poconut - short vid

2 minutes, 97.5mb
I got a to play a little bit over the summer, so I threw a video together. I didn't get all the stuff out of the demos, so expect at least 1 more vid like this over the next month or so. Hope you enjoy!

What's the name of the map with the red columns? never saw that one

thanks for the comments
@conflict, it's a 911 map, maybe dm_911_l33t or something like that.

hey poco ! nice to see another movie from you
some pretty sweet mid air xbow and prop.
nice mag as always
keep it up ! and now that you can't play much I imagine you will have some time to learn more about movie making, regarding that aspect, try using 1280x720 next time, and compress with x264 if you can, you will get better quality.
Check out some videos in www.sourceradio.com to see how they are edited... I think it's time for the hl2dm community to start showing some nice editing skills!

thanks alot onti, I'll check it out!

Velly Nice!

I FRIGIN LOVED THIS

your editing was awesome. syncing the frags to the music was spot on, it kept me interested the whole time while watching.
the smg_nade to shotgun juggle kill on lv was fun to watch.

poconuts video shows the exact skills needed!

hmm, the fact that I didn't really edit makes me suspect sarcasm (?). If not, I'm really glad you liked it as much as you did. If so, I guess you don't really understand where I'm coming from and why I made it

the editing i'm talking about is the fact you took the time to think of the music and the kills and sync em. i guess i wasn't totally clear with my explanation.
dont sell yourself short though, you did edit what you put together.
awesome video. i wasn't joking or being sarcastic. if i didn't like it, i just would of cleared it off my pute and not commented on this forum.

i really enjoyed what you did poconut! cant wait to see what your next one will look like.

ah, thanks for clearing that up.
Just so you know, this was kind of meant to follow the spirit of .conflict's short videos (which I really enjoyed).

yeah being his 3rd(?) movie, he already has some experience, he knows how to sync well, now it's time to use some sexy effects baby! ;P
Try checking some masking tutorials, you will be amazed how that technique opens doors (both for transitions and effects) and how people use it in increadibly creative ways.
Everyone reading this should watch the BEST DAMN MOVIE PERIOD contest done by the movie vault. The editing that those videos have is just top notch.

Hey Onti I did check out a few of the sourceradio videos. The editing is out of this world
I really liked Jaro3, but I don't think I would have the time to learn those techniques he used to edit. I did pick up on a few easier things to do to add polish, like blurring out the non-important interim sequences to draw attention to the frags.

great vid the midair stuff was awesome, and seeing dm_detainment (one of my new fave non-CAL maps) in a vid is always awesome
