I was keeping all the links up-to-date until kolt decided to remove my admin rights without consulting me first. Now you have dead links because of that. I have had all these movies mirrored on the web and still have. Kolt will have to apologize or find the address himself.
After watching i can't say something like "impressive!" or "cool!". I agree with Dimmo. The frags were nice and very nice, effects were good, but i don't like music at all, cause first 2 soundtracks were used in q3 movies (freeform, cetus - the movie2). Moreover, for me, there wasn't any main theme. Nice frags and etc, but it lacks something... Dunno, maybe authors didn't show real beauty of all frags.
Anyway, good job, nice to see, that somebody has time to work with q2 and it's movies!
+++: q2jump! really cool! but I think you should add the jumper's time immediately when he finishes (a top 3/5/10 on that particular map would be nice too, cause most of the time a third place looks just as impressive if you haven't seen the replay of the best time)
+: frags
+: synch
+: first movie
+: chillout moments (I actually like them, as opposed to most people around here)
-: those bikini girls -> wtf ?!
-: repetitive effects; the one with the blurry rockets is cool so that doesn't really bother me, but the "canvas filter" (looks lik photoshop's canvas filter) you used too is just not that nice to me
( pff2 < DQ2TM ) . Great film, very nice music match to actions, and whats the most important : Frags showed from player's eye! Great job, this film has something, that I cant see in other q2 films. GRATZ ! 10/10
nice movie... perhaps the relaxing elements (slowmos, chill music) were too long.
i liked the frags (esp. on tltf) and the jump mod. good work and hopefully more movies will follow.
so i need to wank after watching this boobs and ass. l8a
Movie is good, maybe frags aren't as good as Pure Old School or KTA Movie but they are great, sometimes its to fast and another time is too slow, effects are fine but some of them (expecially "unclear" scene) are a bit annoying. Girl is cute and adding jumpmode is very good idea (never seen it before in q2movie). I like firs song but in my opinion metal and rock better fit to frag movie. I haven't noticed much motives taken from PFF2. I think films like Pure Old School, KTA Movie, PFF and PFF2 deservs 10, but if its Your first work and if You take notice on arraignment You could do even better movie.
And I forgot, I mostly agree with minus that has been written befor sa I won't write it here.
Flashback - its Juno Reactor - master of the universe.
I generally agree with Gravgon and Foen.
I liked the intro with enya, and the first song. Airwave is nice too (as a trance classic), but too much slow-mo was in it. The synchro was average and sometimes mistimed. The effects were used in a simple way, just starglow and shine mostly... no sophisticated sets of effects. The content was very good.
I liked jumpmod section and it was definately inventive. I would rather use it in second half of the movie (when i got bored with slow-mo) Few bugs i noticed: Handgranade in textile part of juno reactor's song had bad model assigned (blaster). In credits screens weren't centered (see software used).
My opinion is, like Foen, Gravgon and BubkeZ have already pointed out, that this movie clearly is inspired by PFF2. Not a bad thing, but imo it was too much of the same. Same PAK, which you credited them for, same gloweffect on rockets afaik and same style of music.
About the ladies, my feeling was 'wtf'. I don't understand what kind of role they play in a fragmovie.
Anyway, enough with the criticism. Nice effects, nice frags, one of the better movies, and of course since it's your first one, my general impression of it rises.
hmm overall i felt some PFF2 but its rather cose PFF2 was the best and good movie needs also "same", now about the movie: i loved ssg,cg frags + some gl frags, few nice rl frags and nice idea with jumpmode, few trakcs were familiar to PFF2 songs but is rather cose the genre of music is the same,but as long it sounds good just fuck it! and now about that baby ! that girl was cool and i like such a "chilled" ideaz, its 10000000x better than play some hard metal and put some stinky long hair fags on the scene.... | i didnt read all of ur comments but ive read part of foens and gravgons and now 2 contrarguments [im not explaining etc just wanted 2 add that u r wrong]:
GRAVGON:
- the boobs and tits extracts are sweet to the eyes but I was wondering "wtf does it have to do with an athena or grunt body getting splashed away by a rocket"
julien i rememba v good q3 movie about some CPL or something final where LEXER/COOLER made mirracle comeback in 1-2 minutes for about 10frags in 1/1 and won the final vs ZERO4/USA PLAYER? and russians put some XXX avi part where male fuck some girl in the ass - that russians fucked americans so i dont think so that its bad idea
FOEN:
- First i have to wonder how you manage to pick a song which already is in top gamemovie?
OHHHHH PLZDDD About 1 month ago i watched some vvvv nice q3 movie and it has exacly the same song which was used in PFF2, so what? do we have 2 crussify those bastards? no just calm down and enjoy or not, cose the song can be replayed 1000 times and if its good it can be replayed 1001 also
[sorra for my english] but this is just fuckin q2 movie, for fun job, for you to enjoy! so enjoy and respect some1 work! PEACE
Well...i'm not sure should i write anything after i saw how he attacked to bubkez. But here we go.
- First i have to wonder how you manage to pick a song which already is in top gamemovie?
Anyway that song during ibogines trickjumps was in freeform, which surprise surprise is one of the best q3 defrag movie. Maybe just bad luck or maybe not?
- After every song there was a silent moment. And then started "a new movie". Looked pretty wierd.
- Those name/mapboxes were ugly. You used bright/flash effects everywhere and then just blue boxes...?
- Keygrip editing was a bit clumsy, i don't even try to explain how it was clumsy because my english is not good enough.
- Musicsyncs were late or too early pretty often. Or does my comp lagging?
- Long slowmotion parts are boring, even if you put good looking woman in it. And tbh chicks in gamemovies are not pop anymore.
Overall it was a pretty good movie. Deffinatly better than average q2movie. This was your first movie it is understandable that it isn't perfect. Keep up the good work!
And even if ppl can't make better movie than you it doesn't mean that they don't know is your movie good or not.
And you said that scandis never like polish movies. Maybe one reason is that there are only few good q2 movies, rest just sucks? Have you ever though that those few scandis who rate movies likes to watch gamemovies? And after you have seen great movies from other games you can't honestly give 5 start to every fucking q2movie? Or should we lie, and tell those movies are great? I don't think so...
ye, maybe neo shouldn't have attacked bubkez in such a way but it doesn't change the fact that comments like 'ripped off from pf2' without explanation are annoying. that's what he meant so don't get mad at him! =)
Very nice movie! A lot of ownage actions! Nice RL frags, nice cg, ssg, nice music, nice jump demos by ibo! I enjoyed also that part with that nice ass beetwen frags. ;]
+ The design and the look in general
+ awesome frags
+ nice music synch
+ the introducing music and rank 1 - airwave (what's the name of the remix btw?)
+ trick jumps
- I also got the feeling of a "PFF2 wanabee" (similar effects and similar musics for similar sequences, the structure is also kind of the same, the pak used doesn't help to make the difference either)
- the transitions between all the sequences are too sharp, like 5 different episodes put one after the other
- it lacks some rythm, too many slow-motion frags with chillout music
- some of the musics used are awfull (the one used when we can see the nickname and the map of each frag for instance)
- the boobs and tits extracts are sweet to the eyes but I was wondering "wtf does it have to do with an athena or grunt body getting splashed away by a rocket"
i had problems to do the link between a sensual dance and a q2 model getting trashed by rockets =)
- your attitude toward bubkez
Conclusion:
Overall it was nice especially if it's your first movie, the technique is excellent but imo it lacks the little "something" more that makes you like the movie, maybe because it doesn't look so original after PFF2.
I'll rate it 8 cause it's superior to most of the Q2 movies but I prefered PFF2 and KTA movie
yeah, dhope reminded me. I was a bit surprised with the jumps.
Allthough, if I havent voted before, then I'd vote 1 for that neo's bad attitude. Man, nothing personal, but go wank a bit and calm down.
Bubkez there alway was a criticism and it will be but scandinavian ppl are those who always has bad opinion 'bout poland and polish movies, take a look at pff2 comments or other.
i can write the same :sry for downloading youre very high RATED movies with porn or other.
I know im not the best quake2 movie maker and i havent said that? but i can take criticism... but when im posting my comment u are attacking me with personal attacks...
U wrote:"BTW u like when some1 farts on youre face?" Very mature...
Sry for even downloading this movie it was not worth it after all these comments.
nocri: Thak you
Bubkez: You can suck my dick with those funny arguments.Make a better movie with better frags( try somethin diffrent than granade jump + rg combo)/music/effects/ then u can talk. Similitary is only ONE the skins of male and female. As everyone knows ONI & MNSN has bigger experience in makin movies, Desire is oure first and it possibly just OWNED YOURE ASS DUDE!
"AND, my map is named Pure Skill 2 on ibos run NOT Pure Skill...ty! "
Everyone has rights 2 make mistakes.
N3o^: haha?, are u soo blind so u cant even see the similarity between these two movies...
U wrote "Adding boobs and tits between action is not same matrix from pff2" joke? i mean, so if i made exaclty like disire but added a big large dick in the movie it wouldnt be the same movie?
I can add, i didnt watch the end..
btw, how the f*ck cares it was a nice movie but it had "SOOOOME" similaritys with PFF2!
Bubkez maybe you should watch pff2 again huh? Desire is a completley diffrent movie. Same effects/paks/style/music? Adding boobs and tits between action is not same matrix from pff2 . Music???? same music? dude n/c only the pak is the same, but we wrote bout it at the end of the movie so, have a nice day ^.^
didnt like:
a) the music in the third part (where you had personal pov's)
b) the bluring in d5/dm3. Ok it was cool in duel5, but it was getting annoying in dm3.
Dunno, but I didn't like it so much. Good try though.
