Description:

Some animals play a dangerous game.

Artist's notes:

This started as a PLAY sponsor trailer for the Ann Arbor Film Festival, but during production I thought it could work as a short too.
If anyone knows the complete title for the Tchaikovsky piece please let me know.

YouTube rating: 4/5

Great seth, i’m glad you have a sponsor-free version!
(The compression looks amazing on this video: can you share how what your compression process is?)

The codec is quicktime’s H.264 .mov set to greyscale with no audio compression.
key frames: automatic
frame reordering: off
bitrate: 3500 kbps
FPS: 29.97
quality: high
encoding: best
resolution: 1920×1080
I don’t know what half these things mean and im not sure why it doesn’t get screwed up by youtube’s encoding, but this gets a 1.3 gb down to 80 mb

may the god’s of compression favor with everyone.

just to clarify: you upload it at 1920×1080? (I thought youtube had a 320×240 rule?)

Comment by seth   03.28.2007

youtube will resize anything over 320×240, but it won’t stop you from uploading it if its under 100mb.
