OFP Movie

[Phantom]

Max_Killer_Payne and myself are looking into makin an OFP Film, not giving away any story yet, but what do u guys thinki of an ofp movie, how long do u think you'd watch for?

[max_killer_payne]

Yeah, we wanna gauge what sorta time limit you guys think we should have.

[dmakatra]

If itÂ's good IÂ'll watch for an hour(and IÂ'm not in a hurry), if itÂ's more avarge and just get boring with same angles and same style and blah blah blah IÂ'll watch 5-10 mins at most.

Cheers Armstrong, anyone else?

Like armstrong said if its good camera work, and something original and new i wud definetely watch for about an hour. Give us a little peak in2 the plot. Go on we know u want 2.  ;D

[Phantom]

the reason we didn't give u a peak before was because we were still debating what we would do. now we've decided on a cutscene/mission type thing, so the cutscene's will be there to tell the story, and the missions stuff will be there to keep you busy. but as for the scenario, we've got one, an have already started work, but i'll have to discuss it with max, so i know how much we're gonna tell people and what.

Same again, I'd watch it as long as it was interesting - You gotta think about the size of the download for us poor Dial-up users if your gonna make an hour-long movie though...

 ;D film making in ofp is my game ,:) . i find that 15 mins is a good time . and this also is hard to fill. if ya doing a car chase. i could lend ya mine

[Phantom]

no car chase mate, but thanks anyway
and about dial-up, i think that the majority of people on broadband were on dial-up at one stage, and i know what it's like!

[max_killer_payne]

Okay, scince I didnt catch you online Phantom. I thought I'd just say this. The movie/mission that me and Phantom have been working on will probably be ready in beta by Saturday. I just need to discuss things about the mission with Phantom.

[Phantom]

yeh, the weekend should be fine, e-mail me when i'm not online mate

I've been expermenting with using different screen capture programs in order to grab stuff out to .AVI files so that they can be edited in an NLE application, adding effects and such. But, the sad thing is, the ones that gives you good quality in terms of resolution and detail, has crappy framerates and lags the hell out of things, and the ones that give you good framerates and don't lag everything to death, has crappy resolution and detail.

[Phantom]

that's because it's not designed to be done like that. you need a TV In/Out port on your V Card, then you plug it into your VCR and have your TV into the vcr, record what you've got into the VCR and then it's easier to be edited.

[KTottE]

I think you're missing my point.
This software is designed to capture everything on screen and save it to an .AVI file.

I know you can do it the VCR-way, but like effort, plus I only have S-Video out on my gfx-card.

[Phantom]

i didn't miss your point, i just said that it's meant to be done with a tv inout because it's shoddy on computers unless you've got a damn good one. i've got a damn good one and it's crap on mine
