Decided to make a slight amendment to my requirements. I realized that my idea for the intro is such that I really don't require video footage from everyone. That being the case, I'm negating my request for it.

Now, only sayde requires footage from each of you, and the deadline is creeping up very quickly for that.

For those of you who had already sent me something, thank you. I know for sure that there's still a purpose for one or two of the clips that I received, but it will be easier if I just seek out the rest of what I'm looking for myself.

Thanks again, and I hope you're all cracking away at this. ^_^

is there an ftp we can use for this? my internet isn't too flash hot on those upload sites.

Also if i send a fraps video is that okay? THey're much smaller then Huffys and they're as good as the quality can possibly be - the only drawback is you have to own the fraps codec which can be downlaoded for free at fraps.com - but still.

Sorry, I'm not fancy enough for FTP. :(

Alternatively, if you have troubles uploading huge files, you can split the video into smaller parts and upload it one piece at a time. The File Splitter is a good way of doing this. Just upload each part and then .zip/.rar the .exe with the last part you send and the video can be easily reconstructed by whoever you send it to.

Also... about FRAPS... if you're talking about the lossless footage that you're sending to sayde, then you'll have to check with him. Updates on this thread are sporadic now, so you'll probably want to PM him to get his attention.

As for me... I downloaded a trial of FRAPS some time ago, so the codec is still floating around on my compy. I haven't actually used it (the codec or the program), so I couldn't tell you much beyond that.

Hope that helped a little.

As long as you don't pick a game someone else has, I'm cool with it. We're still early enough in the project to make some changes.

What would you like to switch it to?

As long as it's still relatively easy to obtain the codec and as long as I can load it into virtual dub mod, you can use whatever codec you want.

For the record, despite the fact that I may rarely post anything, I check this topic daily. If you have questions for me, feel free to post them here or through pm. Either way, you're questions will most likely not go overlooked.

I check it each day too. Okay well tongiht i'll begin uploading my files. I'm pretty sure they work in V-dub as i think i chopped 'em up in there.
If there's any problems i'll just have to deal with the 250mb lossies

I'm also slightly tempted to change to "S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Shadow Of Chernobyl" because i recently hacked out all of the videos from the game and the cgi is just phenomenal!
It would also fit my song nicely too.

Alrighty. That's okay if you want to change - just make sure to let me know so that I can keep the information correct and up to date.

The only other thing I ask is that you make sure sayde gets the footage he needs for the outro. That's important, or we're going to have shoddy looking credits, which I'm sure nobody wants.

Oh, speaking of which... it's embarrassing to be saying this myself after what I just said, but sayde, I'll be late turning in my clip, because I'm not quite through rendering all of the footage yet. I'll be almost completely free tomorrow, so I'll do my best to hop to it then.

HAY TAKE REMEMBER THAT MEP YOU SIGNED UP FOR?


So um. An update from me, here. My track is about halfway done, the beta that I posted . . . however long ago has been tweaked and IMO looks better. Due to a slight problem involving the location of my hard drive (a.k.a. it is temporarily misplaced), I won't have a beta/lossless track clip for Sayde tonight, as I'm sure it's the deadline, but I will do my best to render one overnight and have something up by tomorrow.

Classes recently finished, I'll probably have my track finished in the near future if I can get to it and concentrate.

And find my hard drive.

You're not the only person who'll be handing in their footage late. No need to feel embarrassed.
Anyways, as of today, (May 1st) these are the following people I need footage from.

-dj
-aerialesque
-inthesto
-Arkada
-IcyCloud
-bluetrain
-OropherZero
-AMV4000

To those of you who let me know beforehand that you'll be late w/ your submissions, I thank you. To those who didn't, well please either get 10 seconds of footage done soon, upload some footage from your game for me to use instead, or at the very least, send me a pm stating when I can expect something from you.

=S Sayde, a little confused. That beta that I posted a while ago was XviD compressed (I'm fairly certain) and thus looks horrid. I do hope that's not what you plan on using in your credits >.> Not to mention the track has changed slightly since then.

Argh, being banned and schoolwork has kept be behind on this projec.

Sayde, I'll upload some footage for you later today. But first, this paper needs to be written, and I'm gonna have to sleep off the excessive grump.

It should'nt matter believe it or not.
-My idea for the credits requires I shrink the resolution down a noticable amount on each amv. So even if the footage quality of your amv isn't all the impressive, it should look just fine regardless.
.
-I also didn't care whether or not you made adjustments to your footage after I got your beta. All I care about is just having something to work with.

Case in point, if you have some more footage you'd like me to use instead, send it my way. If you don't get around to it Take, then don't worry about it. Because as far as I'm concerned, I've got your 10 seconds of footage already.

btw, thanks for the heads up inthesto.
