i meant the name in the middle, of course you gotta have kills in top right showing :)
Few comment, hope its helpful.
I think are a lot of people are put off by the slow motion stuff, and so was I. Also, what frame rate did you render this movie at? It looks reaaaaally slow, and when you add slo-mo over it, it gets even slower. Most frag vids are captured at ~90fps and finally rendered at 29.97. This movie felt like ~20-24fps.
The image quality was too washed out for my liking :<. I’m sure you play the game that way, by turning the gamma way up to see things better (we all do it), but watching a movie at that quality is kinda ‘stale’. Try turning up the contrast when your making the movie and adjust it accordingly to give a nice colour palette, making the blood redder and seeing shadows, props etc better.
The split-screen thing is a good idea, but don’t over use it. TF2 is a fast paced game anyway, and when you have two screens of scouts doing their business, it gets quite confusing. You can overcome that maybe having the frag, and then having the same frag in chase cam or 3rd person perspective or something?
Syncing. It adds flavour to any frag video, no matter what the quality of the frag. Try doing some more syncing; like Song 2 by Blur, when I heard that song come on, I was like ‘Oh, this is gonna be good’, but I got nothing :(
I hope these are constructive criticism and helps you in the next vid.
Like I said this was not meant to be a showoff, I will try to keep this chronicles as simple as I can and without slow-motion for the next ones.
I have synced many parts of the musics with some events but like I said I can’t afford to do it too much in this one, I kept the best songs/frags for a later 1 so this was just a piece of the cake. If u didnt noticed syncing points on song 2 u surely have not enough power to run the video =) The video is 40fps and at that bitrate your really need some power to watch it. Or maybe u just saw the tuna’s edition :P
Err no. My pc can handle it just fine. I encoded my last movie at 19000kps for shits and giggle and runs just fine on my PC. Anyway those were just some constructive criticisms. Take it aboard if you like.
yea Ill take note of everything tks
the vid was okay, just a little slow. Whats with all the attacks at peoples pc’s ? I am sure people can run it just fine, if you personally have an awesome pc so what ? dont assume everyone else’s pc is shit.
Other than that I liked some of the effects and look forward to the next one.
sigh u took it the wrong way i didnt meant to say it like that, I am sure any of you have more then enough rig to play it, it is not even close to full hd bitrate so…
The video at least for me is smooth and fast, well thats the first reason why i did it 40fps.
So i dont understand how r ppl having issues with that I am kinda worryied… maybe some scenes should be a little faster and cut out the slowmos, try to explain a little better wot u mean by slow? slow like video after sound or slow like too slow for fast paced gaming action. both can be an issue..
I saw the hd stream and yes its a bit laggy I dont enjoy it much and u notice it really has some lower bitrate. I dont advise anyone to comment without seeing the full release.
edit: god youtube made it look like shit quality after I uped the sd version Oo, i will try wegame as option for a faster sd stream. also high road track was flaged and no audio allowed so..
edit2:added sd download, having trouble uploading it to wegame as sd stream :S
finally I spent some time uping it on the tube, I still dont know when the next one will be out but if I could tell I would say half-way of the next season, I rather focus on our scouts frags for some time so please cba with all this.
here it is(hd please):
