mAx Chapter 3

Videos
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-.
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.

You said:
The second track has no hitsounds...so it would make no sense to remove the crosshair from the video, as there's only one video track which stays the same for both audio tracks.
of course seeing the crosshair isn't really a big problem, i just find it somewhat disturbing. in other words, personal preference.
wtfack
This isnt meant as a critiscm of mAx the player, but he gets fragmovie frags (infact I think he had a bind for it some years ago), however that dosent make an entertaining fragmovie. Hearing the constant "ting ting ting" really detracted from the soundtrack inparticular and most of the frags were without consequence. mAx's frags are always great for the console and the stats but they're not always objective based and that really hurt this movie because the movie was never really going anywhere.
Technically it was brilliant, the picture quality, filesize, graphics were nice and the soundtrack was ok, even though it didnt allow much room for obvious (annihilation) syncing.
All in all it was very good for ET but way off the pace of Zaigon which is the only ET movie that can stand up to the RTCW movies.
Plus you used the most sacred of songs! Just like nobody should be allowed use Maryln Manson - Seisure of Power from Annihilation, nobody should be allowed to use Overseer - Supermoves from mTw deep sea fishing!
then the Eurocup RTCW movie and the svper movie are the movies with the best content!! (i remember atm)
Railgun + rockets would make obvious (annihilation) syncing a lot easier. :)
"Supermoves from mTw deep sea fishing"
And Infensus The Movie.
It's demo (tricks) + mp3 in iN movie basically.
Still trying to track down deep sea fishing. I saw it back when I first chose the song and it didn't stop me then, though.
EDIT: Reason it didn't stop me then is probably because Deep Sea Fishing is terrible. Just rewatched it, and it's a different mix to the one I used anyway. :s
I expect to see great frags if I download a fragmovie. I don't care wether the frags are made in rambo situations or in some other situations like covering a engineer or something, it's just the entertaining action movie I'd like to see, not documentary.
The ambience of this movie was far higher than most of these days movies, I guess thanks to the great editing and the absolutely stunning frags. It has been a long time since I immidiately afterwards watching started all over again, now I did it.
And awww, thanks for the ingame sounds. I think everyone should use them becouse they make the atmosphere go way up like in this case.
9/10 !
Opinions are the best subjects to argue :)
I watch fragmovies for the frags, and insane aim.
And I don't think it 'hurt' the movie that it wasn't objective based.
But I guess this is all a matter of preference.
Tho I agree on the consequence thing.
EDIT: but with FG42's from like 100 meters away from eachother.
imagine one of em actually hittin the other in the first five minutes of the movie with a sten.
Thanks.
edit: n1 moviee
edit: vry nice movie good job
finally downloading!
Edit. Fucking owns
thnx
download the torrent file and open it with torrent client program like http://www.utorrent.com/
and then wait till tomorrow and you will get the movie ...
gj -Max- and mAx :)
Other than that (and the fact that I can't help thinking of Infensus the Movie during the 2nd song ;) it's a really nice movie. Real in-game sounds would have been nice, but at least the "fake" ones are well synced.
Nice editing/cameras and a good pace throughout the movie paired with excellent frags makes it very entertaining. :D
And no, it's not the only time to make an effect. =)
show me an avi where events in the game are synced with the music without changing the timescale
Please add this mirror :)
+ quality
+ has that hightech feeling :p
+ nice intro
+ nice text
+ nice passes between songs
+/- colors - it creates sort of a mood, but it eats up color range
+/- some sync
+/- old/reused music
- poor caming
I expected more sync and more cameras, and that alone reduces the "enjoyment" rating a great deal, at least for me. The last part with the nine inch nails should be a lot more spectacular (i'm guessing 300 inspired the colors as well), leaving the watcher hungry for another or 10 more replays of the movie.
Thanks for the nice comments but I guess I just have to dispute there not being enough sync.
- should've kept the gunsettings from mAx chapter 2
- i'd prefer a resolution similar to chapter 2..
- the crosshair was too big
- i would prefer the movie without the colors and the glow, but that's just me I guess
conclusion; chapter 2 was a lot better, but I guess this is a decent movie, pretty good frags and all.
<3 mAx style frags ^^
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.
Fast ftp plz
this one > zaigon
for sure
i hate max and mAx for destroying 3!!!!! servers
ps. nice editing, this cfg rox
max & mAx <3
*whines*
I had to wait for 50 minutes for my download (like everyone yesterday) but it was worth the waiting tbh!
Nice movie and great thing for uv's portfolio, keep up the good work!
Nice quality
Nice frags
Some nice cam scenes
Some nice transitions, but not rly special
Nice syncs (I liked the one @ 2:30 ;D)
-
Overused music (imo)
Kind of like a mood, I guess you chose to make it like that, not my taste
Always the same text effect (letters fade one by one)
Overusing blur effect
Really good movie, but not my taste. 9/10
quality/colors 9.5/10
I liked it, was unique. Only the 41 mb/minutes gives a -0.5.
music/sync 7.5/10
The music was good, same style that i would use if i would make a movie. The problem was only the frags wasn't so easy to sync with it. Hitsounds made this better because the watcher could bet something else instead.
edit/effects 9/10
Jeh this is not a Dignitas movie, this is a 'fragmovie'. So the way to show the frags were good but i am sorry i couldnt see the consol. Nothing speciel new but the movie is cool anyway (i liked the 'intro').
frags 9/10
I give 9 only for the fast actions and the strong opponent. I expected more killingsprees.
Overal 9+/10
I have to give a 9 because this movie really one of the best movies.
Well done max, dont listen the whine ! : P
i think the frag text needed to be alot more rounded font, as i found the boxish one pretty distracting.
and uv need a new intro animation :)
There were too much flashes, cams and the config looked way too dramatical to me. Was missing at least some sort of console text aswell... This movie looked quite like an experiment in some aspects to me, so maybe you could've tried something interesting there. Just my personal opinion.
I DID like the fast-paced style, with loads of music changes (eventhough I didn't like the songs they somehow did fit in), the fact that it seemed to be being nearly perfectly made from the technical point of view and ofc the frags were great.
9/10 for general quality of the movie/content
7/10 for my personal opinion.
All in all very well done nevertheless.
gg -.-
I replaced the file -> now ready to seed
like it has been said, few of the frags were of much consequence- so gripped the viewer less - although of course they were great to watch. (the truck barrier section was probably the frags of most meaning)
very nice movie overall, great compression and the tracks were a decent listen aswell. gamesounds perhaps a bit quieter (I like them, but again, its personal preference)
well done, keep up the great movies and keep us noob moviemakers full of ideas.
in my opinion much better then zaigon...
This is what he said about aCoZz's movie and I think it applies quite well for this one as well. It created a somehow funny feeling remembering that comment and seeing him doing quite exactly the same. Not saying it was a bad decision or anything but after watching the movie with no ingame sounds, I didn't notice but some minor syncing here and there. However, with ingame sounds and that huge amount of headshots it didn't bother at all.
The content was mostly really great, the guy has a great aim and he's not afraid to use it. Those random single or double kills strongly present in the first two movies of the series were a minority this time and there were but a few clips of which I felt they weren't actually that special.
25 fps combined with just some minor motion blur (had to search for it to see that it was there) made the movie kinda choppy. Waiting for a proper mirror for that 50 fps XviD! The quality was decent, though with a ratio this high it's kind of self-evident and with a bit more motion blur, it could've been even better. Though I don't know if this kind of a color theme brings any extra problems for encoding.
The config was nice and original colorwise, been thinking of doing something like this myself as well. The only thing that bothered me was that plain white sky of supplydepot, always makes me feel like puking.
Editing was nearly as good as it can be with this kind of a movie. The intro had a really nice idea and I liked it a lot, reminded me of that similar freecam flight session in Dignitas.ET Exposed. It shows that simple things really work if they've been done well, you don't need to have a 2 minute intro with too long scripted cams or some fancy storyline behind it. Also the cams in the movie were mostly really simple but they served their purpose and kinda kept the tension up for the whole movie. Have to agree with DabSter though about this "letters appearing one by one" thing, it just doesn't feel that fresh anymore. :)
Music choices suited well in. However, using Supermoves for about 100th time wasn't that original and this "I'm a rock star blablabla" song kinda made me feel disturbed. In general, the soundtrack felt very constant, all the songs were kinda of the same style and were well mixed together creating a smooth atmosphere.
All in all, apart from lacking a few things, a very enjoyable, intense and fast-paced movie. Could easily recommend this for anyone asking a good ET movie.
(Man, it took me ages to compose and write this comment.)
How did it limit the editing? It makes no sense since I basically edited the entire movie first, then made all the ingame sounds
"after watching the movie with no ingame sounds, I didn't notice but some minor syncing here and there."
Going out of my mind at people saying there's only minor syncing. Please watch again or something :S
Thanks for the comment, though. :)
I thought you did it like that. Otherwise it wouldn't have made sense to put in the ingame sounds separately. Also, I didn't actually refer to the limited editing there, but just for the plain fact of using ingame sounds. Like I said before, there's nothing wrong in using them if you know what you're doing. And like I mentioned, I had no complaints about editing (apart from those text thingys :p), just didn't notice that much syncing.
I watched the movie twice without ingame sounds, on a second time I really tried to concentrate in spotting every sync aspect there was. There's some syncing, but could've been more. Perhaps I didn't notice everything or perhaps I'm just being too harsh (blame the damn flu). Syncing smg stuff is always a bit two-sided, especially in ET where duels may take a long time. And don't take this as serious criticism since I really enjoyed the movie with ingame sounds, as it should be watched in my opinion, otherwise you'll lose an important part of the movie.
I thought (and hoped for myself), finally something new & creative. I really really like the colours and the style you made that movie. Nice cams wich actually fits to the music and to the fragscenes. No doubt, the frags were sometimes really impressive.
The movie dont got this hype like zaigon, another point i like as well.
In your next project you shouldnt use this crappy hitsounds and try to release a high fps version for x264, too.
9.5/10
+ frags
+ editing
+ some cams
+ quality
- colors
- sync ( 6/10 )
- to much cams!!!
- ooolddd musiccc
- to much low timescale ...
But, nice job -Max- : >
Hopefully if you keep watching you'll notice more and more sync because there is soooo much. :-(
funny how you can see movie ratings now and you can see that klejf, you and some other wnb moviemakers just vote 1 1 1 1 to all but their own movies but then suck up to the moviemaekrs they just voted 1
i will let someone upload it to my ftp
thx to a jew who is seeding fastest
or upload to random place, like www.megashares.com
i liked the hitsounds, what a headshot machine :o
US mirros will follow in a few minutes!
thx to all who helped us out.

frags were nice, especially the soundediting was something new.
quality was good but pritty dark although you were able to see most things...
all in all nice movie
Nicely tuned colours, I liked the outlook on most sequences. Only the really overdone glow here and there caught my eye. Otherwise, pretty.
Overall drive of the clip was really good. The short, jerky slowmo's used here and there bothered me a bit, though. Especially the ones with heavy slowing down and an abrupt start stand out: feels like the player is suddenly stuck in glue and can't move. :) Fast cams and some nice transitions weighed on the opposite end of the scale.
25 fps with very little motion blur felt quite choppy... Waiting for the 50 fps version. Adding hitsounds on an alternate audio track was a great idea in my opinion: I turned them off after a minute, but I think most competitive players want to keep them on.
All in all I think this clip was a good package, coherrent style throughout the movie. Visually really good, although a bit choppy with 25 fps. Short enough to watch without getting bored. Even the frags were pretty hardcore.
Good job.
The 50fps version has Zero motion blur by the way...except resampling on the background maps of the running medic in the intro. It's the way 50fps should be imo. :-)
there appears to be a bloom effect, and i love bloom effect, did you add it with vegas or smth or is it something in the movieconfig/some addon?
also i disliked the muzzleflash with the colourlayout, in fact, i dislike muzzleflash period :D
Magic Bullet Suite 2 Plugin
No muzzleflash in a fragmovie looks retarded, plus it would've been impossible to sync the sounds without the muzzleflash. It doesn't annoy me at all.
editing of the sound was great, nice job on that.
the frags where great to, and so was the config.
the atmosphere was awesome, kind of a sparta like atmosphere.
but the colour overlay was a bit... it wasnt that much of a pleasure to watch for me.
Quality: 9/10
colours: 7/10
editing: 9/10
sound: 10/0
music: 8/10
frags mAx/10
config: 8/10
overal: 9/10
Overused glow and that music made me feel bored.
8/10
8/10 because of the dark cfg and the black fog around the center
gets boring watching all those headshots :X
Please add this mirror :)
but thx !
The hitsounds sounded weird without gunsounds.
I guess it's just the manual adding of them, it's kind of diffrent..
Great job again, anyways. I liked the new colorstyle, something diffrent atleast :)
Good editing too but just a little bit irritating to hear at every frag "medic". But that all, nothing special to add.
gg mAximilien le chaud I hope you the best.
only minus is the console kills, next time keep it on
but the frags was mediocre and not much was special.
ganon's souvernirs and BIGMAC on top still.
I've also just finished mirroring all three (hosted in the states):

Another movies can be different, like Zaigon for example. (which was community movie instead of pure FRAGmovie.)
Thats real true skill !
Well there's just one thing I'm ashamed of. I've never heard of you nor seen you playing :S in which clan are you active or for which clans have you been playing ?
btw. Ultraviolaet productions always PWN !
but frags are little bit boring :/
:(
to me it looks like he only had like 20 demos or smth and chose some "ok" frags of it
its a good movie, but not in the top5
die frags sind gut imo. besser als die anderen 10er-kills die 5 minuten dauern bis mal alle tot sind!
mAx is still an arrogant retard
(16:28:47) (@^mAx) seriously, I'm arrogant, wtf
I saw the performer switching to dyna and a needle once, meaning it s someone else :p
But, ofc good job.
let me say my opinion
SHEWIE & GANON 2 is the best movie ever
and imo max chapter 2 was better
i realy dont like the new style of movies its look more and more holywood and less enjoyable ...i didnt like the music..and the frags not impress at all imo
for me its just more 8 minutes to decimated nothing change basicly still same point of view still same style of movie
i prefer the old movies with the crazy frags and the great music and even if they dont look like the super quality like max's movies they still more enjoyable
but still this movie look nice and max spend lot of time to make it so N1 max <3
If this were the case, I guess I could drop this movie into Decimated and it would still suit it right? Same point of view? Same style?
Where could I do that in Decimated? This movie is very far from Decimated...the music style is different, the colour filters are different, there's no story, the editing is better and the sync is better. In conclusion, it's not even similar to Decimated. The style is completely different. This is almost a solid fragfest. :-)
the music not that change ... its still fast (dunno how to say it like fluke - absurd style) and not pure rock or pure trance
and btw imo the sync in decimated were better :x
i saw that u try to do max movie like the movie 300
well...i dunno all UV things look same for me..
anyway i like the old fashion movies its not personal against u or UV i just like the old movies . u can call it demo+mp3 or 1 months making movies but i like it and when i see them i say
"what i great music"
"what an awesome frags"
and this is what everybody want to say (btw max frags not that good here just 3 all the time with lot of headshots)
even with med edditing movies can be succesfull and not always super edditing and super quality
just u to know my top 5 movies
shewie & ganon 2
max chapter 2
esrael movie
winghaven out of the way
shewie & ganon 1
their music & frags super awesome
and the edditing are nice
maybe i like them cuz they nostalgic for me :D
but amm i like superboy movie too even if its slovenian :D the music were so good
and crozz (retard) movie with linkin park
and mika's movie :D
infensus movie
dsky
dignitas
mico
mirro
gza fist movie
well..u get it..
but i think you can make the best movie ever just try to realy realy change everything in your style leave all the little details of the cameras in every min when someone jump or die.. or get gib and put some nice music even if its overused
but AGAIN this is only but only my opinion
<3 u max i going to see dragon ball z now
1st.
u accused me of no sync for frags, same here
2nd.
the glow looks 10x more crappy than even cms glow, the vignette effect(darkening it on the corners) doesnt look too good, overall movie looks like u made it, and made shit on it- or its just my screen brown dirty
3rd
frags were nice, but too much 1-2man kills for me, no longer sprees
4th
u accused me of using supermoves the crap way, dno how can i call it here, but fo sho not a nice one, also rest of musics were kinda old and ive heard them before in movies (1st infenus, shewie 3, sarna movie; 2nd in arik fragmovie by pliss (1st one i think), 3rd song dunno
5th
its better than decimated, better than zaigon
but still average for me, i felt disappointed watching this :<
mAx > -max- imo :[
ill edit comment after watching a fullscreen version, 40% atm
edit:
dled, watched
looks better than in flash stream, but still </3 the lamps and the glow
intro was nice though
I can't help but think your desire to dislike this movie has caused you to not notice any sync. I guess I'd need to sit next to you and point everything out to you because that's just a stupid comment.
Struggling to recall what CMS means...
Perhaps your screen is 'brown dirty'....whatever that means...
If I told you you 'used supermoves the crap way' I'd be surprised, but again I think you're taking this personally and purposefully not wanting to enjoy this. It's used during tricks for iNfensus the movie, and it's demo + mp3 basically.
Don't know where you've gotten Shewie Level 3 from...no song in there is in this movie, but aside from that, I wouldn't have used it if I didn't think I used it better. It was used in mTw Deep Sea Fishing like 5 years ago...that's how old that song is in movies...but I wouldn't have used it if I didn't think I used it better.
I am not surprised you are disappointed in this movie because I don't think you wanted to like it, and it's obvious from your comment that you didn't want to, and you took all my comments about your movies personally.
So I'll sleep well tonight.
<3
