Another music video looks for homes
Phear X has created another music video, and is looking for hosting, as well. It's pretty standard Halo gameplay (there's some fun stuff at the end) set to Rob Zombie's 'Dragula'. While I'm loath to discourage new creative material, this video has a few issues;
- It's pretty big (there are two flavors, a 33 meg version and a 16 meg version - it's 3 and a half minutes long)
- Unfortunately for Phear, the subject material has been done - a LOT; it concentrates on the beach scene of Silent Cartographer, and there are literally dozens of movies that came out of E3 using similar footage
- It's not very high-quality video (this is due to the capture source, a digital camcorder - it's acceptable, but nowhere near crisp)
All that said, we'd be happy to facilitate the mirroring for anyone who wants to help out. Drop us a line if you're able to help, and we'll get you the movie. (Part of the reason for elaborating here was to make it clear that if you want to make a movie for the community, you should consider finding a niche. Aaron Suhr did that admirably - his footage was fantastic, in terms of its novelty. Video is too big, and bandwidth costs too much, for folks to want to host a lot of the same-old, same-old.) Update: Both flavors (well, the big one right now, the small one very shortly) have found their first mirror on the Psyjnir Complex Hotline server. Go take a look! (Louis Wu 23:26:59 UTC)
