My Contribution to the Movie Craze: Venom


Recommended Posts

I know there've been more lock on movies lately than one might be interested in viewing, but hey, I can't help the timing of the universe, you know... :) I hope there are some of you out there willing to give it a try and provide some feedback. God knows it took a small chunk of my life to make it.

 

It's basically an F-16 flick, premised on a fairly simple mission. It was originally intended for a limited audience, so excuse the MTVish feel.

Just over 70MB and just short of 10 minutes.

I've only experimented with Lock On's AVI-maker, mostly unsuccessfully. Though I plan on giving it another try next time (next time?! I must be nuts...). Can't help you much there. I think LOCsta takes that route, so maybe he can be of more help.

 

As far as Vegas render, I rendered this one as .wmv, with 1mbps as the quality setting and 640x512 as the resolution. That's about it, really. To capture the video with FRAPS, I was running Lock On at 1280x1024 and set FRAPS to record at half resolution. No audio. Also, ran Lock On at half-speed in order to have decent FPS, then double the speed in Vegas.

 

Hope that helps.

Very nice movie...

 

and... the AI managed to hit that good those bridges? wow!

 

Knowing that F-16 is just AI is still looking impresively good. F-18 also... What?... An F-18 movie? :D

Really, wow, we must've had the same teacher! :D

Thank you all for the kind words, they mean a lot.

Hmm, yeah, I think mine was named something about a glowing amraam... :confused:... :icon_mrgr. Also, there was an AndrewMcP, bSr.LOCsta, Dobberman, some guy named Tigrou...

 

...that must have taken some time to do.

To say the least! But now that its done, it was, apparently, time well spent.

 

the AI managed to hit that good those bridges? wow!

That's the upside of spending way too much time designing a single mission that works. The only thing I varied depending on the shot was the organization of the flight, i.e. 2 flights of 2, or 1 flight of 4, or 2 separate airgroups altogether.

 

any plans to another show?

Yes... but when? :rolleyes:
