nice movie

This was awesome. Thank you for reminding me how much I love quake.

Sick tricks, editing, really cool weapon effects too :D. I don't like that type of music but it melted together with the movie so nicely that I didn't get bothered by it at all somehow.

Best tricking video I've seen in a while.

thats a sick rocket effect and cool intro

i love you renk.

too fastpaced for me hated the weapon effects aswell but 10/10 for living up the dream still!

9/10 would have been easy 10 if the music was better.

came back to this a few years later to say that i changed my mind about the first and third songs - they were amazing. however, i still think the second song was a little out of place.

a bit like the inverse of contenders 2 - in that, the intergalactic rock song was incredible, but the other songs were okay at best imo :/

10/10 would have been easy 9 if the music was worse.

looked and felt awesome, very nice.

that rocket is beautiful !_!

Very nice effects, great work :)

+++ looked great, really good editing
- - sadly, the tricks just didn't cut it for me. 99% rockets and no team tricks, so it kinda got boring after the 27th triple-rocketjump off the floor and then off a ledge.

7/10 for now, possibly 8/10 after a rewatch

yep, nicely looking but content was shit

[+] timescale )))
[+] visual effects are nicely done (what is the pack for rockets to look like that?)
[+] music (it's dubstep but it's nicely selected)
[+] cool tricks

===============================================================

[-] scripted tricks
[-] no in-game sound (makes the music selection matter less if it's not in-tune with what is happening on screen, and the best way to synchronise for a viewer is by picturing the whole aural experience together)

Overall, a solid 9/10 anyway cos some positive effects heavily outweigh the negative ones

major this piece of art :)

That was awesome.
P.S. why no 720p 60fps?

Impressive editing! Not my gametype, and I prefer teamtricks or runs if it's about defrag, but if I abstract from that, it's a solid movie, great work rEnk!

camera tracking is amazing

hehe theres no tracking in this movie ;)

hrhr :D

q3_mme + rEnk + mccormic = <3

The trick done by soul_brother 04:44 in the youtube clip blew my mind.
Amazing movie 10/10

Same man, when I saw this trick, my jaw just dropped. I was like... Whoa.

agreed, had to rewatch that part a few times, pure satisfaction :)

and finally, 10 points go to : renk :)

and the oscar goes to...
awesome job man !

Viewers from Germany can watch stream here: regame.tv

excellent movie but... what's the point of scripting?

awesome movie, but not knowing if a trick was scripted or if timescale was used takes away from the trick that are done fair and square imho

11/10

the editing alone deserves a 10

10/10
i love this movie
camera movement is soooo sick...

This is my first Vote ever on this Esreality Movie Page.

This is a solid 10/10 .

Renk you bring the Quake Moviemaking to a new Level .. all other Movies in the Future must be mess with this one.

Absolutly perfect in all your production things like:

- cut
-Music
-Effects
-Screenplay ( Color Correction is Amazing )
- Text effects its so good

Yeah i think thats the best Quake Movie yet.

Congratulation

Do not quite agree on the "best quake movie yet" part..

I think this movie is so liked by everyone because there were no as good movies as this one lately.
BUT if this would have come out a few years back, when Tricking iT2, Morning never came, other movies by negoxe, other movies by mrks were released - it would, of course, still be good, but would not be rated as 'best movie yet'...

I think quake 3 moviemaking scene is very weak nowadays and a good movie comes out like once in 6 months (if not more), when earlier a good movie would come out at least once a month and there were tons of good movies and moviemakers. Sad, but moviemaking scene is dead, compared to what it used to be with all those moviemaking gurus active a few years back.

Keep it up rEnk! Really liked some of the visual solutions used here. Very creative! Definitely worth to watch!

Ity my personaly thinks .. this Movie brings the Moviemaking in a new generation.

Everyone make Videos today .. every Movie is the same.
Im tired to see this Movies. All the same shema .. no one has new ideas.

Text / Frag / Frag / cam / Frag / Outro / Frag


I agree with you that in history was many more good Moviemakers in. Today .. maybe 2 or 3 guys can make new fresh movies.

This one have so many new ideas inside. And its perfect.

One of the best editing in a Q movie I've seen in a while, just stunning.

wow! fantastic movie. nice to see some of detinus moviedemos finally used in a movie. there are still a lot of good tricks by him though :)

Great movie! Especially the audio and video editing was levels above what you normally see. The music suited the content nicely as well.

The only bad thing i can point to would be the fact that some tricks were scripted, but those doesnt nessesarily make the movie any less entertaining to watch. It merely would be even more amazing if they werent, but still this gets a top score in my book :)

++ Editing
+ Music choice
+ Visual effects
- Scipted tricks

10/10

I voted 10 be4, but as someone said, in game sound is missing, so that's the only reason to vote 9...

awesome

nice movie

lol if only QL was actually this awesome

10/10 no question.

Even if i hate timescaled/scripted tricks, this is mind-blowing !

music - 10/10
tricks - 10/10
effects - 10/10
Editing - 10/10

great movie!

one of the sickest defrag movie ever made! =)

nice movie
10/10

custom fx-scripts r the best!!

Very nice editing! You could probably even make a CS movie look awesome :)

I remember watching one years back by aAa, no idea if they even still play but i actually enjoyed watching that even though it was CS. Also that fr0d one by complexity was pretty sick too.

its not Momentum

nor hate freestyle 2

Imagine that we could play q3 with custom fx effects $

Why no 720p @ 50fps :(

We're definetly ready to fight with the alien invasion from hell.

if we can do like this.

that's how quake live streams should look to attract new players :P

8/10

Huge [-] for a lot of obviously scripted tricks (and yes, I read disclaimer). But still, I very enjoyed this movie.

strangely felt disconnected from the tricks. possibly because freestyle tricking is becoming quite boring to me. i think its hard to appreciate if you're not actively doing it and if the tricks are not super duper awesome omg howd he do that quality.

quite good editing tho.

Don't understand how this movie can be liked that much.

Sure, the editing is good, the weapons effects look nice but it feels like I've seen all those 3 rockets jumps on those very same maps a thousand times already it just gets boring after a while.

Couldn't even watch it till the end, the content is just meh.

I was personally sold with the editing and overall atmosphere. It made me uber-excited. I've seen it 10 min ago and just wanna go home and play.

Have you seen all the tricking movies that were released over the years?

Yes, most of them. And have been really excited each time, either because of the amazing content or editing.

Guess we are just different then. :o

Yup, that's french for you.

I had the same feeling. I've never played defrag, but I feel like I know those 3-4 maps and their tricks. That's why I prefer runs and teamtricks. maps and tricks are kinda new there. Anyway the editing is superb.

That's just art. 10 for the pleasure it gave to my sens

eye'gasm!

Vindiou ! Amazing work ! Thx for this one ! 10 for me.

nice job

nice job

awesome stuff!! 10/10

.... music could be better... but the syncing and the sick moves compensate like mad.

I liked the 3rd person cameras and the ghost line behind enemy model is perfect for defrag... this shit delivers... good quality man! 1080@60fps pure sickness!

... also big + for creating suspension in scenes! like 2with2 rockets flying towards grounds (awesome timescale!!)

... nice plasma explosion sphere.

One question is rocket projectil model the same as the one we saw in Strenx 3D movie trailer. Cuz if it id, i did unjustice to strenx trailer, cuz this model looks badas, especialy with that rocket flame ans smoke.

... mmmooAARR!!!

0/10, earth is a spheroid, ffs.

Earth is flat noob ! ....no ?

YEAH YEAH NEXT YOU'LL TELL ME IT'S PLACED ON THE BACKS OF FOUR ELEPHANTS THAT STAND ON A COSMIC TURTLE LOL... we're fucked.

The content might not be the greatest, but I've never seen editing as good as the one in this movie.

The editing is a bit overkill. Nice fx scripts, though what happened with the nade? Just plain black smoke and nothing nade model?

Great movie, loved the FX.

I can't get the 1080p 60 fps version to run smoothly. I had the problem before with other movies.
Is a good graphic card needed to run these high quality videos?
I have a quad core and 8 gb ram, so that's definately not the problem. Video card is old and crappy though (Geforce 9600 GT).

Even an only dx7 capable veteran card would be much more than enough to display 1080p 2D video. I'm pretty sure it's not 9600GT.

Codec/media player issue.

Try mpc-hc (http://www.xvidvideo.ru/component/docman/doc_...-file.html) with madVR (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=146228) + LAV filters (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=156191).

That worked thanks!

One of the best Q3 visuals ever made, it looks really awesome. The content and the directing was not really my taste, but it looks truly amazing indeed.
Well done and thanks!

For me it's 6/10:

[-] Music, Pendulum and Qemists.. cmon, not fourteen anymore.
[-] Not so funny intro with generic ragefaces
[0] Effects looked nice overall, though it was on the edge of overediting imho
[0] Most tricks looked great although the most astonishing are probably scripted so dunno

Enjoyed recent movies like dorftrottel by kos way more, ofc frag- and defragmovies might not be comparable.

My opinion is the same as on the other forum;

+: nice editing, timescale, really shows the effort
+: the music bends quite well with the action (it's not my type though)
+: for being hungarian :)

-: rocket and explosion effects are just a big no for me
-: I forget to mention there, that I'm missing the ingame sounds too - this helps to create a more intense experience while watching

Anyways, a good movie but as some mentioned above, not the best. I'm still a Shaolin Productions fan - I know how hard is to make something noticeable, knowing what kind of masterpieces laying around on the internet. But regarding the comments here, I guess you came out this with a positive feedback overall, and that's what matters (besides the personal satisfaction).
Maybe I'll ask you about some camera tricks and such; I was planning on making a movie sometime, but I'm really noob regarding camera placement and usage.

This was so mindblowing, i forgot to cut my bap before trying to add butter to it while watching this :D !!!!!!

What is timescaling?

/timescale <1 will make q3 run slower - making the tricks a lot lot easier, hence considered a 'hack' by purists.

Yeah cheers, i thought i was something like that, and so gave it low score. If you can't do the tricks then you got to try harder, not cheat..!

Not all the tricks are timescaled/scripted :P

best editing ever, tricks suffered under it but still worth a 10.

Liked it!

wow, i am really impressed.
great editing, effects, color correction and the whole presentation!
it's too bad that the content is so old and without the ingame sounds one was forced to concentrate on the "special" music.

it would be great if you could write some tutorials, rEnk.

this can easily be qualified as a beautiful piece of art.

also, i dont like metal but this is the first quake vid ever with a metal track that didnt feel completely out of place and was perfectly suited to the mood... had to rewatch rox / plasma trick 10 times cuz music went so well with it.

what metal?

the in flames track (last one)?

it's right there in the readme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBJjREXXSyA

I don't consider that specific track to be metal

what is then, hard rock?

metal doesn't consist only of burzum, mayhem and darkthrone

I'm not sure what I consider it it's a bit too repetitive for an inflames song and just doesn't count

its remixed metal, but metal.

It's rare that any movie deserves a 10, and this one is no exception. EH4 certainly didn't deserve a 10 and that's our movie, so I'm not being biased. However, I loved the hard work put into the q3mme fx. The camwork was too erratic at times and the scripting/timescaling affected my vote. I appreciate the fact that you mentioned the scripting/timescaling firsthand, though. The music was better than I expected. All in all, I gave this movie a solid 7.

it's just beautiful, first time in a while I'm voting 10.

Some of the tricks in this movie are a little stale in my opinion. Some, of course, are fantastic.. but a lot of them I feel like I've seen before (I believe someone made a similar comment earlier). Although I did rate very highly because I felt like the editing created a completely unique atmosphere. Enjoyed the variance in music and all the colours that had me glued to the screen - it was just bordering the line between editing perfection and over-editing.

Only thing that could have made it better, in my opinion, is some original team tricks.

Always good to see a new quake movie, especially defrag. The movie really should have had a little indicator for the scripted and timescaled tricks imo. I'm not saying ts and scripted tricks don't deserve to be there - but using timescale or scripts is just such a massive advantage over legit effort put in by others, it's all too common these days for people to take the easy route in everything they do.

- I don't like freestyle
- didn't feel special at all. Guess I got used to kos movies.
- scripted/"timescaled" tricks

therefore, 7/10

no offense bet kos made movies about the biggest ever existed cheater in defrag :)

good editing ... want to play again some quake ...
I wish I had a good netconnection and also a better computer ...
hopefully this summer =)

Wow, that was real good.

Transitions were amazing!

I didn't really like the music choice, truth be told, best music was outro.

Tricks were really complex, as expected from guys like rbk, detinu and buddha.

Throw it a 10.

No words can say how good this is.

Man i look&#65279; 1080p 60 fps on TV LED 40 inches. Sticks me in a chair ! Incredible quality & FX editing You are 1 st quake movie maker for me ! Continue this job ! Now I feel so small :) Respect

Hello,

Thank you for making this beautiful movie. I must confess that many of my tricks (not all of them) used short scripts to set up timing. My reason for this was that my imagination could not be contained within the game's normal bounds. That is not to say that I did not spend countless hours on each trick, because I did. My goal was to realize my technical and overall creativity, while still keeping a unique, smooth style. If people knew me on OPC they know that I have hundreds of demos and I believe each of them has something special and unique that I worked very hard toward. However, cowardice got the best of me, and I did not openly disclose which tricks used these scripts and which did not, so please forgive me for that. I hope that my tricks can still bring people joy, regardless, and that people can see the larger picture of how freestyle is about creativity and not about competition.

On another note, although my demos for this movie were likely hand selected from a batch, many more complex and time consuming demos are still floating around yet to be used. I hope that someone can find a use for them, as trickjumping was once a large and important component of my life.

Best wishes,
Detinu

Hey Detinu,

I had the feeling you sometimes used scripts for timing/setups. I believe you actually mentioned using scripts for timing when you posted your movie finisher "huzzah" on OPC. The overall quality of your tricks was just so incredibly high, it made me feel better about my own tricks knowing you're not a robot :<. Nevertheless you still are my favourite freestyler and after all I am a fan of Buddha, ElvisUptown, Khetti and Camping_Gaz etc., so I don't mind scripting and timescaling if it is disclosed. I really hope your remaining demos will be used for a awesome tricking movie (especially "upwardmotion", "ubiquitous", "maphivefinishervariation" and "huzzah" :D).

Thanks for the reply SenT!neL :) I still remember tricking with you on servers a few times; I always felt a connection with you. May your days be filled with the light of positivity and a holy connection with the Great Spirit. Take care.
