Pup and Friends – August 2009

gbhigh

If you enjoy the highlights I put together and present each month after grifball double XP matchmaking, you’ve probably noticed I’m a bit late this month with them. I have good reason for that. We decided to invest in a high definition capture device to use for all future video projects here on the Hub, so I had to wait a little while for it to arrive via UPS.

What that of course means is that this month’s highlights were encoded in glorious 720p HD. I could have done them at 1080 but that seemed a bit overkill to me.

A couple notes about the reel. First of all I did my best to include as many people as possible. This month many of the clips I received were much longer, so while some made the cut, some unfortunately had to be left out. It’s not because I don’t like you or didn’t think your highlight was that good, it’s simply because I only have so much room.

Second, some of you deleted your clips before I even had a chance to download them. If you submit clips to me, please try to leave them in your fileshare for at least 2 weeks after the double XP weekend has ended. Considering the amount of clips I receive, that gives me plenty of time to get through them all.

Finally, the music used this month was created by a composer named Grant Mohrman, which I purchased as part of a CD/DVD compilation from Position Music. The name of Grant’s original track is Essentially Dead.

Using the looped files provided on the DVD, I remixed, rearranged and created some additional melodies and percussion.

Thanks everyone who submitted highlights this month. Look for something special next month!

    Would you like some cheese with that whine, Nogard?

    You’ve been included several times in the past, I’m pretty sure you’ll survive a month of not being in there ;P

    I admit, at first I was upset that my full clip didn’t make it…but then i realized that 12 of the 20 seconds of air time were in there…and now my name is on youtube. I feel special.

    P.S. Tin Tin is still more po’d about it than I was xD
    Thanks for the publicity.

    Sweet, my little run made it in. I’m happy :D

  11. Mammothly Acorn says:

    Oh, and I actually thought the music for this month’s video was better than some of the previous ones – GJ pup.

  12. TnT says:

    Nice to see a variety of new people involved. Good editing and presentation Pup, as always. Also, congrats to all those who made it!

  13. puptastrophe says:

    @Acniphyde: I’m sorry if Tin Tin is offended or upset by it, but quite honestly I have to make edits and cuts to a lot of the clips I use for the highlights in order to make everything I choose fit.

    The other option I had with your clip was to not include it at all, since it was so long, but I wanted to be able to get you in there since you hadn’t been in the highlights before.

    Great Highlights once again.

    Also i like the music as always.

  15. ChocolateTiger5 says:

    … Just making sure my question earlier wasn’t overlooked.

    “Just to clarify… how would you like us to submit the film clips?” :)

  16. A Silver Hippo says:

    The Highlights were awesome! Glad I finally made it!

    Thanks again!

    @ChocolateTiger5

    Put them into your fileshare and then recommend them to the gamertag: puptastrophe.

  18. Doc says:

    Loved the music this time, nice job.

    Good to see some new faces in the highlights too, and of course clips from that doc status kid are always enjoyable. I was hoping you would use the clip of me stiffarming you though. :P

  19. puptastrophe says:

    @Doc: Haha…I almost did use that clip but the one I included really made me LOL. I couldn’t pass it up.

  20. MrJocobo says:
