Server Olympics - Development

This isn’t the best timelapse, but there’s a behind the scenes video that goes with it explaining the reverse filming, “camera” track etc.

Wow, these videos are old. It’s the same guys that have done all the official minecraft trailers as well as their own stuff. Microphones sound so shit in this video. SO LONG AGO! They’re also buddies with FyreUK, played an adventure map made specifically for them by FyreUK, heh.

OMG how could I forget hat films!?! Minecraft Xbox 360 memoriessssssss :grin:

That is brilliant liam … i want to do one

We can easily do that for the stadium. Put a track in it rather than the pool to make it easier, then demolish from the front to the back to give a cross section of it :stuck_out_tongue:

Just curious, Why does AGx have a VIP seat? Wont he be recording?

Yes @legotrooper123 , he payed for the seat so he can have it! I also have one and now that you mentioned it, I will probably don’t need it! So I will give my seat to someone that I think that deserves it :slight_smile:

I guess it’s up to AG whether he does the same. I’ll be flying around invisible quite a bit too, but I’ll probably still use mine.

I am sitting in the poor seating area :smiley:

Perhaps Spllat would give you his seat or something I dunno. IF YOU WANT IT JUST ASK YEESH PEN ONE JOB PFFFFT.

HELL NO!

Good call my young padawan.

Hahah honestly I don’t care :stuck_out_tongue:

I will still be using my seat lego as I will only be recording the finals and possibly semi-finals since editing the videos takes quite a bit of time.

Do we have participants yet?

Yes, we have some participants so far.

Do you need any more?

You can join us if you want :wink:

I would LOVE to join!

I have a question, real quick, specifically directed at @AGx.

I know you’ve got YouTube coverage of the events done pretty much (and its a job very well done, I might add). However, you mentioned that you would only be recording the (semi-?)final matches because it would take you awhile to edit video.

I’ve also checked the info regarding broadcasting that’s been posted at the warp. I’m confused as to whether those positions are for recording or for live streaming (“broadcasting” generally implies that it is being produced live? At least I made that assumption), although I assumed it was for recording, since you mention capture quality and stuff.

So, I’m asking, if nobody has bothered calling dibs on it yet, would you mind if I end up live streaming the events on Twitch or elsewhere? I’ve got a Wirecast setup pretty much ready, although I must say that my upload speeds are quite dismal (can handle stable upload speed of ~1100 Kbps, about enough to handle 640p@60fps or 720p@24fps). Thus, if someone else with better speeds could manage to do so, I would not object to having them do it instead. I’m planning to whip up lower third graphics, title graphics, and all sorts of stuff - the kind of filler stuff that NBC plasters all over its feed every time they cover the Olympics. Wirecast also conveniently has features for scoreboards and stuff like that too.

After all, the event will be held around the middle of summer, so I should have plenty of time to stick around and stream.

Lastly, I’ve got an update for you regarding that brief idea I mentioned in-game earlier. Wirecast does accept remote feeds, so in theory, I could accept multiple camera angles from other players. However, the issue lies in the further deterioration of video quality as I must start downloading live footage from other players.


If the stuff on the board at the warp is actually for live streaming and not recording, then I guess I wouldn’t mind signing up to help as long as nobody minds my sucky video quality.
