gj joining to advertise your shitty videos

[meepugh]

the cool lighting effects really keep the watcher interested!

[Spectre1406]

Never join just to advertise your videos, it's frowned upon here.

[yawmwen]

is it mandatory to put a silly dubstep track over every frag video or do people legitimately think it's a good idea?

i don't think anyone should care. if it's a good video then he is bringing new content to the forums which is awesome.

this isn't very good content tho.

[editline]30th April 2013[/editline]

o sry this isn't dubstep this in pendulum im an idiot

[Deadly1le]

i'm not just tryin to advertise, I solely dont even make money off those youtube vids ;) i'm more of a community person, and would love criticism, and looking to do projects for people.

Also i'm hoping if i can find other editors in these forums for tips

[yawmwen]

god damnit it's not pendulum i'm still an idiot but it's still not dubstep either.

[Beardy]

not as good as bobson's

[Deadly1le]

You are right about bobsons vid, he truly is an amazing player and person, i only got to meet him when his career was over, he truly was a guy who loved dods almost as much as kids love waking up to christmas morning

This is a more cleaner edit from me

Do people still think that swapping to your pistol and back really fast after shooting actually does something?

[RoadOfGirl]

not enough epic meme jokes

[Super Muffin]

Deadly what the hell are you doing here?
(Hi by the way)

I never expected to see you on FP. :v:

Celts's video is pretty overbright, but I like the flow.
The video with Ekvall is probably one of the best edits I've seen for sure.

There's still some dods players on here, but the community here has
stopped playing overall.

is your name jj abrams by chance

No, but I do it because it feels good.

I seen the valve section of FP, especially the modeling and source film maker interested me the most

[Citizen Insane]

I honestly cannot tell if people are being serious anymore.

Nice! The SFM section can definitely help you out.

[QUOTE=TheTalon;40474665]Do people still think that swapping to your pistol and back really fast after shooting actually does something?[/QUOTE]

It's pretty much impossible to find a realism player who doesn't

[Deadly1le]

[QUOTE=TheTalon;40474665]Do people still think that swapping to your pistol and back really fast after shooting actually does something?[/QUOTE]

swapping after scoped in definenately helps so you can move around faster, but sadly they still think so

[theseltsamone]

I thought this was Day of Defeat not Battlefield

of Defeat

3

Depending on some weapons in source games, actually does make a difference. Also some people do it to constantly refresh their reflexes during a game so they can react fast to multiple things.

[Hidole555]

One thing you should not do is name the thread "Best Whatever", [B]especially[/B] when it's your own content. Since you're looking for criticism, it would have helped to specify that in the thread title. So for example, you could have gone with a more humble option like "Looking for criticism on my SFM/DoD:S videos"

As it is right now, there's a good chance a portion of the posts in this thread will be blunt if not outright unhelpful.

[Jocke]

omg so deep

advice from an editor:

don't plaster effects over the videos because they look like [B]FUCKING SHIT[/B] and make the video look cheap, less is more!.

If you're going to make a frag video, be [B]DIFFERENT[/B], what do you have to offer that's different from everyone else?

[video=youtube;si3TG2mcvcw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si3TG2mcvcw[/video]

still not that good but it DID something different, so I actually watched it and to be honest, thought it was good.

[Araknid]

The editing really is mediocre at best

[SouthParkMGT]

That's how you must do really best frag videos:

Lenses do not work like those videos show.

Thats a comical amount of flare.

it refreshes reflexes a bit, i think i remember it actually counting it as pulling the bolt in older games, some people may just do it as a force of habit?

the most painful thing about these videos are the music choices

the second most painful thing is that they exist

[FDiz]

The music was terrible and the editing seems like you've scrolled through each effect and used them just because they are there. I can see some nice ideas in them but they are all ruined by the handfull of effects you placed on top of them, and the music certainly isn't helping.

The best 'frag' video I've seen is this one:
