Title: TMS - DSU - USS - Delta REMAKE

Hey Boys!

Quote from Kingjad:

Quote
First of all, a big thank you to Silw for editing this, we were glad it was a USS-er editing just like the original Delta. He done a magnificent job.

So you might have questions, as to why? Well, back in October of last year, three of us - Xtramus, Aries and myself - got nostalgic about the past, and in particular how fun Delta was. I had the idea of the three of us representing our crews and landing all the stunts for them, for a re-made video as a fun throwback. The idea seemed like a fun one, and we were all eager to land the stunts.

I quickly realised one tiny little problem though - I suck! I quickly hit a roadblock I just couldn't get around in one of the TMS stunts (Sweet's damn p2b downtown, I couldn't get close), and I vented my frustrations to other TMS-ers on discord, in particular DeathCobra and ExPlosion. Embarassingly, they BOTH landed the stunt, and for explo it was the first time he'd stunted in damn years, just to show me how bad I was that he could land it, rusty as hell, that quickly.

So I asked Xtramus and Aries if they minded I had a little bit of help getting the TMS stunts landed - they were happy to have other old faces on board, and so DC and Explo helped me land the TMS stunts as well as the Nightkid stunts that EVERYONE was competing for, as he was not affiliated with any of the crews in the original Delta. I had not intended to drag them into a video but they were happy to join in, and even Turtle Dick tried to get involved much to our delight - his laptop does not run the game well at all, though, and despite landing a stunt the replay did lag for him, showing how poor his game runs while playing.

Aries and Xtramus also had a couple of hiccups landing their stuff, although I am impressed especially with how well Xtramus done landing almost all of the USS stunts himself, and so Silw volunteered to try his hand at landing some stunts too for any that we were struggling on. We did keep mainly to our own crew's stunts, but we did try and help land any stunt if others were struggling to. We managed to get every stunt landed, and then we needed an editor. After a couple of hiccups here too, Silw was recommended/volunteered, and the end result as you can see is a wonderful tribute to what was one of the most memorable videos I ever took part in originally. We sincerely hope you enjoy the nostalgia as much as we did.

Post by: Aries on May 13, 2021, 10:08:45 AM: Smashing job on the editing as always, Silw :wub: Thanks for editing this for us and contributing on a stunt or two as well. Really enjoy everything about it, captured the old video feel whilst still feeling fresh, dunno, just rambling but awesome! ;D ;D

Post by: Kingjad on May 13, 2021, 11:18:06 AM: I mean my words are already in Silw's post at start but honestly, this was such a great project to be a part of.

USS have always been one of my favourite crews, and the fact Xtramus is still leading them to this day is astonishing. BJnumbers would be proud of this.

So glad my own crew bailed me out as well to ensure this video happened, massive thank you again to DeathCobra, ExPlosion and especially Turtle Dick with his stunt. It's not a TMS video without Turtle Dick.

DSU logo a bit under-rated, nice seeing it again from out of retirement.

Post by: Sport on May 13, 2021, 11:39:55 AM: Nice vid guys! It's weird to watch the same person reland their stunt. it's like you see a stunt done by the same person, but in a parallel universe :lol:.

The edit was relaxing and flowed well, good job Silw. Was a pleasure to watch guys, thanks for this one. Definitely be coming back to both.

Post by: Bixel on May 15, 2021, 08:26:31 AM: I feel like remakes should be using the same music and editing (while i've seen Silw tryed to make it close to original with the tags and the intro) should follow 1:1 but highly modernized. Call me purist if you want, but the original spirit needs to be kept for a remake. Nontheless seems like you pulled a great efford into making this. I'm both hands up for a good old school to modernized remake. Silw thank you for using something new for editing and you're very skilled too it seems! Whats the next remake ?

I was torn myself on the best approach - to me it feels a bit weird asking an editor to not edit to their own style but adapt to someone else's previous style to copy. This remake still captures the feel the original Delta has IMO, and yet stands out on its own as a unique video due to the way it's edited.

Silw had the opportunity to copy bj's editing style/music/stunt order if they had wished to do so, as they were editor we said it was entirely their choice what they wished to do with it.

Post by: Dannye on May 15, 2021, 07:39:05 PM: Great work guys, that was such a fun & nostalgic watch.
No easy feat picking such a lengthy video for a recreation, and you all nailed it.
A few random things I also enjoyed with it: the time-of-day variations and the associated mix of sky colours, the zoom + freeze-frame on KJ's kick at the end of the main, and the stylish look of the delta logo and name-burns (plus being able to see the DSU logo in a video again!).
Cheers all, nicely done!
Title: Re: TMS - DSU - USS - Delta REMAKE
Post by: Xtramus on May 17, 2021, 02:56:44 AM: This was such a fun video to do, and I am glad Silw nailed the editing. Of course, it's always a choice between a puritan carbon copy of the old version versus a reimagination of what could be done with the new raw material. I think choosing the latter here was a very good decision so good on you! I for one really enjoyed this video, I am loving the laid-back atmosphere this video and many others nowadays have.

I'd also like to thank Kingjad for coming up with the idea, and the good chats/updates that followed as we landed (OR NOT LANDED FUCK FUCK FUCK THIS GODDAMN BRIDGE BSM) the various stunts. Revisiting all these spots by myself took me back years, and it was great to try my hand at several others from my fellow USS-ers from back in the day. It was also nice to "race" each other for some of the NK spots, I always loved that tankbump 2 grind and I am glad my version was in the main (though DC's version does have the krail, hats off!).

PS: Silw, why you gotta have 90% of the credits be my bails, I know I bailed some of these way too many times, no need to share lol :ninja:

Post by: kaneda on May 19, 2021, 01:44:17 AM: Beautiful work to everyone involved. I love the retro vibe and the intro reminded me of the first time I played VC (long before stunting even entered the equation) and thinking "WOW...this is like the best thing ever!". It's always tricky talking about the stunts when watching a remake of an older vid, but a lot of these are still sweet to watch, even a second time - also, quite a number still would have been a pain to land.

Silw's editing job was smooth as silk. I've never dabbled in Final Cut, but this editing job makes me want to look into it (although I had enough editing nightmares with the remedial Vegas 7 recently). I'm positive it was intentional, or it could just be me but I noticed some very subtle images (or footage) just noticeable over the stunt footage...or am I wrong? This isn't a criticism, just my curiosity has gotten the better of me on this.

Lastly, the music flowed well with the stunts and just added to the laid back vibe. I'm noticing more and more that editors are using slower, more melodic tunes in their vids and I love it.

Great work by everyone involved. The remakes are supplementing my nostalgia kick along with the Database.

Well, I tried to use all the stuff I've got and with your stuff in the Credits I could fill the credits just fine to end with the whole outro song :mellow:

I try to implement memories of playing vice city as the usual game (missions/80's vibe etc...) in my editings. I think that reference to the vice city 80's vibe is missing in others stunt videos, and I'm just a fan of the 80's vibe.

With the subtle images over the stunt footage you meant this right?

That was intentional. Those light flickers are maybe not placed well at some parts but it doesn't bother me at all :P

Post by: Conatus on June 18, 2021, 05:48:22 AM: Well first off, the music choice just fit perfectly with the 80's vibe that Silw knows how to orchestrate. I totally approve of using Final Cut Pro, it makes the editing more unique with rarely used effects. About the intro I felt like I was watching David Sandberg's medium-length film. Nevertheless, I didn't especially like the part with Kingjad watching the screen, I found the overlay too much but that's just my opinion. Stunts were pleasant to watch.

Nice remake guys!

Stuntingwise there is nothing much to add, sweet relands. Editingwise it was amazing, I really enjoyed it. As Silw himself mentioned, that 80s VC vibe is present and it made the atmosphere so cool. Liked the song as well, it was long enough to make it to the end of the main part.
My only concern is that I missed some guys from the original one :( Have you tried contacting some (more) of them? For example Dannye is around, I expected him to be in this as well.

Dannye was someone we got in contact with just as we were finishing up the video, to be honest. I did say earlier the stunts were all landed end of October/start of November. We found Dannye in December of last year or around about then.

I know X has tried in vain to find BJnumbers. No luck there, he's been gone since like 2007 or something! I've managed to find several TMS-ers and was fortunate a couple contributed stunts for this but the fact is most have moved on from stunting. Brainkiller, Plethzorb, Kert, Fugitive, NuclearDeath, Sadness, Turtle Dick, ExPlosion and DeathCobra are the TMS guys I've found so far since returning last summer and are doing well. I consider it extremely fortunate that Explo, TD and DC got stunts for this re-make but as far as I know only DC and myself are the only 'active' stunters in TMS, as Explo hasn't shown anything since and TD's laptop won't allow him to stunt either.

Glad you enjoyed it, the editing does make this a very enjoyable watch I agree.
