Clickatey Linkie!!!

MrVestek

Sooo... what nobody looked at this?

aidan_walsh

Very poor sound towards the end, hardly audible at all...

roar_ie

I will look at it when i get home this evening and give you my insights

shinzon

Achilles your beaming effects are getting much better as time goes on, i would agree though the last bit of the video you cant here the sound at all

But hell if you put that together during lunch, id love to see what ye could do if you had a whole day to do something

like the beam me up effect. what did ye use to make it?

MrVestek

Thanks guys, yeah i realised that the audio was bearly audible towards the end but i did this by design. If i highered the audio up too much (we were a bit away from the cam and it's only a small 320x240 mini dv cam with 32 megs of memory) it'd sound kinda distorted and background noise would sound really bad so i just left it as is. I use a combination of 3 programs to create a good enough looking beam out, photoshop, premier pro, and particle illusion. The actual sparkle effect itself is the original tng footage :-) They show the original stock footage on the series one dvd extras, it's only for like a second or two but they show the original stock footage of the sparkles on their own and that's what i've used all along... but as you can see from the vid i've tinted it to be a lighter blue, as the footage i have always comes out looking like an off blue kind of grey.

Stevie K is a bit of an auteur.

MrVestek

Hey man thanks, i consider that a very high compliment :-) I know i kinda scrapped the temporal incursion movie idea thing but after college this year and stuff i'd like to film it during the summer if anybody has any renewed interest. I'm saving up for a good quality DV cam at the moment and if i'm not mistaken a guy on the editing boards offered loan of a dv cam for the duration of film making, not to mention a friend of mine who wouldn't mind either. 3 cams for different shots etc.... anybody interested? Would be nice to get the ball rolling again...

'Computer beam me up' for a site to site transport? Dodgy script

hehe was thinking that too

MrVestek

There was a script...? As i said we did this during lunch break it's not as if we had time to plan things out!!! I told him to say 'computer initiate transport' but he said beam me up and to be honest i didn't wanna reshoot cus i was hungry, so there ya go! Good enough explaination? :P

so.. therefore answer ===> www.fictionknus.com

Sorry you pointed me to some, what i can only assume is a german website about ? why?

FX Meister

That fag has spammed a whole load of threads with that same post, I dont know why he isnt banned yet.

MrVestek

Ohh ok right fair do's i thought he was pointing me to some video site or something. I dont think when it happens that those people are real people though i reckon it's just a script run to post a reply in vb3 to new posts on a site. But i could be wrong, anyways boards should have a system where if u post rediculous amounts of posts in a relatively short space of time your temp banned, a mod gets alerted then they investigate. It's like those bloody Religion enthusiasts that we get from time to time. 'Become a christian cus we're facists bastids who wants to impose our religion on other people and dont believe in freedom of choice....' is basically what they're saying by trying to conscript people. Sorry i'll stop now, any further and this'll be moved to the rant thread

Well, that was sh*t. Well done.
Like da trackshuit!

MrVestek

Yo, yo yo. Chill out. I only asked. It's not deragotory; you are clearly overweight, you're wearing a chav tracksuit, you have a strong Dubln accent, and you're from Crumlin. lol. What do you expect to be called when you dress like that? A freakin' jockey?

MrVestek

Yes, i am overweight... i eat too much therefore i have a bigger insulation layer on my body than average. I came to terms with that a long time ago, yes, i come from dublin, hence i have a dublin accent, and no, i am actually not from crumlin, i just go to college there, hence the name, crumlin college. Anyways wtf is a chav? they're called skangers you english-wannabe eejit.

What I don't understand is the mentality (or lack thereof) of you people... do you honestly think I give a damn about your opinion on my video or how I dress or how my body is or how much I eat or what TV programs I like etc? Answer: No

Sure, in my original post I asked for opinions, but I guess I should have clarified that I wanted them from intelligent individuals, with a fair few IQ points on their sheet, something which you obviously lack, seeing as how you resort to peurile name calling and the like. And anyways, calling me overweight with malicious undertones is not derogatory how? (By the way, learn how to spell...).

Point being that, whilst I felt the need to repond to this, I shouldn't really have to, or want to. That puny brain of yours does realise the diversity of the society we actually live in these days no? We don't actually have the same opinions as yourself... yes, i'm overweight I like Star Trek and have an interest in movie making. Hell I could probably come up with better insults in relation to myself than you ever could. So do yourself a favour... throw your keyboard against the wall... because you obviously dont deserve to have one.

Judging by your pent in anger and rage again whatever the hell has you so fecked up in life (did daddy not love you enough?) you shouldn't be let anywhere near a computer, let alone use or own one. I bet you're just some sad loner who has no release against the world but to peddle his meaningless, insignificant, peurile little rantings on an internet message board, the rant forum is that way *points* if u wanna rant about me there then fine, no skin off my nose... I couldn't really give two black shehites about some little eejit's opinion of me... who I am, my physical appearance, or what I do...

Is that 'chilled' enough for you?

simu

Cool film, I enjoyed that!
