I know that here has been tons of threads already posting all these frag videos but I just wanna know what you guys think about it. I honestly think Cadsmar has done a huge improvement compared to his other frag video "Structures". He's open to criticism. :)

I can tell Cadsmar just bandwagons on the nzr0 hal_9000 fan club and aliases as them, but maybe take some actual inspiration from their frag vids and not make this kind of drivel.

If you edit something from just the plain first person view there actually needs to be a purpose for it. These transitions and effects (*flowers*) do not add anything at all. It's not highlighting the frags or enhancing the experience for the viewer, I just feel like I'm watching windows media player visualizations to the music.

When you don't have experience you can't just shoot for top quality frag videos. Keep it small and simple and actually put time to it. Don't just sit down and try every effect vegas has to offer.

To be honest I thought the video was pretty sweet. Yes, a little too many unneeded effects/transitions, but still quite enjoyable.

your transitions were overused in the beginning, and then when you started using those flower type transitions then it basically made it so that it looked like your video was made in movie maker. If you do use a film burn, you have to use it in the right spot and you have to edit the film burn so that its narrowed down to the point in the video at which you need it, it kinda just looks like you just plopped random film burns in different places. As well, you might want to try to enhance the quality of your video cause it really doesn't look all that good. Your smooths could definitely be panned better and/or filmed better.

However, the overall improvement from this video to your old one 'structures' is really big.

morningfoxIs this tf2 lobby footage?

I'm not quite sure. Where or what kind of clips he's gotten. Although I've seen atleast 40% of these frags while playing with him and they were pugs/mixs/or scrim. I'm just the one here posting for Cads sake so he can improve on his next video.

EDIT: Cads didint use any lobby footage.

The flow throughout the video was actually really good. Some of the clips with tons of fast forwarding/slowmotion felt a bit forced but for the most part the sync was solid. A few more third person views or smooths would be nice and as others have said some of the effects were terrible.

I loved this video. It was pretty enjoyable to watch and the frags were nice. I'm pretty sure though everyone else has already given you the critique I was going to, though.

The music made it seem kinda melodramatic. I prefer more lighthearted songs for my tf2 frag vidz.

I feel like airshots are becoming the new like cross map throwing knifes

I mean sure they are impressive but it just looks like a filler now IMO

It also reminded me of this:

Good song, good syncing. Sort of hard to focus on the frags with all the editing but still enjoyable.
