ADAM needs you!

i'm working on something of a project of mine, an "around the world" tour video of tf2. the trick is all the transitions are going to be hidden, like this:
i might need some help with some of the transitions that require 2+ people (fire wash, running in front of scope, that kind of thing. if interested let me know.

That was epic, the first time I saw it I didn't see the transition. I'd be glad to help.

ok, here's what i got so far in terms of ideas:

level switches:

• “blast” transitions
  
  • As seen in video.
  
  
• Teleporter transitions
  
  • I take a teleporter in one level, cut in video of me exiting the elevator in a different level.
  
  
• Passing in front of a scope
  
  • I scope in as sniper, someone passes in front of me in one level. Person does the same in a different level, I do my editing rotoscope magic. Tada!
  
  
• W+M1 transition, may need scripting.
  
  • Probably the most problematic, I would need a pyro to pass the exact same way, the exact same distance, the exact same speed, etc… I’ll probably just go private server and script it the way I want it.
  
  
• Spawn door
  
  • Walk in spawn, get health/ammo, turn around and walk out into a different level. A fairly low FOV is needed so the spawn door is all I see when it opens.
  
  
• Water switch
  
  • go in water one level, go out another. I’m relying on the disorienting effect of water on this one. Simple frame cut
  
  
• The “close object”switch
  
  • pass by a pole, find identical pole in different level, you get the idea. Hardest one to get perfectly. Involves massive amount of rotoscoping, most likely going to drive me insane.
    

Class switches:

• Weapon switch
  
  • needs teleport and getpos. Simple, go to a place on the map, switch weapons. In editor switch out clips when the weapon is down.
  
  
• Teleporter switch
  
  • Would have to be in conjunction with weapon switch.
  
  
• Taunt switch
  
  • Taunt, switch clips out when returning to third person, could be tricky.
  
  

Hey when im on i can help you. I get on around 6 eastern american.

i cranked this out today:



i've decided it's going to be a "history of" as well as a tour, with the engie update coming out soon, it might just be the end of the TF2 line. so why not a recap?

That was really cool, Adam. I look forward to what you will make of all this. If I could help, I would; but I have near no experience in video editing.
