Title: What Kind Of Day Has It Been [Dannye Best-of]
Post by: Dannye on December 25, 2012, 01:22:36 AM
Hi folks!

Been wanting to do this for quite a while now, and have finally got around to doing it.
Picked all my favourite stunts I've done over the years and collected them together into one video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heqlLT5-4Lk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heqlLT5-4Lk)

No other links at the moment alas (I've got no idea where's good for uploading anymore), and quality of the stream may not be perfect (my first time uploading to youtube). I've still got the originals, so one or both of these issues may be solved at some point.

(Updated) Download links here:

I had some good fun with Freeplay while recording stunts for this, I even added another feature, so look out for an update to that in a little bit. I was also pondering releasing the source for both the USCM and Freeplay at the same time as this, if anyone's interested, so perhaps stay tuned for that too.

(Updated) VC Freeplay Source Code:

Big thanks to the GTAStunting community & members, and everyone involved in keeping it running.
Also big thanks to everyone in ATS past and present, for being a fantastic source of fun and inspiration since my very beginning - I wont forget that some of you actually reviewed my very first released video 'Vertigo'. Good times!

Cheers,
Dannye

Those camera angles with the new freeplay feature look so fucking sick!

I loved the style of stunts in this, everything was so good. Thanks for making this, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

Apologies to those who find the beginning of the video 'lacking'. It would appear I poured everything I had left into the 'Yeah Baby' intro - I tried to do something for this, but nothings left in the tank! And to those who don't like the intros anyway, you're in for a treat! Hehe.

Awesome video man! Truly enjoyed that simple and clean edit, those freeplay angle where seriously great. It was great to rewatch some of those stunt after long time although I don't remember all of them, that finisher was just awesome!

Some very nice camera creations, like the tank flying over the park at 4:52. But 3:40 has to be my favorite. Very enjoyable, sometimes the Freeplay felt overused, but that's because of the amount of stunts. Overall a great watch with good looking stunts.

Amazing video in every aspect. You changed the face of stunting by not only landing impressive and innovative stunts but also inventing the two most useful things for stunting and editing - USCM and Freeplay. Thank you for that, you're the man. :ajaja:
Title: Re: What Kind Of Day Has It Been [Dannye Best-of]
Post by: JL on December 25, 2012, 03:49:24 AM
You have always been one of the most original members in my eyes and this collection of your favorites has cemented that even more. All the stunts looked like pure fun and not like you were trying to impress the people strolling around the place which is something i wished to see more often.
Loved every single stunt in this video - no exaggerations... :) :jajaja:

As for the editing; it's perfect the way it is. Since the video kept being interesting all the way through, why would you need any effects? Heh. The angles were awesome. Never seen anybody use them like that throughout the video and that's another unique quality added to this piece. :happy:

Absolutely lovely man, you sure have your unique style. The edit was simple but great, wasn't too fond of some of the camera angles, but I must admit that new feature even had me excited, and I don't even edit  :lol: I can't think of a standout stunt, they all just seemed like you knew what you wanted and you got it, and that just makes them oh so much better. This video is you, and it's great.

I'd also like to thank you for making stunting so much easier, if it weren't for you I don't think many people would have kept going for so long. You seem like one hell of a guy and I'm sure you have inspired so many people to keep doing what they love.

Thanks for all the kind words guys, it is greatly appreciated.

There's a few stunts in there which for one reason or another never found a video to call home and so hadn't seen the light of day until now ;)

Regarding the new Freeplay 'feature', I suppose its more combining two existing features: putting a cinematic camera wherever you want & being able to move a frozen camera => moving the position of a cinematic camera, and the game does all the hard work of aiming it at the player/vehicle for us! Quite simple as it turned out (thankfully!)

You are the most meaningful member of this community in my eyes, the community wouldn't have been the same without you. Both USCM and Freeplay have made everything more fun and easy, I think the community wouldn't last to this day without these tools. The video was amazing, I loved the stunts and new Freeplay features you've presented in this. Everything was lovely, really. You are awesome, keep on rocking with whatever you do! :D

Its now been alot better kind of day sir!

Stunts were always great, and now this with tandem is sweet way to scout ideas for a good stunt session.

Nice selection of music, it was energetic and upbeat and felt fitting, and was kind of bittersweet at the end.

You know how i feel about freeplay!  :wub: I'll be waiting for it to drop! 

Keeping it brief. just overall awesome man and thanks again.

first you fuckers

e/ AMAZING video, it was such a surprise and I haven't seen some of these stunts, can't find words atm, you have been such a meaningful stunter over this years, with your tools you've made stunting a lot better, as Prz said, probably it wouldn't have lasted this long.

One of a kind video, hands down.

Hands down Dannye, you are the man here. :)

Thanks for the USCM and the Freeplay, the community can't be the same editing- and stuntingwise.
Your stunting style is something like can't be done again, you are unique, and this is just respectable.

Thanks again for the innivations you've did, and good luck in the future whatever you do. :wub:

If someone using XP and/or 32bit OS can confirm that the thing actually runs that'd be handy. I compiled the latest version on my 64bit Windows 7 machine so cannot check that myself too easily.

Fantastic video man, you are one of the most versatile stunters out there and this video showcased that brilliantly. It was a joy to watch.

You're a huge inspiration to many members here (including me) not just as a stunter but as a person, you're always so helpful and nice, so thanks for that man. And last, even though we can never thank you enough, thank you sooo much for creating the uscm and freeplay, we'd be lost without 'em :D

Yes post the source for Freeplay! That would be awesome what language did you use again? C or C++?

Killer video dude! Didn't really dig the PotF soundtrack but the camera angles made up for it.

Thankyou everyone!!

I have done an improved render which I am happy with, and although I am having some major problems with uploading at the moment, hopefully I'll have it up somewhere soon to be downloaded by anyone interested in grabbing a copy that hasn't been through youtube.

To answer the above question, Freeplay was developed in C++.

Awesome video from every aspects, you have had an incredible career. When I saw 2004-2012, I felt something undescribable, and this is what makes a person a determinative and symbolic icon of stunting.
All stunts were pure epicness and memomable ones, can't forget them! Editing was sooo neat and smooth, everything was just perfect here. I guess I have found my winner to this year.  :a-cheer:
Also I would like to say a huge thanks to you for doing those really helpful things to all of us, stunting wouldn't be the same without you!

Not ideal, split over two rar's... that would be due to the upload issues I mentioned.
I am hoping someone will be able to download it and re-upload it (as just the complete video file) somewhere better for us.

That tank flying through the park...literally just became a highlight of my stunting! I can see your new freeplay feature and the creativity it will bring some of these guys will be remarkable.

Thanks again everyone for the kind feedback.

I had been looking at the Freeplay source in preparation to release it, however in doing so I found myself really disliking it - it didn't seem fair to share it in its current state. So I have been spending my time recently rewriting it to make it better. No new features, just some under-the-hood kinda stuff, and a couple bug-fixes. Anyway, this is still in progress, I'll try to keep you updated.

The best thing I could hope for on a sporadic visit to GTAS. Everything inspirational about stunting in one video! I can truly say that New Breed would not have evolved without your influence both in terms of stunting and editing. Freeplay is the best thing to happen to stunt videos, fact.

Thanks for the encore man!
