My YouTube films
|
We had a thread a while back showcasing some youtube videos we uploaded, showing a snipet of our fanfilm The Darkened Force. Sadly the thread is now locked but I thought we might as well start a new one anywho.
While I will try and get the whole of TDF uploaded, however, a few new doors have just opened up for me. A few years ago, I was exporting to my camcorder using a DV enabler (which I wouldn't recommend btw) and a technical hitch caused it to have a battery failure, rendering it useless. However, I've managed to get it working again, and it means I can export all my films back onto Mac and export them into QT movies, ready to be uploaded onto youtube for your viewing pleasure 
This will of cause take a bit of time, but watch this space....if you dare

If you post a link to the thread Malkie or I can unlock it and up it for you. It probably autolocked due to going 6 months without a post.

Cheers LAJ, but the original thread's title was quite specific, referring to just one of our films, so this more general title and thread is better in the long run actually

There are various ways to try and get the camera out of it's DV enabled state, none worked before but it just decided to work on this occasion. I didn't go as far as smashing it on the table, but I did open it up hoping to find a reset button, but to no avail. Thankfully now there's less need for me to use the DV enabler as I have a bigger HD and can burn onto DVD, yay!
Anyway, back to business, I hope to have a short film I made nearly five years ago up and running on youtube. Just working on the final sound mix and then it'll be ready for exporting. I do indeed dare you Jamie, I do indeed

I'm trying to find the best compression methods first, which is a bit of a nightmare but hopefully I'll get it looking as good as possible on youtube. The film is finished though, so that's something

My YouTube films might need to change to my video.google films as I seem to be getting better quality using that service rather then youtube, plus the film is just over 12 mins long so would have to be broken into two parts on youtube, but video.google doesn't have that problem.
So here is a sneak peak. When you view the clip, make sure it's set to 'Original size' on the bottom right corner (an arrow head pointing down). Quality isn't great as google have compressed it into a .flv file but I'm hoping to make it a bit better for the final version. I may also try other hosting options so I can show the mpeg4 conversion which looks great and so far is only 55MB big, which ain't half bad.
Here it is: Triony 59sec Preview

Ladies and Gentlemen, I can now offer you a link to the full length shortfilm, hosted on video.google.
Quality ain't bad for a .flv file, but annoyingly the Club Monkey scenes aren't great. For this version they have been lightened up, and the lack of picture quality is very evident. However, below are some stills to help you envisage the scene in its true DV format.
Triony 2007
Here are the notes that accompany the video on google:
What's this all about then?? Well, it's a toughy to explain really, but the best way to describe Triony would be a mini-fantasy epic meets a Tarintino caper meets a Terry Gilliam enduced encore....perhaps. This is a short film I made back in the summer of 2002, which has been tweaked for 2007. Just watch it with an open mind and remember that it was made with a big fat budget of zero pounds (sterling) on a Digital8 camera and as a bit of fun and experimentation. Hopefully there'll be something for all to enjoy.
So there you have it, any questions and comments are welcome
And here are the stills:
