Mini-Me 24 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 Which one ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mini-Me 24 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 I like Joe's idea, it's more like VC, but related to BTTF. You could put more silhouetts next to each other if they are too big Yep, didn't think of this. If they are close enough together it might be ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 I would say be more creative and don't try to show its roots to gtavc. And what else. Theres only one of my vids thats an opening one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mini-Me 24 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 Since we already are speaking of such an artwork, I pretty much like this kind of menu background: Ours is a little to un-readable to my mind... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RG 1 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) Which is why I turned the brightness of the background picture pretty low for my copy of mod Edited October 28, 2009 by RGi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Statler 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 Ours is a little to un-readable to my mind... your right about that, it's always a b*tch to change the control settings with the current background. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 214 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 @Joe, I was planning on using the VC theme, both as a nod to VC itself, and ricardodudes earlier mod intro. I am also planning on doing silhouettes as well, that montage part will only get 3 to 4 seconds of screen time in the finished version. I would say be more creative and don't try to show its roots to gtavc.Actually I went back to using that theme because I wanted to give a nod to VC. Since it's the stock music we shouldn't get in trouble for using it, since all we're doing is replacing the video footage that it played over. Unless you are going to finish you piano bttf cover and i'll use that? @Mini-Me, have you not used the new fonts.txd? I can see everything perfectly with the updated version.

bluespace88 9 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 nah, it doesn't fit for an opening. Maybe if you wanted something sad....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 214 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 needs to be at least a little bit upbeat for an intro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 well, To Zanarkand worked well as an intro to FFX, but that was more of a love story then the fun adventurous bttf story. If we were doing knight rider to the future, I would not hesitate to use this as the intro " width="600px" height="361px"> " /> Its short, doesn't drag, to the point, and gives you glimpses into awesome things that you could do.

Mike 214 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 How's this? I want to add a rear profile shot of the delorean to the upper left just to balance it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 214 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 Well, your's was just a test. I did spend quite a bit of time cutting that thing out though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Statler 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 I don't like the Mr. Fusion poking out. But that's just my preference of TM speaking, not artistic criticism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 214 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 easy enough to colour that part back in, which i might do not that you've mentioned it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timetrain 11 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 Do you know what Chroma Keying is? And does your video editor have it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Statler 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Of which I know of Final Cut Pro, Premiere, Pinnacle Studio, and Vegas have it. But those are the only ones I've used before. When I was in Video Tech in high school we used chroma keying for our school news program and our special projects. FCP always worked best but we also used Premiere which did a great job.

timetrain 11 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 Well Chroma Keying is taking a certain color on a picture and basically making it clear for the layer below it. I took some random images from Back to the future, cut them out, did a lot of photoshop work to them and got these: There's a few more I did but I didn't feel the need to post them all. Now to be able to do anything with those in a video editor you have to be able to Chroma Key out the green. Here's a quick clip I through together in 10 minutes of what you could do with these images to get the VC into effect. Trust me when I say I can do way better than that.

Joe Statler 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Yea, those images need some filler, there's too much what looks like shading effect. Edited October 29, 2009 by Joe Statler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 I'd be a bit miffed that I can't see anything at all. One explosion was like covered up halfway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Statler 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 Well, the silhouettes in the stock VC intro were more like mike's and my silhouettes, not TT's. Well IMO it's easier to do it my way since I just edited an image of a Delorean and saved it as a .png file. I'm guessing that's what Mike did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
