zoid recently knocked down the hard any % record (among several others) in metroid prime.
he selected this run to be made into a video. now, i warned him that being in graduate school with papers to grade and research to do and what have you, i really don't have the time anymore to be making these insanely awesome videos like i used to back in the day.
but, lucky for him and for all of you, i had an idea: i wondered whether i could write something in python that would plug into avisynth and cut out 95% of the labor involved in making such a video ...
to make a long story short, i could, and i did.
the extremely quick-and-dirty script from a non-programmer picked out 833 clips from zoid's run, which i then imported into imovie and sorted through, deleting just under half of them.
by sheer coincidence, the length of the remaining clips almost exactly matched the length of the song zoid had requested the video be built around. now the only thing left was to add text overlays and make some minor adjustments to the clip order and bam, a brand new, full-length m2k2sda promo video made in an afternoon.
i've treated the video with all of my present-day encoding knowledge (if you can play full resolution, full framerate video, then the high quality is highly recommended!!), and i couldn't be more pleased to present the new video in the six qualities below (and be sure to spread around the google video/youtube links!):
H.264 MPEG-4: Medium Quality
H.264 MPEG-4: High Quality
H.264 MPEG-4: Insane Quality
H.264 MPEG-4: Low Quality
DivX AVI: Medium Quality
DivX AVI: Low Quality
