Title: EKOTH film
Post by: jodgi on March 21, 2005, 04:25:03 AM

I figured I'd throw myself into this new AH film craze, so I made a film during the last European King Of The Hill.

It's a straightforward film, but it offers a twist; It was made using "external" movie capture while in the CM eye mode. It has a different feel since the "camera" is not attached to any plane.

Anyway, the soundtrack is worth it if you think my filmmaking sucks ;)

Grab the film  HERE. (http://www.mercair.net/films/ekoth.wmv)

What do I have to do to get noticed?
Maybe my next film should show some skin?

would be cool if planes had icons. they're hard to see for one, and its also fun for the memory of the engagements. otherwise it nice :)

I know Blue, but I wanted a clean film and i deliberately filmed with icons off.

I knew the title for Muse, but i just couldn't remember the one form supergrass.

What songs are you gonna put on the next one?  Kings of Leon, Electric six, Franz ferdinand or maybe some white stripes(no hints;) )  should you make another film.:)

did you make this in god view with video going out to a VCR or DV cam recording the event in real time?  The movement of the planes is much smoother than most aces high film files.

best camera work i have seen for a long time, once you master this aproach and mix it with traditional techniques/ compositions i think you will have some really masterfully crafted films, best of luck in future work, one heck of a start for sure!  nice choice of music as well.

hopefully we will never see the stiff "stuck camera" work that was common in early ah movies, aka the comercial.  

hat views for internal shots are pretty weak as well.

dynamic camera work like this really brings you into it.

It was made in CM god mode (isn't that what it is called?) and using FRAPS as movie capture in real time.

Glad you liked it!

Nice video. How do you get CM god mode?

Post by: Sancho on March 23, 2005, 09:51:16 PM

I think you have to be a CM. ;)

I don't believe it works in Film Editor.  I hope HT would consider coading it though.  Also, if there could be an option for higher resolution films... by that I mean more data to make the planes move smoother in film like they do in live games.  Since Jodgi captured his footage in a live game, notice how much smoother the planes fly than in most films.

Nice work with this film. :aok

It' disabled for the most, but the KOTH event has it enabled so that ppl can view the action.
