Line Drive (Williams 1972) - Loading
By cerebusk
Format: 1080p60
The available artwork for this game isn't very easy to use in a video, especially in one that has to ultimately be in a 9x16 aspect ratio. So I elected to redraw most of the elements myself on this one. Also, I used the logo as it appears on the game's flyer because it's has a more interesting look. The rest of the video is made from some stock video of fireworks and a clip from NBC's broadcast of game 4 of the 1972 World Series where Dick Green hits a line drive that results in a double - and Pete Rose almost manages to throw him out. The video quality is a bit shaky, but you can see what's going on. The video and audio are both slightly edited to make the clip more compact and comprehensible.
If you are wondering how I managed to find a random clip of a line drive in a 2+ hour broadcast (even with the commercials removed), it turns out that if you download the automated subtitle track that YouTube generates for most of their videos, you can search it for keywords and then use the timestamp of the caption to find a specific event in the video.

Lariat (Gottlieb 1969) - Loading

Format: 1080p60
So, is the theme of this game really "trying to lasso rabbits from the front of a moving car"? Hmm. Well, at least there is an Indian in full dress playing pinball on the front porch.
The video is made from the game's backglass. The audio is "Jerry's Breakdown" as performed by Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins.

Lights...Camera...Action! (Gottlieb 1989) - Loading
By cerebusk
Format: 1080p60
This video is built from the game's backglass. The audio is a combination of samples from the game ("Lights...Camera...Action!" and the gunshot) plus some stock audio and then a famous clip from the movie "Dirty Harry". I put the audio clips from the game through some sound processing to make them sound less mechanical and it really made the director's voice sound a lot different.
This game's theme is meant to evoke the filming of a Dirty Harry movie of which the final sequel, "Dead Pool", had been released the previous year. Obviously, they couldn't use Clint Eastwood's likeness without getting sued, but the setting is definitely San Francisco and it features a cop shooting at bad guys in the middle of a crowd, so it's definitely Dirty Harry. I tried to find a clip to use from "Dead Pool," and I even sat through that terrible movie looking for something, but I came up empty. Honestly, the only redeeming feature of that movie is that you get to see Jim Carrey get murdered. I don't have anything against him, but it was fun to see him get eliminated in the first reel.
I also briefly considered using something from the movie "Cop" which also came out in 1988. That movie stars James Woods and I think the cop character on the backglass actually looks a bit more like him than Clint Eastwood.
BTW, my goal is to make videos for as many existing VPX tables that are based on real tables as possible. If you want to see a specific table happen sooner rather than later, please look here:
