<div class="IPBDescription">European Competetive Frag Movie</div>Strafe is a competetive frag movie featuring Europe's top players, documenting the highlights of 3 seasons of the European Natural Selection League aswell as assorted cups run by the ENSL.


Movie Stats :

FileSize : 190mb
Runtime : ~8 minutes
Codec Required : x264


DISCLAIMER :
Near the end of Strafe's production, I managed to lose the project files through a freak harddrive failure - this meant that I would have had to start from scratch if I hadn't had a test version (fully uncompressed thankfully) rendered to my other hard drive.
Whilst the video was almost complete anyway, it meant that there are a couple of minor errors in the video which although I would love to fix - I simply can't.


Many thanks to Fana, mu, PhOeNiX, Sublime and Zamma for their advice, and also to everybody who supported and motivated me during the making of Strafe.

Many thanks to puzl for the hosting

    Nice work, good job on highlightening the hand grenade killing the fade.

    Nice ending there with origin aswell, made me laugh.

    I know you might of had some hard drive problems, but why was the crosshair constantly changing, the encoding techniques (guassion effect, frame interleaving, different encoded codecs, wmv, divx, etc) always changing. The intro was almost half the movie.

    Good effort though, there were a few kills which really impressed me. It's really hard to make a good NS frag film, and I have only seen two frag films which have been 'good' by my standards before.

    It was definately worth the download.

    I really don't understand what you're talking about here:

    Crosshair constantly changing? It was included ine *one* clip in the entire movie - by accident. Every other clip had crosshair 0
    Only one codec was used - period (namely x264).
    Encoding techniques? Surely you mean edited effects?

    I appreciate it's not perfect but if I'd been able to go back and fix everything I wanted to - I would have done <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

    I don't think you quite understand what I'm getting at. And i thought that the no crosshair must have really been a really small dot that we couldn't see becaue the quality was so poor.

    Probably something with my PC, but I got no video. Tried with Quicktime 7 and all other media players I have.

    It worked in Windows Media Player for me, after Quicktime didn't show video.

    Also, the player of choice for me is VLC, plays almost everything.

    Pro video, it seemed shorter than it was. The least repetetive frag movie so far in NS.

    Interesting to watch coming from playing only public.

    Don't think I could play like you guys - everything is so bright and no shadows. I'd miss my shadows <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

    Some really good kills/shots there. Must have been a ###### to edit.
