Arch linux animated logo

Rio6000 · 2008-06-10 15:46:51

I don't think it wil be on tv:P but i would really like to see it being used on something. Do with it what you want.
and maybe a little reference to me would be nice

Oh chimeric, thanx for doing the sound, I just have two suggestions. The rattling sound when it's spinning, while it's a nice it just gives the logo a bit of a broken, clunky feel.
Also the last sound, which i'd love to use on one of my other logo's, is too light i think. It would be more of a deep boom, to give the feeling of stability.

It's great that you liked it finferflu, and thanks for the ccmixter link. i think i'm gonna be there a couple of times more:)

Nice
That is all.

timetrap · 2008-06-10 21:11:10

NICE!

(I used to do a little stop motion animation myself)

I would slow down that transition at 2.5 seconds (when the A jumps back). It happens a hair too fast, I don't quite recognize the transition until its jumped. So it looks like a few frames of the transition were cut.

Excellent job IMHO.

This is a fine candidate for the artwork section. I like it!

The first time I saw it, I quickly imagined this video to be shown during boot process instead of splashy or something like that.... It plays just 1 time and stands still.... It'd be very cool though

I tried putting this in my ~/.xinitrc:

mplayer ~/dl/archanimatedmoviewithsound.mov
. ~/.fehbg
xbindkeys
exec xmonad

but mplayer stalled and didn't play anything.

Denacke · 2008-06-11 16:34:30

I used

mplayer -vo x11 -fs OperaDownloads/archanimatedsound.mkv

and that worked
not sure why changing video output to x11 works, but it also improves playback on other video files for me also added -fs for full screen

Hmm that didn't work for me. I have come up with this kludge:

mplayer ~/dl/archanimatedmoviewithsound.mov &
sleep 4.3s

Benzo: I like how your audio does not start with a BANG!, but it almost ends with one.

Hey Benzo, thnx.
I just layered your sound over chimeric's sound and it was pretty cool

now i'm just looking for the ideal finishing sound, when the logo lands. Benzo's was a good start, i need a deep, low boom, but not to loud.

BTW: great to see people trying to use it as a boot screen, would be nice wouldn't it:) Isn't there any bootscreen software that can play a series of images or something?

Oh my..can you do this:

"Archlinux - It's what you make it"

Perfect for commercial distribution of Arch Linux CDs.

The video with 3 different endings in this link http://www.mediafire.com/?chxsz9wyz1r

venox · 2008-06-14 16:20:00

That's really awesome!
I can see it being used in lectures about Arch Linux, Youtube videos or somewhere else.

smakked · 2008-09-26 03:43:23

That is Awesome work, Well done.!

jazz.arch · 2008-09-26 06:08:00

Great work!

Wintervenom · 2008-09-26 07:07:35

I set this as my Openbox splash screen. It's awesome. ^_^

Awesome!

Another way to grab is:

wget http://mirror.video2.blip.tv/Rio6000-ArchlinuxAnimationWithSound207.mov

For anyone that cares, gecko-mediaplugin for gnome-mplayer is far superior to mplayer-plugin. The only catch is that it depends on gnome-mplayer which may be too simple for some people. The good news is that it's developing future mplayer-plugins.

Nice work.

atomkarinca · 2008-09-26 17:39:46

It's great. I too made it my Fluxbox splash screen.

keytouchd &
(sleep 1 && xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap) &
(sleep 1 && numlockx) &

exec openbox-session

rson451 · 2008-10-03 20:37:30

Take the & off of the end of your mplayer line.

arch0r · 2008-10-03 22:57:05

thx. it's awesome!
added it to my openbox autostart file. splashes up during pypanel, conky and feh load

bavardage · 2008-10-04 11:17:09
