OK OK! you guys will get an eye-friendlier version then

I rendered the video again, didn't touch the saturation this time, only set a little more contrast and adjusted the brightness. so the look is quite close to the original lfs graphics (apart from the reflections). another youtube version will not be added.

I'll add screenshots for comparison to the first post, then you can decide what looks better and download the version you like best. uploading takes some more time, going to add the download link as soon as possible. (EDIT: done)

thanks for the comments, guys! feels like it was worth all the work now

good video, both the edititing and the drifting (as far as I can judge that ) look really professional. I've never been a fan of drift videos in general but this one will definitely follow the few drift videos I like and go straight into my "LFS videos"-folder!

used to go to gym for more than 4 years, up to 6 times a week... no time for that anymore, now I'm trying to go running 3 times a week and do a little home workout, also three times a week.

ah and some sporadic biking, swimming and skating, depends on the weather and how much spare time I got.

thank you guys for the feedack!

Quote from [SWE]RE :

I didn't like the oversaturation, the colors are too strong imo. I've did that "mistake" in some of my movies as well, after that I prefer softer colors if you know what I mean by that.

yea I was wondering too, if it was too much... I certainly like it like that (maybe I got weird screen settings also!?) but I know that it's not everybody's cup of tea (got criticism about it on a previous movie as well). but also I got criticism for a "boring look" when leaving the colours close to the original LFS colours, hard to find the right balance

heya, here's my latest lfs video, Moments Like This!


- version 1 (high saturation):

download, 150.9 MB

streaming
YouTube (HQ-version recommended)


- version 2 (lower saturation):

special thanks go to Lynce for offering the Revolution Pack, I used the reflections addon and tyre thread patterns in this video to give it a different look.

comments and ratings are welcome, enjoy the video!


NOTE: I rendered a second version (less saturation) for those of you who really didn't like the colours in my first version. this time the colours look quite much like they do in-game, for comparison have a look at those screenshots:

version 1:


version 2:

awsome, found nothing to complain about! mixing the commentatory with such kind of movie works great, haven't seen that often so far

great stuff, really nice work! not a fan of (long) credits, but that's just my personal taste. glad to see the movies section is still alive

hardstyle :lovies3d: .. I often thought about using a hardstyle track in one of my movies, too. but then I usually chose something community-friendlier

for my taste the video is way too long, I'd recommend you to concentrate on the action parts next time. but nicely done anyway

I like the bbs rims too, but I think they fit better to the golf 3. also I've always been into the audi rs rims, and since I can't afford a proper audi, the golf will have to wear them some day

about car meets - never been a fan of those, probably I'd have to change a lot more things to identify with a car and feel like showing it off. and when seeing VW meets on tv, I seriously doubt if I'd ever want to go there :P

Quote from Bawbag :

Nice, superclean white, winter tyres on it atm? Will look beautiful with some alloys.

Try the 1.4.... , Drove a '98 1.4 polo 16v, 100bhp......rather jelous when I got back into my heap.

unfortunately those are not the winter tyres .. the car was dad's former company car and we bought it with the summer and winter tyres for quite cheap. probably I won't buy proper rims and new tyres before the summer tyres are worn out. although I'd really love to have the audi rs rims (or at least some cheaper fakes), so it would look like this.

and yea I actually did drive the 1.4 golf, too. feels a bit lazy, but so what, still a nice car imo

Quote from Bawbag :

What engine?

1.6l gasoline (74kw/101bhp) .. not that much, but enough for a poor student

before that I was driving a 60 bhp polo... felt more than it actually was, due to the little weight

Quote from felplacerad :

However, Jens released the 3-year anniversary movie already in March, thinking that our birthday was in April. That's probably why it might appear as if our birthday was some time ago.

yup I finished that movie so early because I knew I won't have time for it later. and once a movie is finished, it's hard to keep it for yourself for a few months (comments in the movies thread are still welcome, by the way! )

but yea we better stick with the 03.06. I'd say, since we've now officially celebrated our birthday three times on that date.

and thanks for all the congratulations, a really nice gesture!

Quote from DevilDare :

technobase.fm

if you like the genre they play, you could also try t4e.dj (aka www.techno4ever.net)

np: Icon - Right Now (Club Mix)

Quote from zeugnimod :

I liked this a lot.

I still do today, actually.

aaah mambo no. 5 .. back then I bought the CD..

btw, wondering if Das Modul is/was known anywhere else but in germany?
this one didn't make it around the world either, I suppose

woah awsome stuff..

perhaps I've missed it, but I think Gala - Freed from Desire hasn't been mentioned yet?
or what about sylver:
Forgiven, Turn the Tide, In Your Eyes

otherwise I gotta agree on Mr Vain, What is Love, Rhythm is a Dancer, No Limit and all that lovely stuff.. 90's eurodance ftw

..and there's Jan Wayne - Because the Night which meant and still means a lot to me

Quote from e2mustang :

do you have fear fm hardstyle top 40 may already? i cant find it

you got a pm

DJ Jago vs. Sej - Surrender (Springstil Remix Edit)

Quote from DevilDare :

Thanks!! Was looking for a good radio to listen to, great tunes Too bad DJ speaks in German

sorry for the djs speaking german
glad you two like the stream, though

np: Josh & Wesz - Like Thiz (Original Mix)

Quote from BastianB :

David Guetta - Love is Gone

someone knows a good internet radio channel for house music like this ?

maybe housetime.fm is worth a try too.. sometimes they play good house music and sometimes it's just useless, depends on the dj

now listening to: dj coone - the return
(not on that stream, though :P)

Quote from 1993weeman :

Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze

if you don't like that song you deserve to be shot in the head

if I claimed that for the songs that I like, there wouldn't be many people left on earth

D-Block & S-Te-Fan - Music Made Addict

Quote from LFSn00b :

What happened to the other topic? It had some nice overlays i couldve used

this one?

Quote from [SWE]RE :

I'm just curious if you guys succeeded in viewing the downloadable version of the vid? I need to know if the latest version of VLC (for example) will fix this issue.

just dl'ed the latest version, works fine now

I love the head-to-head videos, really.. the download (that took 6 hours, btw) was well worth it once again. go on like that!

nice one!

a lot of action and drama, imo the length is just perfect for such a video. the effects in the beginning and the music matched quite nicely also.

just one question, what video codec do you use? I downloaded the video but only the sound layer works, must be the same problem that Austin has. and the youtube HD version is laggy for me (which is a general problem and probably not related to your video), but no problems with the aspect ratio this time
