The 30 second club April 2008
« on: April 03, 2008, 09:18:43 AM »
The 30 Second Club -- April 2008

The rules: Edit a video/film using AH footage, music, effects, whatever you want. It must be 30 seconds. This includes any fades to and from black.

You need to host the video so it can be viewed online or downloaded for viewing. No .AHF files. The video should be in a common format (avi, wmv, mpg, etc) so that most folks can view it without problems.

There are no rules on what kind of footage you can include, but note that 30 seconds is ample time to create a short story (ask anybody who's taken a 3D animation class!), and you are encouraged to come up with a story to tell in this time. Simply showing 30 seconds of a dogfight will work, but it might not be very entertaining.

The intent is to create new content in the month's time alotted for each deadline. Entries should be new creations, not previous releases. Naturally, if an entry has not been seen in completed form, it can be entered (say an entry from March isn't done, it could be finished and submitted for April's contest), but let us not abuse this good-faith rule to submit clips from many years back.

Deadline is midnight the last day of the month, your local time.

Post your discussions and submissions in this thread!

So far Batfink's got an April submission done:

real footage?

I'm working on mine. Have it planned out and and looking for sound files I want to include. I have an interesting idea. Next month I'll shoot for a "realistic" bit of film, but this one's going to be more tongue in cheek.


EDIT: Whoops, found a couple more, I thought they were for last month initially til I double checked!

all films posted so far, very cool stuff, zonix, try running FSautostart while you record with fraps, it clears up alot of errors as AH film renders on screen. don't know if thats the problem but i get that alot also, totally ruins some great shots, love the 109's great job.

crodah, excelent as always, :salute

Batty, awsum stuff  :salute

jerkins very cool idea, should try useing subtitles that more fit the era and style of a german film from the time, but looks awsum love the music.  :salute

Thank you yanksfan for tip but this error appeared after exporting with Premier Pro. I think I stressed my pc to much during this process. But I will try it anyways. Maybe I can squeeze a bit more quality.

Still waiting for some more vids. Only 3 days to go.  :salute

I'll be getting mine ready tonight. I should have it done. I've got it planned out and all that stuff, just a matter of capturing (tonight) and editing (tomorrow night). Oh, and I need to download a couple of sound files, but I don't think that'll be hard for what I have in mind.

Spent the evening pulling fraps clips and gathering all my sound and video files into one directory. Tomorrow I'll edit together. It's been a busy 2 weeks (I planned to start 2 weeks ago! Silly me!). I might be toeing the deadline. We'll see.
