Slow-Motion Effect with Quicktime Pro!

Okay, this is a bit of a change from my usual posts, as I get a bit technical here. It's actually not about barefoot babes per se, but it will impact quality of many of my future videos. It's a nice little trick I learned from this cool blog.

As you all know, I do edit my vids and add effects quite often- and slow-motion is perhaps my most-used effect. All this time though, I’ve had to make do with the rather sub-standard results of the old iMovie HD6. I’ve had to use this simply because Apple removed most effects, slow-motion included, from the new iMovie (like, WTH?). All this time though I’ve never really been satisfied with the slow-mo; it’s got a strobe-like effect which is just not as smooth as I’d like. To get the smoother results I want, I’d probably have to get a better and probably more expensive editing software suite… that is, until I found out about this neat trick.

If you have QuickTime Pro, you’ll probably be aware that you can adjust playback speeds with the A/V Controls under the ‘Windows’ menu (up to 50% slower playback). The problem with this is that this is just a playback speed change that doesn’t actually make your clip longer or shorter; once you import the vid into your editing software it reverts back to the normal playspeed. If only there was a way to make that slower playspeed permanent! Well, there is, actually, and all you need is QT Pro and some bits of cutting and pasting.

How to get slow-motion (50%) with QuickTime Pro (that’s PRO, okay. So if you’ve just got plain, Vanilla QT, this won’t work).

1. Have your 'Source' clip (the part you want slowed down) ready. Create a new empty movie ('New Player') under the 'File' menu.

2. With your Source clip, press Ctrl + A (Select All), then Ctrl + C (Copy).

3. Switch to the New Player, then Ctrl + V (Paste) twice. This gives you a movie double the length of your original Source clip.

4. In the new player go to the 'Windows' menu and go to 'Show Movie Properties'. Select 'Video Track' and delete.

5. Now switch back to the Source Clip and press Ctrl + C (Copy) again.

6. Switch back to the new player and this time from the Edit menu select “Add to selection & scale”. This will stretch your pasted movie to the length of the new player, doubling the duration and thus making it slow-mo. Save your new movie and it's ready for editing!

So you may ask, does this trick make a difference from the in-built slow-mo effect in iMovie HD6? Well, check the clips I’ve posted below to see the difference… I’m sure you can see the quality of the QTP slow-mo is noticeably smoother and therefore better!





I’ll be incorporating this trick with all my upcoming and future videos, and I just may (being the anal arse that I am) redo many of my KO ryona with the improved effect. Bottom-line, this should make my vids a lot nicer and all our barefoot babes easier to appreciate. Ain’t that nice? Okay, enough tech stuff. Back to game playing and babe ogling then!

Chun-Li vs Vega SF2 Anime Rematch Battle! (Super Streetfighter IV Arcade Edition on PC)


Chun Li vs Vega by SolePatrol
The Chun-Li vs Vega fight is still the sexiest fight in game anime to this day, I think.

Here's some SSFIV PC barefoot babe action, featuring the lovely Chun-Li dressed in her mad-hot Streetfighter II the Animated Movie Mod Skin by Sloth86. I've done this in three parts, with Chun and Vega battling it out for Best of 3. Will this rematch end in Vega eating Chun's soles in the face once again, or will the Shadaloo Assassin carve out a win? Well, watch the sexy in-game action and find out!


The first round goes to Vega, leaving the lovely Interpol agent down and out.


Wounded but triumphant, Chun-Li takes the second round to stay alive.


The final round sees Chun shedding the ripped shirt to fight in her undies... does Vega stand a chance against such hotness?

The SF2 Chun-Li mod skin has become my new favorite, even if I'm still loving 'Escape from Shadaloo' Cammy first and foremost in SSFIV PC. But I have to say, Chun-Li has jumped right almost next to her now thanks to the new mod. It's really a dream come true for us to enjoy this awesome fan service outfit, so once again I have to say thanks to Sloth86 for making this gaming barefoot babe otaku dream come true. Enjoy the vids, and dream of Chun-Li pressing her lovely soles into our faces. Just not too hard please...? Heheh...

Chun-Li Streetfighter 2 the Animated Movie Mod! (Super Streetfighter IV Arcade Edition on PC)


Sloth86 recreates the classic fan service Chun-Li outfit for gamers.

Footfans, first and foremost, let all of us say to the awesome modder Sloth86... 'YOU FRAKKIN' RULE!' Because he does, and to show that he has brought the most famous, hottest and most-fantasized fan service look for the beautiful Chun-Li ever into actual gameplay. Yep, as I posted earlier, Sloth has recreated the barefoot, lingerie-clad Chun from the classic Streetfighter II Animated Movie as a mod skin for Super Streetfighter IV Arcade Edition for PC.


The Hottest Battle of the Sexes in Anime.

In the case of the incredible chance that you're not familiar with the SF2 Anime, I'm of course referring to the 1994 animated SF2 film which featured perhaps the sexiest anime fight ever: A full-on brawl between Shadaloo Master Assassin Vega and his unsuspecting target, Interpol Agent Chun-Li, fresh out of the shower and dressed in just her bra, panties and a flimsy nightshirt.


They don't make anime like this anymore...

The fight is a long and grueling fight for both combatants with Chun getting slashed multiple times and beaten up royally... but it's Vega who gets the worse of it, receiving a painful stomp-and-grind right on his face from Chun-Li's kick-ass and hot feet, a full Lightning Leg Barrage and at the very end, an amazing Ultra-esque Double Foot Stomp (I would say it's similar to the final blow of her SSFIV Hosenka Ultra) right to the Kisser which sends him screaming through a wall and into the darkness of obilivion. Needless to say, we don't see Vega again in the film.


What a sight for sore eyes (and body, in Vega's case)...

Sloth's masterwork mod includes not only a truly accurate-looking mod ripped from the film (complete with details such as Chun's slightly-messed up hair, the yellow shirt and the lacy look of her undies) but it includes a full 10-color lineup of variants with both Clean and Wounded versions (Which is darn cool... I don't particularly like the blood). The last two outfits will please all to no end, I'm sure- it's Chun in just her bra-and-panties (I call it the 'ChUndies' outfits... heheh) which I say is a sight that once again makes me HAPPY that I invested in a PC Laptop for this game!


From anime-accurate versions (bloody and clean) and color variants to sexy Undies Only versions... it's all here.

I just have to say that there are a couple of downers in this development- the first is that the SF2 Anime Mod didn't make it into the recent Mod Skin Poll I've been running all month- since I'm pretty sure THIS skin would have far-and-away been the winner (I think). Oh well...
The second downer is that now I have to remove Sloth's earlier but still darn awesome Chun-Li Gymnast Mod and replace it with the SF2 Anime Skin. I can always reinstall it if I have a hankering for Chun in a leotard but hell... what could be better than ChUndies? Heheh. The awesome skin can be downloaded here.


Chun's Hosenka Ultra, in Anime Form.

Anyway, once again I have to thank Sloth86 for his awesome work, and all of you should too! I'll be posting a TON of videos with SF2 Anime Chun-Li very soon, featuring all the color variants. It'll take time, but I'll post them within the week, so stay tuned. Man, with SSFIV AE PC and VF5FS... it's GREAT to be a FootFan Gamer!!!

Chun-Li Gymnast Color Variants (Super Streetfighter IV Arcade Edition for PC)


Ooh, so many colors!

A couple of nice updates here for our favorite barefoot modded fighting game. Regarding the lovely Chun-Li Gymnast outfit originally made by Sloth86 (one of the best barefoot mods available), a cool color pack has been made and released for it by modder g4m3ov3r. Previously, only one color was available, and trying to select a different one would crash the game. With this new mod (copy and pasted over Sloth's original) however, that is no longer a problem. The variants are really nice, albeit I was really hoping for blue (reference to her default costume) and pink among the choices- but that's just a nitpick. My favorite is still the original red, but the black-and-red no. 10 variant is hellasexy- like an 'evil' version... well, as evil as a lovely barefoot Gymnast can be. Heheh... Anyway, the color pack mod can be downloaded here.

The other cool update regards the current project of our favorite barefoot modder- apparently Sloth86 is working on recreating Chun-Li's look from the classic Streetfighter II The Animated Movie! It's a costume pretty much everyone here has been asking for, so it's awesome that it's coming- let's cross our fingers that Sloth works his usual magic and delivers another cool and faithful recreation (I have little doubt he can do it, given how close and accurate his mods have been, such as his pretty mindblowingly awesome Vanille skin (FFXIII) for Ibuki). Later then!

Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown FINALLY Coming to Consoles in 2012!!!


Sarah's coming to your PS3 or Xbox360. Oh, yeah.

Perhaps the single most wonderful news for us barefoot videogame babe fans all year has finally arrived! Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown has FINALLY been announced for consoles. This downloadable, standalone release (no need to own the original VF5 disc) will be coming to PSN and Xboxlive in Summer 2012.

In case you haven't seen any of the gazillion articles I've posted about VF5FS, let me enlighten you. Final Showdown is the latest and GREATEST upgrade to Sega's flagship fighter- arguably the finest one-on-one fighting game out there, it also has the distinction of pretty much having oodles of fan service- which includes, YES, Barefoot Customization for ALL the game's hot and sexy female fighters as well as sexy costumes which include skimpy swimsuits and bikinis. In other words, VF5 Final Showdown is a Dream Come True for us! Bikinis banned in Tekken? Well, who cares! VF5FS is all we need! WOOHOO!!!


The VF5 Final Showdown Console Announcement Trailer.


Yes, we 'heart' you too, bikini-clad cutie.

At long last, The delectable ladies of VF: Pai Chan, Sarah Bryant, Aoi Umenokoji, Vanessa Lewis and Eileen will be OURS, baring their hot, perfect soles and toes (and MORE) in the comfort of our home consoles. It's still a long way off (Summer 2012), but man- it'll be here long before Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for consoles. It's something truly to look forward to, if there's anything worth looking forward to in barefoot babe games. This is indeed truly something to rejoice about. Seeya in Summer 2012, ladies!

The Trickster: Barefoot Female Assassin (Assassin's Creed Revelations)


The Trickster- one barefoot rose among the many thorns in ACR Mutliplayer.

As a bit of a change from the recent domination of the blog by barefoot babes from Streetfighter, here's an unshod lass from a totally different genre- an upcoming stealth/action-adventure game and much-anticipated sequel to the blockbuster Assassin's Creed series, Assassin's Creed Revelations. This game continues (and concludes) the story of Ezio Auditore, the Italian Assassin who's been battling the Knights Templars all his life. To be honest, I haven't played this series as much as I should, though I do know that an earlier installment, Assassin's Creed 2, had barefoot NPC babes. But the upcoming sequel has been brought to my attention by one of the viewers at my Youtube Channel (Thanks, Dahaka30 for the heads up!) due to the existence of a barefoot babe in the roster of playable characters in ACR's Multiplayer mode.

The babe is called The Trickster, a gypsy-like rogue who looks certainly hot enough to distract and tempt any male with her tantalizing toes and soles. But of course, like all of the assembled Multiplayer minions, she's a hardened killer and will slash, stab or strangle anyone in her way given the chance. I'm hoping her attack animations involve her jamming her foot into her victim's faces or something similar. Certainly this deadly damsel can move as sexily as she looks!


Get ready to play Footsie with The Trickster in Assassins Creed's Multiplayer Mayhem.

Aside from using The Trickster in Multiplayer, there's also a chance that players will be able to chase this barefoot babe's speedy soles in the game's Solo Campaign- I know I'll indeed want to chase her to the ends of the earth just to get at those feet! Well, we'll see how awesome this game is as the months tick down to Assassins Creed Revelations' release in November. Till then, I'll keep my eyes out for more pics and videos of her in action. For now, enjoy the pic and dream of her teasing, tricky feet tip-toeing about...

Ibuki Confirmed in Streetfighter X Tekken (UPDATED with VIDEO!)


Ibuki's intro animation gives us a great sole shot- Awesome!

Just a nice news post- footfans now have at least one reason to await the upcoming console brawler Streetfighter X Tekken. It's now confirmed that Ibuki, the super-cute shoeless kunoichi is now part of the roster. She's sure to have her cool attacks and techniques where she's aiming her lovely soles at her opponents' faces. Though it's still unconfirmed, rumor has it that Makoto, Ibuki's friend and rival from SSFIV and SF3, will also be appearing in this game. Aside from that it's almost certain that Asuka Kazama will also be kicking butt, hopefully sporting her nice hakamas and instep guards that show off her pretty heels and toes. I'll be keeping an eye on this fighting game from here on in. Things look good for us footies in 2012!

Ibuki and her pretty ninja feet are set to kick ass in Streetfighter X Tekken!


WIll there be more barefoot babes in SFXT?
