Hey what's up everyone? Lately I've been working on a frag movie for MW3 on PC (and released it not too long ago). I'm gonna share some of the techinical stuff if you're interested!
If you're wondering how I recorded all the epic bullet time effects, I utilized the games theater mode and recorded all my footage at 500FPS. If you're wondering how to do so, slow down the timescale to .2 and record your whole clip in 60FPS. What you do then is use a program like virtual dub and export the video in 500FPS and it will speed up the clip to the proper timescale. In the editing software, you are now able to slow down the footage all the way down to 20% speed and still keep it very smooth (since it's still at 60FPS)!
Since all the sounds are off (because MW3's theater doesn't distort the audio as it slows down) I had to record all the gun sounds in a private server and manually insert them. This also sounds great because you won't be getting all the ugly sounds in the background along with the guy on the com spamming you with things like "ENEMY UAV IS ONLINE".
If you're wondering how I managed to get the cinematic pans as the intro/outro (since the PC version of MW3 lacks joystick/360 controller support), I actually borrowed my friend's (Trevor from Trevorsgames) copy of MW3 on PS3 (since he's a console noob =P). I then used my Hauppauge HD PVR to record some cinematic pans via theater mode.
And that's pretty much all there is to know about my montage! The rest were all effects done within the adobe programs I used. Be sure to watch it if you haven't and give it a like/comment! It greatly helps lol :D
