A 3 Minute and 12 second long, looping Vista Pro fly-through which inspired
Ed : The Movie. It's a fly-through
of a 'Red Planet' environment viewed from behind a spaceship, animated in
3D Studio Max, with a thumping Rebirth - distorted guitar soundtrack, all
compressed down to a 208x176 150K/sec, 5 Meg Mpeg
using the freeware encoder TMPGEnc. The original
is a 50 Meg mpeg which plays at about VHS quality video and CD quality audio.
Maximum effect, minimum know-how.
Vista Pro is old, but because it's such a 'simple' landscape renderer it can churn out a 3 minute AVI
faster than anything else. The 3D model is simply overlayed on a transparent (green) background
within Adobe Premiere. Each manoeuver is a 2 to 4 second long event that begins and ends with the
ship back at it's starting point, so the clips can follow each other in any order. The
sequence is dictated by whatever is happening in the background video, so a right turn
suggests the use of a bank-right clip, or ignore the suggestion and achieve a weirder filght,
you can't really lose.
