The demo file has a lot of potential, but your cinematography could use a lot of work. But still good.

Think you can upload the demo file for us?

[MrBrown]

Yep here's the demo:

BTW I didn't think that the demo was really good, as we were playing on this map with 5 players only. As there were some cool scenes at the end of the 30 minutes, I had to record half an hour of camera movement and let my PC render a 30 minute video @75fps (for slow motion scenes). As that process is very time consuming, I ended up using only one camera recording for the whole movie. The next time I will record several shorter demos, it's a lot easier to work with then. There isn't any possibility to split demofiles yet, or is it?!?
That's why no scene is shown from two different camea angles.

Concerning the cinematography, can you make some suggestions (besides using more camera angles)?

Nice, vid, I'm gunna work with that demo file though. So much I wanna do with it.

[jdogg88-Fed]

not to bad more camera angles would be better maybe add in some more stunts

I made a smaller version of this movie, it's about 2 minutes long and about 20 megs.

Hey, nice video =)

But at 0:48 the video crashes my video player, no matter which one I use, also tried deactivating ffdshow, didn't help. If I jump straight to 1:00 I can watch the end though...
Strange thing... any Idea?

[{RR}Kohbo]

dunno, doesn't happen to me

I thought it was really good, although some special effects (sound) could've helped make it even better ^_^

No, I don't think so ... :(

Technically, there is a way to do that with one large demo file. A lot of the movies that Eclipse and I made, as well as a lot of other movies on here, were made using a combination of BFRecorder, Fraps, and either Premiere or Windows Movie Maker. Just watch your demo from BFRecorder, but have FRAPS running at the same time. Then, record whatever is on your screen with fraps and whenever you want a new angle of something, pause the demo and the movie and fraps, get a new angle, and then continue the demo and fraps. This should give you a bunch of little movie files recorded in fraps which you then complie in premiere or windows movie maker to add text, effects, etc. This is kind of painstaking though because if you mess up or if you want multiple angles of one stunt youre gonna have to start the demo all over due to the fact theres no rewind feature in BFRecorder.

And yes, a rewind function is greatly needed.
