Hello, I’m a salesman sorta giant, I sell molly and mary and other various items. Honestly there is nothing much I can tell about myself. Besides the fact that I’m quite depressive and boring person, but you guys already know that. I enjoy different forms of art, particularly visual ones. Music, literature, paintings, cinema – love all that stuff, it’s a huge part of my life and I’m also trying to find different ways of expressing myself through it.

Oh, and I’m a promode player as well :3

Yup, I’ve been learning all those features and tools by myself, though after all I’m facing the awareness of me lacking various skills and knowledge. So I’d prefer to get some education in the future if you ask, that’s definitely the most efficient way to progress whatsoever.

At this point I prefer to use Vegas and AE. Classical combination. Though, I want to learn a couple of more programs, like c4d and something for 2d motion graphics.

Yes. It always starts with a music. Music is a basement of my movies. I’m spending lots of time searching for the right tracks. I’ve got my own criteria of a proper music for the movies. Sometimes it has nothing common with what I prefer to listen irl. And if I found a decent track – that’s basically a half of the job done. I’m listening to it a lot, watching frags and trying gather some accomplished image of the movie in my head. Then the editing begins.

I’ve been watching frag movies since I was a CS player, many years ago. Step by step the intention of creating something of my own had been generated. I think wntt’s “Chasing Dragons” induced me to finally try myself out in terms of moviemaking. Speaking of movies and edits that inspires me: any of the wntt’s movies, Before "Daybreak" and "Favorite 3" by impegz, "Nocturnal" by plat0n. And there is a couple of guys from the outside of the quake community: rbxcbd and RM Maniac, those two are cs/cod editors. “Hero” by melechesh (aka Quake is Potat) was really good, imo. Also, "Rocket Science" by subz, "Lazery Attack" by lunokhod-2, "Dag Def Extreme 3" by pez, "Epilepsy" by Jissse.

Frankly I don’t like none of my movies so far. I’m striving to progress all the time, but due to a number of reasons it doesn’t really happen fast enough. “Limbo” was a tough one. It’s a fine movie, still far from my ideal, since I want to reach a new level and create something way more complicated.

Well, it all depends on so many aspects. I’m doing my movies mostly for myself and a small audience of people who enjoy them. Personally I’m more interested now in producing something more cinematic, as well as montage heavy. Frags are not in priority. It doesn’t mean that I don’t care about content at all, I’m just saying that emphasis in my works will be slightly different in the future.

I hope it will become more professional. I’m as a viewer, interested in watching high quality works. By “high quality” I imply that author invested some real efforts in his work in order to make it look better and more creative than the works of others. I believe that some heavy AE plug-ins and the trend of creating 3D – this is what going to allure more creative minds soon.

Please try to conform some major quality standards. Youtube nowadays is full of diverse tutorials on the related topic, feel free to learn something new. Always strive and prosper.

First of all, I’d like to say a few words to the ESR audience: stereotypical, mundane way of thinking and judging – this is what kills creative intentions. Aight. Shoutouts to people who inspired me, to people who helped me, to people who support me. I appreciate that, guys. It sounds as a cliché I presume, but that’s true, without your help, support, tips and advices I wouldn’t get even this far. And moviemaking has also made a huge impact on me as person and my life, at some point it literally helped me to find the reasons to keep living. See you and stay tuned.
