well i wasnt using fraps to start with, but my pc screwed up and i lost all the vids, and i knew fraps was easy and quick. as for music, i would love to see you guys try sync music for a cs movie and keep it "original".
edit: some songs just fit the movies, and why go search for original music if you have a perfectly good song?
im not getting pissed off, but i dont understand why music is such a big deal if it fits the videos being used, i looked for at lots of movies and they type of music being used compared to how the frags are set (fast, slow ect), luke i dl'd urs ages ago and watched it (pretty much dl all the dice movies). But tbh if any of you have some music that you think would be good for a cs movie plz pm me
my only criticism is that the first frag of the intro is the best in the whole movie.. shoulda started with average slaws and worked its way up to the money shots
you should try keep the movie a bit more plain with effects as i think your trying to overdo it. A much cleaner movie with some nice freecam movements/slowmos and a nice userbar will look better. And wd on the rendering this time, so much smaller lol
also about music: i think its just a bad choice as one of the songs is from FizzLTD, best movie everrrrrrr and i kinda compared it to it.
hud_saytext 0 is also a good idea, i could see alot of text during the movie. Apart from that i agree with most people keep the special effects to a limit and i didnt think they music was that bad. 7/10
I don't have any issue with effects so long as they don't detract from the frags. For me frags are the main-point of a movie but a movie can still be amazing for me the way its presented. Movies like 'Eve' started off a whole genre of cs movies.
Intro's are one of my biggest peeves, I can't stand intro's that go over a minute long, ideally an intro is something about 30 seconds long but it depends on how you are presenting it and all that. Anyway, take advice from Hans and anyone else you can find that makes movies, Scream also does well.
You're progressing well tho, keep it up. The more you do the better it will be
I was giving examples of different kinds of movies, Typically the Australian community doesn't like effects and just wants the frags presented in a clean and simple layout... This works fine for most things that the Australian community would ask of you. Scream's DNC Vic Qual movie is a good example of what pleases aus-gamers and I rate it well for achieving that.
Hush was a very original movie and an example of interesting editing, Eve was also original and basically started off that whole theme, you can have your own opinion on it and that's fine... Can't always please everyone.
If you wanna go look at CS videos, there's a few channels on youtube although im sure you already have a source: channelcs, jukaxd and wwwmoviemakingfr are all good ones, the latter is owned by SK's video guy. There used to be a website, the movie vault, and was solely for gaming videos, there was a whole community behind it and was a really good place to go for tips and ideas but they unfortunately closed up. They put up a new site after the old one went down, it's not bad but is no where near as great as the old one. http://www.themovievault.net/browse/counter-strike/1/review
I think those movies are horrid #22 some of the most simple movies are probably the hardest to make. Scream said it correct and the movies that come to mind from what he described are
good effort 7/10 : )
don't like fraps, cz models and a bit too frequent use of vegas effects but was enjoyable
also seagull you dumbcunt you better be doing that on LAAN come saturday
main thing - get rid of fraps and the crappy vegas effects.
edit: some songs just fit the movies, and why go search for original music if you have a perfectly good song?
seems like you like video editing.. keep it up bra
if you want to see my effort at movie making (not saying its' good), it's uploaded on the site - furious ft 2
crushing
inb4 that was obvious fuck up dumb cunt
And wd on the rendering this time, so much smaller lol
also about music: i think its just a bad choice as one of the songs is from FizzLTD, best movie everrrrrrr and i kinda compared it to it.
You have to remember, people have been watching CS movies for around 10 years, nothing really surprises them any more LOL.

Here's a few examples of movies that did what they set out to do, most you probably will have seen.
Short intro (lol): Reaction - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxK4j-8SV0s
Good synch: Eve - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7rxrUBAMJQ
Lots of effects: Hush - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waXSXTRsiuY&feature=related
My personal favorite: Annihilation 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6gcmbioqiE&feature=related
3:50, a 1:20 intro and a 0:50 outro? Joke.
And no crosshair? siq.
Edit: Eve as well? Why are you giving him examples of movies without a crosshair, these movies are shit

But in saying that these guys get some what of pay im guessing with what they do, JeSTeR is doing it out of his own time! :) nice job imo!
it's just great
nothing spectacular, but shows off the frags, and it's clean.
