Review by B.Woods

Summary:
A solid video by one of the most well established video editors around. On top of that it presents on of the best Q3 Trickers of all time, M@rz, in all his defragging glory.

Creativity: 9
I have to really say that this video gives us some new camera angles, new editing styling and just mindblowing effects. There are things done with this video that I can't expect to see from anyone else in a long time. Just a mastermind effort in terms of creative camera use. Defrag movies have been done time and time again, the music was a tad different than the norm.

The only problem I see was near the end where effects were starting to be recycled. But there isn't too much wrong with that at all IMHO. I'm trying my hardest to nitpick it.

Editing: 9
This is really where the video shines. Like I said, the effects, the cams, even the sync, practically perfect. I didn't really like the desaturating effects and the glow, you could have tried to sharpen them so that they didn't look like blobs on the screen. Still a monster effort, I loved the splitscreen + overlay to just the overlay. The first map was a good transition as well.

What can you say, it's defrag. I don't like it to be honest but I can respect the timing and skill it takes to finish these maps. Espically the final strafe run. M@rs was the first person to do a perfect run on that map, last I knew, he was still the only one to do so. Crazy crazy crazy skill.

Quality: 10
The video is clean. You will never notice the compression, everything is sharp and looks like a pro effort. Great job with the render FU3L3D.

Overall: 9
I have to say this is a MUST download for any Q3 tricker... scratch that, for any GAMER PERIOD. This is one of the most groundbreaking movies of all time, it's up there with iT2 and 4kRevolution in terms of editing and quality. FU3L3d can only get better from here, which is a scary thing to imagine ^_^

Summary:
Fu3l3d once again proves his editing skills in this stunningly clean cut video.

Just the way i like it.

Creativity: 9
I'm not a pro on trickjumping but there were some amazing maps I have never seen in game or in any other vids. Looking at the video in terms editing effects I must say fu3l3d pushed the envelope on this one. I watched the video a few times already and Im still finding new details i didn't notice before.

Editing: 10
Editing is just the way I like it, very neat and full of quality effects. Not like some other videos that look like a hooker with too much make up but thats just me... The music was very appropriate for this kind of vid, infact I thought it was excellent and I will soon be adding it to my playlist. =p

Content was great im giving it this rating only because im comparing it to other trickjumping giants and im in a bad mood today. Its really a struggle between 8-9.

Sorry :]

This videos quality was as clean and crisp as evian water. However, there were some minor defects such as issues with anti aliasing which I should just shut up about. Since it was absolutely worth the download the file size is more than ok with me and it should be for anyone with broadband!

Overall: 9
This video is a keeper for me. GJ m@rs and Fu3l3d.
