CAL highlights by LsD clan.

Well, finally I could get the video uploaded.
I think I did a good job in general, taking into account this was my first time doing a frag vid :O
I would only have liked to do a bit better intro, but meh.



Length: 10:48
Size: 412mb
Resolution: 1280x768
Codec: x264




I'll copy paste the readme ;D

Clan {LsD}* is proud to present their first Frag video.
All the footage shown is from the Cyberathlete Amateur League seasons 1, 2, and 3. So not a single shot was staged
=LSD= --> 1st season \
=LsD= --> 2nd season > In case you were wondering =P
{LsD}* --> 3rd season /
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We apologize for the fact that some parts might seems jerky or some shots weird (like the rpg moving late, and magnum shots that aren't aimed properly.)
This is due to us being from South America, and playing the league with pings from 180 to 230 or some times even more =/
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The movie was produced by myself (Cristian Ontivero| aka onty.).
However, clanmates really helped (they gave me their demos with the tickrates of each frag)
Also, dark soul made the custom hud, and s0iz helped me with the music selection. Thanks guys <3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Speacial thanks to:
LukeGT421
Nate
Punk.

* For lending us their servers for the matches in the different seasons. Otherwise we couldn't have played, thank you !

Holy-moly

* For creating the pack with the guide and everything on how to make a good frag video.

We would also like to thank every single person in the video, because the matches were freaking good ! :]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note that if you are in this video is because.
1) We played against you in CAL
2) A frag against most players in the video is concidered "relevant" (at least for us), because lots of the players fragged are great and respected ones.
This is why we showed the death notices. We didn't want to make a video against random new and "unnamed" players.
3) Some players are shown more than others, because we have played more matches or rounds against some teams.

In NO WAY, this video intended to humillate someone or prove we are better than anybody. Some of the matches shown were won, others were lost, and the video shows just frag highlights.

I hope you can all enjoy it



*****Additional thanks to Briggs for uploading it thx man ! <3

Very nice! Good quality video, good frags, with a touch of humor at the end xD loved the elevator suicide lol.

thx zman keep the feedback coming every1!

Oh I cant wait. DLing now, hopefully my work PC can handle the codec.

kk I'll wait for ur feedback WT ! =)

downloading now, big file mhhmmmm

yup but taking into account the quality of the video I think it's fine ^^.
I gotta thank holy moly for that

what program did you use to edit this sony vegas? well anywasy nice video

Awesome very enjoyable

Love the RPG usage, well done.

Thanks Jelly and that_guy ! =)

@that_guy......yeah sony vegas, why?

just cuz im thinking of making a frag vid and i might try different programs

well, I really liked vegas =] Easy to use and dynamic.... very complete
I've heard Adobe premier is better, but more harder/complex too D;

Very nice vid, Onti.
Nice music, frags, editing. Awesome for first try.
Enjoyed it greatly and added it to my archive
Keep up the good work!

thanks poco !

First of all, mp4's don't play well on my computer and yes i have all the proper codecs installed. Even though the video was choppy, I could still tell it was a nice video and the quality is amazing. However it felt like a few of the kills received movie time because of WHO was killed and not because of how AWESOME the kill was. Overall, the good kills you had were pretty good, and i'd like to see an xvid version released Excellent addition to the HL2:DM Frag Movies.

p.s. i see i'm not the only one who has trouble doing damage against ace

Couldn't get this, sry =/

EDIT: LOL ! I think I got it now xDD

Thanks !

However it felt like a few of the kills received movie time because of WHO was killed and not because of how AWESOME the kill was.

Well, I tried to get the best of what we had, and a lot of nice combos or stuff where all fucked up because of the lag and being wrongly recorded (like some s0iz shots in which he seems like freaking missing and killing the person).
I'll make sure to get AWESOME stuff independently of who was killed in my personal video ;D
Lucky for you, I still have the uncompressed avi, so I can compress it to xvid....
I don't know how though... but surely reading here and there will get the job done =P

ahhaha!! the video is awesome! I love the music choices and the whole movie has a very don't mess wtih me or I'll pwn you attitude which makes pawesomes very awesome to the maxorize. Another awesome thing about this video is there are a lot of frags on biohazard, zeta and avalon which is very nice to see! that one xbow shot on zeta thru the grate was wicked !

oh snap i think the bamboo just arrived for my pandabear.

even though it was mp4..because they play laggy on my computer i opened it with VLC and it worked like a charm.

i enjoyed the movie i liked the headshot and stunstick sync. for a first time movie it was really enjoyable to watch.

also liked how you removed the hud but were able to keep the kill/death indicator, was waiting for someone to try this.

frags weren't amazing, but there were some really sweet kills in the movie , i personally like those rockets..

overall, really good job for a clan video and first time frag vid.

glad u liked it scar.
Regarding frags, I know the 10 minutes isn't filled with "z0mg !" frags =P.
But that's all we can do with 200 ping =/.
As I said to luke, I'll try to fix the "frags issue" on my personal vid ^^

well its not like theyre something you can come by all the time. its so random to get something that makes you go "OH SHIT!", so take your time..i only have a few demos with a couple kills that are pretty sweet. also with your ping thing, i thought it played really way...only lag to me from the video was through some of the weapons.

nice, although is there an xvid version? probably best making two versions so the computers that can't handle x264 can also play it without choppyness

Well, I do have at footage to make an at least 6 mins vid with only good frags.
But that's cuz I love them so much I try them all the time.
Sure, I miss a lot, but some few get me the kills, and after months of those "few" frags, u end up with a lot of footage.
I sent holy moly lot of stuff, but not my best cuz it's sv_pure 2

@ seagull.
I'ma quote myself here, when I answered a similar question to luke.

HAHAHAHAHHAHA ROFLMAO XD
I really lol'd >.<

I can help you with the xvid stuff, or holy can, he did a great job with his.

DLing again, just my luck, out T1 went down today half way thru the DL. D:

Feedback coming later tonight!

haha...I'll see ur feedback as soon as I get up then =P.
I saw holy's resources, and found the turorial.
I would just need to know what bitrate I gotta use...

Great video Onti! My PC struggled, so I also gotta get the xvid version, but I could watch well enough to appreciate the effort that went into this.

++ Awesome HUD, the perfect compromise, enjoyed knowing who players were
+ Looked great
+ Liked the music and synching
+ Nice frags, no need for em all to be "uberleet" given they are all vs solid players and all from CAL, I think you made fine choices given what you had to work with.
+ I'm in it woohoo

- Best to release xvid version along with x.264, at least until people's PCs catch up a bit.

Basically you guys kick ass and I hope you keep playing in CAL. I always look forward to playing LsD, no matter what the outcome. Love this video overall, fantastic release and excellent contribution to the HL2DM video library!

Whatver you do, don't play this in QuickTime Player. In Media Player Classic I'm perfectly fine with my Athlon 64 3200+ and a Radeon x800 Pro. Thinking VLC works just as good.

Going to watch the whole thing now, btw.

Thanks WT, It's good to know you liked it

++ Awesome HUD, the perfect compromise, enjoyed knowing who players were

I wanted it even better =P, but it seems it was hard....
Dark Soul did it btw

+ I'm in it woohoo

haha, and I even showed you killing me ;D
LsD (feat. WT) rofl

Very nice, some of those RPG frags made me shit my pants, esp that one on zeta that gets shot out the roof, and comes down right on a players head in the mag alley / scharger exit.

now im sad i havent gotten the chance to play you guys on the 2v2, we made it to playoffs last season but went inactive due to the amount of forfiet wins we were recieving and interest in other games..

modus and i are going to be making a demo of our 2v2s, not just from CAL, but i hope to achieve something as great as this, great editing, good choice in music and awesome frags.

i'd also like to note i enjoyed watching fearsome get pwned several times, doesn't matter how "good" the frag was when its against someone with that large of an ego.

Thanks a lot stowned, It's good to know you also liked it. Maybe we can arrange a good scrim some day

esp that one on zeta that gets shot out the roof, and comes down right on a players head in the mag alley / scharger exit.

Haha, seems that's the favorite one so far =P. I personally have always liked the "homing missile" as me and my mate call it xD, on amplitude =P
PS: not trying to be rude or anything, but please try to avoid any personal issue regarding others...I wouldn't like to see this thread to become an endless disscusion =/

ya no need to add you nading me while jesus, unless your trying to say you killed jesus or something. lol


Good video.....vlc woudn't work right so i had to watch it at half speed. i guess it's cuz my laptop it a POS. Still enjoyable thou. And most important shows the fun you can have in-game


I love how you hit ppl then they take two steps then die.

When Chuck Norris hits people, they don't even take one step. They just die.

hahahahahaha.
Yeah, and I hate when I hit people, take 2 steps, and kill me cuz the info of me hitting them doesn't reach -.-

If people know Chuck is about to hit them they die of fright on the spot!

I feel this is gonna turn into a chuck norris' jokes thread lulz

How many times was I in there?

9 frags against you mate =P, ( If not mistaken...)

Do you know the total number of frags?

badinfluence wrote:Do you know the total number of frags?

What, you trying to figure out how often you feature as a percentage??

Calculate mine while you are at it, I'll add it to my resume.

haha yea the michawave kills weren't all that great but nice video nonetheless.

nice video.
finnaly d/l and instal vLc to watch it.

it freezes at certain points for me. the time is still ticking but the action stops.

nice video. some funny bounce shots and rpg ropes in there.

good stuff.

Yo Onti, how long u think b4 we can get xvid version? I think I was able to watch about 70% of it, but I would really like to be able to watch it all the way thru without freezing or pixellation.

Well, I already have it in fact, it's about 10mb more, and image quality is a biiit worse.
My problem is uploading it....I already divided the .rar file in 5, so I can upload it better, but ..I would need someone to download the 5 .rar files after I upload it and upload the complete (1 .rar) file.
I think I'll upload it now.... If so, by tomorrow I should have the 5 files uploaded, and I'll surely ask briggs to upload the full version for me... =]

were there many people that couldn't watch it due to this?

haha yea the michawave kills weren't all that great but nice video nonetheless.

@blas---> s0iz doesn't play CAL anymore, since season one... so he footage is really old, and his shots aren't the most "impressive" ones. Maybe if he still played, I could have included better stuff

@old time ---> Thanks ! hopefully I can get the xvid uploaded by tomorrow so it won't freeze anymore =P.

Jeez ....somehow I missed those 2 posts, that's why I am answering late....sry guys.

I just saw this vid for the 1st time and I was very impressed. You put us low pinging americans to shame in those highlights! gg's keep up the good work!

Thanks herbalizer ! i'm glad you liked it
Hope to see you in this 4th CAL season ^^

good frags, definately good songs...hoepefully i will be able to watch it someday without having to puase and play every couple seconds to see it lol. nice vid

What do u mean with the pause thing? that's due to x264? I have already uploaded the Xvid version, It's just that I need someone to gather the 5 .rar files, turn them into one, and upload the vid.

I can recompile it and upload it here Onti. I just need to make sure I do it all as you want it, should I add XVID to the file name in case poeple DL both versions? Do you want to add a new readme, or just delete the x264 files?

Just delete the x264 files that I stupidily added -_-
add the xvid to the name if you want....It's ok with me =P.
oh...and leave feedback once you are able to watch it without freezing >,<

Already watched it. Fucking awesome, I didn't see any frags that didn't belong there, every single one was entertaining to me.

My fave is the bio frag where the rpg kills (Luke?) and then the nade comes flying in right after the frag. Hahaha...just making sure you are ALL DEAD!
Teamwork FTW!

I'll get it uploading right now.

Im working on it!!!

Well only one of us should so it, so it is consistent. I will let Briggs do it then upload the one he makes.

Make sure you update all your codecs, I had the same problem but it went away when I got a new codec pack.

Example linky?

Have you tried with K-lite codec pack WT?

Hey WT, just upload the vid...seems briggs is busy and he can't D:
So..if you could I would really appreciate it

Ten-Four... roger that... affirmative.

btw...thanks WT !

Sorry about the old bump. Finally got around to trying to download it on my dad's work computer and the porn block pops up. :evil: Grrr!

haha you can always bump this thread =P
So you hadn't seen it yet? D: ...well, at least you have the x264 and xvid version now ^^

Huh? I'll have to watch it when I get home.

LOL sry.... I already fixed the mistake in the sentence ...hopefully u will understand it now =P hehe.

0nti wrote:LOL sry.... I already fixed the mistake in the sentence ...hopefully u will understand it now =P hehe.

Yeah it's on my list of all the University vids to watch tonight when I get home.

Thank goodness for days off work!

Wow wow wow... thanks to all of you guys, for those who liked it and those who didn't like it, too

I think it's a very good video, the music synced well and the frags were pretty good.

As Onty said, I don't tolerate to play with high-latency anymore, I find it annoying and not fun at all (I always play for fun, I like competitions aswell but I don't like to get mad/nervus or whatever when playing).

I think Onty and Dark Soul are doing a great job at CAL, I am currently a bit retired because I'm busy with my studies and training. No worries; I'm not leaving, just standing by.

Conclusion, is good to know that you liked this video, although my frags are pretty old and "lazy" (yeah, slow, like a begineer).

Thanks again for everybody. Especially WT, DEFme and Holy-Moly for hosting.

My EuroTrip has ended and I am back at home again.

Good luck and keep playing.

PS: Pretty good improvement in this site!

Hope to see you playing soon mate, I gotta take advantage of your time without playing ...you'll surely suck for some time ^^ hahaha.

You damn right, I can't even hit the Start Menu on Windows now.

So I watched the movie and FINALLY got around to posting. You guys never cease to amaze me.

ty ! I hope I can amaze you with my personal vid

True... =/
Now it's like the 4th time I started all over again ...just didn't feel 100% good with the version I was doing before, and before, and before =P

Eh at least you started. I gave up.
