This replay was just too good to keep to myself. I didn't do any special editing aside from some level balancing, although I may substitute some external views into the video in the near future. However, this content needs no special editing as the action simply speaks for itself and had me on the edge of my chair urging Evo on

I used an on-board cam for the whole race, which I find gives good continuity.

Note the film ends abruptly near the end of lap 6 due to youtube content length limitations. for the curious, here is a synopsis of the final moments of Evo's race:

-krikey! not on the grass again.. phew! (end of youtube vid)

-darn these melted tires don't seem to keep the car straight

-thank god, the finish line, phew

...... :eek: WHAAAA??! there's still a lap???

haha! classic!


Hope you like it :hyper:

Hah, what kind of a tactic is that first pass;

Force the guy infront of you to go wide by pushing him and then take the inside lane to pass him? lol is that how you race on ctra servers?

Video was boring, sound was so quiet I didnt even hear anything. You should have done some editing.

I am thinking the stress of the moment led to some unwilling contact.. at least that's what I choose to believe Actually I think those two know each other and race a hard style like that to make it interesting but that's just speculation. Maybe Evo or Smokey would care to comment?

It's worth noting that at the end of the replay, Evo apologizes for nudging Teedot as they approach the first chicane for the 'final' time but that's racing and I believe this clip shows some of the finest action you can get.


Honestly I'm not into rock'n'roll videos that have about 60 cutscenes in 20 seconds. I mean, I envy the vision, talent and dedication that people have to make videos like that (:headbang::rock_band) I just don't share the desire to watch them over and over.

:hidesbehi

You do wise in hiding :hide:

Anyway, good video but a bit borring in the length

hmm, would be nice not to use situation like that in your own advantage, accident or not -> Easy to say 'oh sorry about that' and make another one on purpose (Im sure it was an accident, but I have seen racers do exactly like that on purpose). Great race otherwise, video was not

well what shall i comment?! i`ve been taken out by another FXR nOOb and thats why i flipped in lap 6/7

no seriously was good race and great fun

PS. we don`t know eachother, at least i don`t

Quote from pine-fin :

You are right. And your criticism is inspiring me...

Maybe it would be good for me to come out from behind the couch and do a little editing. Maybe no heavy metal music but at least cut out some of the longer bits without action and replace with some bumper-cam and external TV cam shots.

Because after all a fine example of what LFS offers to a racer should get more effort than just ripping and splicing 22 clips of onboard video Besides, I have succeeded some test footage using the sped-up capture to get smooth video, which is needed for external shots.

I have already spent many hours on this simple project.. it's kind of scary, the more I do it, the more I want to add. It's addictive this video-making. :camera:


Thanks for the added comment, Smokey. Glad you don't mind being caught upside down for the camera

Well heres an idea; we cant see left/right of the car, so if there is a close battle, we cant see it/cant see the other car. You could use the incar view, when there is no 'action'. Music is not always good, but you really should make the engine sounds LOUDER

(I dont know about others, but loud engine roaring always gives me pleasure. Not THAT kind of pleasure.)

haha NP im confident with myself. luckly i found this thread cause i dont check in here everyday. just looking at the new post and this was on-top at this moment.
I gonna save this thread to favorites

good to hear you try to do some editing . i like the basic style like this, where u can actually see whats happening in the race. i watch pretty often replays. so go for it and try "FlipCams". it might save u some time

I dont know evo`s username but im sure he also dont mind getting PM´ed when its done

PS. here is my XRR engine sound attached

EDIT: i watched it again and i do not give permission do to show my driving, my name or anything else thats related me with this Video/Race ... LOL I suck

cya

nice race , now i see what i'm missing
