Most of that 50MB is eaten by unencoded audio though. The dimensions of the video is also quite strange. So re-encode the video and encode the audio, please. It'll fit in half the size it eats up now, with much better quality :) It's over 50MB in size and seems to be encoded in XviD, yet the video quality is quite horrible.

I think that Eugene must have seen my post on the forum, and liked what he saw and posted it, simple as that. best wishes Christian Krupa ps which video did you use blender for, i saw the unreal tournament one, but the other two were live action?

I wrote to this blendernation website twice in the last month asking for a posting regarding the video i recently completed using blender (among other tools) and got no reply. i guess you have to be an insider within some silly childish "l33t" group to get any kind of recognition here. it's a good lesson to show why it is probably best to stick with proprietary tools. at least they are honest about their agenda. chances are that this posting will be censored by the same powertripping characters, but in case it is not, go to www.ob3lisk.com to see another example of blender being used by a "real" band. its nice to see that croneyism is alive and well within the so called "community" of blender.

In response to some of the comments, we've used blender for many projects over the last 3-4 years, from title sequences thru commercial work to segments of films we produce ourselves (Terra 2050 produced for channel4) Ive worked with all the major packages in proffesional environments over the years, but now prefer to use blender for several reasons; a The interface and workflow - once you know it, it's simple, quick and effective. b open source - free to use and as many rendering machines as you have, but mainly the community - updates constantly, in response to user need rather than commercial ones. if i had the resources, id definately employ a programmer on a large film project... c speed of the renderer - i can achieve simple results very quickly and tailor the renderer to do pretty much anything i like - maybe not photorealism, but thats rarely in my brief - i ese 3d as a creative tool unlike any other, like renaissance artists, we follow use and develop whatever's available to us for our clients. sorry about the format, i just posted a link that the record company had made, im not sure on the rights for distributing this piece. I would have liked to have sent it to Boston this week, but the notes for contributing to the reel said that it was going to be open source too, something that the client may not have liked.... though it may still appear in 3d world if we get our sh*t together... finally thanks for all your comments, im very glad you liked it as it represents our ability to deliver good work using the finest piece of 3d software I know! cheers Christian Krupa ps Hackney's been pretty hot recently, guess the olympics are going to be damn hot when they get here in the magic year of 2012!
