quake lessons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quake lessons without any hesitation. (But is it a recent movie ? Because I think that I already saw a vidz like that (with the same humour) few years ago... EDIT : It was funny addons in c3llux movie placebo).

Ah...and Moment, really nice idea the scenario/HUD etc... (it looks like the famous "requiem for demos" movie)

i was expecting something neat by robo-kill but this time i got disappointed...

Quake Lessons was the only good one.

quake lessons ;)

zeroql !

CONTACT and QUAKE LESSONS!

1. Contact
2. Special
3. back2oldql / Moment

The dubstep in Special is awesome.

I really liked moment, great idea, loved the hud thing reminded me of metroid prime:P

Moment is my favourite, then Quake Lessons

+ this dude

same 'ere yo

definitely
"The Last Stand" !!!

and second place to "not so serious" (hi xan!) :)

Special !

xan $$$$$$$$

i also like mccormics video, nice song!

I was thinking... we get loads of crappy movies! but I am surprised they are eventually pretty good! well done guys!

can you guys also explain your choices?

Quake lessons 10 points :d

id vote for xan's movie and quake lessons. both had the best content. but xan squeezed a little too much content in while cellux did the opposite.

nothing else on there even comes close to those 2 tho.

Nice entries! Here's my top3

Quake Lessons
Moment
Not So Serious

quake lessons!
for the rage quit, taunting doom hitting the wall, and the RA steal ;)

so awesome :)

quake lessons ftw!

MAAAAAAAAAD dance

i knew you would like it (:

Such a shame for all the nice video editing and such, but Quake Lessons was also the most entertaining to me :D

ACtually made me lol a few times

Quake Lessons for never give up :)

- back2oldschool - for basically oldschool ,
- Moment - for greatest scenario and shooting ;-)
- Quake Lessons for humour mainly,
- Not so serious for situation humour and epic frag on LIAM, and kuso droping flag to dodge rockets and spawning next to flag

it sad 'Lam', not 'Liam'..

ah, shame but the video is still very nice

PRESIDENT!

quake lessons. haha :]

MAAAAAAAAAD dance

Not seen any q3 video quite like that before.

#2 Arena Witch: really nice movie and it has Hidden Fortress!

My top 3 movies:

Quake Lessons, I loled so much here, the video clip is pure gold!
Back2oldsql, dksl you looks talented movie maker but I think this is not the movie for dell otherwise the movie is gold too!
Moment, I'm 100% that this movie will win! Really nice movie and idea, quake mixed with reality. This movie would be nice intro for Dell!

Really good job guys! Quake Lessons back2oldsql and moment are top!

quake lessons tops this just because it made me laugh so loud my flat mate woke up from sleep.

Not so serious by Xanooch is closer to a perfect blend of comedy and real quake ..this would have been my top choice if quake lessons was not made

Back2oldsql and Wo der Frosch die Locken hat in terms of frag and content

disappointments:

the "orgasm" and quake parallel in "moment" did not really work out :)

expected a better movie from shaolin, robok1ll's movie is technically perfect but rather pointless

special mentions:

the defrag movies were good

lastly Mad Dance is my kind of movie, if I was to ever make quake movie it would be something like that, hence props to the maker..personal favorite

he's not jizzing, he's dying mate.

I'd have to pick Quake Lessons because of it's revolutionary approach to gaming-video craft; it kind of imitates what Charlie Chaplin achieved in his silent film.

But almost all the other vids were fucking awesome as well! GREAT films, guys!!!!

edit: Hungarians kind of owned the whole contest with their Quake Lessons and Moment ;ooo

wow, check out the other movie from the author of "quake lessons": http://www.own3d.tv/watch/10722

this guy is bloody good ;x

hmm... didn't like this one as much as Quake Lessons. was just another frag movie.

Why I really like those two movies are the ideas that this guy has. It's not done that neatly on the technical side (Quake Lessons is flawless, tho) but the main themes in those two are always introducing some novelties, even if those are minor things. Not many frag movies have that.

why do i have croatien flag?!

Quake Lessons was the only one I really liked.

the problem i see with many of the other movies is some kind of disregard for the duration restriction that was imposed on them as per the rules. when you only have 99 seconds of video time, you need something that really stands out, is paced well and is also simple enough for the viewer to understand. some videos had some awesome work put into them or even really good content but they fell flat in this scenario. Quake Lessons on the other hand, nailed this perfectly.

for example, i usually love xanooch's videos but his style felt way too fast for me this time around. at the end of 99 seconds, i couldn't quite recollect everything i had just seen.

conversely, Moment was too slow for me. the "machinima" bits were really well done but when the focus shifted to frags, the pace and the music just wasn't exciting enough.

Contact looked great. there was obviously a lot of work put into it. Sinex has made some really nice videos before but here the feeling i got was that he picked a single editing style and an audio track which didn't have much variety to it and stuck to both for the entire duration. more variety would have been nice.

the 3 approaches mentioned above would have in all probability, worked really well as a segment in a longer video.

c3llux gets my vote.

I missed your movie :(

and one from the usual cpm crowd :)

just too busy IRL atm :( halfway through buying a house and moving in etc. takes up all the time i get after i'm done with work every day. i would have liked to enter this one and i thought i'd take a stab at something humourous but Quake Lessons did that better than i ever could hehe.

xan0och is one of the cpm usuals. :)

http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=969702
one of the best and movies i've seen.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Not like I want to hype my fellow country mates, but their movies had the best content (lessons, moment), for the 3rd place I would mention Wo der Frosch die Locken hat, for the nice skill and music content in it. Zql's movie had some impressive frags too, the rest is just ok for me : ). /dash

Quake Lessons!!! xD

Quake Lessons is the hands down winner for me.

All aspects of it were well executed – from the timing, the direction, the use of audio, the humour and so much more.

My favourite aspect of Quake Lessons was how the 'Doom' character took on a lifelike(and highly likable!) persona of his own. Managing to establish a memorable character in a feature not even two minutes long is amazing.

It was also nice to see a short that wasn't needlessly embellished with porno soft light filters and effects.
less is mo.

I guess the main reason for Quake Lessons' popularity is that all quakers (regardless of experience/skill level) can relate to most, if not all of the in-game shenanigans.

What an intelligent piece of film making!

Brilliant idea for a competition. I really enjoyed watching them all one after another :)) But quake lessons had me laughing so much I have to give it to c3llux!

1.) Quake Lessons
2.) Moment
3.) Not so serious

2nded

so how to vote? :O i registered, put even this site in google translator but i know nothing more about voting HALP!

The poll has not been opened yet.

Now it's up.

my favorites are: quake lessons, contact and special :)

this cs-movie is also great: http://www.own3d.tv/watch/11885

1 - Quake Lessons
2 - Moment
3 - Contact

where can i download vids with full quality? want to see why so serious! ;)

wait, isn't this what gillz wanted to do?

hahahaha fuck you

this is where he got the idea.

R0B0-K1LL: Wow, I took 2 sick days off work and lost much sleep over this and not even top9. Frags are of a much higher standard and didn't go over the top with annoying effects. Maybe people just don't want the best frags anymore.

this just isn't 2005 anymore
same lame effects people have laughed about for the last 3 years or so like rockets flying
+ some of the frags were from gq3 :S

still definitely better than special tho

Just the one frag was re-used, and no one has come close to that =/

I'm sorry for all those moviemaker who did'nt in the Top-9. but this is a competition, there is a difference between it and just releasing a movie.

we had clear voting system for jury which guaranteed the most fair decision, and your video was just close behind the top9.

this is our first contest and I think we did it pretty well & fair, tho there are some things we could do much better (schedule f.e.). behind every decision there were lots of discussions and argumentations.

again, thanks to all who participated!

ra3 frags are pathetic nowadays since people realized it's too fucking easy to make them. using your own frag AGAIN? egoEGOegoegoegoego and saying "no one has come close to that" shows your stupid way of rating frags. i've seen better 1x's than your jumppad4x where you barely move your mouse.

but let's not be all negative, there was some nice ctf content in your vid :-)

lmao, shut up and make better movies.

wow, I finally made it in a movie, l33t! ('Why so serious?')

lol quakelessons is hilarious :D

definatly quake lessons :)

-Joint Deviance: very creative & I like the music. nice one!
-Contact: A bit messy I'd say, I don't like all that quick camera changing, which sometimes took the effect away from the nice frag.
-Moment: I like the concept in this one, the images & the music really go well together. Those human faces/slow motions made me frown a bit (& take place on ztn, whereas all the frags come from ctf?)
-Journey: Nice music & visually stunning. Didn't really like those shots from sarge taken from the front.
-Quake Lessons: oh my god, this is just brilliant isn't it, right from the /disconnect through the teamwork fail. I needed to rewind a couple of scenes because they were so funny. This one gets my vote for 1st place!
-The Last Stand: haha very original! Something totally different! When is the movie coming out? The music at the background was too quiet, that could've made the atmosphere way better I think.
-back2oldsql: Nice effects, but sometimes over the top I think. The slowmotion & the arrows (before the frag) was cool! Music fitted nicely too!
-Special: Good to just see some pov frags, although some are nothing spectacular (like the spawnrape on ztn). Wasn't too impressed with this one.
-Why so serious?: No spectacular effects in this one, but great frags! that double/triple rail, wow!

"-Moment: I like the concept in this one, the images & the music really go well together. Those human faces/slow motions made me frown a bit (& take place on ztn, whereas all the frags come from ctf?)"

i think the ideas was that the character seeing all his past frags while dying, like" when you die you see your life pass" or something like that. atleast that is what i think though.

btw Quake Lessons is hilarious :D

I though they were trying to draw an analogy between orgasm and quake in moment, guy going all orgasmic, rail shooting slug in slow motion...w/e the passing thing might be true as well

i thought that was pretty cheesy lol

yea i thought the same, did not pan out that well finally

yeah i thought the same (those frags are just his memories)

yes you're right, how could I miss that!

robok1ll's and xanooch's movie should have been in top 9 instead of journey (WTF ! is with sarge face!) and special.

R0B0-K1LL: Cheers bro. :)

Emotional? Common? Not daily? NO. The psychological effect of the humour is irrefutable. That is the best conception.

easily moment, because of the whole idea. Brings something new, which at least I haven't seen before.

so i just wanted to watch them but seeing the first ad in the first vid is enuff :|

All those movies are quite interesting, hovewer I got my two favourties - Moment (this one is really $$, great idea and editing, awesome music) and Quake Lessons. Anyway I think I will vote for Moment, always liked to watch something "new", fresh. It reminds me some Russian (?) movie with Requiem for a Dream music.

I think The Last Stand deserves third place, it nice but it could be more polished.

I think The Last Stand deserves third place, it nice but it could be more polished.

Yeah, I had to get it done in less than a week and I have to admit that my lack of time is somewhat visible in the movie, especially montage-wise. I am thinking about doing and 'extended version', though, with a larger focus on the background story and a runtime of about 10 minutes. Got some great ideas (and footage) that didn't make it into the 99 sec version.
One and a half minute is not an appropriate length for a machinima anyway ;)

Nice voiceover as well, although you failed on "surwiwed" ;)
Not my favourite clip but definitely one of the most original, well done.

so i am looking forward to it :P

gonna vote for Moment even though it's a bit gay

: /

pekka <3

btw i don't know why those 3a frags are included :|

1. Back2oldsql (best)
.
2 Moment

3. Quake lessons

Rest

Moment ftw.

back2oldql is my fav.

For me Special is the best - the rest are not so good. Of course everyone decides what is important for him in the movie, for me it is entertainment and seriousness of the whole thing so Special gets my warm feelings :)

Nice job, FlaT.

quake lessons is brilliant!

glad to see that some great movies entered the competition
(so quake doesnt look bad compared to the rest of the games)
