Boot videos thread
 

Since we now have the option to use fancy new boot videos (by the way, the maemo.org one is really slick), I decided to make a thread for anyone who wants to post their own boot videos.

Here's one I quickly made in After Effects:

Download the .avi here:

So, please create something and post it here, so we'll have more choises if we don't like the Nokia Hands -one.

I've come up with two concepts (thank to claesbas for the C4D file) based on the maemo.org logo.

The first is a simple fly-in. Camera track is kinda "meh" but it's interesting enough. Needs a sound effect to go with it.

The second (also in black) is a combination of ideas from both timeless and lcuk and requires a little imagination to get the full effect (since I don't have the recorded sound effect I need yet). Basically, picture the sound the N900 (or N810) keyboard makes as it snaps open when the .org pops in and you'll have the idea. ;)

Apologies for the .mov, too lazy to re-encode and that's the only format Cinema 4D spits out on OS X. Have some more ideas forthcoming (might try something like the X fly-over from Leopard).

I like the second one.. and with the sound of a opening nXXX it would be so cool (great idea!). :-) The black one really look solid.

EDIT: I should post a link to my Glassy 3d anim to: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=32935

Re: Boot videos thread
 

Is there a way to just disable boot videos and have verbose boot messages?

Re: Boot videos thread
 

general Antilles, can you please write a step by step guide for me and the fellow n900 newbs? thanks in advance!

If someone would make some for the subcommunities (okay, I'm begging for one for Maemo-Freak...), you may be able to pad your Paypal account. Is anyone willing to do custom work?

Re: Boot videos thread
 

I could make one if you give me some ideas what it should look like. Oh yeah, I'm just doing this for fun so no bribes needed. ;)
