» MEDIA (1) Crank that S#!t up with NVIDIA!

Explanation of the video -- I created a concept of a graphics galvanometer that lets you crank the graphics up/down on a system. This video basically demonstrates the working of this imaginary device and what happens when you "Crank it up" to the highest level of graphics/performance.

Note that with GeForce you can not only support better games, but also improve the processing time using the GPU (using CUDA), like some of the simulations I have included in this video. PhysX, 3D, Surround Gaming, etc are mostly related to gaming, but we should not forget technologies like SLi, CUDA, Optimus, etc that are Proprietary to NVIDIA and nobody does them better. In some cases, nobody else does them at all, like 3D and Optimus :). I have tried to make this point as well by enumerating these technologies within the video and showing clips that depict them. So when you crank it up to NVIDIA, games are not the only thing that improve!!

Credits and description of content -- The video includes the demo clips of some proprietary technologies like Eyefinity from ATi (Crysis Demo shown in ATi section), NVIDIA's 3D vision, surround gaming, Cuda related applications (hair rendering demo), PhysX demo (rocketsled), Batman:Arkham Asylum (improved with PhysX), and some hollywood and sports related usages of the graphics cards by NVIDIA - NASCAR (not sure what the technology is called, but being able to point out the cars and the drivers while the race is on using the message balloons), Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, James Cameron's Avatar, and the rendered fire in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. The music is by Ratatat. The video clips that were "borrowed" from other people on youtube have been credited at the end of the video. The logos of the companies are their property and I would like to credit them for that.

This video took me 2 weeks to make and a ton of research looking for clips and learning to use the basic video editing tools such as iMovie and Windows Movie Maker. I don't currently own a desktop, but I have a macbook and a pc laptop which I used to create this video. I am hoping for the prize to be my first desktop. :P
