Now since I can't get ingame right now this depresses me! 
But it's a very smooth video man!! GJ!

hey thanks TA!
Yanno... I might not be an artist... but if you send me a demorecord of TA or AoT, I might be able to put them into the vids as cameos... *wink wink, nudge nudge*

Double post ahead...
That's a good choice of song. My only real issue is that it doesn't seem thematically tied together, just sort of random outdoor shots. In which case, I'd like to see the highlights from all of City of Villains. Especially since I can't really play that side of the game, what with the lag and all.
Show me the goods!

I thought about that... but there's two things keeping me from doing a City of Villains travelogue.
One, I don't have any chars high enough to survive all the zones (my stalker maybe, but she uses superjump so the camera pan shots would be tricky.)
and two, this is in response to a "theme music for zones" post on Virtue. I was trying to think of how I could show Port Oakes in this gritty downtrodden way to match the music.
As for the random shots... yeah. I need to storyboard it a bit better. I may redo it, intersperse ground-level scenes with the top-down 'flyover'...

(Waves to ProfBlue from down the street Texas style from Austin) I liked this vid for music and scenes. ProfBlue, if you had my PC, maybe some of those screen jitters wouldn't be there. I know it's so hard to work with those things.
Yeah those came about when recording the demo playback with FRAPS. I specified 30, and it'd drop to 15 when it was recording.
I haven't got the hang of assembling stills (no Premiere! all I have is Windows Movie Maker and Quicktime Pro) so I'm relying on FRAPS to do the encoding to AVI... once it's in that I can work with it.
Also, I need to actually get in and edit the demo files a bit, figure out how to encode smooth camera pans. I can do it in Bryce (keyframes) and in POV (clock variables and a lot of cartesian algebra) but.... damnit it's NOTEPAD!!
(goes back to reading Zloth's demo guides)

Theoretically -- I say that because I can't quite get thefeature to work correctly for me, but others use it successfully -- Zloth's Demoeditor will dump a bunch of screenshots to a file and you can then just stitch them together in Windows Movie Maker. Probably a bit more labor-intensive, but it's similar to animation in that you have total control over the exact frames.

I tried that. It works for short demos. There's a practical limit of about 3 minutes per 'clip' at 30FPS... beyond that, Movie Maker will crash (this is on a 2Ghz Pentium dual-core with 3GB of ram to play with). Larger resolution stills will reduce the amount that can be encoded. Quicktime works a LITTLE better... but it's still pretty finicky with large amounts of stills. Which means you have to have a lot of patience.

Uploaded this at around noon today.

Had a demo all recorded for Kings Row... but it won't play back. Also DemoEdit errors out when I try and load it for editing. So there's definitely something screwy about demorecords made in certain zones. I'll edit it in Notepad just to make sure there's nothing obviously wacky.
