Frag Video Idea

I had a random thought pop into my head the other day:

I think it would be entertaining if someone (not me cause I'm bad at editing) made a sweet frag video. It would be all really awesome airshots, but every clip would be from the point of view of the victim.

Just a random idea, throwing it out there for any video editors.

this would be hilarious to watch. It would be more funny than awe-inspiring like most frag videos are though.

I don't know, sometimes getting airshot is just disorienting, I guess if it was in slow motion, with some third person or something.

It'd be like a reverse-frag movie. Definitely more for entertainment than inspiring awe.

But there have been a few times that I've been airshot where I'm just hanging in the air and I feel like I'm slow motion just watching that rocket hit me straight between the eyes.

For an extra comedic effect, if anyone were to have their Mumble Comms recorded, that could be added into it at some points like how shout-casting is added into certain frags.

Trying to jump onto train on badlands while escaping, get popped into the air, circle strafe and get airshot.

The ultimate clip for this is the one from the S10 LAN when Relic airshot Mackey on Warmfront mid. The camera was Mackey's POV as he gets popped up into the skybox, looking down at relic as this rocket comes chasing after him. Mackey hits the skybox roof and the rocket connects. It was so epic.

Go to 21:01.

All you really need is the person who did the airshot+stv of the match.

I doubt many people would bookmark themselves getting airshot so this seems the best way to go about it.

You're the video editor, how do YOU want it to look?

the problem I see, is that no matter what camera, the POV will immedietly die once the person dies, making it like explosion->falling body->REPEAT

Well there's not much to see after the rocket connects anyways, so I don't think it'd be much of an issue.

Bump. I just had the idea of "reverse frag video" and searched it and found this, I think it's a great idea and somebody should do it. If it's been done, please link.

Some additional ideas:

  • group video by the frag victim, giving each one an intro like they do in team frag videos
  • show the fragger POV in a small picture-in-picture window so that there is some context
  • a montage of cheeky bs like victim turning corners into charge shots, syncs, reflects, stabs, and other unfortunate things
