Sweet ! The pause and rotation around the flaming car then continuing on was a neat trick too. Congrats on a great work !

Looking at the Honda and saying to myself " The 7 is backwards "....................then it zooms out and you realize you are looking in the mirror...VERY COOL. My eight year old daughter was impressed too. :-) Great job on this one. Highly recommended download. "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:_2Bg8.8590$xE.13466@rwcrnsc53...

Excellent work, very impressive! I had a big smile on my face the whole time I was watching it. Thank you very much. Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C. GPLRank -21.45 MonsterRank 22.17 Come see how you rank, at the GPLRank site http://newgplrank.schuerkamp.de/

Thanks... really got a kick out of that. Watched it once and had to immediately zoom back to the start and watch it a second time. The drum roll synced up with the rolling car at around 2:55 was brilliantly timed. If ever there was a recruiting video for GPL, this would have to be it...

I didn't notice that it was a mirror image. I just thought the fade to the next scend was an 'iris' fadeout... There was one shot that I thought was from a bumper cam, and the car was slowly spinning. It stopped and focused on the next car, then I realized it was the camera, not a car that was spinning<g>.

It's Jokimaa. The first lap I ever did. It's against the AI and I didn't realise there was a big jump coming :) Incidentally, the ferrari burning in the tree (the scene before that) is actually the aftermath of the crash :O Kev

Nice film!

Did think about that but the next scene of the honda dropping out of the sky onto the other one is actually the same car a couple of seconds later so I didn't want to give the impression that it had crashed and stopped. I could re-render it like that just for you :-) Kev

Could you have taken a direct shot of the honda, and down a mask wipe with a postition adjustment so that as the camera pulls back from the ECU to reveal the BRM mirror the mask tracks it? Could set keyframe points to make sure the mask wipe moves accordingly. But, depending on the edit software that could be harder that than easier. (Besides, the virtual cameramen applaude your doing it as a "live shot" rather than post production effect<g>).

Superb Movie,Absoltley stunning. I downloaded Jokimma and the AI cars slow down at the jump, cool place for watching replays....Fave scene is the shot at around 45 secs where the lotus lays down a lot of rubber.....cool camera work "Kevin Clark" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Oh, don't do that. It's one thing for the audience to discuss a film and the choice of camera angles which were made by the director and cinematographer, but it's a completely different thing for the director to allow his artistic integrity to be compromised by the critique of armchair filmmakers. :-) I really like it the way it is.

Could I get you to do a film of highlights of the GPLF3R Legues races for this last season, when it is finished? I have all but one of the server replays. I think this would be a great way to remember the season. I was thinking I would give it a try myself, but then I saw your work and well . . . SLG Kevin Clark <[email hidden]> wrote:

Incredible - absolutely incredible. Don't even bother with the smaller version - this movie *demands* to be seen in the highest quality possible! Fantastic work Kevin! I recognize most of the car updates, except for that really nice Cooper. Is that a released car, or another teaser for upcoming GPLEA work ;). Again - bravo! I'd like to see someone top this - although I had an idea for a remake of the action shots in "Grand Prix" using GPL ;). Kendt

:O Well I'm learning Adobe Premiere as I go along so masks, mattes and keyframes are a bit above me at the moment. :) Kev

That one took 3 months to make on and off and I just happened to have a fair few replays that fitted the music. Only 3 short bits were from other people. I think you would be better off doing it yourself because you know the characters in your league, you know where all the incidents are and you can give your own view and interpretation of how it went. Just a tip, get the GPL CCM camera manager. Dead easy to use and doesn't limit you to track and car cam angles. And above all, use your imagination. Kev

I have no idea what compression I used. It's just a wmv (windows media file). You might need a divx thingy. Try www.divx.com. Kev

Not a GPLEA car. It's a skin from someone. Berca maybe. It's all in the GPLCSM car manager cooper pack. > > Again - bravo! > > I'd like to see someone top this - although I had an idea for a remake > of the action shots in "Grand Prix" using GPL ;). You should watch Sam Dobie's movies. They're ace! And Durbster is making excellent progress in making movies look more realistic. He's fiddling with wobbly cameras, focus and stuff like that for a more lifelike feel. Kev

Durbsters latest epic is on the way up at RaceSimCentral.... actually it IS already uploaded, just not linked to yet. (lazy me) Go pick it up at http://www.racesimcentral.com/downloads/mirror/britleague.avi All the other movies we used to have are in a moving phase.... expect them to be all comfy on their new server sometime soon, I'll post once they are up again after all that music copyright trouble.

Wow! Took me 1h 39min to download, but it was more than worth it... When I played it first at 16bpp, there were some glitches, but switching to 32bpp solved that. After watching it three times, now I've just recorded it to VHS to take it and show it to some friends this weekend (together with last sunday's race), I hope you don't mind... (BTW, about download time, in that page I also noted a comment from someone in Portugal to whom it took a similar time and using cable too... I guess he must be using the same crappy ISP I have over here...) -- __________ ____---____ Marco Antonio Checa Funcke \_________D /-/---_----' Santiago de Surco, Lima, Peru _H__/_/ http://machf.tripod.com '-_____|( http://www.GeoCities.com/Hollywood/2645 remove the "no_me_j." and "sons.of." parts before replying

Steve, very much looking forward to seeing that movie!!! ;-) Ken

Only just got round to seeing this movie and at risk of being tedious and repeating what everyone else has said already... absolutely *brilliant* work Kev! Very well composed and edited, must have taken a lot of hard work to get the timings right with the lyrics :o) I don't have much time for driving these days, but I can DL movies while I sleep, and dream a little while I watch them. Thanks for reminding me why GPL's such an inspiration. Actually I'm in the process of introducing a guy at work to GPL. In his youth he raced seriously and has driven competetively at the 'Ring amongst other places. Worked with him for several years before I found this out! Anyway, his driving days are long gone but I've bunged some movies on the GPL disk I'm making for him to try and spread the addiction a little further. Hopefully your video and the works of others will inspire him as well! Andrew McP --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Way to Go Andrew. You realize tho that your friend now stands a very real chance of financial ruin and the ending of his marriage. "Sure Honey I'll be right to bed...just as soon as I make a clean lap at the 'Ring." dave henrie

I think he's *far* too sensible for that. Besides, he has relatively little free time and a young son, which will both act as a natural brake on his racing aspirations. So his marriage is safe, I'm sure :o) Andrew McP --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Um.... as with so many add ons for GPL it's not always easy to remember :) Al Heeley has a nurby sky here http://www.bengpl.racesim.net/gplskies.html but I don't think it's that one. Ah! Found it. Simon Stobbart http://www.kemb.freeserve.co.uk/skies/ HTH Kev

It's only running at 800x600 for the avi grabs. As a result everything is switched on and running at max detail. Runs ok at 1024x768 with the detail slider half way though. Kev
