Topic: NOTICE: Fourth test, much improvement, new test styles. Comment!

Hey guys I've got my fourth test made, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU07ySsR … e=youtu.be
It's 26 seconds long the longest of the 4, and I'm happy with it, in this I did many different things that I didn't do in the others such as put in opening credits and ending credits, also tested today a lego typing and a lego walking and turning on corners, which was well done though the typing was overly fast which I will need to work on, but check it out and tell me what you think, I also fixed the arm movement while the lego is walking last time some people said the arms at times were wider than other times, this time i feel it is in perfect position through out the film so you should be pleased!

Also I got myself Sony Vegas 9, which I'm really excited on but need a lot of tips on it for brickfilming so anyone who has experience and is willing to help I would really appreciate it, and defiantly add you's in the credit of my films to show my appreciation.

The question was mainly conerning how to get 15 FPS and how to pause frames on Sony Vegas so I could add voices into individual frames, for example; ''I have heard off no such beast'' If i was to pause 2 frames how would i achieve this?

Thanks in advance guys.

How about we keep it all under one thread.  Tired of seeing 4 different threads popping up from you.

Don't misquote and you don't need to have so many threads on your animation progress.  One is good enough.

Actually, Lechnology is an admin on these forums. When I saw all of the posts from you I thought it would be better to have them all in one thread too. Why don't you like this idea?

People will comment regardless if each test is in a separate thread or not.

Most people post test videos every so often, but you're posting a new test every day. If you're going to post tests that frequently, it's better to make one thread and update it with more tests as you make them. Making a new topic for every test you make, when you're making them as frequently as you are, clutters up the forum.

It might be a good idea to have all these topics merged.

Nice job! You're really improving. mini/smile
A few things I want to mention: The walk cycle looked great! Though, the arm movements were a little to exagerated. try make them a little smaller. (Unless you were going for an exagerated look) I also saw you switched camera angles in the middle of the walk cycle, that's fine, but try switching the angle more. like moving it to the other side, or something. It just looks a little jumpy/jittery. As for the question about how to pause frames, I would do that in MJ. It's a lot easier.
One last thing: in the Youtube desc. of the video, you said you want to make longer films soon. You should wait to make longer films. It's best to start out with small films, then work your way up to larger films.

Hope this helped. mini/smile

@repelling spider sorry for the late reply look I guess you and minifig are right, i do apologize infact I am embarrassed you got involved i am a big fan of your video's, and understand I should have just post them under thread, I won't be posting so often anyhow, and when i do I'll keep it in one thread, so i apologize for that Repelling spider, minifig and Lechnology I wasn't looking for trouble, and didn't relise you were an admin whether or not, I should have taken the advice which I will from now on.

@Minifig Thanks for the advice to It is appreciated, I will take more precaution from now on.

@MrLegoProductions Thanks for following up my films I really appreciate your noticing that the fact im improving and were I have a few flaws so it is very appreciated, switching the camera was a first for me so that's why it didn't work as I would have hoped, I like MJ but i'm confused with the fact when you add audio how do you put certain amounts, I have noticed when you put for instant a 10 second video when i move it to certain frames it doesn't stay it just stays up the top or it just copies itself so if you could help there it'd be much appreciated, Also do you know any tutorials for sony vegas or monkeyjam for doing the pauses to add the voices so you know how to continue making a smooth job yet having the voices to fit perfecting with the frames?

Cheers guys.

don't put the audio in MJ, you should do it in vegas. It's a lot easier to work with. I don't know of any tutorials for pausing, so I'm going to tell you what I do for that: First, pick the frame you are going to pause.

http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z354/mrlego15/Example.jpg

Then just click the bottom part and drag it down as much as you want.

try to match it up with the audio as best as you can. mini/smile

This.

It doesn't matter how great your camera is, it matters how large the image files are.
Even though my camera is worse than yours (C910 Vs. C920) my videos would be better looking because the images are 720p, not 380p. (As in your example.)
Upping the images to 720p will solve your problem. mini/wink
