Frags, editing, imagequality and the "atmosphere" were mostly very great. But all that over-use of effects made it look mostly like a big show-off. And I still dont like those textures, skins and in-game sounds (mostly those fancy textures just ruins the map). Anyway, you sure did bring some progress in to future AQ2videos. Well done.

The other things I would do different
- make the movie shorter, 2 cut the things u dont like like the others away is never a problem
- no impressive/x/y sounds in a row
- work more on the MAX sequences
- no slow motion after each shot
- is this Matrix bullet time a must in each movie?

Things i liked very much:
+ sync work
+ very niZe unique footage
+ eventfullness
+ some recams
+ the reallife vid in the end
+ the CSvsAQ2 pic :-)

In other words, HoHo, sticky bomb is liking u :-).

I did lot of edit, I used 50% of the material I had, maybe a little long, but I liked that way because Im not making any more actionq2 movies....
Im not going to answer the other things... is your opinion but remeber, is my second movie :D

Don't worry someone will review it. I hope.


Edit:
Ok, just downloaded it and watched at school, it took a little bit more than 3 minutes, edome is nice :). I should be in a class right now, shows me how much I looked forward to it. I must say, I wasn't dissapointed. A bit too many similar kills, too heavy on the slomo effects, and I don't want to see impressive/excellent rewards unless they are truly consecutive.

Apart from the slomo-effects, editing was done properly imo; not too many recams, which I usually find a trifle annoying. I would have enjoyed a recam on one particular kill in u3, in which someone is on the slated roof, another player wants to land there, get's shot (in the leg I believe), the first player jumps back and up in the same motion and shoots him again. Also I liked the grenade recams, funny skin on the grenade, too.

Interesting map choices, I doubt you'll see THAT much of tj and urban3 in european aq2 movies. Also I think I didn't see a single cloud frag, and since I know caracol doesn't like the map, maybe that's true for the entire chilean scene. Could have been more maps in there, I think.

Music was okay, I only like the prodigy track but overall it has been properly synced and that's important for me. I REALLY enjoyed the 3dsmax addition, I find that a wonderful thing to see, a bit too many of the same ball-scratching wave though.

Well, I'll leave the rest of it to a 'professional', as in someone who has actual experience doing this kind of thing. All I can do is fire up premiere and photoshop, and add some music to my frags. One last thing, you say this is your second and last aq2 movie, which I find quite a shame. I think there is still alot of possibilites for you to grow here. Oh yeah, and your sniper scope sucks imo.

It was boring at the beginning but turned to entertaining aq2-movie very soon :)

Bullet effect was freaking nice once again!

+Effects
+Frags
+Music
+Sync with audio and video.

-It wasn't as entertaining as other movies that i've seen lately, too bad :/
-Slowmotion after every hit doesn't look good.


Overall 7.5/10
