I think that's because when I edited the track it was in stereo,with my part being the left and the comms guys on the right. As I'm muted all you'll get is them on the right. I think I know how to fix that next time out.

I didn't seem to notice it on MotorsTV though, maybe the way I was sitting.

by **JAMIE ANDERS0N** Tue 23 Apr 2013 - 19:27

I noticed on motors that the engines where quiet so seems that they may just run sound on the right

Indeed, I saw that. I was thinking that Lobby C or D (whichever one I was in) was going to be aired, cuz I had a great battle with Mark the whole race for 1st.

Nonetheless, the SRT guys were informed Smile

Properly AWESOME!!! New graphics and intro and commentator rock!! Way to go ;O)

by **Biggsy tv** Wed 24 Apr 2013 - 10:42

Hats off to stan and everyone that put together the video. I expected big things, but this far surpassed expectations. Truely incredible and a job well done.

Only seen the first few mintues, and will get some popcorn on the way home to watch the rest. Certainly put my works to shame lol!

Maybe kick the sound guy though, need to move the comms fader left a little Razz

Very impressed with the graphics and comms.

Few suggestions,

- For the rolling start comms should talk about the grid without the graphics on screen (referring to a bit of paper instead with grid positions), so that the graphics go as long as the comms are going on, rather than comms rushing to squeeze everything in before the graphics disappear

- Ad break. Surely gotta be sorted a bit more efficiently by the chaps at Motors TV. I suppose if there's a certain cut off point then we'll know (maybe worth speaking to the people who we send the file off to?). It will make the video much more flowing and natural. You know how TV shows have a 3 second ad break screen 'End of Part 1' or something. Maybe use that and it's clear for them and the viewers when it's going to be cut.

- Graphics are cool, I really like them (like GRID?) but I found the white text of the race number clashing loads. Maybe have an opaque background on it?

- The ticker at the bottom showing the positions, maybe make it the same text as what we used for the grid? I hate Arial or default fonts, not keen Smile

Sorry if I've been too critical and I'm nowhere near an expert on the issue, but I have this weird thing for sports grephics. I've done a bit before with my own sport (Koneball on YouTube) and I like to make things look nice and clean so that's why I'm being a bit aahghhhhh

Not to undermine the current effort at all!!! Brilliant! Onwards and upwards!

That's being fixed for next time, I did notice that.

It is the same - Segue UI. That's the TORA font.

How is it spelt? I copied it off the Spotter's Guide.

Aw guys. I really appreciate the recognition, thanks!

The video making was something I loved, probably up to about 6 months ago when things went a bit downhill personally, but now im getting the racing fever back again I would've liked to have been involved in the process.

However, I would applaud the success as I have whole community in mind for this success, and not my own personal goals. If there is success in TORA that benefits the community, I will applaud where due. Both to stan and the guys who made the video, Jake joining the comms team, Matt for getting the ball rolling and getting TORA on TV, its an awesome achievement!

by Hainesy Thu 25 Apr 2013 - 14:59

Wowsers, that was the best virtual racing vid I've ever seen. Jake's commentary especially added a sense of realism with AMR holding his own, which is no mean feat when up against a pro broadcaster. And Stan, graphics etc was amazeballs as well, well done everyone involved.
