This video was tons of fun to work on, and then unfortunately RL kicked me in the ass and it's been sitting around 99% done. Well it's finally done now, and I hope you all enjoy it. I've tried some new tricks with vent convo's and reverb and compression ect ect. It turned out pretty cool I think, but I'm more interested in what you all think!!!! I didn't notice too much of a difference between the low quality & high quality render, but rendering has always been a pain in the ass for me.
Without further delay!!!!
High Quality 100megs - High Quality Low Quality 50megs - Low Quality
Please let me know what you think, don't be shy!!!!

Snazy . It's nice too see someone finding a use for those vent effects without making ppl sound like darth vader (personally all i ever use em for is auto levelling everyone).

As always G, awesome stuff. Was fun watching this one evolve from concept to completion, even if r/l slowed down the release a bit. Proud to be a member of Meridian and FREGE.

Glad to hear the voices worked out, I'm hoping to do some really cool audio stuff with the next one, just got some new hardware @ home that will make things much much easier.

Loving the vid Skivy, It was well worth the hours you've put into it.
I was particularly impressed with the quality of the Vent sound captures, you really cleaned them up nicely

Not sure if that was a slam or not...but it ain't all we do. If you watched and listened closely, you'll see a whole lot more goin' on than our current operations. I'd say lets keep stuff here on the "video" and leave COAD to COAD, eh?

There's nothing that I can say here that won't come off as some self-aggrandizing propaganda type stuff since my name is on the credits.
So, in light of that: THIS VIDEO FRAKKIN RAWKS!!!!

Well, I am not in the credits so maybe what I am going to say will carry a little more weight, Esdi...
I have been with Meridian for over a year now and have enjoyed every moment of it. I fly with some of the finest pilots in Eve, of whom I am proud to have as my brothers-in-arms. We are a member of FREGE, one of the strongest alliances in Eve, and take our membership very seriously. This video is a dedication to all of the pilots who we fly with in defense of our alliance.
G, as always, you have done Meridian proud.

Honest criticism:
1) The titles needed working on - would recommend movement after your infinite-to-normal scale on the text, like adding some tracking, instead of a simple dissolve. I'd suggest that if you overlap text, to shorten the time the under lapping text stays visible - 'like the moment the overlapping text begins it's infinite-scale reduction, fade out the under lapping text.
2) Some of the sequences suffered from the 'finding-the-shot' syndrome - where you are moving the camera around to find a shot that's good, or you are changing the focus of the shot because something better has caught your eye during the Fraps process. To improve this, just trim the shots to exclude the movement, keeping the bits which are still or consistent in their movement.
The film was very good though - the opening with the compression of the vent convos was expertly done. You created a great sense of scale with a very simple technique with this. The pacing was just about spot on, with only the ending feeling slightly abrupt.
Unfortunately, 'Requiem for a Dream' has been overused, not just by the eve-online film makers, but every other video game which has a video making community to it. Not to mention all the adverts and I think 3 movie trailers now? - It is a good piece of music, I personally have heard it too many times for it to have the same impact which it should have for a quality vid like this.
These are niggles to others, but I think you will take these comments as intended.
AK.

not at all bad although I do feel that if you're going to use dramatic build up like that there really should have been a build up in the explosions at the end tbh :)
Only serious gripe i have is you mis-credit the music at the end. The piece of music you used is Requiem For A Tower by Corner Stone Cues which is based off of Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell :)

Awesome!!! Thanks for the heads up about the credits, and the input on the text and ending guys. It's awesome to have people post that they liked the vid, and I love the info on how to make it better too!!! While I won't be revamping this one I'll make sure to take these comments into consideration with the next one.
When this vid was about 80% done I was watching some other vids and realized that the music had been used before, but couldn't bring myself to scrap it. Unless you're composing your own music, or just showing a gank video with some rock slapped on it, you can't really change the music mid stream easily.
I've already found some more music that I think will not be found in other vids and will be just as entertaining.
Keep the criticism coming people!!!!

Those shots would probably be mine, and they're intentional. Somewhat docudrama/BSG style shooting.
