Widescreen video... end to end
TheTaintedOne has been working for some time on an 'end-to-end widescreen process' - a technique to capture Halo gameplay footage in true Widescreen mode. His proof of concept is a video called Rocket Festival - taking advantage of a funny glitch in how homing rockets deal with a target on a high point of land, he's melded nice video cuts with great music and an environment that really shines in Widescreen mode. There are two versions - a 7.2 mb WMP9 vid and an 8.2 mb QuickTime vid. (Both are a compromise for Taint - his original movie used anamorphic video (non-square pixels) for true Widescreen - but this requires Windows Media Player 9 on Windows XP to view; the Mac WMP9 ignores the rectangular pixels, and scrunches the film. He re-converted, after changing to square pixels, so that everyone could see the final product.) Comments can go in this (already lively) forum thread. (Louis Wu 21:20:10 UTC)
