Hello fellow BF2 fans

Me and some clanmates just finished our first BF2 film, and would like to share it with you.
The movie is about 5 minutes and consists of a series of small clips. There is no storyline, but the movie is supposed to put a smile on your face... that is, if you agree with our sense of humor (or lack thereof)

We put a lot of time and effort into this, so we hope you enjoy it
Comments are most welcome (here or on YouTube).

Watch it here on YouTube in "HD:"

Lastly I would like to mention that we created a new tool to make life with BattleRecorder a bit easier, with a GUI and features such as batch rendering of recordings. If interested, you may read more about it (and see screenshots) here:

See you on the battlefield!

Best regards
Henrik, aka Gaffa! Geemark

Wow - Thank you all for the kind words... That makes it all worthwhile

I guess since we can't play BF2 very well, there had to be something else we were a little better at

nice vid, great quality.

I'm just starting to experiment with making videos. can you tell me what video size your rendering that works best for youtube HD? (1280x960 or 1280x720?)
and what codec are you using before uploading?

thanks!

Actually we did the BF2 renderings in 1280x960, but the final video is in 1280x720 (by removing parts of top/bottom). The reason is, that if you render directly in 1280x720 in BF, the whole scenery and characters are sqeezed a bit flatter, like when you play it on a widescreen monitor resolution.

The final output is an AVI with the video codec being XviD (MPEG-4), and the audio codec being mp3.

YouTube has some general recommendations here also: http://help.youtube.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=132460&topic=16612

Good luck with your experiments
