The video maker is BACK! Again! And this time with a new video to a trance song. If this movie is in any way derogatory, insulting, shameful, stupid, meaningless, or otherwise harmful to your general health, please throw yourself into a meat grinder =)

Enjoy!

Descent - Hysteria (High res: 50 megs)
Descent - Hysteria (Youtube version pending)

The music is fine... but that's an awful lot of Skybox. It would help if you varied the levels more. Skybox isn't very photogenic. Every corridor looks like the one before it and it's very dark to capture video on. :P

*throws myself into meat grinder!*

I think the problem is that Skybox is played -
  1. pretty much constantly,
  2. with 8+ people, and
  3. with tanks, fusion, napalm, mortars, and 4pack homers, if not also including
  4. megas, BPs, and microwave...
Did I forget anything?

Edit: yes... I forgot to mention that the high-res download is broken, despite
me having temporarily turned on JS and allowed session cookies for the site.
I could view the low-res youtube version via videodl.org though, and the blocks
and artifacts all looked perfectly clear. :)

It felt like random clips where being just cut to the beat of the song. The contrast in action between clips didn't change very much so you couldn't build tension or do much of anything to work with your audience's emotion.

Still, these videos are a lot of fun to make.

I just tested the High-res download and it worked for me. It must be one of your browser settings.

I'm beginning to lose enthusiasm over these videos. They are taking far too long to make, and apparently aren't garnering up a very impressive fanlist, nor being enjoyed nearly as much.

:cry:

No i think we all are waiting for your next video.

As a fan i want you to try this:
listen to a song with your finger on the pause button.
Play it a bit then draw out a few stills of what the video should have. Play another four to ten seconds then draw out some more. Then build your video around these pictures. If you're not doing anything else, we should see a new video here in 3 days.

but i AM doing something else. Lots of stuff. Like programming a game :lol: (stupid memory leaks :( )

Maybe later i will make a new video. I really honestly am getting sick of these music videos, you guys don't like the music that i like and end up not liking my flying either. I want to do some kind of voice actor scripted vid, but i don't have any actors. :cry:

If you want to do a video, maybe you should go observer and record other people fighting.

THREE! I HAVE THREE! :P

They're just large projects :lol:

The last time i used observer mode, people didn't like it. They said they liked flying around better.

:?

Observer mode enables you to fly faster, which tends to annoy Descent players...

Yes, from what I've seen, your time is pretty packed. ;) However, if you're interested, I have an as-yet unreleased, nicely-balanced, fairly pretty level you could do some recording in if you could garner enough players...

No! we love them. keep 'em coming. screw what haters say

Why? There's no fun in making a video if no one is here to enjoy it. I'd rather work on my game, where i have an entire community oogling over it.

Besides, the amount of bias against descent 3 in this community makes me sick.

Nice video. My only beef with is is the flashy transition effects. You might want to look for a video called \"Flail\" for a good example of almost seemless transitions. (You notice them, but its not like they slap you in the face to get you to notice.)
