Dude, Where's My AMS? (Video)

(Not sure if this is the right forum for this, go ahead and move it and PM me if it this is misplaced. Thanks)

This is my first PS video! I think you should all find this highly entertaining and a slightly higher caliber than most PS videos produced. (I have OCD, I strive for quality like a crack addict looking for a fix.)

Check it out, all of the AMS jacking was within about a 10 minute window on Solsar last night. The VS just kept putting up all these AMSes around me! If you were there last night, you might be in the video!

This is the first time I've even installed Premiere in 5 years, so all praise and constructive criticism is welcome.

Jebus, that is one kick-ass video! The music and jacking meshed perfectly, and the confusion of those VS bastards when you jacked their AMS and their Router was just fuckin' hilarious

From one carjackin' cloaker to another: I wub it! two thumbs WAY WAY up! three out of five stars! (only cuz it was a first attempt and I am comparing it to, say, SGpromo)

that was a tight video

What did you use to record it? I have tried the public dl of FRAPs, only to find it slowed down my fps (and I have a fairly high end pc). Great video man!

Yah that was awesome

Thanks guys! I really appreciate your comments.

KIAsan I used the registered version of FRAPS. My PC isn't terribly high end (AMD 2100+, 1024mb PC2700 DDR333, ATI Radeon9800 Pro 128mb) but I found I could maintain acceptable framerates with it recording "Half-Screen". Having a really high RPM (~10,000) Harddrive helps big time. Also note that it will decrease your frame rate to whatever you're recording at. So even if you're used to 160 FPS, you're going to get knocked down to 25 fps since that's the record fps. (This is typical of Film at 25fps, NTSC broadcasts are 29.97fps)

Lol, those guys were blind...there was a VS standing right next to you when you hacked that router and several passed you while you were hacking that ams.

Good video though!

God damn your good

Im glad your on our side haha.

KIAsan · 2004-02-05, 05:12 PM

Thanks byteblock, I will check out FRAPS again. Got the dual raptor harddrives running as a RAID array, so that shouldn't be a problem. I just experienced major lag with the public version, then quickly discarded that idea. So, will try it again with the purchased version.

Thanks again.

www.Malvision.com (only one I know of.) Impressive. Obi-wan has taught you well (Sorry watched return of the jedi yesterday)

Thanks guys, Yea the one at Malvision is really polished. I greatly look forward to future works from them.

There have been a number of other PS movies, some of the better ones are from Sparrow showing off his vicious skeeter piloting. None of them as coherent or polished as Malvision though. And so far as I know, Malvision is the only official site dedicated to the subject. Perhaps PSU should consider making a repository?

BigFreak · 2004-02-06, 03:09 AM

Yea, or at least a board specifically for video releases

Laeritides · 2004-02-06, 04:53 PM

Nice!!!!
