I'm an Asshole: Crackdown Style

This is a video I made using Crackdown footage set to Denis Leary's song "Asshole".

I recommend you watch it in high quality.
Enjoy.

ha ha very cool and well done.

Cagey · **Posted:** 31 Jul 2008 - 7:33 pm

Nicely done

How long did that take to put together? Weeks I'd say?

Barry the SuperScot · **Posted:** 01 Aug 2008 - 12:30 am

Thanks.

And yeah, took a few weeks. It was just a case of getting the shots really then arranging them. Trying to think what would look good for each part and what would be relevant.
Was fun though.

I like how each shot acually coincides with the song, unlike 90% of other video game music videos on youtube.
Its a shame I think the song is shit though, cos I could probably appreciate it more if i didn't.

big fucking 'Wow' man. I'm serioulsy impressed with that. Love it.

I do like game footage put to songs , but as has been said already, most are shit. The way stuff fits with the lyrics is fantastic.

Yeah the song is shit Zombie, but it doesn't matter, as it fits so well with the images you tend to ignore it, and it even adds ot it.
What i mean is, ordinarily you wouldn't want to listen to this song (well I wouldn't) , but as a choice to add footage to it's superb.

Cagey · **Posted:** 03 Aug 2008 - 11:32 pm

The song is not shit, Dennis Leary is great.

Mollari · **Posted:** 06 Aug 2008 - 12:30 am

It's not something I'd have amongst my mp3 collection that's fo' sho' .
But I like to listen to it in this carnation.

So then Barry, how?

What did you use to capture the clips? (hardware)
same for the software?
What did you use to edit it together ?
How do you line up the footage with the audio so well?

Cagey · **Posted:** 06 Aug 2008 - 12:38 am

You fail for the use of "fo' sho'"

Please tell us Matt has your account sabotaged? :lol:

Mollari · **Posted:** 06 Aug 2008 - 12:54 am

haha, think that was 'cause I was thinking about my music collection as I wrote it, which is all Hip Hop and dance tracks only.
And just for a second I turned Gangsta . :lol:

A Dazzle Platinum USB capture card. It comes with Pinnacle Studio 10 which is what you use to capture. There are loads of videos and tutorials for it on youtube. I got it from Pixmania.

Adobe Premiere Pro. Then I put the avi into Windows Movie Maker to convert it into wmv. This also gives the "high quality" option for the video on youtube.

I put the song into an audio track on premiere and just lined up the clips with the points in the song as they happened. You have to love non-linear editing.

It was also my first video to be uploaded to Youtube. I was also going to put it on my MSN Soapbox account but within like 10 minutes it was blocked due to "copyright infringement". So I had to delete it.
But anyway, I have a few other videos on there.

Anyone know if there's a way to reupload a video over an existing one? As I just noticed a spelling mistake...
I haven't seen any option to reupload... If there isn't I'll just have to keep it there with the mistake that I will notice EVERY SINGLE TIME I watch it from now on.

Mollari · **Posted:** 07 Aug 2008 - 10:35 pm

Strange how when you watch something again and again but still notice somethign different. Must be 5th viewing now, and I only just noticed the jump at the end sees him land on a peacekeeper :lol:

Seriously what harm was it doing to the copyright holder?

The amount of copyrighted stuff on youtube and they disable what is basicly a tribute to the song and game.

But then if they complain to youtube what can they do?

I reckon you should be imprisoned for eternity

Mat's Effect · **Posted:** 30 Nov 2008 - 6:56 pm

Yea I agree there is so much stuff on You Tube that actuality needs removed but instead they target stuff like that.

Mollari · **Posted:** 30 Nov 2008 - 7:06 pm

The daft thing with this type of 'infringement' is that it actually gets the song out to more people.
If I were the artist I'd be happy it was being used in such a way.
I still watch thi now and again too, or did should i say.

Barry the SuperScot · **Posted:** 30 Nov 2008 - 7:11 pm

Well, I'm now exporting a wmv of the widescreen version without the spelling mistake. It'll be back up. I'll give you the link once uploaded.
