Uploading has been a nightmare. It's finally hosted in four parts on filefactory. To re-assemble select all four files, select extract and put them all in one directoy, WinRar (which is free software) will do the rest.
Ride the Serpent productions presents:
Hard to Swallow
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
My first pvp video. Solo and very small gang low sec PvP. 95% Geddon action with a small dosage of Abaddon action. Songs are listed in the credits at the end.The Fraps, minus the stuff when I'm still in BB, was collected over a two week period or so.
Plenty of mistakes but it's real PvP, I mess up. (lol at the fight where I had some looted rounds in my cargo, kept messing up ammo selection, let that ishtar live etc). Overall it was a lot of fun to get the fraps footage.
Feedback is appreciated.
Technical Stuff:
This is my first attempt at a PvP video and it was a nightmare.I'd love some tips for my specific problems. If you guys can suggest anything I'd be grateful. I used fraps, window's media player and paint.
It's huge, I encoded it using the window's encoder since Dark's just generated error messages for me. I'm sure it's possible to get a better size with his, but it wouldn't work for me.
Adding the blackbox over my convos that also updated kills/deaths was an absolute pain. Especially since I had to manually create images for each time the fight sides changed.
To make it worse rendering it changed the display under the black boxes, making it look a bit worse. I went back and edited the source files for all 50+ of them but WMM didn't change the 'project' to reflect that. I didn't feel it was worth going back through and re-adding the whole title layer bit by bit for that. However, there are a few bits with the 'improved' black boxes. The descrpencies make it worse imo.
Next video ought to have that corrected for. I really want someome to tell me there is an easier way ;p.

It keeps asking for a 5th rar file.
Some idiot didn't upload the fifth file. I'll get it up asap.

As I said, first movie, tons of problems ;p
Picked up adobe premier, will send dark a mail in game to see about getting his encoder to work for me. So that'll improve the next one some.
Speed problem? As in fights too slow? Most are 2x speed. Faster than that?

Very nice vid, although I have to say...(and this is no disrespect to quality pirates like Kessah I see in the thread) but omg, it just goes to show how many wannabe pirates there are out there. There were several fights where you should have been ganked senseless, but grats for engaging and coming out on top. Some of those camps need to re roll...
As an ex pirate myself, I had to close my eyes at their incompetence 
Great vid, and you showed some brass balls engaging odds that were not favourable.
However, I have already asked my locater agents of your whereabouts...please NEVER EVER use Ken and barbie songs, or that ridiculous camp trance high pitched mutilation of a foreigner track again....just dont ever do it again 
NEVER EVER do it again 
PS: next time stick the neut on the sleip so he wont MWD away
I start the fight 29km from the sleip and he is MWDing away.
