Really good movie. Recommended download for anyone, not just counter-strike fans.
At first, the editing was very confusing, until I let go of my standard "crosshair in the middle of screen, people dying" movie style stereotype and just sat back to enjoy the show. Thusly, I recommend viewers to do this as well. The recamming and style of the video is very nicely done, and gives a pretty unique feel to it overall.
The only thing I probably would've liked to have seen on top of the already spectacular editing was maybe some pulsing/syncing to the music, would've made the flow go even nicer I think (for the second song anyway, first one probably wouldn't have worked).
Yeah though, impressive, and that's hard to do for me with counter-strike :) well done. |

this is one of the few CS vids that i will be watcing more then once. it wont get a million downloads like most because it doesnt focus on frags and who is fragged which is some thing i like.
i loved the editing style, the transitions and effects that were used, most orginal. music was great and fitting, and synced. nice quality
only thing i can say is there were a few places where the hud should have been removed, but only in a few spots did it get in the way.

pretty cool movie! very nice to see something different for a cs movie.
+lots of colors
+music
+content
+quality
+always something moving and going on
-too many scoreboards at times, one like flashed for a second so i didnt like that much
-jerky cam movement at start (dunno if thats only way it can be done in cs or not sorry)
overall really nice, good job.

yeah, definately a new style which i've not seen before. It was often difficult to follow what was going on, whether we were being show re-cammed shots of what came before, or new content, but it certainly looked nice whatever it was. the music to me really wasn't appropriate at all, it didn't really gel with the editing style for me, i dunno.. i just felt the music really served no purpose in the movie... although it was nice to see cs movies keeping up the tradition of linkin park.. gj on that.
overall a nice movie, if a little confusing. I agree with pinkky, the scoreboards and other hud items ruined the sense of abstractivity and did nothing but get in the way and annoy me, and the blipvert style scoreboard shots and photos of players was totally out of place also. Still, nice to know my idling in #morsch all this time hasn't been for nothing, keep up the good work. ;)

omg
I've been with the guys from the movie in the same clan for some time. Greatest Flamers ever, could be prototypes for the underaged CS-Scene :>
Really didn't think that such lame guys could do such a good movie.
I liked the effects and the way the scenes were presented, with all the multiple camera-angels at one time stuff.
Have to agree on shao with the music. It's just there because, anything HAS to be there, could have been a lot more, if they would have used the music on a more symbiosical way with the visual content.

...that such lame guys could do such a good movie. Mason and Steve haven't done this movie, it was morsche Produktion. But he says that those who made this movie are lame. If he don't means that, he should learn how to say what he wants to.

Sorry for the misunderstandings, i'm talking about the playing guys, didn't meant u(r crew), because i didn't know someone else did it.
No offense, congratulations to the great movie. ;)

Sounds interesting
So far only a few movies such as my own and a few others, have exploited the hltv engine properly to make cool camera movements. If this is something new in that genre, then I have to see it :)

+ frags ( that i could see )
+- editing style :/
- sight :)
- effects
- cs :D

VERY original.
By far the most artistic cs vid i have ever seen, the content was ok, kinda difficult to make sense of it at some times.
however I don't think that you followed through with ur style, i was expecting the ENTIRE movie to be like a rotating screen or a multitude of screens, but there were some shots with no screen rotation or overlay, it took away some of the emotion
I think you should have used techno throughout the entire vid (fits better with the scenery you made IMO)
GJ overall, nice to see something different =D

Well the camera things everyone was so on about wasn't the same as I expected.
Anyway, really nice vid. Although the idea of the camera and multiwindows screen isn't new in itself, it is defenetly the first cs vid to use it in such a large scale. So nice work on that.
Really cool effects, but I agree that it was rather overused. Sometimes it was hard to see what happened, but usually it was fine. Nonetheless, it felt kinda pulled out. Big distance between the frags. Felt like one or two clips per minute. So the action was drawn down.
Frags were kinda bad. Mostly ecofrags only. 4/5 kills in eco is ok, but showing it again in slow-motion kinda drags an already semi-bad frag out.
Pretty good audio blending as well.
All in all a different kind of cs movie. Very good editing, though I would have put more effort into creating more action and better content.
High creativity and editing rating.

A different style of editing, but not very entertaining. As boring as most other CS movies.

peace out |

a big plus for creativity. never seen a cs video or any other gaming video made this way. the content was great as far as i could recognize it. sometimes the effects and angles seemed overdone and i couldn't make out anything but in those scenes where they worked, they worked great. music was not to my taste but each to his own. quality was great. overall a very nicely done movie. good job.
