see, that was my original plan too, but my days off are so convoluted, it might not be a choice.

Good luck being, sneaky

We're fucking mental for even attempting this.

Just throwing that out there - we're shooting tomorrow.

Target locked.
We have a go.

Heh. It wouldn't break the movie, but I'd prefer you didn't.

Helpful export settings, if you're using something to trim down your clips, or re-size them. This is for the use of Quicktime, you can put these settings into QT Pro (thirty bucks or so, it just unlocks other features in regular Quicktime, such as export) or After Effects, or Final Cut, or anything that writes out to Quicktime.

When you're ready to export something, set up your Quicktime settings thusly. (In QT Pro, this is available in an "Options" box when you click File -> Export.)

Use MPEG 4 Video, key frames automatic, restrict data rate to 3,500 kbits/sec. If you have a "compressor quality" slider, set it to high. Sound can be left uncompressed, or set to AAC 44.100 kHz Stereo, 128 kbps.

Remember, I'm only outputting the final at 720x480 or so, so if you have HD footage, you could halve the frame size to 960x540 and still give me more than enough. You might want to consider this if you have a lot of footage, just to save yourself time on exports and uploads. You can change the output resolution in the QT output dialog you'll already have open, by clicking "size."

If you're not going to trim anything (and you certainly don't have to if you don't want to), that's cool too, just toss the footage on the FTP.

Thanks guys! The more I see, the more confident I am that we've got a winner here. A weird, weird winner.

Think we could get a "Special Thanks" list in the video description? I bet all of us have friends helping us out that will otherwise get no recognition.

Yep.

Hey Brent Spiner has submitted stuff? Neat!

Just wait for Peter Jackson to submitt 48fps stuff. In 3D.

True of all of us, I assume.

Did my shooting today. I think I'm going to win the award for most takes. I got out of the car in three different locations.

Sounds like fun.

1. Loud and medium speed. I can go fast but it muddles

2. Canadian

3. I pretty much don't hate anything

4.My limitation is I drive a cavalier

5. Nope

6. John Carpenters the Thing
