Oh YES it´s here finally,

man that was a chunk of Data I thought my little Mac Mini

would not make it and I had same serious issues with the datastream(Video was 1.5GB in the end,

a normal "Oli reviews…" was about 150MB).

 

But I made it. So please enjoy.

 

Follow this Link to view the video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..GOvBm6bbYo

 

I recommend…no, I DARE YOU to watch this a) in Fullscreen and b) in 1080p !

 

In the future I think I will grade down to 720p its still low HD, but heck it is not nearly as much

hustle than this was awesome.

 

Best regards

The Camera itself records in 1920/1080 with 60 frames per sec. But IMovie only uses (30 PAL, 25 NTSC or 24 Cinema Frames).

10 minutes of 1080p footage, how long did it take to render?!

For some reason it really doesn't wanna load that video in 1080, might have to drop to 720.

 

EDIT:

Weird, it took forever for 1080p to load, about 2 minutes loading for 30 seconds footage. Whereas on 720p it loaded the whole vid in about 20 seconds.

Anyhow, Mr. Oli, you are the flyest of mofos, you really do set the
bar for MLG videos. I thought you'd climbed the Dom just to show us how
your camera performs, then you go and pull out 2 games!

2 Hours did that final rendering take on my Mac Mini (Intel Duo 2.0Ghz 4GB DDR3 Ram),

and I needed to do it 2 times, I had some serious issues were I had frames of glitches in the

video the first time.

 

The loading problem on youtube, yes had that too, most probably a bandwith limit on Youtubes side.

Just Imagine everyone would pull those files in Full HD from their servers, there has to be a limit.

 

For the next one I will go down to 720. It´s complety sufficient.

 

…and Demons Souls, I just wanted it to be there. I guess two games could not be any

more different, but both awsome.

 

I hope Mr. Adamski enjoyed his present wink

Well thats Apple for You in a nutshell.

 

It comes with its proprietary software, codecs and in that case quicktime also.

 

For me it´s a still a miracle because it´s "dumb proof" that even I can make at least some proper editing without going too

deep into that kind of software.

 

Of cause it does not have as many bells and whistles like for example Sony Vegas Pro for the PC.

But I take useability over features, at least for the time beeing.

And the results, at least visually seem to be pretty ok, or not ?

 

This whole doing videos for You guys is still a process of learning something new for me and trying to

polish my english at the same time, but I want to keep it all simple, it is only a hobby.

 

Man I got ALL consoles, a pile of shame that blocks the light of the friggin sun and at least 1 more character in WoW

that wants to be lvl 85…oh and that thing called work awesome.

Sehr gut Oli!, I really enjoyed your video, the views over Kologne brought some very happy memories back when I visited Kologne on a school trip back in about 1976/77, I think we actually stayed in a Hotel in Koblenz, but we visited your fantastic city on more than one occasion!

I still have a drinking glass which I bought on the said school hloiday, with a picture of St Goar a. RH und Burg Rheinfels, I cannot remember where this place was in comparison to Kologne?

**That my friends, is the definition of Balls Deep**

 

In-fuckin-credible Oli.

I am somewhat speechless. That was amazing.
Just watched it sat with Mrs Adamski, and I’ll be honest, it was emotional.

 

For those that may not know, I proposed to Mrs Adamski at the top of the Cologne Cathedral back in the late 90’s, while I was working there.
 

Your movie was just utterly fantastic…I really can’t put into words how overwhelming it was to watch.

I was only kidding when I put that post in your last unboxing video asking to see a view from the top of the Dom.

To see Koln in all its HD glory has brought back many, many happy memories of your fantastic city.

The fast forward up the stairs even had ME out of breath! That is a hard slog! I don’t know how you managed to do it while filming…I guess that is a testament to your new camera’s portability.

I had forgotten about that little extra bit of metal stairs you have to climb to get to the very top!

 

Just as you emerged at the very top, there is a guy standing there (3:17)…standing in the exact spot I asked for my wife’s hand in marriage. Aahhh…love was in the air…and STILL is.
 

UNBOXING at the top too! A real treat!

 

But wait, what’s this at the end….man oh man Oli….that was….that was…..very special.

That is the drink of champions.

Am I gushing a little too much? Pah, so what!

 

Thank you Oli.

From Mr and Mrs Adamski, thank you so very much.

 

(If we ever meet in the flesh, I might just have to dry hump you) 

 
 

Just some links for those who may be interested in the Dom Cathedral:

…and the Koelsch beer…which I have seen bring many an Englishman to his knees!

I proposed in the kitchen. I drank 10 beers and half a bottle of vodka that night.

It was unromantic, but warm.

Before my good man, very much before.

We'd been around my sister's place on boxing day and had a heavy drinking session. With buffet for nibbles the effects of alcohol were compunded.

When we allighted the fragrent taxi at chez antman, I clumsily broched the subject of not completely objecting to having children.

"I would want more of a commitment" came the reply from my better half.

And so the rest is history. Steamed off my tits I staggered upstairs to the hiding place for the ring which had been there for 2 years. Playing hallway pinball on the way back I clumsily wobbled to one knee and popped the question. My night was filled with terrors, faint memories of something out of character I had done.

The Yuletide Sun slowly rose, ready to greet the bargain shoppers. As I stumbled to the bathroom for a 5 gallon piss everything came flooding back.

 

And THAT is romance ladies and gentlemen. I do apologise for the threadjacking.

Jepp, in german it´s called "Spiel mir das Lied vom Tot."

 

and the suggestion came from Mrs. Oli saying

"With your kind of fitness you can play that song,

Spiel mir das Lied vom Tot (Play me the song of death)" awesome

 

Well and it fits so I took it smile

 

My original idea was the Benny Hill Theme Music, but I was overvoted.
