Well, the frags werent that amazing. Like OMG I CAN WALKERFADE AND KILL LEVEL0 MARINES IN COMBAT OMG I ROCK, but some things were cool (like Maxx owning in that hive with the shotty) and some LMG sequences were really nice.

I have tryed bitrates 900, 1200, 2600, 3200 and finly 3600 and its not perfect imho thats becouse i had to reinstall the system and something was wrong with codecs. Besides it was my first movie with sound and so big resolution. Im gone read about it more and my second movie im gone make much better.
Yea, whats with all the "ammo received" text everywhere ? HLTV bug ? Same question for all the icons at the left of the screen (ammo/medpacks).
Random questions/feedback:
Nice intro... really nice.. like the outro too. Good filming/effects, could make a nice official NS trailer with some tweaking. However i don't like the special effects used in the transitions in the middle of the movie (when the image shatters into pieces, or transform into a 3d-block, things like that). I would have prefered white flashes and/or heavy blurring of the image, something less.. fancy. More... SPS-ish if you ever watched that vid.
As others mentionned the file is pretty big.. too big (but the host is good so we won't kill you.. this time hehe). Also, at about 80% of the movie, when the music change, the brightness/gamma goes way too high, why ? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Music is not that bad, even if it's not my taste it goes well with the action. But it could use some better mixing between tracks. Use an ambient sound for the transition if tracks can't mix too well or something (again, at 80% of the movie). Or a scream, something like this so there is no "silence";
<start of ambient sound> <end of track #1> <start of track #2> <end of ambient sound>
I think you should really focus on something less "frag movie". I don't like it. Frags are not that impressive really, except that ownage at the hive wich is not bad. Too much 1st person scenes, too much ns:combat action imho (pointless to show someone killing lvl0 armor marines with a fade in combat).
Last question; whats with the "ent 183 can't be deleted" stuff ? Another HLTV bug ?
Overall nice movie, but i'm sure you have the talent to do much better by looking at the intro/outro. Sorry for the criticism, but i think it's contructive somehow. I think we play on the same servers sometimes (yo-clan..), your nick sounds familiar to me. So if you don't like my feedback, just come and kill me <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Edit: Watched the whole video...about half of it was 'Holy crap, how on Earth did I survive that?', noob opponents, lucky instances where one of them happened to catch 3 or 4 marines with their backs turned, and so on. The other half was pretty fun to watch, had some genuinely skilled kills, these guys are far from mediocre but there was nothing like one marine taking on a team full of skulks at once or a gorge doing the same to a team of marines, but they were all pretty skilled. They seem to be particularly adept at switching to knife for the killing blow at JUST the right time...really, a good amount of knife kills and not one of them was just a lucky hit.

Droggog your feedback is moust impresive off all. I can say taht i have worked hard on intro and outro the middle was not made good i know that. Luck of time, patience i dont know. Its a good idea to make an NS trailer. Im gone thing aobut that. And about the game yes i play on Yo clan server and my own NS.PL servers. If some one knows how to make a good compression or knows any articles about it plz point me to them.
I think that movie is not showing real Polish Players skill... I promise we have lot of skilled players as like as that small polish scene. You will be owned on all servers.
Like I said in the other topic, 350 megs is way too much for a 13 minute movie.
The editing and into were very good, and I liked the music.
However, 70% of the frags were made on public combat servers, which don't seem that impressive at all. The NS frags weren't that good either, as there was almost none from actual clan wars/matches.

Yea mostly just owning pub noobs frags but maxx has skillz0rs.
Sorry it wasn't worth the download.
I have a lot of demos from a lot of mods, and this video was defiantly nicely done.
Also the NS team should use the first 1 min and 6 sec. of it as a trailer for NS.
Lower the bitrate to something respecable like... 1024.
You can still maintain enough quality to make the movie worth watching, while KEEPING THE FILESIZE LOWER THAN 200MB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*sigh*
PS.
thanks for good words Maximus~Titan.
