frags

dramatic chorus music

Hello zeroql

*Hacks joke*

this.

poor gun position

shitty configs, overused music

over/poor use of 3rd person/cameras

overuse of transistions/effects and a sloppy framerate/quality

Real life footage.

Motion blur. Can completely ruin any enjoyment you would get from watching, and unlike bad music, it cant be muted.

Lack of unity between audio and video (when it's not edited properly to the music).

sg/lg quad runs

Bad electronic music. Sometimes its ok if its a really good song, and I get that its easy to sync stuff too, but someday I'd like to see someone pull of a really good movie with some Tool or Deftones.

Tool would be really hard to do without editing the shit out of the song, but goddamn would it be cool.

Also quad runs. For some reason it doesn't impress me that much. I like duel-only frag movies.

oh shit

20 FUCKING MINUTE LONG INTROS

THIS

No brightskins.

Long Into/Outro
Standard/Everyday Frags
3rd Person when it's not mandatory to actually comprehend whats happening
Bad encoding/video quality/fps

I'm able to enjoy almost every kind of music as long as it's edited accordingly.

Did i mention that you shouldn't put your not absolutely extraordinary frags into a fragmovie of any kind?

garbage pub frags

this, ffs.

the trailer

clips where someone hits a bunch of easy rails and air lg locks

Movies with 5 minute in-outro (mostly when action part is 3-4 minutes) / using your own nasty skins / dnb music / transformers music / strange colors / too dark / too bright / showing frags just because theres a quake celebrity in it / creating trailers / 10 dm6 frag in a row / 10 ztn frag in a row / t o o m u c h s l o w m o t i o n / too much freecam / dramatic feeling / less then 50 fps / etc.

Choose one.

And from the other side: I hate the size of the saved avi-files. Have to write 30 dvd to make enough free space on the HDD.

ill take all

dm17 frags and ctf frags.

whats wrong with ctf frags? some really nice ones out there

they don't count. flagruns i get. frags are on people running the same routes over and over again.

uhm i agree that frags on ppl who arent even looking at you can be bland but they are hardly used in movies (unless the movie is bad :D)

speaking of routes, if you go down to the basics like that ppl run routes in tdm and 1v1 too, heck nice frags are created because a good player reads those routes good and places their shots according to it.

an example: a movie had a frag where he was running down the stairs inside the cp1 base, he mg'd the door and shot a rocket from a tight angle to the outside, hitting a guy midair who used the jpad and killing him.

luck? for sure, is it a setup based to a route? yep, entertaining to watch? fuck yes.

ah yes, gaiia's airrocket in contenders2 :)

yes, that is good. and you're probably right.. but most ctf frags just aren't for me.

the same goes for most quad runs also.

that air rocket was pure randomness, u mean one on jap castles right ?

I actually thought of that frag like a week before I actually landed it. I tried it a couple of times just to get a frag like that one.

Yes, it was planned, and yes, I'm a camwhore. :(

You inspired me to try it several times per cp1 pickup just in case i get lucky :D:D:D:D

okay you deserve a plus then.

on a related note, I think you have another air rocket that is less appreciated but probably equally difficult to make on cpm27 tdm, I dont remember the movie name, probably one of the lobstarz movies or something else.

same movie the 2 spamshots and juggle the enemy, if you mean that one

Yes, as dansen pointed out, that one is also found in The Contenders 2. But that one was pure luck, I admit. ;)

too much luck = not entertaining to watch

No keel/pm

tankjr noises

no story/cohesive theme

Replays of frags, I've seen it once... do i really need to see it another 3 times...

Crappy 3rd person camera angles... I'm not playing tomb raider mu!*&@#$er!

No sync between the frags and audio

third person view

when I'm not in it

[-]

[ - ]

Rails which hit two people at the same time, random airrockets, clips which are too long (destroys the flow), too much "epic" music.

what about






























































THREE people?

That's included in the "two rails" category.

yeah, but what about four?

That's included in the "three rails" category.

What about



































FIVE people?

I think you know where this is going.

What about an entire team?

I dunno, if it's a nice rail flick it stays, if it's there because it hit >=2 people it goes.

What about 30 people?

iirc rails can hit 4 players max.
5th takes no dmg anymore

i lol'd hard

- Long intros.
- No HP/Armor display, frags with low health are more impressive.
- Frags with weird camera angles, removing all sense of the ability that frag took.
- Movies that feature single-frags only, streaks are more impressive.

That's about all I can immediately think of, music etc. never bothers me I just mute it if I don't like it.

Requiem for a dream soundtrack, Celldweller and let the bodies hit the floor.

goddamn retards....

- long intros
- no hud
- 'epic' music (there are exceptions though, but its safer not to use)
- metal music
- mediocre frags by mediocre players versus mediocre opponents we all seen a 1000 times before in older fragmovies..
- 3rd person

long intros, lack of humor and dark configs

Too much slomo or speedup in order to get the syncing right...or too much clipping so u pretty much only see the frag itself and nothing before or after!

There has to be fragmessages so we can see if it's random pub or pcws/cupwars.

I prefer crosshair on aswell!

decade long intros
shitty config (bad visibility / just ugly)
overused music
over/badly used 3rd person cam
too many flashy effects

me likes this thread

going out of first person.
and duel frags. srsly they are so boring. one frag wauuuu..

sg quad runs ~WoW~

the most boring thing about Quake frag movies is the boring quad runs with shot gun, killing less than 100hp opponents on mid distance..

no brightskins / 3rd person / flashy effects

Cheaters

random frags

motion blur. why use it?

Short single frags like 1 air rocket and then next clip or aprox. 1 second of 70% lg (means opponent didn't have much more than 100 hitpoints). Frags should be 200+ damage done with impressive aiming/play or multiple frags in a very short period.

when your mates set themselves up to die to your uberness so you can put them in your frag movie!

3rd person. You can't really appreciate the frag when you can't actually see what the player does and how much skill it required. If the frag looks shitty from 1st person, then it probably isn't worthy to be in the movie. Trying to make it look nice by using 3rd person just makes it more annoying. Also if you want to show your crazy editing skills, do a short video with a story or something instead of a quake video.

Bad colours

Lucky frags (3 with one rail etc)

mediocre air rockets
+ needs more good plasma frags :( they are always missing in my opinion!

Video Editing

It's the reason why I never remember a single frag compilations in any game but have many bookmarked duels or AKA Tony FFA moments :)
