I couldn't put it on stage6 because rendering it with DivX codec did not really work

Quote from Razvan :

question... whats the name of the sound track? Thanks in advance

Clint Mansell - Lux Aeterna (Orchestral Version)
the soundtrack of "Requiem for a Dream"

Quote from [d9] :

version two better! im looking forward to version three!!!

gotta disappoint you, I probably won't bother recording and editing again, at least not for this video

I updated the video, please scroll up to the first post. it's not a new video so I did not open a new thread, but there are some bigger changes - please watch the video (again), even if you already watched the first version!

thanks

I think the race_s setup is quite fine then, maybe just lower the brakeforce to ~900Nm if you use mouse. that's not meant to be a funny answer, but in my opinion it is better to keep using that setup until you drive 1:25s or faster - instead of switching to random setups every now and then, hoping to find big improvements within one lap.

I don't upload the setup I use since it is not my own one, but I recommend you to improve your racing line and braking points before testing thousands of setups

at www.lfsworld.net you can download XRT/BL1 hotlaps (S2 Hotlaps -> Hotlap charts -> XRT; click at the laptime you want to watch, save it in your lfs folder /data/spr) and watch them onboard (V to switch view) if you want to work on your racing line - good luck!

and if my answer doesn't help you, on team inferno's setup field you find some setups

Quote from TiJay :

Exciting movie, which version of Lux Aeterna was that?

the orchestral version it is, 6:34 minutes long - I cut it not to produce an endless long and boring video

Quote from spikee :

i missed some engine sounds for instance at the onboard views.

Sounds are planned for the next one again
But this time I wasn't motivated to turn off all my windows sounds because recording the scenes took quite some time since I used some more scenes than usually. Plus my great equipment always gives me a challenge whenever I wanna combine LFS sounds with music and then make it fit to the frame rate of the movie

Quote :

What about the following: You write a "storyboard" and some of us are your actors, youre the director. Hehe, lots of the above gentlemen could produce nice maneuvers in a row if they know exactly when to do what. Some Teamspeak stuff should make it easy to direct us.

As I mentioned above I prefered using the real-racing-scenes for videos, nothing "faked". But with some more racers it could be a try worth and lead to an interesting result for sure .. And probably there are some guys out there who would give it a try with us
But I think I have to delay everything like this to my autumn- or even christmas-holidays, school is keeping me busy at the moment. This video was a one-weekend-project

Quote from chanoman315 :

anyone knows the name of the song?
thanks in advance

I found it as the soundtrack of "Requiem for a Dream" by Clint Mansell

Quote from trucky :

only thing you would have to add that can be advertisment mre cars... here is only few cars and in LFS is much more cars.

yes noticed that too .. the problem is I don't have interesting replays with all cars which include nice scenes. and I didn't want to start "posing" with all the other cars because I prefer the real racing scenes, so I had to use scenes of my favorite combo predominantly

Quote from The Very End :

But in the future you maybe upload it there? ;P

For me? :love:

... for you I'd do everything
uhm let's see what I can do, but I don't want to promise

thx for the quick comments already!

Quote from The Very End :

Please, not youtube, use http://stage6.divx.com/.
Thank you

I'll maybe register there and upload it later this week, but I think most people unfortunately don't use stage6 yet because downloading the video as .avi usually is faster than waiting until stage6 has finished buffering (at least that's what I experienced when using it)

/!\ NEW VERSION AVAILABLE /!\

I worked my video over again, trying to incorporate solutions for most of your criticism. Changelog:

- smoother scenes in the beginning
- nearly all cars are featured now (although XRT/BL1 scenes still predominate)
- updated lfs logo at the end
- more racing
- less cars without skins
- half of the file size, same quality

I won't work it over again but I know the video is not perfect - so please post your opinions and suggestions, both positive and negative ones

this.... is quite different from most videos I've seen yet

very entertaining! good video, marko

happy birthday to us!
lovely team, I must say

Quote from Moonclaw :

In the future use camera smoothing, it's there for a reason.

I'm sure it is

I'll try to improve it in my next one, I'm not so experienced in making videos yet. so thanks for this constructive critis

Quote from kurent :

I just realized Zefram had the worse luck

yea I think he would have scored a nice result otherwise
in sprint race b9's mouse was buggy (according to b9..) .. so he braked a bit late

and that tyre in the long race hit Lont, too, that's hard to see in the movie

however, I think we should arrange such an event again - let's get d9 and co buy a license and do it in S2. with more than 8 racers and a few spectators maybe

thx for the quick comments!

Quote from Riders Motion :

Nice vid, but what a dirty manoeuvre from the white/red XRT to the white/blue one at near the arrive line

yea that move was a bit uncareful, but it was by mistake and he said sorry for it immediately

I made a video about the event, but I thought it's more logical to post it in the "movies"-section, so check this

I sat down and turned some scenes of the event Pink Night (for info visit this) into a video, to share some impressions.

I strongly recommend to watch the avi instead of using youtube

Hello, may anybody please help me and render my XRT skin?

I'd be glad if so

Finally I found some time to turn a replay from February into a movie. A close race with ChesNos (XRT, BL GP). It's a 5 lap race, all scenes are shown in chronological order.

I turned my last OLFSL race into a little video, mainly showing me and my team mate filur. At the end it's me timing out because of connection problems.
