this was so fuckin' awesome (albeit in the barrage of hectic and humoristic action there were a few slow seconds that felt they didn't belong there)! Also huge props for the camera angles on the tank just before the greetings part, it gave me little tears of joy :-D

btw. the information is incorrect. this is done by HBC, not just maxon. Oh and the video file is fucked up, too.
rulez added on the 2008-08-03 11:51:27 by raymon raymon
The audio is messed up. The video must be some broken stream rip or whatever (colours look off too).

Besides, this is of course A+++ material. Best thing released at Assembly this year.

It just seems like I've seen this several times before?
It's obvious a tonne of work has gone into this, it just doesn't do it for me. Especially the parts with the cars that just dragged on forever, like a doodle that doesn't know where it's going.

The capped.tv version is going through the normal encoder now. It was uploaded as a direct mp4. The encoder should re-sync the audio, but might sound a little odd.

In any case: proper vid please. <3

rulez added on the 2008-08-04 09:26:39 by chavez chavez
Hello again

I just must say that because of the intensiveness of this project and the incredible tight schedule, there just are lots and lots of stuff missing. Lighting is often too bright or just plain and things are intersecting and there comes no particles out of the ground or not really any kind of effects. Sound or otherwise.

So if your comment is about what's missing or what needs to be fixed in this prod, it's propably so because we just didn't have the time to make of fix it. In every second of the film I could name a couple of things that could be improved, but that's the way this goes. I didn't even want to get a job for this summer because of the time this project needed and still didn't get it anywhere near the glory I would like it to be.

But I'm glad with the end result we accomplished in the time we had.

Btw, I'm planning on releasing a big making-of-field-trip package some day near future. Check out the .nfo.

I'm making the high-quality-version as we speak, but I'm also gonna fix a couple of major things that annoyed me, like the blinking red light at the zoom-scene will be removed - I have no idea why I had to put it there. Maybe my sleeplessness had it's part in the play. And also the zoom-scene's lightness is a bit too bright. And maybe some other things.

Like I noted in the .nfo, I'm going to encode the high-quality version with the help of this: Super-tutorial and with the following settings:

Codec: x264
File Format: MKV
Video profile: HQ-Insane
Automated 2pass
6000 kbps bitrate

Shouldn't take more than a week max definitely.

I have a hunch you'll be enjoying it :)
Thanks.

AS much as I would've liked to chime in with the "this is the best thing, like, EVAR" crowd - the story or theme just didn't resonate with me in any way.

Then again, It had its moments (when you played with the scale of things, and even the now obligatory infinite zoomer) and the technical execution is so good that it fully deserves a thumb up, so here it comes :)

WTF guys! That was just sheer brilliance from start to finish. The rendering, modeling, animating, 2D, music.. Enjoyed every second of it. It'll be hard to top this one, and I can't wait for you to try ;)

And who needs a story? Better this kind of awesome random eye candy than the usual badly executed, cliched and childish scene "story" (Odyssey, Tribes, I could go on all night)
rulez added on the 2008-08-04 18:08:44 by break break
gahaha this is so fucking awesome :D I probably didn't get most references and yet it easily got me laughing out loud several times, especially during the amazingly awesome homage to ultimatum to the world. fuckings to stories, please keep doing things like this :D
rulez added on the 2008-08-04 18:28:30 by stijn stijn
hahaha break and stijntje, I like your comments :P They suit with this prod.
But I sure tell you it ain't always be like this (without story), but it'll be sometimes be like this again also - it'll always depend on what mood we are.

Besides, I think a perfect motto for us would be "If it doesn't give something new, it's not worth releasing"

Thank you again.
Still slowly working on the super-HQ-version. Stay tuned.

ALRIGHT EVERYBODY!

The High-Quality-version of Field Trip is up for grabs!
Just click here.

I've posted a fix-up-note into the fix me beautiful-thread about the new file. The link up there might be already fixed.

I hope you enjoy it!

- maxon / HBC

(On a side note, I'm making the making-of-Field-Trip bonus package right now)

noone mentioned the kindernoiser reference yet? :)

and yeah, this probably one of the s(l)ickest demoscene prods ever, if not one of the best.
rulez added on the 2008-08-12 23:56:11 by Gargaj Gargaj
Well, I guess the authors should say which things are references and which things aren't. Having a 4d julia set as a kindernoiser reference is like having a shopping kart as a farbrausch reference. It can be, but doesn't have to. Reference to mfx's demo is really obvious tho.
added on the 2008-08-13 00:01:00 by mrdoob mrdoob
the angles were more or less the same on the julia set though
Instant classic.
rulez added on the 2008-08-13 13:58:21 by Maissi Maissi
wanna tell something but this one blew me completly away on the stream, even if the other prods hadnt this quality standard, for this it was worth to watch the assembly-stream.

Dunno what went wrong with the original video (or maybe something in vlc got fixed?) but I watched it first time round and was left feeling it was probably a bit disappointing underneath the video skips and crappy sound.

Now I've seen it properly though, it's really good! Excellent design and animation, good flow, good music.. massive thumb up!

Insanely fluent and prolofic for the first minute and a half or so, then becomes a lot more uneven (obviously lower render quality at times) but with obviously some stellar parts. Not my favorite from this stellar team, but there's no way though any body part could point anywhere but up while watching this.

Over a decade later, I think this is possibly one of my top 3~5 favourite demoscene prods. I love it to pieces.

The YouTube comments from people unfamiliar with the Scene, who enjoyed it while not quite understanding what they saw, also put a grin on my face. :)
