lovely movie, you can see the progress you made after your first movie, good job!

There was one thing that annoyed me, every time you hit these knifes (almost every time), you get that spam in the console where you want to pick your special weapon and cant find all these other weapons. Therefore you cant see where you hit the knife most likely, besides the spam of the weapons you dont have itselfs. I've also mentioned it last time, but that time it didnt annoy me as much as in this movie. But have you ever tried this instead?

Code: Select all

bind key "use special"
Oh, and also i found it funny to see that there were other people using the same sniper rifle. Ive been using this one since 2000 or so and i've never seen anyone else using it before.. its the best sniper skin around! :)

Damnit, pauhi, you've learned a lot in the last time. To quote yourself:

That was on January 13th, twosix. Good job on improving your skills, lad.

I honour that with some more detailed feedback from my side:

You've managed to give the whole movie a comic style, which I personally really liked. You do this not only by using comic-alike video effects (SPLATTER!) but by using bloodsplatter effect, celshading & a comic styled scope for example. Well done, that was a point I was missing on your last movie - the overall theme.
The speeding effects were more present than in your last video, but there's still need for improvement in my mind. Some very nice frags were still to fast and therefore not visualized enough. You've done a fragmovie what actually means that you wanna present your frags. Keep that in the back of your mind while editing a movie. :->
The worst point of your movie was the lack of sound effects. You've done so with your "headshots" (which were well placed but maybe too loud for my personal taste). Sound effects do some serious work in drawing the viewer's attention into the action.
I enjoyed your replay since it was an alternation to the rest of the fragscenery, but you could have visualized that replay better. Take a look at sport replays for example (just do so). See how they work with zoom & slow motion and try to figure out why they do so.

Sorry for mainly mentioning the negative points here. I want to a.) motivate you doing further movies and improve your skills, and b.) give ya some hints on doing better movies. Afterall I enjoyed watching your movie.

Now: go ahead, give us some more. :->

Thx (for that movie).

downing.

Really nice movie :)

too lazy to post my positive impressions, so here are the critics:
-more 3rd person please :( would have been great if you showed a closer camera at the double ssg headshot... maybe a perspective from the side, moving beside the both players while they gib... those frags still have a big potential. Or make a cameraflight following a knife ;)
-music way better as in the last soundtrack, and it fits well to the movie, but a lil more rhythmic one makes a movie more exciting

Definetly enjoyed it tho, and its quite nice to see all the new moviemakers popping up ;)
