yup i`m back prowling the servers collecting demos for a brand new movie,i finally got some motivation (thx Tania).

I`m thinking of an FFA movie not a pure frag movie,just something fast and furious or loud and lewd :).

shit...i forgot how fast this game is (quake 3) looks like i need some practise again.

2 days in a row I joined my usual pub server.. joined the game mid way into it.. forgot to start demoing and got a really nice frag.. look up and realize I didn't demo it.  2 days in a row is just frustrating.. Since I didn't demo.. i'll go ahead and spew out the shots that I'll probably never hit again:

1. wcp18, enemy flag carrior was about to cap.. I shot a rocket at his feet about a jump away from him capping, poped him up then nailed him with a clean mid air for a mid air holy shit.

2. wcp14, was at the side bouncer at the flag stand playing d.. I heard the enemy near the mega spawn, so I shot a rocket in the path where people usually rocketjump once they touch the flag on the map.. sure a moment after i shot the rocket.. the guy grabbed the flag, rocketjumped and right at the apex of his arch, when he though he had it made out of the base my rocket nabbed him.  Specs went nuts and talked about the shot for like 5 minutes.. none of them demoed either.

Finally, the config is done for aftermath. Some real nice tweeks and whatnot.. One of my concerns was having cg_drawstatus enabled and I believe I'm going to have it off unless the shot calls for it.  Being one who sticks with paterns it kinda sucks to do irregular things, but it will all work out great when the video is near completion.

I'm working on a few post extraction techniques on aftermath to give the footage a new look.. which also should help out on compression.. The process to get the footage like I want it is extremely long and I think I'll hold off on doing it to the footage untill after I've placed and syched the footage to the music so I am not wasting my time on shots that may not make it into the video.  This has taken  about 2 days to discover/test and I'm quiet pleased with the output.

I should be able to do some sort of editing tonight when I get home.. Probably start with the intro a bit.. Still searching for a few songs though.. I have 3 content songs but I would feel better if I could find a 4th song around 4 or so minutes in length for some of the quad/flag runs.

Horray this is the first blog entry
