Frag With Styles - A BF2 Frag Movie/Music Video

[BlitzWarTank]

After many uploading failures... I finally managed to upload the movie! Actually I was thinking of making a compilation movie (stunts, battleracer races, etc) but due to the time I have... I've decided to come out with a frag video as its not that time consuming.

This video is not only about fragging... but it also contains a short movie about a guy, trying very hard to get a knife badge. But ended up getting pwned by "easy" bots...

Please read the readme file for more info!

Nice... You're a good player

Well done on the editing also - I know how hard it is at first.

What good does a post saying "Downloading..." do? Download it, watch it, and THEN comment on it.

Video was a nice change from the regular frag videos, but it was still a frag video nonetheless. And I must say I think you used a BIIIIIIT too many effects, and it detracted from the film rather than added to it.

BTW, I noticed you were using custom localization files, and it looks like you were using my old (1.21) files. may I recommend you switch to the newest (1.3) files?

I've just finished watching and must agree with Saladfork, a bit too many effects for a frag movie.
At first I like to say that its a nice movie, very well made. I really enjoyed it.

Some negative points:
- The fast forward skip BETWEEN kills is indeed a good idea, but please dont keep that fast forward on when you're killing. I barely see the kills.
- Most kills werent that special, I prefer shorter fragmovies with only the best kills of all the footage. Your movie showed some pretty good kills, but too much 'not special'-kills. (like the 6 in a row killing people who didnt even see you).

Not trying to be negative, I really enjoyed it.

in a nutshell, a video should not be hard to watch. some sweet kills, but i would rather see the body go ragdoll instead of the whole screen turning purple or white. yes i can agree to many effects but nice kills. and the cropping made the quality less and i didnt want to see that, i can see where the soldier is fine already. nice choice of music and i like how you split it into classes. kind of reminds me of nytes video's

7/10

First of all: Nice initial post! I like the way you present your movie for the first time to us. :)

After viewing - and enjoying btw - your video, I can say that I really liked your camera movements and overall dynamics you used, but later on you tended to over use them. Especially your "shaky-camera-effect" has been used a little too much for my taste. But that's really just a small point. Moreover I think your video has been a little too long for a frag video.

Except for that, I liked it and think I'll keep it stored on my HDD.

Your color adjustments are fine too, as they add an interesting new feeling to the Karkand scenario.


Good work!


cheers

Re: Frag With Styles - A BF2 Frag Movie/Music Video

As this is your last BF2 movie (last movie ever?) take all of this with a grain of salt. My head was spinning X_X There was a lot of screen shaking and effects going on that I couldnt distinguish exactly what was going on. Im going to be honest as well that most of those kills werent anything amazing per se. You had some nice ones but it seemed like you could have edited them down to the real gems or maybe gotten more raw footage to suppliment the gems. To have all that footage with most of the kits and only have one real kill with the sniper, you might have done better to just exclude sniper altogether.

I will say, though, that you are very good with whatever video editing program you used. My videos have almost nothing in the way of actual effects because I just cant figure them out lol XD.

Very well done, looked really clean but I must agree, you were a bit heavy with the special effects, and the music choice wasn't that great, but you made it work. Overall though an 8.5/10

Re: Frag With Styles - A BF2 Frag Movie/Music Video

Good movie. A little overboard on the effects for my eyes, but to each his own.

I love the music and the style of the flick, but the effects were a tad excessive. I love the cut-away zoom of the iron-sights.
