1000 Races were recorded and displayed simultaneously for this unique and absolutely stunning video.

This video was created using the video game Trackmania Sunrise.
First Released in March 2006, it was made famous in September 2006 when the video was shown at GameTrailers.com where it reached, in spite of the poor quality of the flash format, over 1.5 million views.
Now, thanks to the power of Azureus and Zudeo (little advertising ;) ), you can download the full quality film in seconds.
Enjoy

-------------------------

The "Additionnal Info" tab doesn't seems to work yet so here are more details about this video.

Directed by : BlackShark (yes that's me)

Track designed by : Amraphendt & BlackShark

Replays by : BlackShark (920) Amraphendt (80)

Skins (Car painting) by : Nadeo (Game developper) & Tom Fuel

Mediatracking (Camera management) Rendering and Editing by : BlackShark

Rendering Machine : AMD Athlon XP2000+ - 1GB RAM - nvidia 6600 GT 128MB

It took me about 6 month to complete it (though i didn't spend all my free time on the project). But the hardest part wasn't driving, grabbing the video out of the game was more of a challenge : fortunately, Nadeo (the game developper) provided all players a special feature which allowed me to shoot the video at constant framerate rather than realtime.
With this tool, i was able to push the graphics to the maximum (except shadows).
Rendering took 4 whole days to complete (24h a day), i couldn't push my old computer any furether.
It took me a week to find the right soundtrack but then the editing was quite quick : i made it in one day.

This video i quite precious for me since i lost all the original files in a tragic hard drive magnet erasing accident.

Now thats cool... I just wish you could play the game with that many opponents! That would be amazing! Although you would need one hell of a machine to play it... Great vid

Dude... I cant think of any word that would let you know how much i love this video. Thats why im going to make my own word and meaning.

Also can you give a step by step guide on how you did this. I would love to make my own or be in your next one.

thumb up Awesome!
AcidViper ( 1 year ago on Jul 5, 2007 02:10 GMT)

This was fucking awesome. I loved it. Nice work on it.

To everyone that doesn't want to download VLC Player (www.videolan.org/vlc) you should. I got it ages ago but its amazing. I mean, this player can play every single format of Audio and Video and probably some other stuff. I highly recommend VLC and it will stop the need of downloading codecs. It can play .AVI, .WMV, .MKI, and lots more. Audio can play .MP3, .FLAC, .WAV and lots more.

But anyway, awesome movie, 10/10. Music sucked though.
Keep up the good work.

this is so boring. after 10 seconds it keeps on going!! come on...how did this take any skill or talent when its just the same thing duplicated a million times...

so, if i go film a bug crawling around on the ground, then clone it in my video prgram 1000 times, and rerender then it is fun to watch...? hmm, doesnt seem like entertainment to me.

Brickie ( 1 year ago on Apr 9, 2007 11:17 GMT)

Can play some of vid but no sound and crashes at various points. Used just about every codec pack available and still duff. My PC has a very new and clean install.

BlackShark, your work looks good but any chance we can get it in standard formats, please (otherwise you will lose out from bad ratings)?

Keep up the good work!

thumb up Cool, original video
Adreitz ( 1 year ago on Mar 28, 2007 06:53 GMT)

That Moby song is FREAKING ANNOYING, but the video is really cool. The cars look like waves of water in some parts, like ants running around in others. No car-car collisions, of course, since the 1000 races were all recorded separately (so the other cars weren't "there" during the individual races).

Should have chosen a more common format than Matroska, though. It's an open container format, sure, but I don't think it's any more flexible than the QT container and it's a lot less well-known.

thumb down Yeah
twelvizm ( 1 year ago on Mar 20, 2007 03:32 GMT)

Another video player.

Good work with the CGI, but seriously, just put it out in a common format.

The last thing I want to do is install a program I've never heard of, just to see your video.

I've tried downloading twice & have only gotten audio, no video.
Great song though.

GrebeDuck ( 1 year ago on Dec 24, 2006 04:24 GMT)

After you get the outstanding VLC player softer at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ ...then you can view this composition of very fluid camera moves within 3-D computer animated space. The goal of this animation is obviously not a perfectly realistic auto road race simulation, because many of the car bodies intersect, or CRASH, which is a big no-no in theatrical feature animation.
It is the total multiplicity, as with THE MATRIX series' Mr. Smith, that makes the impression. With motion blurring, the cars flow like a school of fish in FINDING NEMO. In a few instances, better lighting and shadow casting would have added more realism. But this appears to be an almost real time gamish experience. Being very original is good, and yet as the animation crashes forward, you may wonder, "Where are the people?" How cool would it be to see a driver or two go flipping out of a crashed vehicle? And get up, drink their soda, and then litter it the way they always do. In a way this animation is pixel litter, but it is so well crafted and the HDRI - high dynamic range imaging helps sell it.

BlackShark ( 1 year ago on Dec 7, 2006 02:48 GMT)

The video is in H264 High profile, you can read this in any Directshow based application with FFDshow filters, or in VLC (multiplatform, no codec needed), or in any application supporting H264 high profile (nero, power dvd w/AVC etc...)
Quick Time barely supports H264 main profile and is not optimized at all, only use it for pure Quicktime stuff.
