Deathball Trailer

Post by DavidM »

A Deathball Trailer we put together (I made all you can see, Toxeen made the sounds), 17.5 Mb, requires DIVX 5.11

Please show anyone you know etc, pimp at pages or whatever :)
Trying to attract new players....

Very professional, shove it up on the front page pronto and send it around the big unreal news sites :). Only problem i have with it is that it needs to be a bit higher quality, though, it seems rather over-compressed - so much so that I can barely see what's going on half the time. If you can do a higher quality one then you're onto something good.

EDIT: File is now mirrored on db-community.com for your enjoyment.

Superb trailer, the production and presentation are of extremely high standards, which is no less than I would expect from you David :)

Maybe offer two different versions @ different detail levels, to balance out the size/qual issue? You also might want to try using a different codec to divx5 to get better compression and quality. XviD is usually the best when it comes to quality + filesize. This codec comparison might be worthwhile reading.

Other than that, really nice. That works as a very good first-look at the game. The action in the vid is never chaotic, which is what db can look like to the newcomer. Finally, the music + other audio is excellent, and is nicely synced to the visuals, and really creates a good atmosphere.

my fear was that the music wudnt fit to the trailer... well, now that ive seen it i dont know why.

but even the trailer without sound had a better quality, so i hope the raw material is good enough to make a high res version...

XviD 37.31 fps <--- hah, not only the letters are backwards :P


pw: xvid looks exactly the same as divx
als toyed around with divx settings, cant get it better than that it seems

and i cant use too exotic codecs, in the end only 20% can actually watch it

Very nice :)

I liked the attention that was brought to keepers. Hardly any defender attention though /o\ so it seems..

Either way :) apart from quality, lovely movie..and I'm sure some1 will come along and tell you how to make it look a bit better =)

i want to attract people, and you dont do this by showing defenders :P
and the timing, shaking etc stuff isnt very obvious, so nobody would understand whats going on
my first priority was to keep it all clean and obvious
