“low quality, frapsed, no special editing, no special frags (there are, but when you upload an 8 minute movie of med picks that’s getting annoying).”

Let me break that down for you:
– next time, record & encode in a better quality
– don’t use Fraps
– use special editing or dont call it a movie ( >> Fragclip)
– try to use special frags, not shitty ones
– if you want to fill 8min, better make it good

Edit: the excuse ‘1st movie’ is fucking ridiculous, see phoenix about it.

I do not get why you are trying this hard to explain his points, forum rules states that

NO FLAME – This is the most important one, regardless if you think the movie is bad, theres no need to just say “This movie is pants…etc”

Constructive Comments – This ties in nicely with the above, if you are going to comment on a movie, try and be constructive. If you think a movie is good or bad, say so and give a couple reasons.

Thats pretty much it, people who constantly break rules will be banned.

why should you have your own post for it?
do you actually want someone to criticise your movie?

And yet you defend this post with passion. Maybe you are more experienced or know of the topics but not anyone can ‘break them down’ as good as you can. so that is what i was trying to explain to you in my previous comment.

I just finished with my first frag video and I can tell you Phoenix’s points were put across in a brash and rude manner, but the points made are valid and can be applied to your video to make it a much more enjoyable.

I had about 8 minutes worth of clips ready to be put in to a video, but I decided to clip these down into 2-3 videos so it makes it easier for the viewer to sit through. Sniper frag clips aren’t too impressive if its just some mediocre picks, I understand that they can mean a lot to the weight of a game, but a lot of the time it’s only appreciated in a frag video if it is a sick headshot or a nice speedy killstreak. Which means sitting through 8 minutes of mediocre headshots isn’t very fun for the viewer.

Also having the HUD shown is distracting from the actual frags, and requires very little effort to remove. I have the HUD showing sometimes in my video but only when it’s relevant (low hp stuff mostly).

I also really recommend lawena to record, it is way more effort but your end result will look insanely better. Better visuals and smoother gameplay are key to a good frag video.

If you want to see a great frag movie check our Der_Milchmann’s series of videos. Not of all his frags are sniper clips, but it gives a good idea of what makes a good sniper clip. Take a look at his first frag movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0by6YngfCU
You can see the effort he put into it, the quality of the video, the quality of the frags.

Think of it this way, the more effort you put it, obviously the end result will be better.
You were given constructive criticism, and you just passed it off as abuse.

Dude Phoenix is just a dick ignore him, gj nice frags :)
