped it to prevent people from not saving and just clicking on link.  zip file does not help reduce size at all. :(
