I want to say Good Luck to all.

It's very fun to participate.

Movie #1 and #2 look to be excellent but they are to dark to see. Might just be my computer.

Anyway, my choice was Mr Flecks. I have seen his work before and it is all imaginative. The real clincher for me was bringing in the British sub. Unexpected and very cool idea.

Well the problem with the darkness is the compression. I have the uncompressed verion on my PC and it looks fine. But compressed all the detail get lost, however if ypu are in a darkrom you should still be able to see the important sections.

Thats really a pity, since the lighted scenes have very nice colors. I guess you put quite some effort in post processing. Including the cool scene in the beginning with the water droplets and the camera shaking: Cinematographic!

(is this an English word?)

Cheers!

Thanx for the kudos AVGWarhawk and Eberhardt!

On my left shoulder there sat a tiny dragon and kept saying "I need more drama, baby!" ... therefore the twist

Cheers!

Great twist. Then again, I have seen your work before and expect nothing less than a good twist with some perfection thrown in for good measure

In fact, I'm going to watch it again.

Hehe, nice to hear this

. In case you attach importance to quality you may want to get the downloadable version before you watch it again since youtube quality is a bit blurry:

I'll keep my fingers crossed for all the submittants! For me the most important thing in this contest is to motivate people to make their own U-Boat movies and movies about naval warfare. There are too less movies covering this topic and there should be more!

Cheers!

Note that in my case, the movie was not made to this occasion and it's a real hazard if I'm present in this contest lol. But you right, it's important to motivate due the incredible work means made a movie.

About the darkness I suppose that the jury can watch all movies in real format and quality it is not ?
But for us who must watch only on YouTube it's a real pity.

About the vote, I think also that "Fate Mr Fleck" is born to win and it is already in my video collection.

Jimbuna · 03-03-09, 04:19 PM

Some great efforts there people....it is really difficult to pick from the pack.

I've two in mind and will make a decision soon.

It's just a pity that the votes can be seen before the individual casts their preference.

Vagaries of the poll feature unfortunately. If I could have held back the visibility of the results I would have. Still no-one but me will know the results for the other categories until I post them.

Not in my case at least since the hd version would be several GB big and I dindnt want to upload that. He got a 3 mbit version which means its still highly compressed but at least way better than youtube.

Regarding the effort put into my video: oh well yes, ot was qiute some work, I guess it took me about 50 hours or so ( preparations like nodding amd ideas for for camera movements etc, the dilming itself with some trial and error and of course a lot of postproduction with AE, what imo makes my video the brst looking one at least in daylight)

But its rewarding when you finallY fonish you piece of work and its something Im proud of and Im still learning. Next time I wont use nightshots

.

Sry for badwritimg I used my Ipod to write this on the go hehe .

The only SH3 night movie that I did was Sink the Hood and it was a pity.
Forced to increase the brightness in WMM and after it still necessary to increase again the brightness of the monitor to watch something...
Finally this movie is good to delete but it was a good moment and I keep it.
