I wont comment the frags :) Would have been nice if you could explain in any form why the frags were important. Nice to see some humor in a movie. I also used the killbill song in my movie, but not much guys have seen it here so no problemo lol. I think it's a quit nice movie if you are a member of your clan, played in the same cup or gaming movie lover :).

Hi Frolix :D . Nice to see you here. I will check the movie and comment later.

P.S: Please don't check my first movie here. It's sort of embarassing. Got a big movie on it's way with some cup action also.

Edit :

Constructive criticism =>
- Picture was good quality although it could have benefitted from some antialiasing (if you have a Geforce 4 card, ignore).
- A bit bright but details were perfectly visible.
- Syncing of in-game sounds is pretty much ok.
- The movie starts off a bit like an assault movie with the same style of music. It doesn't quite fit the slower pace of dm but bleh.
- Team aspect was underlined. This is a big +++ in a tdm movie. Too many movie makers are concentrating on the leet and neat.
- The lettering used to indicate the players is dark and tends to go unnoticed.
- The flow was good. The music was handled like a playlist and fits with the way the movie was constructed.
- Frags not exactly spectacular but you play tdm to win, not to show off. And I don't have that many super frags myself from the fall cup.
- Transitions weren't overused and were discreet.

Comments :
- Wtf was up with the (tactical ?) suiciding ? I'd have thought that's a bit no-no when one frag can sometimes make a difference.
- Sphx plays for K also ?
- That hopecb map looks interesting. A bit like Nitro but more indoors. Did it actually play well in TDM ?

This is good critisism, ive kinda posted my comments to yours

- I do have a G-Force card, so i guess that explains the AntiAliasing
- I deliberatly tried to make it brighter, i think there are too many great movies, but imo just too dark
- The sound syncing, now i really had BIG problems with this in Vdub, when i came to do my appending of the avi's the sound was out by a slight amount on 2 of my avi's, so i had to resample the sound with all clips and when i pieced the movie together the sound didnt quite match the original - gutted!! - if anyone has a solution to this id be grateful of the fix.
- Choice of music is always a bit complicated, but i ripped the audio out of the film "the italian job" and really wanted to use that for the intro to frags, this was the easiest music track that i could manage to sync up :)
- Thx for the comment on teamplay, i sacrificed a lot of time and effort to produce a boring movie, but i really did want to show the real UT, not some ownage frags which, lets face it were all capable of staged or not :)
- The lettering to indicate players during frags was done deliberatly dark, so more attention was payed to the movie/frag and not the players - but point taken maybe i should have made it brighter/lighter
- A lot of the music tracks were actually chosen by my children, lol, they have a natural ability to react to high energy music - you should see them run up and down the lounge :)
- OK, yeah the tactical suicide is an odd one to explain - with creating a "clan cup" movie, i really wanted to get as many players from our clan to be in the movie - so youll notice the name changes to "Gueststar" and the name appears in white - they were part of the cup, but had no actual frag footage of them, also it was to be like a bit of fun/humor.
- Hopecb was a good map, a bit large, but good control areas, i h8'd at first and by the end of the cup we grew to like it, shame it wasnt used in this cup also.

Thx Azeera :)

Arg, you did that in VirtualDub ? Get a decent program that allows you to move and cut sound. I think Premiere can do this but also Vegas and After Effects. When you've gotten things just right, import the video into Virtualdub then set interleaving to every frame with a 500 ms preload.

Most of the problems have been already said...Like sound syncing, quality, frags, etc.

The only things I didn't enjoy..
- Music (not nearly my taste)
- Frags skipped all over the place (durin the matches, would go from a kill in the end of the game, to at the beginning of the same game).
- Needs more organization (Start with the 1st matches and frags, then go from beginning to end, then 2nd match, 3rd match, etc...Same with rounds)
- quality on pics, horrible, couldn't read half the words ;x

5.5/10 for creativity

(Late post, sorry)
