@Orchild:
Couple of points :
1. My original post was intended as a constructive criticism of where the movie itself falls down. Any good artist should be able to take that on board to improve future work. I can't remember slagging off the authors personally.
2. You should really take it as a compliment that I was prepared to sit and wait whilst 1.2g gigs of movie downloaded, and then watched it from beginning to end, and then cared enough to post about it offering comments about how it could be improved. I could have simply said "this suxX0rs, I ain't waiting for such a monster download to finish".
3. I've been away from the UT scene for years now, and only drop in now and then these days. I presume there was originally a call for demos to be submitted. I missed that. Sorry. UT isn't my life. (anymore
) That said, I headed up a clan jointly with another guy for about 4 years from 2001 - 2005, so if there's a shortage of assault demos for the next movie, drop me a line and you can have your pick from 4 years and several hundred recorded league matches in instagib and standard assault. Sure, they are all client side only, and mostly only from my in-game perspective, and no doubt you'll see the usual barrage of ribald comments about how hard -)BiB(- sucked, but hey. So what. You can see demos of -)BiB(- being 6-1 down and coming back to win a match 8-6 (still one of the best comebacks in the league's history), midair frags whilst moving and at mad angles in non-Deck16 maps in instagib against top players, top iCTF players being handed their asses by -)BiB(- when they first joined the instagib assault league, 1337 launches, -)BiB(- winning an instagib match despite the players on the other side botting (confirmed after the match by the admins who had been speccing the whole thing) and all the usual stuff.
4. I'm sticking by my comment about the frags, and for that matter frag movies in general. After a while, they get boring. You're seeing the same things over and over again in the same old maps. How about something a bit different for a change. Watch the SmileY and Sphinx movie to see what I mean. Or how about a "blooper" themed movie where say combos don't come off, launches mess up in a funny way, players miss easy frags, etc etc. There are so many more possibilities.
Instead of putting out a call for demos showing yet another monster kill spree / "headhunter" sequence or what have you, why not put out a call for demos showing funny fuck-ups? I can give you plenty of those too from -)BiB(-'s league match history.
At the end of the day, you have control over the content. If your movie is showing the same types of frags on the same maps as loads of others, don't be surprised when some people say "You know, this movie could have been so much better if only you'd ..."
