Fragmovies duration

How long do you think a fragmovie should be?


Personally i think 8-10 mins is enough, but i have around 110+ demos of mostly multikills :S

I like more movies wich have been synced & edited well, the duration should be around 4-6mins :p
7 on average but up to 12 if the content's especially good
quality over length, good if they go together
just pick really the best fraggs out of them, and if the content and editing is fine 5 mins are ok..
but more than 10 mins are not needed, its getting boring..except hypes first movie and giftys tho :p
though the same... but i wouldnt like to pick only the bestest frags (do i have them? XD).. its _my_ fragmovie.. some frags "are special" so i would like to use every decent frag... specially because i have ALOT of diferent frags (mortar, mg, smg, rifle, dyna, barriers, colt, panzer, shatchel, arti/ffe) :<
Parent
mh yeah but e.g. 3man smg aint smth special so if you have some of them, dont use them in ur movie ;)
and well funny frags are entertaining aswell and if you got differnt fraggs itll be a plus, too, if you ask me.
and ofc ur right, its your movie, but if you put "normal" / "boring" frags into it, viewers wont like it so :p
just use the best frags of every class and weapon and see how many minutes the movie will be ~..
Parent
so if i kill 3 guys with smg (even if they are full hp) u think its not good against nc/ec/oc1st enemies? Im wondering the same because i already deleted some of these frags.. kept some others... maybe i should delete them all
Parent
if the frag is within the timespace of ~7 seconds (as in you kill 3 guys rushing to you) it can be a good syncing oppurtunity in some songs or a filler
Parent
if you kill them right after eachother within 5 secs vs. a known oppo, ofc its a good fragg.

but..those 3 man smg killingsprees over 10 secs are soo boring and do not belong into a fragmovie, that was mainly my point
Parent
only 3 man sprees you get is getting knifed 3x in a row, by a very known and skilled opponent
Parent
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD shh raging polack!
Parent
With a lot of hs 3man smg is okey too
Parent
make several movies then

and well, i prefer smg only, fast and actionful frags ftw!
Parent
PARODIA MAGNIFIQUE, + ag0n's can make a qualy and colours wich arent getting boring that fast
Parent
up tp 12 mins max of frags, more is getting boring for me.
6/10, depends on the music, >10 min it begin to be boring
6. Could be longer depending on the quality of the content.
My own frags, dont expect much :\ enemies have some name but frags aint that uber (aiming related... its just some multikills)
Parent
depends, i like arround 3 songs with a not to long intro/outro. but if you see parodia movie wich is like 20mins, you barely notice that time, so its kind awhat you do with it :]
hmm imo 5-6 is enough for smg movie, depend of teh music and what kind is it
but for ur guality is nice so 10min is enough
depends on how good moviemaker is and how good frags are
frags>quality>music easy if u have nice skilled frags(not bs, camp, etc...) it can have low graph i will watch it xD
like Lettu's movies :}
Parent
from 3 to 8 on normal, for more you should change the song and colours quite often.

For me
Music>Frags>Quality
For me, the perfect mix between frags (with named enemies), good quality and colors, and decent music (with good edit/sync and no rock shit)
Parent
If you gotta I'd rather watch a good quality movie with cool music and boring frags than shit quality & music but awesome frags.

gl with upcoming movies :] love ur MMaking pack btw
Parent
Im working on a new pack, its almost done but im kinda lazy to make a .pdf explaining everything :<<<<<<

Gonna finish as soon as i can
Parent
You should upload it and add a separate PDF when you have the time. :D
Parent
this time it will be diferent.. it will have everything u might need, and tutorials etc :P
Parent
And a Vegas keygen? :]
Parent
vegas keygen should come with your vegas download :P but i can add it ye
Parent
Haha, was just kidding because of the "anything u might need" but ofc its cool :D

Again glhf with it.
Parent
rock is good, not to heavy tho :p
Parent
Poprock is best, but I also like techno (or whatever you like to call it!)
Parent
it doesnt matter, if frags are really good.. if frags sucks, even 1 minute can be too much ;)
gtfo with own3d.tv, since new skin etc. my pc cant handle videos fluently..
Parent
But the video is worth it (actually my joke got kinda ruined there).

edit: The video was fraps'd low--- fragmovie with ingame configs.
Parent
well, quality of frags > quality of editing
well, if it was low---.. so he probably didnt want critic of mature crossfire :)
Parent
I guess your "mature crossfire" is in another way that I think :D (flamin' fags).

But to sum the vid up: all was shit
Parent
yeah, it seemd very "nice" :P
and yeah, mature crossfire = flamin' fags
my idea was just.. when frags are skilled, no editing is needed.. :)
Parent
Editing no, but quality shouldn't be Movie Maker shit.

Would you rather watch 10 low-quality-no-edit-minutes of awesome frags from mystic, butchji an tekoa than 10minutes of average frags and great editing from me? :]
Parent
mystic frags for sure..
well,its nice when there is little editing, like config etc. but i really hate when its overedited
Parent
Winghaven 3 Reneissance is a bit too overedited to me. Fragarea3 is pretty much perfect, only the music gets boring after watching it 10 times :D
Parent
that video is very bad idd :D
Parent
Quote by GreenClonif frags sucks, even 1 minute can be too much ;)

I posted it as a reply to that :D
Parent
imo that depends on everything, if the movie is generally good and it's pleasure to watch it doesn't matter how long it is although over 25 mins is a bit overkill.
i like old schools movies 20 minuts ^^
Really just depends on the moviemaker.

For example, I think senti's adventure was a great movie. But I think it wouldn't be entertaining if it were only 3 min.

Winghaven out of the way 3 is also very well done. But I wouldn't want to see insane sync for 15 min, would tear my eyes apart.
did you really make this journal to ask this 'serious question' or do you just wanna brag how many multi kills you have?
dont hate, congratulate HAAAAAYYYYYYY
Parent
its just pretty obvious we are dealing here with option nr 2 ..
Parent
dont put too much of the same frags in the movie, that would be kinda boring.
art is to make them want more, not to leave surfeit :) there are no rules, sometimes i want to end watching after first minute, sometimes i could watch twice more than they put in fms :)
yeah 10 mins is perfecto
I guess 7-8
10 perfect
20 only great movies (such as parodia)
about 5-10.

editing>music>frags
I prefer long and great edited movies :)
5 minutes or less. I don't see the point in making ~15 minute clips where you get bored after the intro.
Doesn't really matter. I just close them when I get bored :P
5-6+/-
:)
agon + multikill = something is not right here
Have you heard about lotto ? :D They all had lotto :> no skill involved (im not being sarcastic)
Parent
agon + kill = something is not right here
Parent
about 5-10.

editing>music>frags
dont rly care the lenght. well syncing , editing, good music and frags / trickjumping etc makes the movie own or suck
5-6min, supershort into and outro.
since most of multikills probably took place in same areas just use spiltscreen and play 2 actions at same time if you dont really feel like chosing best from all those demos :)
looking at ur edit level and style, max 2-3 mins, until someone notices wtf is this beside the colors
But ET Moments was only 1:39 and you didn't even like that. :o
Parent
i wrote all necessary comments about that to bruno, even quite long time ago, just after it was published
i didnt change my mind, dont take me as a retarded kiddo now like Portugalweknowwho but as for me its only ubercrap with some confetti aka colors, but even shit with confetti is still a shit

it got picked anyway? its not my problem :<
Parent
Tbh i think you are a bad looser.. I admit my clip isnt anything special (personally i dont like the colors that much) but i think it is decent comparing to some others from competition.

edit /sync it sucks, ye :\
Parent
lol, you can compare ur dick length to others, but not movies 0o
you can say I HAVE A BIGGER DICK and be happy, but making better movie than someone shouldnt make you proud...especially as you said the other movies were low

and if you agree it sucks, why thefuckduck did u rage me that much for the well-explained vote by the way? you say your edit sux but love only guys who say it rox? and call haters the others? i dont get it
Parent
Average: ppl enjoyed it and called it a top3 movie, final result was top 2 ;)

so why should i argue against profs?
Parent
why should you argue against me? dont get me wrong, after your reaction to my vote, you've lost all my respect, +another 100% in case you regain some

you've made your choice, it's not my thing to judge you, but what you did was at least stupid and unfair

about that contest? you still laughed at that jury that none of them ever made any movie, and now praise their "pro" decisions (i dont mean 1 and 3 place now)
just decide which side you wanna be
Parent
right now my side is: gtfo, i dont wanna listen/read your bullshit. Its saturday night, i got better stuff to do that listen to you.
Parent
like what? checking other journals?
that contest only made you worse, you think ur good now + dont accept any other opinions

i didnt expect something like this from a guy i've been through that amount of time
Parent
still better than urs
Parent
like im talking to you
Parent
it's fun to watch fragmovie even more than 10 min if there is some funny scene or smth ... ex.: Riflenoobs
666 seconds
15-18 minutes is optimal, if it's well done. 10+ minutes is okay, preferably not less than that.
Usually like 3min, longer from players with a lot of decent material. 10+ for clanmovies
Apicalypse 2

21 minute, never gets boring
