[Video + AAR] Best. Karbala. Round. Ever. (As COMMANDER)

[Jafar Ironclad]

You did some fantastic work up there, Ghost. Want to talk about the communication that made it work?

[Seagull_Tourney]

Yeah I was on the receiving end of that. I was one of the first to spot the convoy and upon seeing it I knew this round was not going to go well for my insurgent brethren. Almost got a Stryker in the beginning of the round with a bombcar but apart from that I didn't ever have a chance to get a kill until I shot down a LB with my PKM and then the ensuing attack on the 2 caches in the city I got some infantry. One notable moment was when I was a personal bodyguard for a captured HAT in the NW village but he couldn't even peek his head out of a window due to the sheer number of .50 cal rounds flying around blowing up buildings when the cache became known. Was fun as hell to finally go against a challenging US force like that. Looking forward to the video of me being shot a lot by Strykers.

i have over 3 hours of fraps footage (OPFOR, Stryker) from this, condensed down to 30 minutes...

problem is, youtube will only allow 2gb/ 10 minutes maximum upload.

I have to shorten it, video is mostly done and in the hands of another clanmate for post-production. (Ralfidude).


dont worry ill post it ASAP, it was truly THE BEST round of PR i have ever had the pleasure to participate in. i'll get it in your hot hands soon though!

Mac, you could just split it into three 'parts'

The Raid of Fallujah Community Match *the first one* someone recorded and has it in five parts on youtube.

[ralfidude]

We could, but honestly i dont think too many people have the patience to sit through it all. The raid of fallujah was cute and all but i didnt sit through all the videos. I started skimming through after a while.

To make this work im trying to make an interesting intro and outro, but i need to find a map picture of Karbala. Anyhelp with that?

Google image didnt help, i can find other maps, but not this one.

PS: went into prgram files/EA/MODS/PR/levels/KARBALA/ and i see some pic files there for map, but it wont open. apparently, its in PGN format or something and it wont let me open it as anything else either.

PPS: Ghost get in touch with me about ur clips if you havent spoken to Mac yet, we have work to do!!

[Rissien]

Someones done a little adding to it, but I found it on the first page of images on Google. Ddnt look very hard did you Besides, you could always join a local server and screenshot it.

Old Karbala map

[ralfidude]

Ehh, i saw that and i put the same search in, its no good, i need a unmodified version... i guess il take a screenie then...

[Jafar Ironclad]

Question on post production: Is most of the original audio going to be kept?

[Rissien]

Was at work and only saw it on my phone, so ddnt get a good look.

[ralfidude]

its all good Elvish, thnx for ur help.


Regarding post production, its not up to me. The main middle editing is in MACs hands. Il be responsible mostly for the intro and outro. My guess is that yes, we will have the in game comms kept and the likes.

[MAC$DRE]

I think i just watched the final version of my side of the work, got done with scene transitions, mastering audio levels and enhancing the images. the communication (Vent, Voip) will have priority over the music (Mars, The Bringer of War, Gustav Holst).

Were waiting on some recorded video from the LB perspective... which would be awesome but its not showing up in my inbox (WTF GHOST YOU FAIL!)

Intro to video is in its final stages and we are currently compiling names of ppl that participated in the round for the credits/outro clip.



I still have the raw footage 30.7Gb so a multiple video series of the entire round may be in the future highlighting the teamplay that the 10 minute Youtube cap hinders...


Look for a finished product Monday or Tuesday night.... (youtube will take 24 hours before the HD version is available)

[ralfidude]

UPDATE:

I just compiled a choice of three intros for MAC, so that aspect of the video is done.

Ending credits are still not done, waiting for Ghost to get his things sent over...

After i receive that i will do the ending and we will be in business. Be aware, its finals week, so im a bit more preoccupied with that over the video. But i will do my best. I havent even gotten a round of PR in today at all...

[ralfidude]

Well ladies and gentleman, after much hard work by both Mac and myself, we have finished our parts. All that is left is to combine and publish. Be on standby for the final product.

[MAC$DRE]

Here it is, enjoy!

Main post updated with video link.

Thank you so much, Mac$dre and ralfi! When we're all done with finals, we should work on an extended video re-telling of the round, and get other fraps footage people have taken (Ghost a second chance, essentially) worked into it.

For now, good luck with academics!
