The remastered version of –Impressions for the Space Cowboy-

-GfN- · Post by **-GfN-** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 8:25 am

Welcome!

Eventually, I completed the remake of my first vid "Impressions for the Space Cowboy“: About 2.5 months and 110 hours in the making, I’ve gone through several hardships and joys and was but gifted with a VAST improvement in terms of video editing and, of course, an awesome result.
A lot of people may now ask, why a remake is neccessary.
Well, as a matter of fact, the first version suffered under extreme fansub issues such as pixellations, subtitles and non-fluidness. Minor Synch errors occured as well, whereas I did the video in some kind of rush since I had to edit against time.
The result was obvious: Some random scenes appeared, the outro was exxageratedly long and the concept wasn't thouroughly completed.
All these mistakes can be considered as gone by now, while I still had the time to add further elements such as two-layer Synch, decent (and one great) effects plus a wonderful flow.
The song remains unchanged: The Old Dead Tree’s "This is no Farewell“ still serves as the perfect soundtrack.
Finally, my thanks go out to jubjub2, warheart, derekimga and trfanatic for support and help (special thanks to warheart and jubby), Clemens Amler and Jannek Likus (alias Irenicus) for Beta-testing, to Jophel Stang for the upload and to all who encouraged me to proceed (you know who you are).

What remains unsaid is: Enjoy the vid and goodbye for now!

Hehe, well it looks way better than the original but I think we overdid the deen filter a bit altough I can't tell for sure since I don't know the quality of the actual source. I don't really know how you needed 80 hours for the remake since the makeup is pretty simple only cut's n' fades but I see some sense behind the sceneselection so it's a decent video. You have potential you should keep things up and work a bit on your timing and maybe experiment with a few effects altough I doubt Magix has that much but still it'd be a good idea. Maybe you should try something more actiony next time (DT for example

). If you're in need of any kind just catch me on ICQ again

yay! thanks, warheart!
the 80 hours were spent in wasting ages for solving probs in magix, being extremely neatpicky when it comes to timings and scene selection and alone 2hours for my first complex effect

the next will be an action/horror amv shortie, just to test my abilities with the new programme (ulead) - and there'll be a lot of effects...

and, yeah, for the dt-project: this will be my third (real) amv and masterpiece, but you'll have to wait until the end of the summer holidays

sry for the double post, but I have to draw an overview:

star avg: 3.85
op avg: 8.8 (raw)

voices:
trfanatic: "This one goes right into the favorites and playlist!!!"

jubjub2: "wow wow wow wow wow! That was a MAJOR improvement on the original! You have been able to learn so much in such a short time! *cheers!* The only thing (and it's minor... very minor) is aspect ratio. But that's about it! Looks great, the sync was great, and overall a nice handling of an instrumental. You kept it interesting and cohesive. Great work! ~Jubs"

scancase: "The song works well with bebop and the editing is sublime. "

windyroller: "Overall, I like it.

*thumb up*"

tormentor: "I like your video, since it has a certain mood. Furthermore is it compressed well and is synced in a nice way."

well, for the first real video, that is definitely awesome...but more have to watch it!
