Check out my BF2 Movie

[my2cents]

6 of 10.

I think I would agree with the 6/10 score the poster above gave you. Your film is certainly produced to a higher standard than the majority of other BF2 films I've seen. It opens with a great deal of promise; the sunset over the water, followed by exhaust trails from the fighter jets is well done, but that is where my interest dropped (about 35 secs in) and i think your film felt more like a trailer. I lot of fighting took place, but no attempt to justify it was made and the ending seemed rather abrupt.

I hope I have not sounded too harsh because your film, or at least the first 30 seconds of it, is the highest quality filming of BF2 I've seen.


#edit# I downloaded your CS:S office film too!, enjoyed it much more than the battlefield2 one. Love the zooms down the corridors and the death moment where the guy flys forward onto his knees. Pity you clipped through the players a few times and the deep, slowed down voice at the end was a bit naff. 7.5/10

nice edit style

[MackTheKnifeAU]

Twas good, much better than what I can do. I would suggest taht if you want to "sync" the vid to the music, made the music louder, I could'nt hear it very well.

I like the editing style as well, even though it is not my cup of tea.

Some shots were too short, unfortunately. I really like that you tried to sync to the music (I did this as well) but I'm afraid the action was hard to follow due to short and fast shots.

At one point an AA shoots for a second, the second later a plane has already been hit and crashes into the ground. We never saw the connection between the AA shooting and the plane getting at least one hit or a final hit. Unless this was an intentional "effect", I think the action and the "story" was too hard to follow.

I do like the fact that you made the movie 2 mins something instead of 5-10 minutes like other people do. Most people make extremely long shots with very little action or uninteresting camera angles which makes you skip whole minutes of the video. At least this one kept your interest so I salute you for that.

Also the movie is extremely choppy, is this a result of bad demo quality + fraps? Consider 'upping your demo quality a bit next time or use the built-in battlerecorder to render the video.

I sound very negative now, don't I .. Well to be honest I like the movie and it's very high quality, it was definetly worth the download. Keep up the good work! ^_^

yeh, I think its used in the final fight with the lady in the funky white techno suit thing

Thanks for the info.. I haven't even had the chance to play MGS3 yet :cry:

Then something is wrong at your end, music volume is fine.

Thanks for the comments, a lot of useful info there to take into account for my next video. I'm going to try and use bf2 recorder to capture everything next time as Fraps does drop quite a few frames, although I didn't really notice this much when editing, only during playback but nothing I could do really without re-recording it.

I think the solution to the choppyness is higher demo quality.
If you're going to try the battlerecorder, I suggest you use BattleLauncher [http://www.battlelauncher.com]. It helps a bit when working with demos and camera files as well as the BF2 AVI output.

What do you mean by higher demo quality, I recorded the stuff for this video with all settings on full and it runs nice and smooth until you hit record in fraps lol

[-moc-Kapla]

[Sirrel Squirrel]

I captured the footage with fraps, it also captures the sound, although you have to have buy it to enable sound

[imported_Irritant]

Hey your movie looks great but I have a problem with it. I watch it for about 4 secounds all is fine and then it freezes. What can I do to make it work?

[imported_Irritant]

Cool Video.
