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

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

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?

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.
