Yet again! Found a way to hide that mug, lol. Sky is the magician(sp?)

The person blurred in this image is actually SkyLineRacer. I am standing next to the dude with the camera.

 

[WA2FAST]

That's funny how the pic turned out. That looks cool... almost like it was photoshoped (with poopy resolution of course)

 

[SkyMaxx]

It's called motion and focus. The buggy was the focus, the background was not. SO the buggy is clear and the background is not.

Aside from that, a lot of these stills are being extracted from video...and that is why the background in a lot of them is blurred (it was in motion.)

I dont care, your always blurred some how damnit! What are ya hiding Sky? hmmmm those are nice pics though, I wish i was cool enough to take pictures like that:dumb:

 

[SkyMaxx]

I guess I just have that affect on cameras. =devil

Why are you so interested in what I look like? Cruising for a piece...? If so, I don't play that way.

Not interest, i find my questions alot more hetero than MSLY asking me who I was taking to the prom but anyway....no its just weird cause every picture even avatar you face is always covered up, your like that wilson guy from Tim Allen show. Hidy Ho neighbor

 

[SkyMaxx]

LMAO...I'm like one of those blur censored people you see in the news. Guess the laws of nature prevent a clear image of me from being taken. I honestly don't know why it is that I do not appear in many photos. I do know that I am the one who is usually behind the cameras...so that might have something to do with it. The other part might just be that I am so hideous to behold that no camera can focus up.

Thats a bitch when everyone else has cool pics of them hanging out and you have none except for a few of the RC, lol. Tyler doesn't know how tot ake the random pictures yet.

 

[SkyMaxx]

That's okay by me. My ride doing cool poop in a photo is more fun to look at than some shot of middle-aged me sitting there gawking at someone else's ride doing cool poop.

Sign of a good video man.

For the video of pirata's jump startoff with something like the Beastie Boys on the approach then when its actually on the ramp stop slow it down cut out the Beastie Boys & put in like a Heart beat kinda thump. Or instead of the heart beat maybe something futuristic sound like, jumping to hyper speed. after it leaves the lip of the ramp play R. Kelly's (I believe I can fly). After it hits the ground do like a Loud Rough of the crowd sound like at a sporting event or something. Just Imagine it.

Sorry I ment Roar of the crowd sound at the end(not rough)

 

[SkyMaxx]

Thanks for the idea, suppa...it might get some play. Will have to see how the rest of the video comes together around it.

 

[AC48]

How long is the vid going to be Sky?? Sounds like you got a lot of footage.

 

[SkyMaxx]

I haven't taken a look at the total time. I have edited over 15GB of footage from three digital video tapes. I can't recall what it has been cut down to, but I think I have chopped about 8GBs worth of crap out.

Once I get done with the transitions, effects, slo-mos, replays, addition of tunes....it should be a respectable length. It may get broken into a few smaller features for presentation on the internet...that will be decided when I get the final version done. Either way, it will not be 56k friendly...broadband will be a must to get it without choking your modem.

I'll take a look at the time index when I get home tonight and see if I can give a rough guess to the time length. Filesize will be determined by quality and file format that I choose. Right now, AVI, MPEG-4, MOV, and WMV are all being looked at in order to allow the best viewing for everyone. Again final format will depend.

I will be producing DV quality DVDs for those that attended the bash.

Final installment of stills...

Just finished chopping the last 7 clips. Talk about arduous duty.

Without affects, the raw footage is now chopped down to 35.5 minutes of run time. Once affects and what-not get added, this may turn into a 45 min feature.

The full version may not make it to the internet in any format. I may have to put up parts of the movie one at a time.

Gotta love it when you get that much action to shoot.

Anyways...here is the last round of stills. The next thing I post will be the movie itself. Enjoy:

Military Maxx puts on a show in this series....

Here, he flies right under my arm...I actually had to lean away to avoid contact.

Final shot is Nick's Savage doing that air thing again...

 

[mcvickj]

Another round of great shots!! :thumbup:

I know I would like to see the entire thing posted as one file. Unless you have a file size / bandwidth issue you have to deal with.

 

[Nitro_Freak]

that would be absolutely awesome if you could post the whole 45min video for all of us

 

[SkyMaxx]

Posting it isn't the problem. It is the download time. Everyone always bitches about the length of my movies at 8-10mins. A 45 minute one would garner me all kinds of hate and discontent.

 

[olds97_lss]

Well, the ones of us who understand how the internet works wouldn't mind... especially if we have high speed!

Maybe post a 45 and break it up into smaller movies for those with slower connections. Nothing fancy, just broken into 5 minute pieces.
