FOTW - Frag Of the week

i would like to do this for the DM community.

FRag of the week is a short Video made from Current League matches from all teams. And a Group a Video makers go through submitted demos.

We do it in Dod.s at a community wedsite and it has helped bring new ppl to that game. I'm sure we can do the same if we can get enough footage per week and post them everywhere.

Would this be possible and whos with me?

Great idea, I just won't have time to watch any demos this week and the week after that, after these 2 coming weeks and if the idea still stand, I would most definately like to help...

I think this is a great idea also. We can host the videos here and post em on steamforums too.

So I'm in, it is just getting the demos that will be the trick. If you have connections with good players and teams, maybe try to get em to participate. If we cant get enough demos weekly, a monthly video would work too and will probably be more sustainable.

I'll look through some of my older demos as well, seen some gnarly stuff in my day.. ;)

My FOTW: To start June on a good note:

I avoid this xbow shot miraculously from half a inch and then get the kill by shooting around the same spot he shot.

it's less about making the most insane video, then showing how much fun you can have playing in a hl2dm match. Euro dods does a Month Highlight which is likely what we would need to do

I think this is a good idea but I got some questions....

So this FOTW goes by league matches only?
Is it from demos from all clans/teams or just ones who want to participate?
Is the FOTW one video of all the frags put together?

So this FOTW goes by league matches only? - Well the dods community only does CAL matches, but thats about 50 teams to get demos from. I say for Hl2dm we take demos from euro leagues, cal, ildm, and Any other league that may be playing, if we can't get enough demos maybe add scim footage in also.

Is it from demos from all clans/teams or just ones who want to participate? - Yes all clans can submit demos (upload to this site if we get it going) then whoever is making the video d/ls the clips and picks the frags and lenght of the video

Is the FOTW one video of all the frags put together? Yeah it's an edited video from the Raw match footage submitted

As in the video, it would have a section for each player selected, stating their Name and clan before their frags. The more footage submitted the longer and better the video.

Thanks for answering those questions, I posted them when I was dl'ing the video you posted of dods and after I watched it, it answered some of those questions.

The only problem I see is someone making a video of all this clips per week, it is hard to say if they will have the time to do it and it is a lot for one person to make.

I still think its a good idea though.

Yeah, monthly ftw. Given everything else we are trying to do here I think that's realistic.
