the first step in my scholastics at the SAE was taken last friday.

The task for the final examination was to make a video trailer for the game Need For Speed Most Wanted(TM).

Anyway, I switched to another direction and built a small story that plays in the city of Rockport. Rockport is a huge city, the scene where the whole game plays in.

I had only three days to compose and cut the whole audio( two music tracks, some voice recordings, audio from the game)

The project brought me much, I never combined video, green screen recordings, 3D modelling and audio stuff together.

Song link goes to the second music track of the movie. My first work in logic express on a MAC.

Here is the heavy compressed video, you need divx codecs to play it. 38mb in size.
Also the whole work on the video is done on a MAC(except the butterfly).

I am really green to this kind of projects, so please be patient :smile:

Maybe the files are 48kHz, so you have to change your samplerates, also I haven´t got time to make a precise mastering of the whole audio in the vid.

Hi Chris, we listened to this while someone was playing the actual game here :grin:

First impressions are that it sounds REALLY cool, but maybe not quite 'upbeat' enough for NFS. It's got quite a sort of 'Floyd' like ambience which sounds great, but is maybe lacking some energy for the game in question? Not 100% sure though, what do you think?

Agreed to you shroomz.
It´s absolutly not an usual nfs track.
But it was planed as it is, because I have 24 other students in my class and I guess 95 percent of them used those upright beats we know. :smile:
Also I know the taste of music that is liked by the person that judges the projects :wink:

Together with the video I like it but it is a bold mixture agreed.

Ok, so you have alterior motives :smile: I think that's ok in this context!! After all, your success in the SAE course is important in this respect!

Best wishes,
Shroomz

Like the track very much Chris, but when I play the video file, I only get audio; no video (and that's after installing the latest divx bundle - v6.4).

Any ideas why that might be?

Counterparts - if you're oon a Mac... then try this:

http://perian.org/

I also have Flip4mac installed - so I'm not sure which one is working for me or if they are working in combination - but I have no problem playing any video format I have come across so far... including the divx files that usually gave me the same symptoms as you are experiencing with this file - i.e sound only with a white video.

I don´t have a glue Royston, sorry.
Thanks for the perian thing, maybe this will work.

If nothing helps give me a sign and I´ll upload the vid with another codec used.

The vid fulfilled the guidelines and brought me an A, 1, or 100 percent.
Anyway it´s not so special.

Thanks for your replies.
