ABSOLUTELY SICK

getting this put up on the front page

pretty sick stuff, i got cs5 suite and a retimer plugin for adding frames inbetween frames to achieve super super slow mo that looks awesome, thanks to a tip from slick, but i hope to get into making some videos, since u seem like i know what ur doing u should record some footage and convert to 720p or 1080p for me to mix up

twixtors also a good plugin for super slow mo but havent had any luck finding a good torrent of the full version. i have vegas, cs5 after effects n premiere and the intro animations i render with cinema 4d. fairly new to this video editing stuff but ill see what i can get to u.

Added to front page.

Wow, didn't know this is what you did bob. The video is ridiculous.

check it out brodles, after about 6 some hours of messing around with various effects, making about 10 different intro text scenes all with different concepts i got to the point where i could make this...

nice global! after effects or cinema4d?

after effects ofc not bad for a day of working with the program ehh

not at all! check out cinema4d when you get a chance it makes super high quality animation renders the program files can be then imported and edited in after effects. Im still just messing around with these programs too but its amazing what people have done. I just finished one that took 14 hours to render... ill work on a dod one sometime http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk3XrGrCQLY

nice, we'll have to collaborate and stuff, that reel u linked is pretty intense thought, lots of 3d animation it seems, which is a whole nother can of worms, really really work intensive shit

first competent render from twixtor, i think it looks pretty good, need to work on motion vectors and sub masks to make it any crisper, which will take a couple more days of learning, but this is what i go so far, turned 3 frames into 300

looks good, i'd suggest trying 1000 fps instead of 3000fps.

start playing with parabolas too, you gotta warp the action down to that slowed down pace, then speed it up. both quickly.

check this one out, they slowdown effect is way too long though, but it's done nicely



i'd suggest 1000fps max, but i wouldn't keep 1000fps going for more than 2-4 seconds, with 1 second curves into and out of that.

i'm looking at twixtor demo footage, and it seems that there might not be a parabolic arcs possible in twixtor? that would suck, but you could still rick shit



looked around some more...

see this guy seems to have a good feel for knowing when and how to use the effect, use this as inspiration:

very kewl vids, the lines on those were nice and crisp so twixtor can make nice and easy sense of it, and yeah, i skipped the parabolic time warp for speeds sake, just wanted to get it done and understood so when i get epic footage i can kick its ass, check this out btw ...

You can do better. Yeah the blending seemed awkward, parabolas are good.

refined smoke wipe, made the text texture crisper and brought out the first C a bit

yeah that looks better, with out going over the top. gj

i still think the only thing you're missing is 3d letters, even if it's a fake 2-D way of giving the lettering more "bulk"

the lettering you have the font looks good, but it just needs depth.

get nakoomer to do the voiceover for pussy 2D lettering, you get shakkles when you want beefy 3D lettering.

btw, BF3 BETA PWNAGE RIGHT HERE KID!

heres ur 3D text u big jerk

ok, this took forever, tell me what u think, personally i think its epic, with exception to the minor stuttering with the smoke, i thin i have my parabola a bit too extended, gonna remedy that soon, but aside from that what do u think?
