c'mon dude, these movies are all about the atmosphere, that feeling of haroshy awe, they're not conventional "frag movies" and they're not trying to be conventional either. I'm sure he won't disappoint.

I disagree. sometimes u have super-uber-brutal-awesome shots, that sadly isnt a frag but hey who cares, its not fuckin oneshotkill call of duty... wheter it ends with a frag or not, the fantastic shots are still there and why wouldnt he show it :p
none of the decent air rockets were amazing uber-brutal in lexer/unkind. I don't expect it to be a oneshotkill like cod, but I also want to watch a frag movie... with FRAGS. his work is still great no question about that, but I'm just saying... in all of the videos Ive seen from him its been a turn off for me.
Thank for using my map in some of the sequences...that ''nightmarish'' map... :) It's really cool too see it after all that time since I made it. http://lvlworld.com/review/id:1524
I guess only q3mme makes such amazing camera work possible. Sadly it won't happen for ql :(. So this is a trailer for a zer04 / cooller fragmovie which comes out soon?

its just the arrival part. instead of giving you a trailer or teaser (because i dont want to show things from the other parts), i decided to release the first segment of "nightmare 2". the runtime will be long measured by the material i have, so it doesnt hurt and spoil too much.
i try to create a simple storyline out of nightmare 1. after cooller & zero4 got smashed by unkind & lexer, they are hiding and waiting for their second chance to enter the arena with the goal to reach the final tier again (for revenge). see the "hellish map" as a sort of cage or backdoor for doom and krusade.
the remaining "plot" is coming with the fullrelease.
Didn't actually vote because people would hate me for that but I dislike movies like this that don't present the frags and the intro+outro is 50% of the length of the movie.
its like that cheesy action movie stuff where they show you a repeat shot of an explosion, only this is the 5th movie where you get the exact same cinematics.
What's a very high quality Quake fragmovie for you? Can you give some examples please? I'm speaking about editing frags with sounds together: a real fragmovie. Not a frags highlight, or a simple montage of frags and music put together without proper editing.
That guy rEnk, the movie you linked is fucking above all the shit I've seen appearing here, so it makes me wonder: why aren't recent movies at least technically as good. But whatever, I'm glad I found that stuff he made thanks to you.
Well, there's a bunch of different explanations for this :
Defrag is more "malleable", a better primary matter, than frags. You can use cams, slowmo, fx, whatever to your own will. For frags, people have certain expectations, you cant use slowmo too much, you can't use too many cams, frags have to be really visible etc...
Second aspect is mostly technical : wolfcam doesn't have the camera capability that q3mme has, plain and simple.
What do you mean when you say we can't use slow motion too much or too many cams? dKsL in this video, or in Memorial uses a bunch of slow motions and spectator cams/third view cams/dolly/following/etc and overall people don't seem to dislike it, or am I missing something?
I meant that for fragmovies, meant to highlight skill. This is a very different, and somehow unique type of movie where the focus is on the storyline created by the moviemaker.
Notice that the 3 or 4 frags in the movie are mostly unedited, with some cams before/after and slowmos only just after the final hit. This is a common technique that a lot of moviemakers use to create tension, and it's widely accepted. If he had used slowmo when the player shoots the rocket, the frag would have been ruined, if he had used a cam when the rocket is fired, the frag would have been ruined. If you slowmo a flick, the frag is ruined. This is what I mean : you can't fuck up the basic excitement that is watching nice mouse movement align with the target.
i dont know, but i was bored after watching a minute.
I respect the effort and its a good idea but its way too much overload of slowly camera angles etc.
From visual perspective this is just amazing, camera drives are awesome and music along cinematic slow pans pumps up the hype really well, you really know what ur doing. But as a fragmovie its quite a disappointment: only few frags and nothing special.
Anyway gave it 9 as it was really well executed all the way from camera drives to post-pro! Congrats!

lol thanks, just earned me a beer.
Made a bet with someone on IRC and told him some braindead fuck will complain about this not being a proper fragmovie with lack of frags
i ve seen that frags 1000 times, in 10 different quake movies 10 years ago. Whats the point? The ultra epic music with some random camera views in 3rd Person?
whats the point? i can tell you that i have never seen half the scenes i recorded for this project. i dont create this for a single person, but for the community and for myself.
not everyone have seen the stuff created 10 years ago (me included). i want those scenes for my vision, and i dont care if other moviemakers have used the frags in "10" other projects.
just ignore it when you think that you have already seen the "content". you will be not forced to watch it and i dont want to defend my movies to others.
10 years is a long time, and i have fun at bringing back some memorys of the crazy shit this guys pulls of in this game during all the years. i agree with you when lets say sharpe brings out a k1llsen movie, and 1 year later i will release another one.. what will never be the case.
Some people may complain about the lack of frags, or the fact that the frags that were shown have been seen before in many movies, but as a new player I haven't seen them, and the cinematic tone made it very enjoyable. I look forward to viewing the finished movie!
Much better than the FACEIT ultra gay video with super turbo mega extra ultra gay announcer. (I just had to put this in here, cause that video could have been awesome if not for silly stuff like that.)
