Guys you could have discuss this lengh issu sooner.. I would have been ok for stuff around 3 min.. Now i dont know what to say, its a bit late.. But if all the participents agree the less than 4 min movie to enter the contest.. Well.. I dont know really..
But guys i dont agree 4 min or more teaser is boring.. Just look at the yoyov1 contest winner : "what is yoyorast island" ... More than 5 min and not boring at all...
4mins isn't boring,Very difficult... but i know of 4 video that can't enter because of
the time length and Freelancer's.
Yoyo i mentioned this 4 days after you posted this thread...Quote:

True, I forgot that.. but you said "past than 5 min", I asked for 4 min minimum... and once again, look at "what is yoyorast island" and tell me it's boring... and it's more than 5 min.Quote:

I do understand how a 4 minute minumum time limit makes sense in this community, since noone here really is actually good at video editing and most of the entries will be just random footage from the map. But for some people it's a different story :downs:
KK guys you won lol, well if it's not a problem for those who respected the 4 min lengh, let's say that it's now opened to every lengh then... :woop:
I say, let the voters decide! If a video is too short and doesn't show much, it's not going to receive a lot of votes. No need to impose arbitrary length requirements, let the best video win!
So how is the voting going down, will there be a poll going "THESE ARE THE VIDEOS NOW VOTE" or what
yes thisQuote:

I was going to make a trailer but I can't get shit working with halo CE 1.09 on windows 7. If any of you are making a trailer out there then you can use the song I was going to use in mines.
Fucking windows 7.
Video sucks
E:Or this :>
Pm me for stuff.
DEE I thought you said you hated the second song when I showed it to you, lol.
It is used too much.
Where? I've never seen it before I used it
Gmod contraption presentations.
Well, yoyorast's purpose of the contest is to promote the map.
Let's say you never even heard of Halo CE. And let's say you never played custom maps (like console users).
If you see a video that is very short about it, wouldn't you want to know more about this map? Usually the longer the video is, the more places you know about.
t3h m00kz shows many places in the map, and it is long (which makes it a great video).
Also, yoyorast 2 is a huge map... If it's a short video, i don't think it shows enough features of the map.
I say that the voters still choose, however, a longer video is probably given a lot more effort and time.
lolQuote:

You might think that a long video would be boring, probably because you played Yoyorast 2 already.
But for the people who haven't, it can be very interesting.
I always thought the minimum 5 minute requirement for this contest was too much. A trailer is supposed to be short and sweet. The whole point of it is to capture the viewer's attention and catch them before they become bored. You need to remember that this isn't for people who are already interested in the map and want to see a cool video - this is for people who have never heard of it and want to see the best of the map.
The longer the video is does not necessarily correlate with how good it is. A good director would be able to come up with a storyboard . I actually had a pretty good trailer laid out and I was planning on working on this with Con, but the length turned me away. We wanted to make a massive, yet coherent montage of Yoyorast to a single instrumental song with minimal loops. Having more than one song was unprofessional in our opinion. Another difficulty was that there was only so much redundant gameplay a viewer wants to see. We had several awesome scenes planned, but it would have only filled a couple of minutes. Out of good, fitting ideas, the only other option would have been to fill it with just more clips of generic fighting, taking away the thrill from the rest of the video we worked so hard planning.
Gentlemen.

Sure it looks good, but its not entertaining and the intro was pointless.
The into looks like you followed a bunch of video co-pilot tutorials.
just the energy wave, everything was made from scratch though.Quote:

Ugh, the amount of indecision around this makes me a very very sad panda. I originally had a great idea for a music selection but had to trash the idea because the song wasn't long enough... Now I find out that the rules have completely changed and videos of any length can be submitted? That's extremely unfair since a lot of us have been working under a fixed set of rules since the contest started...
I won't be voting for any videos that are under the 4 minute requirement, due to the simple fact that they're not following the rules of the contest. I'd prefer that no videos under 4 minutes in length even be considered for the final voting process. Changing the time requirement (or any rules) less than a week before the contest is due to close is complete bullshit.
Hell if someone posted up a video under 3:30 minutes that was created with a million dollar budget, and it was literally the best video I've seen EVER created for Halo CE I wouldn't be voting for it.
On a positive note, I can't wait to get rid of the 400GB+ of 1080p (or better) video files I have of the island...
I agree to some extent. I did my best to reach the 4:00 time mark first time around. All I had was the intro at the time, and it was short. By ten or twenty seconds. I couldn't squeeze any more in. If it weren't short, I probably wouldn't have added the race/slayer sections.
Awesome video, Ganon! Glad you like dnb too :)
That's why I was asking the 1st participents if they agreed the rule change..Quote:

Edit: also yoyo, pmed :)
Free, I'm sorry man, but the thing is I can't delay the contest now that everybody is done... it was my bad in the 1st place to ask for 4 mins vids... accept my apologie man. I really would have liked to see your work. But if I understand well, you missed TIME and FULL SERVER to do what you wanted so I'm not 100% gulty I guess.
Mookz, I feel sorry too man, but at least you're in lol... as you said, if you got bit of time, you can always make it shorter if that's possible (in the middle part in my opinion)..
I'm re-uploading a slightly shorter version of my video. If all goes well it should be up before the 22:00 deadline.
EDIT:
Give it time to process for better quality
I'm still going to submit a video, but it won't win because I had to rush a lot of stuff due to the fact that I wasn't able to get the clips I wanted.Quote:

I'm rendering my final version now which should take about an hour... After that I'll have to upload it which will take anywhere from 1-5 hours depending on how my internet connection feels...
Dam nice to hear it.. And cannot aim free... :(Quote:

Liked Ganon's video best so far, but when it started to show people capturing the flag I got bored. Flag tosses or almost-dying or something actually interesting would have been a much better showcase of all the jumps, cubbyholes and safe rooms that yoyorast has.
I am doing the same.Quote:

I believe Freelancers statment to an extent about it being BS, however, Ganon practically edited his entire video, got clips, in 2 days. (besides the intro). He was also using Aftereffects for the first time he told me, so really I dont think it would take that long, especially when the video can be whatever time now.
You have no idea how hard I tried to eliminate that. I have 99 theories as to why it does that and a bitch ain't one :eng101:Quote:

It was the right length; you're showing off the best of Yoyorast, not every little hole and path you can find. If you want to show off someone walking from flagstand to flagstand as one continuous shot then by all means, you can get at least 4 minutes out of that but it'll still be shit. Freelancer is just being mad because he didn't manage his time well and now he has to edit AT LEAST A 4 MINUTE VIDEO L@L last-minute. This isn't anyone's fault but yours, and if you really expect there to be a full server on CE that isn't Blood Gulch well good fr*gg*n luck with that lol.
Also, i am the best driver minus the 8 times i fell off on atv :>

I think you all need to stop complaining about the time rule change. Always account for variable change. Shit happens.
Ganon was able to get the clips he wanted because people volunteered to help him out, however it would of been impractical of me to try and schedule 15 additional people and have them act shit for my video. That's not what I was going for.Quote:

Coming from someone who isn't me, related to me, or acquainted to me in any way, that means absolutely nothing! I probably put in a good 72 hours of filming, organizing, and editing time on this project. Unfortunately I also have some things going on in real life (you should try it sometime) that prevented me from computing for long periods of time this month!Quote:

umad :allears:
And to be honest, 72 hours of filming could of been easily made into a 4 minute video. if its 72 hours of nothing that you needed, you obviously wasted 72 hours of your life~
nice vid freelancer
Get 2-3 people to help you film, takes 1-2 hours. You can get a solid half hour of good footage since you're staging the clips the way you want, not just randoms hurfindurfin around Yoyorast.Quote:

Hey guys, try re-reading the post again. I'm saying I've spent about 72 hours total work time on this project since it was announced.
Also I have another thing to say...
May the quality of the video (like HD, high quality) be irrelevant when deciding the vote?
Sure, it looks nice, but it takes forever to buffer and also to upload.
I could of easily put HD on my contest video, but it would take a long time to buffer as well as to upload, so I did not.
Also, some people probably do not have After Effects or Sony Vegas.
These are random ppl voting, I don't think they'll take that into consideration.
I would say the most entertaining would win, this is only a small group of halo guru's and everyday people.
What about yours spy, could upload in the end?
I don't think so, Video size is huge and would take hours
i'ma try a different site and compress, still reaching for it, i'll let you know.
-e wait nvm i got it, forgot filefront had video player built in
Can't figure how to enable it here though

Here's my vid.
KK very cool, thanks for your submissions guys, I'm still waiting for Freelancer's and Thespy one... ;)
weren't you the one bitching about reducing itQuote:

What effects do you add to your footage?
I had to watch your video through a proxy lol
Anyway very nice intro...though it got repetitive. Too much gameplay but your video filters made everything look really nice :-3
very awesome trailer lateski. loving it.
fucking hell I just realized I fucked up the shorter version of my video, placed some clips wrong.
god fucking damnit I knew that was gonna happen
brb rerendering and reuploading fffff 2 hours left
For color correction I used plugins for Vegas, they're called Magic Bullet and Newblue. If you don't have 'em I can sendz you!Quote:

Guessing warlords video is now entered due to length change requirement.
and great job mixing the audio Lateski, felt like surround sound when i have mono sound.
Nope, I was looking for a push back on the deadline.Quote:

ditoQuote:

It also seems to upload in like 45-50 seconds after I hit "upload", obviously this isn't the case since my connection couldn't ever hope of reaching those speeds (try more like an hour or two)... It then just sits there, and if I check the "My Videos" section in another tab or on another PC the video status is "Uploaded (Video Is Processing)"... Again, clearly not possible. This happened before for a few videos and I just had to keep reuploading it until it finally worked like 50 attempts later.
Guys, i wont mind if you are 1 hour or 2.. But hurry lol..
Lateksi, i was going to tell you its a pain you removed the moment when you snipe (in the air) the guy jumping from the ramp going from beach base to atv base + the moment we see the custom hog in the gaeagz without music and suddenly the music starts when a guy fell dead on the floor you know... Those were 2 of my prefered moment..
Thanks Yoyo, I'll do my best not to make you wait too long, I'll still try to get it in before 22:00 lol
Also, Lancer, how big is the video? What encoding? etc
Yohan, I'm not sure if the original video you're talking about is mine? I mean, I haven't made any other Yoyorast videos except this one.Quote:

I'd say try it with a different encoder, like Xvid if you can. Single pass, 1.00 target quantizer. If that doesn't work.. well, youtube's officially a douche bag.
Xvid is horrible, and this is the same format as all my other HD videos on YouTube.
Nah, it's the uploader that's a bitch.
I had the same problem with all of my HD videos. The upload would start with the progress bar and throbber, then never end. Luckily I have a good upload speed, so it finishes rather quickly and I can see the video getting processed under my videos. However, I can never add a title and description from the actual upload - it won't save. I have to click edit on the uploaded video to change the default one.
Same here...except for the high speed connection :smith:Quote:

Coom mookz ye sorry, i was talking bout mpokz vid, not yours letaksi
Can i just upload it to another site and post the link here?,
Nothings changing, I even rendered it again, i never had this problem before, but i got it working on photobucket and other sites.
ye ye sure, tell when ready plz... Mookz for your new updated vid and Freelancer also plzQuote:

Whatever.. you can use it if you want, or use the original longer trailer. But if you used the cropped version just inform people that it ends at 7:06 please D;
In the meantime I'll attempt to fix it.. the render and reupload should be shorter. if it's too late before I'm done, don't worry about it.
Since I'm still waiting for freelancer's you still have time, but I'll put this one informing people when it ends if free sends his first... But Freelancer? are you around?
But Mookz, I don't want to make you crazy but the sniping moment in your original version at 2:16 is still missing in the new version + the moment before the 3rd music start is now shorter and I prefered before... It's a personal opinion but I prefered your original version.. but it's up to you man..
I am, YouTube has failed to upload my video 3 times now... I'm uploading it to lancersedge.com and I'll provide a link, should be ready in about 2 hours, sorry for the wait.
I also have no idea how people are going to view my video since they're all going to have to manually download it to watch it.
Six minutes on the re-render, then another upload which should be another five
Free, you should try vimeo.com ... I use to use it, very clean .. spy used this to submit his vid..Quote:
