Badnitrus animation

That work should be hanging in a gallery somewhere;)

That is without a doubt, the best coaster animation video I have ever seen. Keith, you have some serious skills dude!!! The low-res version was all I watched, but damn, even all blown up and pixelated, that is just truly impressive!!! I bet CP is just kicking themselves over the crap animation they got....

Best of luck to you in the future...

(edit)Just wanted to pass along kudos to anyone else who may have worked on this. Outstanding!(/edit)

I too am amazed by all the detail he put in the background where you can see the other rides - this animation does a MUCH better job of conveying how high up you go! And I love how you see the train in front blasting away into a speck in the distance before you get launched yourself!

At 420 feet up, no one can hear you scream...

Dose anyone know if that animation is going to be posted anywhere else so people that are not club members will be able to see it?

Yeah. It would be nice if it was put on Kazaa so that people all over will be able to get easy access to the High Resolution if they are not members of coasterbuzz, or even for poeple just searching Top Thrill Dragster whodont even know about Badnitrus at all will see it and be amazed.

You sure as hell better not put it on Kazaa or anywhere else because you don't own the copyright. You want the full-resolution version, join the club. If I find out anyone has distributed it in any other fashion I will sue the pants off of you. That I promise.

How much bigger is the full resolution video anyway?

Wow, Jeff, wow. But I understand your point. The musical groups, along with those who have the talent to make videos like Badnitrus, deserve credit that isn't given to them because of theft of music: see Kazaa.

How about making it available to people with active AdPoints on GTTP?

I especially loved the reflection of the coaster in the water. That was really cool.

I loved the Realistic shots, like the coaster was running with the realistic images. That was amazing.

Excellent video, yet again. I've been watching these since the MF animation, and each one gets more and more impressive.

I especially loved the perfect example of being in the second train out, watching the one ahead of you take off. Gives you some time to watch what's about to happen to you... then, your train lurches forward.

I want my turn. ;)

How bigger or better is the coasterbuzz version for members?

How do you make these things? Is there a place where I can download a program to do it?

The high resolution version will only be available to Coasterbuzz Club members. This isn't some ploy to get sign-ups, it's to control bandwidth usage. Last time he posted video the entire connection was saturated, and you could barely hit the site at all. This should prevent that. Club members can see the high-res, 30 MB QuickTime version here:

Jeff, here you make it sound like its not about memberships and its because you want to control bandwidth. So when I said that it should be put on Kazaa I didnt think you would be so angry. You later say "You sure as hell better not put it on Kazaa or anywhere else because you don't own the copyright. You want the full-resolution version, join the club. If I find out anyone has distributed it in any other fashion I will sue the pants off of you. That I promise." I thought you were more concerned about the bandwidth not about memberships. Well hey, if its put on Kazaa it surely wont be distributed by me cause I wont be shelling out the cash to join the club. However im sure it will end up on Kazaa and I will DL it for free.

Sounds a bit contradictory.

Just a casual observation... Not only do you have to buy the program, but most people probably have to take classes (i.e. college) to learn how to use it. Talent and education, y'know...otherwise every Joe Schmoe out there would be able to do it, and we wouldn't be so amazed.

Now THIS is something that they should put on No Limits. I would love to be able and turn my head and look down on MF.
