Ultraviolet Productions are proud to present their third official Enemy Territory movie, and also the third official Enemy Territory movie of the Belgian supremo - mAx in mAx Chapter 3.
Almost two years since the release of the previous mAx movie comes the latest installment. With November 2004's mAx Chapter 1 and July 2005's mAx Chapter 2 being made by mAx himself, the responsibility of making the third chapter to complete the trilogy belongs to Ultraviolet Productions Founder -Max-.
Not long after the release of -Max-'s previous movie one4one Decimated in August 2006, -Max- and mAx began discussing fragmovies. Originally not interested in a single player fragmovie, the two found that they shared many ideas. With -Max-'s previous movie stretching over 22 and a half minutes, including a storyline, it was time to explore something vastly different. With a player of mAx's skill and the possibility of a much shorter, fast-paced fragmovie, the offer was too great to turn down and the project then evolved into mAx Chapter 3.
Work began on a soundtrack in the closing months of 2006, one track of which would reflect some of the style of the previous movies, with mAx's love for hip-hop. When editing began around February, one ambition of -Max-'s was to bridge the gap between the content-orientated movies and editing-orientated movies. The comparisons between the likes of one4one Decimated and Souvenirs by Ganon, motivated -Max- to find a middle ground.
Since the frags were to remain important, it was decided to include in-game sounds, to give a better representation of the quality of the frags themselves, and to add some extra tension. However, with the level of editing that was required being so high, this was not possible. So instead -Max- has spent a lot of time adding sounds manually from the pak0.pk3 file. While a much more efficient solution, it required the sacrifices of several elements of what would be present otherwise. For example, the sound of opponents shooting back would simply be impossible to do to a high standard, though we've tried to make its absence as unnoticeable as possible.With the inclusion of multiple streams, the gamesounds are optional - not included in the second stream.

yea i know who cares about what i am sayin...
This is something more and more fragmovies should do. I'm not sure of this technical restriction you speak of, but still I like what you did with the multiple streams.
Still waiting for a gaming movie with a directory commentary stream :D
It was capped at 1280x960, cropped to 1280x800 and resized to 1280x720...best I could do from 1280x960 source.
Back when I was planning to do an uberMix movie, I had plans after it was made to get a few of the players on vent and watch it through while recording vent for the commentary :P
Tbh a movie like Get Quaked 3 would've been cool with commentary (two editors), shame their aint any dual-editor projects in ET.
BIBUY
thx mAx and max for killin my server
AVI and MP4 are not codecs.
It will work, the extension is just the container which works better.
Both are outdated are not good container formats in this day and age.
If you download HD movies (by that I mean hollywood movies etc) like I do, you'll notice that they pretty much exclusively use .mkv.
This is why I decided to use it, seemed more friendly than mp4 also.
But if it's a common file type, I should probably get myself the codecs needed and move on to this.
I max my speed while getting HD films from them anyway, a lot of the users have seedboxes.
watching with vlc, wheres the problem`?
edit: still doesnt work.
amazing frags
simply fragmovie at its best
n1 movie
dont stop your torrent program just cuz u have the movie
no own3d flash video :'(
hoping to download it later tonight :P
I prefer this over Decimated to be honest, it's more fluent and the frags are of a higher standard, although it would have been nice to see which team mAx was playing for in some of the frags. But again that's a minor niggle in an otherwise fantastic movie.
Great job.
jesus :)
great job -Max- and mAx
edit:
Im close to having a seizure after watching this movie, my head is "turning" and im kinda sick in my stomech. The muzzle flash + the lighting is just awfull. I see white spots everywhere now :/
