BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Cool transitions and effects, I'd be more strict with frags though.
As far as editing goes, this wasn't bad at all.

Great editing, but to be fair, too many mediocre frags ...

Sorry. Can' watch it. Strenx plays CRAPMANIA.

Sorry, can't watch, it's Strenx playing.

fixed it for you

Sorry, can't watch it. Too many Poles commenting.

WOROLOL

OLOLOLOL

Shootmania movie?

summary: BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

you guys should've waited to add all the frags from upcoming Dreamhack

Ohh you funny, tried to point out that Strenx pulled from the tournament. And you didn't. Nice.

2d stream would be nice

there is 2. dailymotion and youtube

Perfect editing! I would like to watch it 3D, need to get glasses.

I have glasses for 3D movies at the cinema but can't get it to work. Which 3D version do I have to choose at youtube? :|

Passive cinema polaroid glasses are not capable for this kind of 3D. Anaglphy 3D goes for red/cyan glasses, digital 3D goes for Active shutterlens (like nvidia vision, etc with at least 120hz tv/monitor) glasses

I watched it with glasses so I can't give anything less than 10 cause it was fucking awesome.

Red-Cyan, or the fancy expensive glasses?

Red-Cyan lol. Still good 3D, especially at 6:46

Ah cool, yeah I was just wondering whether it's worth tracking down some red-cyan glasses. They used to come in cereal boxes all the time! But I think I'll have to buy them on ebay or something.

there are some things i dont agree with but still thats definitely a triple A movie 10/10

10/10 for 3d

Excellent. Frags were really nice, better than I expected from a 'Pro' movie (probably because he wasn't shy to include frags against noobs in random games, but eh, they still looked cool). I really liked the edit, too. Interesting but not distracting or over-the-top. Music worked also.

Added How to watch in 3D "tutorial"

Best movie of the year so far :)

Frankly, shaft frags are gimmicks and should be used sparingly. I thought the special effects, CGI sequences and transitions were a little bit over the top and tended to distract the viewer from frag content. The music was also too camp for my tastes. Otherwise, top-notch editing, great movie. 8/10

strenx's ego just got even bigger. Nice job with the editing though.

inb4 Coming 2013 - strenxmania: The movie

great movie!
sick frags and nice editing. especially the cuts/transitions were spot on and fast paced. didnt really like the rl footage though

Hubcolors were really ugly, like the rest. Nice pace, cool rl footage.

No 60fps :<

somewhy render bugged and only the sbs is 60 fps. will upload one later if i get to render it in 60

nice

movie of the year

didn't watch it in 3d but still groundbreaking movie on every aspect. Maybe not all frags were epic, but still can't give this less than a 10

shit music, shit visual effects.
PICMIP 2? O_o
not bad sound effects.
total: so, so.

its not pcmip 2, its a shity custom texture pack everybody using for some unknown reason

The rocket splash effect carried it.

Damn! I've never seen those in-game screen adspaces used as scene transitions. Creative and well-paced. Talent here.

tbh it looked like shit

those grainy pseudo high-res textures DON'T look good and much less high-res... at all

the shiny sfx contrasted against the low-poly geometry just feel forced and out of place... same goes for the over bumpmapped high-res visor model

not to mention that half the movie was about yellow rl explosion effects that took half the screen and didn't let you see shit

many frags were good, music wasn't bad

but ffs stop using shiny noob sfx and transition effects like its fucking ms movie maker

i agree. the textures look shit and amateurish. the rockets look like hes tossing grocery bags.

This made me chuckle ..still is :)

notbad.10.

"notbad" and "10" doesn't really accord well....

I suppose that the rating of that movie is due to people voting like this

burn the rulebook down badd boyy so ez xD good video otherwise

random CA frags in Strenx movie? kinda unexpected

Great work. (9 for me. But 10 if 60fps)

Very good, although 'some' average content. Missing a grand finale. 7/10. That's my 2D review. Here's my 3D review:-
Very good, although 'some' average content. Missing a grand finale. 7/10.

what grand final? strenx walking away frm an explosion in slomo?

great job :)

what do i need 2 watch it in 3d on youtube? :o

There is a "how to watch in 3d" tutorialish something just under the music list if you scroll back to the top here

got it :D i need glasses :D

Really liked the editing, just not all the content.

Needed more frags vs pros and tournament highlights (e.g. frags made in tense moments like a lan final).
Needed less frags vs noobs/nonames.

i lke the texture pack... brings freshness and bumpmapping-ness ... i wish we would see more of the detailed visor...

3:12 - 3:15 ... epic frame shoots!

... later today i am gona go watch this movie in 3D on a 140 cm x 240 picture projected onto a wall ... lets see how will this look there. This shitz gona be amazing.

gj every1 involved!

I will just watch in stereoscopic vision (squint ur eyes a little bit :D)

non ingame footage is ultra gay

Some weird frags chosen. Random LG frags against noobs at public CA? Getting hit by 2 direct rockets from cypher while only replying with a shaky LG? That's just not movie material.

That was quite mediocre to be honest.

sync was ok, not great
scene cutting had its problems (sometimes starting too early or too late)
fx was awful.
effects were terrible (TV Simulator, Glow, SRS?).
some transitions were just fucked up (at one point there's an image flashing between two scenes)
frags ranged from good to just mundane (single rails, CA frags)
3D is a gimmick
strenx live footage was cringe worthy

before complain (since u are a "moviemaker") try to pull anything out in 3d then place your dissatisfaction about effects and everything. as u know this is his first movie and stil been able to make something that none of the guys before. so still, first do it then complain (just again cause u are a moviemaker so you must know everything better then someone that just made his first movie)

If this is his first movie why not start with the basics? Everyone would have been satisfied with a straightforward frag movie with high quality quake graphics and good sync. Major movie studios can't even pull out decent 3D tech, it was a mistake to even go for it at first.

this was high quality graphics and good sync. maybe u might have a misconception about sync. puttin random clips on random metal music is anything but sync. and he did it well to make this as his first movie. showing that hes even better than you or some of the other moviemakers already.

No need to rage kiddo, I was just stating an opinion.

no rage just telling the truth ;) "kiddo" lol :Ddsd

Why are you even replying to this crap ?

Sharpe actually is a movie maker, as you pointed out, and everything he ever did was talentless unwatchable already-seen-before pieces of crap videos that could bore in 15 seconds someone who spent the last 200 years in jail.

This movie is awesome, everything is good about it and, mark my words, it will be copied a lot in the future.

thank you bob_faurisson

best be trolling

Jealousy is a m#ther#fuck.

when you're doing creative work, the first thing you learn is that you'll have to deal with criticism; i know it stings like fuck when somebody bashes something you've been working on for months (thinking it's the best thing ever made), but next time try not to respond right away, because then you'll just take it personally and defend yourself or attack the guy that critiques you.

i'm sure you've seen this, but this is how professional sfx looks like (and this was done by a single guy, not some studio with lots of cash). either remake the maps, textures, models and everything else and THEN use GOOD looking, realistic sfx, or stick to the basics, use basic sfx sparingly and just make it look and flow good.

and as i said, try not to take it personally, you will never improve if you only listen to the people that are sucking your dick.

Sharpe's comments have nothing to do with the actual video. Its pure jealousy. Its really sad actually :/

"first do it then complain"
I hear this complain in art criticism all the time. LOL

lol..coming from someone who made a quakemovie thats hardly worth a 4.

:D I don't really give a flying fuck what you think. Nice to see you cared enough to post THREE (3) different messages. And what would I be jealous about ? I like making movies, some people like my movies, that's all there is. Keep raging, I love a good trolling

You are a sad little rat who's too jealous to respect someone elses communitywork.

I like rats so that's ok (did you know rats would be the only species to survive a nuclear holocaust?).

As for the work I respect it but that shouldn't come in the way of my freedom of speech should it ? I can see that there was a lot of work involved in the movie, but it's flawed in a lot of aspects in my opinion and I am entitled to expressing them. I did rate it 6 which means above average.

atomic rat: http://arzatoth.deviantart.com/art/Atomic-Rat-29634515

This has nothing to do with freedom of speech. I am talking about your intentions. You are not genuinely criticizing him, but because of envy.

you know me so well through the internets

btw I made 5 different movies I'd like to know which one you're reffering to

1mil internet bucks it's the terribad wannabe cpm one :D

I'm still waiting for that remastering of my song hein

I think the project and the source files were on the 80gigs hdd I threw away because my new mobo doesn't care about ide.

But I'll defo do it again if you want to use it in your next fragmovie.

j/k i'll just take a strokes song

How about doing it like antii but cranking it up to 11 with some Lustmord ? :D

that shit is so obscure i couldn't even find a song on YT

first 3 pages are relevant ?

it's not really songs

Find a way to define that word without having your favouritre band render the argument moot.

You're welcome.

Ha, Lustmord. That would good. Maybe the running of the credits could have Thomas Koner :)

you are a bit strict i think

-the soundtrack is not very sync friendly
-i hate fx in general but they made it better than most of the graphics out there
-3d is still 3d nice innovation and pioneering in the fragmovie scene
-i loved the strenx live footage CMON real live shafting the idea is just priceless!

Strenx why the fuck did you change the game? I won't rate this video because I don't have any respect to you as for now. Sorry man, but your behavior while going to play this shitmania, or whatever pissed me a bit.
The video is good, but strenx isn't a true quaker, and he doesn't deserves (at least mine) respect.

Good editing (though there were some weird moments), some nice frags in there but some were oddly not given that much editing-focus and passed very quickly not even at the right moments in the song.

My biggest complaint would have to be the fx. In my opinion it's just too much. Personally I think the fx in Celestia were the best. Not too flashy but also interesting. These are too much. The rocket model looks too crazy big. I feel like I'm watching an excessive plus vid with those fx.

great movie, lg beam built was awesome <3
9/10

Nice movie CORMIC <3

tnx but "The video is brought to you by Ákos "F-X" Ujfalusi who captured and edited most of the scenes to perfectly match the song and flow" :P

Who cares :D Najs movie!

A really nice movie! What's the screen's ratio on this movie? The Keels moved so slow.

its 1280x720 16:9, pixel aspect 1.000 so like a regular movie

Absolutely perfect editing and visuals, great job guys. Textures are very refreshing, joy to look at. Live footage was a little bit unnecessary though.

+ editing
+ frags
+ music

- fx shit
- textures

Y U RUIN MOVIE?

I prefer this movie :)



Translation (Thanks intotherain)

Buahahahahhahahah :DDD

alalala

EIGHTY PERCENT ! :((( *cry*
NINETY... *sad* OKAY!

lololol

French is one of the best languages to curse no doubt about it :D

is this vs rapha?

yea if im not mistaken, toxicity where rapha was hitting rg. Anyone confirm that?

Better angle here IMO :

can somebody tell us what the guy in the video is trying to tell us in french ???
english pls ^^

I am trying just french parts, enjoy bro

:-)

:

(0:03 and 0:41)
1/ Putain de ta mčre !
= "motherfucker !"

(0:19)
2/ trente cinq
= "35"
(he was timing something aloud if i can say)

(1:12)
3/ tu tapes toujours contre moi toi
(hard to translate because he is mixing two thing imo, so the sentence is weird
= "you shoot eveything on me"
and/or allusion that Rapha is always hard to play and was winning all tournaments sort of 'all time lucky' by cooller.

(2:25)
4/ toujours contre moi, toujours contre moi, toujours. le mec fait 80 % contre moi, toujours. n'importe quoi.
(he is not objective lol)
= "always against me, always against me, always, this guy do 80 % against me, always. Rubbish."

(3:24) at end
5/ ??? ... 80 % ... ???
(hard to hear but like (2:25) in short and few word.
= '80 %"

Cool :)

haha thy ^^

he said "fuck le rapha"

i would be mad aswell if guy known for his lack of aim would hit 80% rail on me...

but ofc such feelings dont exist for ssf pr0s like you

he wasn't known for his lack of aim... he always had decent aim. it's just casters needing to stereotype him as all brain / no aim just for the sake of it, with the general public believing it blindly.

doesnt change a shit

u mad?

Well, there's a famous match, against Cooller, commented by Carmac and Rapha....
You must have surely seen it, it's on youtube, easy to find...
his aim was pure shit, something like 3 rails missed in a row, and a ridicolous lg, probably due to the insane and unwatcable high sens paired with huge acceleration....

And, as some pro once said, "you have never the feeling that you lost against him because of his aim"

that thing is impossible to say plaing against some other players *cough strenxie*

As Strenx would say "Tis all shaft game." Good flick, and well done for your first movie!

nice movie. please stop hating , start practice everybody

It was good, and the special effects were no doubts splendid (I esp. liked the use of in-game billboards as transitions), but some of the frags were quite mediocre. In particular several frags were just shaft fights, and while I understand that the LG is Strenx's one true love, these battles are hardly exciting and don't really demonstrate Strenx's skill to the fullest potential imo. I don't care for the high-res textures either, tbh they look worse than the originals and don't add much to the movie at all - in fact they detract from it. Oh, and more dubstep, because we totally didn't have enough of that, right?

It's a mixed bag and while there's loads of effort put into it, it didn't really work out. 7/10.

tbh just because a music made by electronic devices its not neccesarily dubstep.

The content is definitely there, some frags were quite impressive. The music was a bit tame and uninspiring, but otherwise OK. Some of the the 3D transitions were also quite cool and immersive, like with the dm6 doorway transition. However, the gimmicks were way over the top. Less would have been more. The zig-zag/noise transitions, the scene where strenx snaps his fingers like a gay fashion designer, the absolutely needless and obnoxious shitty textures and giant sprites and sparkles... Just, why? The point of a frag movie is to show of the frags, the mechanics and the difficulty. Not to obscure them with shit by turning everything into fireworks. I'd like to see this re-rendered without any non-id content, so I can actually show it to people without them being confused, but rather inspired.

fun movie, good job, but that finger snap and eye roll he does is so fucking gay.

Why is the YouTube video "unlisted"?

Tnx for pointing that out, its my mistake !:)

I loved the 3D version, it was entirely something else.

The 3D cinema experiance doesn't feel as good as this movie does. This movie brings amazing 3D feel, with the aid of carefully selected angles of shots and the awesome timed slowmotions of rockets/rail/lg/nades and plasma (dat plazma on toxicity was awesome, one of many epic camera shots!)

Maybe the visual space that is presented in cinema like movies are to big and wast. The true quality of 3D shines perfectly with-in the mesurment units with wich quake maps are build.

I watched the strenx 2011 movie on a 140x240 cm big picture projected from a epson projector with 1920x1080 resolution and nvidia digital 3D glasses.

DAT shit was amazing!

Technology wize: 11/10
Frags wize: 10/10
(3d effect would make shit frags look amazing tbh, cuz the 3D technology manifested with quake look freakingly amazing and immersive)
Fun factor: 11/10
Collaborating with other community members: 12/10
Added sounds effect: 8.5/10

I cant wait till the day when i will be able to play quake with 3D glasses, but with 3D glasses that also work with 120hz!!! ... that day will be legendary!

Attached Image: 87404-strenx3d.jpg (127KB)

p.s.: This movie could easly be a showcase of 3D technology! .. Quake deserves at some point to be played with 3D glasses technology!!!

Thank your for such a positive feedback on the 3D ! :) we both tried to get a good feeling while watching it that way, seems like you totally strengthened the feeling that it worths spending so much time on a movie !:)

i strengthened the feeling also cuz i was watching on 140x240cm... jesusFuckCrist that was amazing :D

great movie, well done!

Really good movie! I will miss the aim machine in ql tho... fu shootshitania.

If the game only has two weapons I doubt any quaker could stick it for long.

It might just be to get players on board initially, keep it simple then unlock the game/complexity and scale it over time.
If so its probably a good idea as it will deter good players at the start.

I have no clue why this got such high ratings. Horrible music which really kills the mood, weird transitions, gimmicky effects that block half the screen and what sharpe perfectly described as cringe worthy live footage of strenx... bleh. Boring.

not to mention the level of the opponents

I liked everything about the movie beside the faggy pictures of strenx posing for the camera, and that first song. That first song was just horrible beyond anything I've heard in a long time. That bitch trying to sing was just so annoying that it made me wanna smash something...

7/10

the best quake fragmovie of this year :D love it, proffesional editing and nice strenx's frags \0/

my mark: 10/10

p.s. where i can get this railgun beam? it looks very beautiful =)

we gonna release a pak with lots of effects etc, i just still dunno when :)

any news about your pak?)

Downloaded it to watch again in good quality, and I still really like it. Not sure why this one is so divisive. (Except that it features Strenx of course, so a few people were going to dislike it no matter what.)

Obviously the rulebook-burning and the 'so easy' were laughable, but who cares, that took about 5 seconds away from the fragging! Hopefully he was having a joke and taking the piss out of himself a bit, and if not, that just makes it funnier. :D

The live-action LG was kind of fun too.

I like the music, f u everyone else. <3 Emily Haines, and that remix suited the movie nicely. (Not sure about what they did to the vocals right at the start, but eh.)

Great editing too. As someone else said, some of the transitions were really creative (and well-done), and I liked the overall look of the thing.

If I eventually get around to watching it in 3D and it is awesome, I'll up my rating to a 10.

Heh, looking at the ratings it's actually pretty consistently liked I guess. Just seems divisive because a few people have been loudly negative.

Also, I don't mind lots of LG frags in a movie about an LG-heavy player. I love air-rockets as much as the next guy, but we get a lot of those, and crazy LG can be just as impressive. (More so, to me. I suck, but I can still hit awesome rockets occasionally. I pretty much never stick that glue-like LG, though.)

The thread's thumbnail looks awesome... the movie is pretty average.

Great movie !

I'm not a big fan of the musics used here and the CA frags, so
9.5/10 instead of 10/10 : )

I watched in 2d, there are lots of good ideas in that movie. But It could have matured a bit more. Some transitions are too fast, some frags are too average, not a fan of the textures/settings... But a good movie nonetheless :)

btw, the frag @ 3:22. isnt wrack one of bot's names?

yes it is and there is no such profile on QL as i checked just now, so the frag is staged 8(

I just refuse to believe that

i don't

lmao

Movie is worth a 10 to be honest, loved watching it. Only downside is that Strenx is in it and the real life scenes seemed a bit out of place, hence the 9. Other than that, pretty much perfect, definately a keeper.

Great movie! I really enjoyed! I just wonder how much did strenx pay / how many zotacs did he gave away for this movie? :)

PS: LG settings?

great, so much work in there!

rewatched it in 3D at friends today, yep still awesome.

high5

those rocket effects suck, and those new map textures also, frags were not so impressive except some lg frags.

nice editing and transitions, and is it just me or 50% of frags were vs k1llsen :)

and one more thing i don't like is combining TDM and CA frags with duel frags in the same movie + those pictures and vids of strenx.

i feel sorry for people who havent seen this movie in digital 3D

I've seen it 3D IN MY HEAD

*cough* LANDODGER *cough*

Anyone know how can we put text message in wolfcam ?

60fps 2d never coming out?

I watched it a couple of times on youtube (2D and 3D crosseyed) and on my pc (2D).

First of all, I really like the idea of a 3D video, I thought about it myself a couple of times before and I might actually try it later. 3D aside, the video itself is only decent. There are some moments that do no good to the movie as a whole.
As mentioned before, the live footage and photos look sort of awkward and out of place. I admit that the IRL shaft idea is hilarious and the execution is great but I think it would be much better if it would be added at the very end of the movie, not between frags.
Some cams and effects feel forced, especiall the last frag of the first song. If you want to use cams, use them to highlight amazing frags, or don't use them at all. On the other hand, I liked that cam made on dm6, lg hold to rail frag on z4muz, where the player pov switches to a cam and the back to the pov right before the rail frag. Nicely done.
I am aware that the CGI scenes must've taken a lot of work but I have to say that they looked off to me.. it's a bit like putting a single clip into a movie, with a different cfg. I guess achiving the same lightening in the render as in-game would be very time consuming and probably not worth the effort.. Anyway, it's just a detail and I might be simply overreacting, just my opinion.
I really hope that the first frag of the 2nd song isn't staged, it says it's against "wrack", the bot is actually called "Wrack" with an uppercase "W".. And there isn't a player with such a nick in the quakelive database.. so it's either from a really old demo and the account was removed, or it's staged. Which would be very bad in my eyes, especially since mccormic already staged frags before. Don't get me wrong, staging frags isn't bad if you're not hiding it, but in a strenx movie you'd expect strenx doing all the frags, right?

About the content, well it's quite hard to get amazing movie content from "pro" players, (had to go through that while working on afterspray) but the choice of frags in this movie is pretty bad. The CA frags were unnecessary, and the only TDM frag was simply weak, I'm pretty sure strenx must've made some better TDM frags than that.

Last but not least, please mccormic don't use excuses like, "it's his first movie". Okay, even if he did most of the work, obviously your input in this piece was at least significant. Next time let him work on his own, he had a good start:)

I can't rate this video more than 7 out of ten 10 and if that frag is staged 5/10

Most people don't appreciate lg frags, the fact those are mostly against the best players in the world and in gametypes in which it's rare seeing impressive frags. Also it's obvious they made quite an effort doing it, with cgi scenes and everything (there's at most 10 quake movies that are on this level of production), and in the end it was entertaining.

Those 3 things make it at least a 9/10. Maybe not a perfect 10, but this year's been so bad that there's nothing better really.

"against the best players in the world and in gametypes in which it's rare seeing impressive frags"

Against the best platers of the world? Are you talking about wrack, or Guismo12 or all the random clan arena guys?
Never seen so many random players in a pro player's fragmovie....

And by the way, LG-whore is not the definition of "impressive frags"

also strenx haters and jealous movie makers gave this less than a 6, so it's a 10 to compensate.

Huh? Some weird logic you have there. Everyone is free to state his own opinion. I wrote some of my thoughts down because I think honest opinions are what movie makers want to see. Sure, it feels great to read all the positive comments, it motivates you to work more, but constructive criticism is what makes you work harder and improve.

see some replies above and what score they gave the movie, for example 2pak, mustaine and sharpe. Those aren't objective opinions.

Also it has three 0s (fragmaster_, comrade and PoRNo-MoRoZ)

well opinions are by nature subjective.

i really don't care who the movie is about, and since i'm not a moviemaker i can't be jelaous of anything. i cba to look through mccormic's movies right now, but his name caries a positive connotation for me (probably because i liked some of his previous movies) and i was excited to see that one.

that said, i stand by what i said, textures are ugly and sfx look bad. it's overloaded; many things are forced.

i've rewatched it again a couple of days ago and that's still what i think. 4 may have been a bit harsh, but i wouldn't give it more than a 5 now.

i also see that the author is overly responsive to people saying "omg best movie ever", although their opinions aren't that "objective" either. but when somebody says something negative he automatically goes into butthurt mode or doesn't respond at all.

sorry lol. 2 (not 3) butthurt movie makers, because they do the same in every movie release (I think lee stopped that), and three 0s out of nowhere then

i agree with megaman3 on that in most cases tahts true. so 0-4 are mostly the haters and jealous ones. ofc if they have a constructive opinion like u did is another thing cause thats true. so if you have a step by step opinion why u give this movie a 0 is okay too but jsut gettin random 0 and 3's is not that well :) im just reading the comments here and forwarding to the moviemaker mostly so they have nothing to do with me. so if any of the frags were staged has nothing to do with me also :)

I have received a lot more pluses since I changed my nickname, lol

I appreciate this post.

also strenx lovers and fanboys gave this more than a 7, so it's a 0 to compensate.

fixed

People tolerated strenx because in terms of aim he was a very good player BUT. No one likes a whiny bitch. And thats what strenx is.

He runs from dreamhack like a little bitch because he knows he cant hack and he knows he can't ping rape so he shits on quake and its community by playing shitmania instead what a joke.

Right.
But i would say that his aim is not a merit, since without his aim he would be nothing, and since he sacrificed mobility and reactivity to obtain that aim with an extra-low, uncomfortable mouse sensitivity

I saw this last night in nvidia 3d vision, and man it was so fucking good looking. Quite an achievement!

too small IQ, 3d not help )))
