what do you prefer..

..for a fragmovie!

fast paced frags?
sprees?
hitsounds?
cams for spam frags?
and so on.

also, do you value nice 3mans with loads of headshots if they are against skilled opponents? (e.g. vs dignitas/idle, uQ/parodia or some other hyped up clans) or do you only rate bigger frags?

fast paced frags with 666 headshots will do
fast frags and good sprees
hitsounds
rather no spam frags at all if we are talking about those million times seen spawn support fires / 3 man panzers / artilleries

3 man is fine if its fast enough and enemies are at least trying to shoot back.
do the "million times seen spawn supports / 3 man panzers etc" seem better if it's a really well known opponent or? is a frag vs an oc team just as nice as a frag vs a top ec team?:d
Parent
its just better when its in some intense moment, for example @ goldrush some nice 3-4 spam spawnkill with 1:30 on the clock while docs are taken. you could show entire action with some nice cams, would be a good idea i guess

SOUNDS LIKE THE ALNC MOVIE

It was pretty cool yeah!

fast pace frags
hitsounds

enough cams to keep it interesting, but not too many so the frags are still the focus. Sprees can be there, if they atleast involve some skill and if atleast one of the opponents is shooting back. Noone likes to see someone getting random frag sprees on opponents running into a crossfire.
Watching your naked photos till the end (dont care how long <3)
- Fast paced frags with matching music
- Hitsounds
- Rifle & panzer cams (if there are any frags with those)
- Not too many freecams
- Not too long intro

(- End filled with spam kills and disgusting scream music :PPPP)
atmosphere and climate

I'm romantic
I like fast paced movies. As for the enemy skill, who gives a shit as long as it looks nice?
I do, they need to be shooting back atleast. That or the skill to pull of what is being show should be obvious :p
Parent
Well yeah, obviously backraping is boring, but fast frags seldom are from the back anyways.
Parent
I can't really enjoy movies displaying frags against medskillers/mixes exclusively to be honest. I really do value seeing highskilled opponents getting fragged and those frags need not necessarily be amazingly sick.
Parent
quite the opposite of what I value to see unfortunately

I much rather watch frags versus the oh-you-so-called med skilled clans (not mixes, here's a point for you), but getting literally pwn'd
Parent
Tbh, I don't find frags against medskill that entertaining. It's incredibly easy to pull of a movie worthy scene against med skill if you're a good player, but it takes alot of skill to do the same against skilled opponents.
Parent
fair enough, your point of view
the world would collapse if everyone would have the same opinion on everything ; )

loazis is just a 'noob' hater though : P
Parent
perfect mix of fast paced frags and spam frags, story based movie, hitsounds, cams, nice colors, nice quality, and the most important points: atmosphere, creativity, good editing
omg no story based movies please
Parent
they are pretty good I think, and I know a lot succesful movies that are story based
Parent
fast paced and with hitsound :-)
frags with loads of headshots, but also nice sprees
hitsounds on (all the time!)
cams are alright, but really intense and dynamic ones > done really properly! (smooth!) < (wede could teach you) - but do them at a different pace than those fast frags, so one can exhaust for a moment, but without breaking the flow completely (for reference watch supports/arty scene in winghaven second nature)

3 mans are fine
no repetitious frags, no a dozen times done pf/support frags, even if they are versus dignitas (everyone can do them, they require nearly no skill)

totally agree with crook btw

gl with your project (prick :P)
Good music to go with the syncing and very very creative editing! Fast pace and hitsounds are always a bonus to get pumped up.
hitsounds & drawgun 1. Nice sprees with nice headshots, don't need many spam frags.
Nice picture
a mix of all is best but mostly: sick shots, crucial kills, not so much splashweapons
splashweapons?

RNADE PANZER & SO OONN
Parent
oh. well would prolly just be seeing panzerfrags 8d
Parent
knife frags only
colt frags only
3hs/kill or I downvote it
I would love to see a movie once only with important or crucial frags that helped to win the round or a stage for the team. Could be even a one man frag that opened up space for the team. It should also show the team advancing through this area then and grab the gold etc.

There are so many movies out there filled with totally useless frags, like one second before respawn or some backrape in garbage time.

Oh and I don't like hitsounds at all!
I agree with the first part, how annoying is it to see someone picking up a three of four man kill which in the process results in the dynamite being defused? Ruins the frag completely.

Frags in clutch situations are so much more inspiring.

You've got to have hitsound though!

well I'm currently working on razz's movie but between his slow uploads of demos I work on an allstar movie (kinda longterm project I guess, like Requiem took -Max- ~2years or so). found frags from all of these guys:

Night, T6nis, intact, mystic, theeta, Sanctity, Juhan, perfo, guardian, RaZiel, zerom, FeTTe, Pjoter, Darkie

haven't had the time to look at much 'new' content, most of this stuff is from 2004. also have a frag by you vs estar (2 arty 2 thompson) but it's a known frag, it'd be cool if you'd be able to send me a big frag and maybe one frag in the area you were talking about, say an amazing 1man that saved an important match or something =] those kind of frags aren't easy to come by, 5man frags etc are somehow easier :/
Parent
Hm, you could check the final of CPC1 against sFx.LAN. I saved radar with 1hp and returned the docs on frostbite with a few seconds left. Same match even. I'm pretty sure I also have the shoutcast somewhere on some external drive, if you are interested.

Kinda did the same vs engine/altv on some radar match in EC 2004? 2005? No idea.
Also a match changing airstrike with central europe team vs scandinavia in some allstar match 2004 I believe. On CC6 I killed Xylos on delivery with Luger, he would have had a free way to the controls and we might have lost the match at this point, if I didn't manage to kill him.

What you gotta add is r3vers' sneaky boat prone on dubrovnik vs us (gods.inc vs u96d/check6 at arctic esports challenge 2005). We would have won the map, but r3vers surprised us proning in the boat with just 10 seconds left on the clock. Pretty nice action by him ;-(

Just some important frags that crossed my mind. Good luck with the movie.

If you can't find the demos on ETTV, I could check if I still have them somewhere.
Parent
any demos from matches before october 2005 are lost except for quakecon 2005 final + EC XI final :[

unless you've got the demos on your PC it's unlikely I'll find much of that :c I can check out the CPC1 frag though :]

and also it's highly rare for top players to reply to pm's / comments about their demos, surprised you did :P if you could ask r3vers about his frag and whether he still has the demo it'd be cool :D you'd be surprised at how disinterested people are when a random asks them for demos.
Parent
I'm pretty sure I won't get any hold of r3vers demo. First of all he is online once a year maybe and second he has probably deleted everything connected to ET long time ago. I probably still have the demo, maybe it's possible to wolfcam it or however things work. I have no clue about such stuff.

I think the oldest demo I have is from end of 2003 or spring 2004. Unforunately I deleted any older stuff already before I checked the DVD, which was faulty :-(

And tbh, I don't think I ever belonged to that group of arrogant not talking top players, heck I wouldn't even consider myself a top player (anymore). Also I think I answered on any PM I got here on crossfire, let it be about a mouse, mousepad or general config stuff :-)

Unfortunately I never paid attention to my frags that much, so I never took a note when something special happened. I was even planing on making a frag movie some years ago, but after 3 hours watching random demos I lost interest and didn't do anything :-)
Parent
why would you spend hours watching demos? :P

with this you could do like 6 years of demos in an hour http://leluli.co.uk/artstarftp/MediaManager_3.exe :D
Parent
I'm pretty sure such things didn't exist back then! I'm talking about 2005/2006 here. Atleast I hope so, else I could have even made it!
Parent
oh :P no of course not, think the first version of this was late 06 or 07 =] I'm surprised anybody made fragmovies back then, especially guys like RaZiel and mAx who you just know spent months watching demos to find those random 1mans and stuff =P

but this would be an easy way for you to find your BEST frag ever and send me it ! :P the fat that you still have 2003-2005 content is awesome since those are kinda the 'lost' years of ET :)
Parent
fast paced frags with lots of dingdingdings
I can't really enjoy movies displaying frags against medskillers/mixes exclusively to be honest. I really do value seeing highskilled opponents getting fragged and those frags need not necessarily be amazingly sick.
