[gregg1944553]

comment pending approval?

[PotatoHandle]

Nobody watches that far; except me apparently. >_>

Cool effects, I'm thinking of trying something similar to that Notes hittin ght Frets thing you have going there, with Rock Band when I get a decent handy-cam.

[TheSlothStyle]

This was awesome! Can you show me how to do effects and stuff? I'm so interested! This song is also awesome!

[devweeman]

[dfensie]

No idea what to say. More specific?

[thecardman137]

sweet effcts

[RaIdErKiD78]

what song is this?

[gvereb11]

Incubus

[fan1o1]

how do u do that effect with the notes coming at u plz reply =(

[dfensie]

Matte with Shake 4.5, filters, layer it all - 4 separate pieces - then place over video of me jamming. It's actually pretty simple if you know how to rotoscope :)

[fan1o1]

thanks! =D

[dfensie]

Don't know if i deserve thanks, it's a terrible, terrible explanation!

Essentially you matte out the parts you don't want. Duplicate the frets. Using color correction create a layer of video for each color of button, then layer that together.

[IaTeBrEaKfEsT]

what do you use for your effects like what program please tell me ive ben looking for ever

[dfensie]

Composition with Shake 4.5, most effects made in there as well.

[percybeth]

Great effects!

[othmarli]

absolut geile Effekte! super gemacht!

[icansk8better]

awesome man!

[bigboee415]

what song is this Yo?

[asianator2]

stellar - incubus

its from the first guitar hero

[xhackzorleetx]

wow you have a future in the video editing world...you could do that to basically anything and make it look awesome nice work man i like it alot

[RSMASTER236]

nice effects

[dbubendorf]

Awesome editing dude, if I upload a video of me playing Through the Fire and Flames by Dragonforce on GH3, would you be able to do something sweet for it?

[dfensie]

i'd have to have good quality assets (youtube videos aren't nearly good enough), but who knows? sure? lol

[otter987654321]

awesome editing dude!

[hugmark23]

very nice dude age love dis video

[fashow69]

very nice work what software did you use to edit this??

[dfensie]

Final Cut Studio and Shake 4.5

[race1717]

How did you do the affect on your guitar? I also need to know how to add in the gameplay stuff on the video like that.

[dfensie]

There are essentially 3 different elements in that video. First, is the video of me. Second is the user interface from the game - the fret, and the two meters. Then there is the cool effect - the notes flying at my fingers.

I'm just the background video. On that is a layer of video with the objects masked IN. Then, I use Shake to motion gather info and remove anything that doesn't change pixels consistantly.

POut that together, and BAM.

[race1717]

What about the light effect on your first star power?

[dfensie]

Just a glow effect with a few tweaks.

[milodaph]

omg ur totally awesome at guitar here you should b ein a contest where you win money!

[lilme222]

nice effects

[shadowmansm1]

Hey, I love the artistic approach you used for this video, really makes it stand out! Also, A+ ont he video quality and A on the play through, you could 100% that.

[dfensie]

Could have4 takes in a row on the same song the drive died :) lol

[1crabby14]

you should post this vid for my guitar hero vid contest

[ZamboniTrouble]

Ya used Johnny Nalpalm

[dfensie]

Used what?

[ZamboniTrouble]

Johnny Nalpalm's fret Line from Guitar Hero 1

[race1717]

Johnny Napalm is a character in that game.

[ZamboniTrouble]

yeah I know that and that's what his fret line in the video

[dfensie]

couple different songs, as far as I know - the big deal for next-gen is the ability to download new songs as they are released. Keeps the game alive, for me at least.

Of course, the ps2 versions are totally hackable to add any songs...

[dfensie]

Guitar Hero is Guitar Hero. Sure, there are prettier graphics on the next gen systems, but I have yet to meet someone who plays guitar hero and doesn't ahve their eyes glued on the fret bar. And that can only be so pretty.

[dfensie]

PS2 - Check the date. Month before the 360 was out :)

[xSiNxInferno]

lol yur funny

[ZamboniTrouble]

How did u add the meter thing onto your vid dude ya know the fret line

[dfensie]

Compositing - key out and matte out what you don't want, then layer.

[shzzle8dizzle]

oh, its stellar. love that song. its relatively an easy song but good job man! love the effects. 5 stars for you :D

[zackscriven]

sick

thats so cool to see the notes being hit coming at the guitar

[pjppjp24]

what song is this, cz it sounds like it could be incubus, and i never got a chance to play GH1..

please tell me..

[dfensie]

incubus - stellar. You got it :)

[rowrowmrmoo]

I really like this video ^__^ The song is cool and I like the effects you put into it. Very nice :3

[yohobojz]

that was an awesome video especially if u had 100% it, but thats okay i guess

[dfensie]

I'll say again - I made it not to get 100%, but to look cool. I think it looks cool. :(

[xeryph]

Amazing affects man, very well put together.

[bidinasmallroom]

effects

[xeryph]

Oh thanks for the correction, I knew that, was just a typo.

[joedaroo1]

Cool vid

[QueenofNFG]

Amazing song.

Amazing effects.

Basically an amzing video.

Kudos.

[akadylan]

nice effects

[beffie182]

yeah really nice effects!!

was it played on medium or hard?

[shagadelicbabyya]

easy = 3 keys

medium = 4 keys

hard = 5 keys

expert = 5 keys x2 speed

figure it out

[beffie182]

i know i have all 4 guitaer hero's but it doesn't look like the expert version so i thought i was hard (since theres orange) so its actually quite dumb i said medium

so..is it hard or expert?

[shagadelicbabyya]

probably expert cause of the speed

[beffie182]

but it looks so slow =O

Well relatively to GH 3 it does

[Jesusvera123]

nice effects man

[arnoni11]

i say whos got no life play the real guitar not a game..lololol

[dfensie]

Yeah, I would prefer to be a penniless musician with ideas of unrealistic self-importance. :)

[McGuinty1]

fuck i wish i could give you five thumbs up for that comment, but I can't even give you one because you're the video poster. Attention, all "real" guitarists: GH isn't the end of the guitar. Some kids who play GH will go on to pick up real guitar and become famous, then write songs that will be included in future GH games! The rest will have fun playing a wicked game.

[warlockt]

ur looking just like one of my teachers! XDD

[dfensie]

Just wait - in enough time you'll be old too :)

[dfensie]

Shake 4.1 - great proggie

[greazytrisgut]

awesome show and it looks like your a normal person instead of one of those dicks who do nothing but play all day

[DITP666]

cool effects

[XxObY00XX]

the effects on this vid are amazing

[AnarchKidsProduction]

i can 100% this song

[poetnk]

heh.. fun video. Nice little effects.

[AFireInside005]

Well...Its not that this isnt a complete and total hands down great video....Its that stellar is in my opinion the easiest song in GH1....I can 100% every time.

[dfensie]

Not disagreeing with you.  I just love the song.

[rh117]

WINNAR

or at least you should be

[xGuitaRxxHer0x]

what song is this?

[aznk3n123]

incubus - stellar

[dezomica]

yaaaaa ok only way id think you would automatically win a contest is to beat Jordan with a 95% or better.

[1337skater]

no one won cause the didnt judge it or something.

[hmcsniper]

didnt that freddy guy win? i think you should have won if you didnt, and if its the same one im talking about.

[bballpro192]

did u win?

[jarred4455678]

that was incredidle

[v1llath3n00bk1lla]

wow nice man. i can beat this song almost perfect. i wish i had a camera and i had the editing skills.

[techdecker84]

awesome editing

[dfensie]

thanks man :)  I'm setting up to do anything one with some new effects i've learned.

[cameronbd]

omfg what system was that on !?!..i lik ethat song but mine ddoesnt have it

[dfensie]

ps2 Guitar Hero 1 - you can get it as a download on the360 (i think)

[cameronbd]

oh ok...

[cameronbd]

thanks

[waves68]

omg if 1 more person bitches about how real guitar is bettter im gonna shove a real guitar up thier ass and beat them with a guitar hero guitar

[PunkStreak00]

lmao

[Hexen939]

Song is pretty Easy

[dfensie]

You must be cool.

[quietsaint]

I'm not going to play a toi like that! I suggest to start REAL guitar playing, it's much much much much more fun than a guitar hero, when you learn those basic things about guitar...

[jreed136]

I don't think people play Guitar Hero seeking an authentic guitar playing experience.

Chill.

[techdecker84]

love how u made the note come to your guitar

[SkateVapour]

i think freddie w one was better but yours is cool too

[Terith101]

great idea with the fret buttons

[Tjwak99]

come on man, this song is cake to 100 percent

[dfensie]

lol. I miss one note...everyone is a critic :)

[Riverboy1986]

2 notes actually =P

[sjglasgow]

effects got in the way of gameplay sometimes

[zooofazie]

THANKS! ~%)

[zooofazie]

whats the song? ~%)

[dfensie]

Incubus - Stellar.  Great song.

[Phanxo87]

Cool da video... very good... da edition.. exelent!!...

[tRiViUm256]

woo cool vid man.

[Kenburn7]

great job dude, good camera angles, loved the fret burning. Great job 5/5

[Meksican0]

pretty fuckin good!! I'm guessing u chroma keyed the black for the effects. Awesome job man.

[dfensie]

Yeah - using primatte in Shake 4.5. If you haven't screwed around with it, let me know - i'd lvoe to share some experience on it.

[Woger6]

Oh, i really like the effect you added to the video (notes to the finger tips). Very well done.

[dondillon]

10 stars.

Thats a shame you didnt win the contest, you should have, I saw your competition, and they weren't that great.

Amazing Editing and great song!

[dfensie]

Thanks man. To my knowledge they never even announced who did win. :( lameness

[goodyourself]

that thing u did were they wer going into the buttons was siiiickk

[Reandu9821]

That sucks :-/. Sure enough looks like you deserved to win, Stellar is sure not an easy song to play on expert; fast paced ect. I have yet to see someone ace Freebird on Expert :P

[Reandu9821]

Mr. Brown, you sir own face. :) and Mac FTW.

[dfensie]

You own my face for the ownage of that comment. Thanks man - and yes - macs FTW :)

[Reandu9821]

So did you end up winning that contest?

[dfensie]

nope. never found out who did either....

[thebesttexmex]

nice editing

[gmsteuart]

hey dude what software did you use to make/edit this?

[dfensie]

Final cut pro, motion, and shake - the apple suite

[RavemasterWright]

so for the people like me who don't understand what that is, can you tell me where i can download it from?

[dfensie]

possibly torrents - but if you don't have a mac, you're SOL. They are expensive proggies.

[RavemasterWright]

Well i don't know what SOL is but since i haven't got a mac i'm screwed aren't I.

[dfensie]

sol = s*** outta luck. sorry :-/. On windows, your best bet is to pick up Avid from a torrent site - it's comparable, just not what i've used.

[RavemasterWright]

ok then thanks for the help!!!

[lukeyblunt]

and i fort i was good

[firefoxdude]

wow, awesome dude...the visual effects were sweet!

[silenttrag3dy]

[danembraceddc]

[jeradsloan]

[shadow6sic6]

[Jmk55]
