Again, it's stunning. Amazing quality, both the idea and the movie itself. In another thread you told me that you uploaded a HD version. I've watched the HD version and the quality is superb for a SL movie.

How did you get this quality? I just made my first video. Captured in a 1024x768 window in Fraps, then edited it in Vegas as a 640x480, then rendered it as a Quicktime movie and after that exported it as MP4 and uploaded to YouTube.

Is it just a matter of size to get the sharpness that your movie has? Could you please describe the steps that you took to get this fabulous quality, if I may ask?

I congratulate you very much on this amazing movie.

Very cool.

A simple and cute little story to really show off Windlight and Shadow Viewer. The HD just lifts it to superb visual quality.

EDIT: lol at the warning on the product "Warning: Does not actually reverse time. Cannot be used to un-say things, or un-kill yourself. Cannot help you un-remember that night you woke up next to the ogre-woman."

As always, a stunning movie :) You certainly have the 'eye' for angles, tempo and pace of movie making, love your work.

I have a couple of the 'shadows' clients, most produce fuzzy capture data, and the avatar feet are in the ground, this one looks cool.. where oh where can I get one? ;)

I capture with Fraps in a 1280x720 window, then edit, and sometimes I do one thing sometimes another (because I don't really know what I'm doing heh), but for that one I made it a wvm at about 7000 kbps at the same image size.

It's not the most fab quality I've ever seen, but I'm inching my way up ;-D

Thank you for your praise - it means a lot to me.

AWM, high praise indeed, thank you very much! I used Boy Lane's Shadow Viewer, which is somewhat bleeding edge. There were a few bugs I had to work around but overall it's fantastic, with very decent fps. No AA is a bear, however.
