    "Gonna be epic" - FireStorm Paintball - 6/8/13

    Small crowd, but had a good time last weekend. Here's a video from one game:



    Don't know how to embed here. [yt] and [youtube] tags didn't work. Forum search turned up nothing.

      Good editing, love the caption and fast forwards, hate to see raw footage for no reason.
      And the explanations were awesome. Now you need more videos so go play often

        Thanks! I'm no editing pro, but with Google and YouTube tutorials I can figure out how to implement a few things that help keep it entertaining. I also dislike videos that have a lot of footage of the player constantly staring off into seemingly nothing. Recon and general movement are necessary in the game, but they're pretty boring to watch (hence, the >> fast forward >> parts, lol)

          Yeah, common problem with most action camera like GoPro, Contour.. etc is that they have very wide field of view, where as human eye is more around 50mm on 35mm film scale. So in other words the camera doesn't pickup all the action going on since it's so far away that it's only filling few pixels in the distance.

            I think FF is the way to go for these kinds of vids. I'd do it myself but I haven't found an editor that I like. Speaking of -- which editor did you use? It kind of looks like it murdered your video.

            Technically I guess I could script it up via avidemux. Basically, only recode for the FF sections, and do a straight copy for the normal sections so no quality is lost.

            Good vid though; we need more warp/q-loader first person vids so people can see what it's like.
            "Accuracy by aiming."


            Definitely not on the A-Team.

              I'm using my Contour in 720p60fps mode. Then I use Sony Vegas, make all the edits and additions, and then render using an Internet 720 preset. The rendered file on my computer looks quite a bit better than what gets put on YouTube. YouTube basically just butchers everything. It probably doesn't help that this video was finished uploading about 4 a.m. this morning. I'm not sure how long it takes YT to process everything and start showing stuff in higher quality, but my videos seem to look better once they've been uploaded on the site for several hours.

              I agree! I absolutely love no hopper on top of my marker, both for playing and for making action videos. It's really nice to not have anything blocking the view while shooting.

                  There are ways to ensure better quality after youtube has re-compressed your video. http://www.streamingmedia.com/Articl...lts-83876.aspx

                      Thanks! I'm going to read that this evening and tweak my rendering preset. From a quick scan, might have to look up how to use a denoise filter too.

                        Cool Video. You really needed a few more targets. Where is this field located? I saw a few listings for Firestorm Paintball.

                          There used to be a FireStorm Paintball in Florida a few years back, but that's not us. They went out of business it seems, and I'll admit I have gotten a couple phone calls from people thinking they were booking a game in The Sunshine State. We run our field as part of a not-for-profit ministry, hosting a couple scenario games each year and some monthly games inbetween. Here's us: http://firestormpaintball.com
