[+] for blading. wish my parents let me do that as a kid :(

LOL. What a load of bullshit.

Too much whining how Quake community doesn't get his "artistic" vision and shiting on other movie makers.

When he doesn't get high ratings here then it's "I'm not making Quake movie, I'm making movies with Quake content, I don't care what Quake community says". Sure, that's why he gets so butthurt when ratings are too low for his liking.

Oh, and someone who makes movies really should know this

Most of the movies in TV and cinemas are made with 23.97 or 23.976frame rate. Even Blu-ray and 3D movies in IMAX. That's because the eye is captured at that fps, and above that frame rate its our brain that smoothens out the rest cause it can notice that the video is using more.

is another bullshit. Eye doesn't capture at 23.97 FPS, eye doesn't capture at any FPS, it receives continuous flow of information.

Not really suprised that person behind all those unwatchable gimmicky movies is self-important douche.

is another bullshit.

the real reason that it's bullshit, is because 23 fps was chosen as the fastest framerate they needed to do back when they switched from silent films to sound, so that the sound could be synced by the brain to the video. funnily, everyone complained about that too. and when switching to color.

The Hobbit is filmed at 60fps, and is much more immerse, realistic and beautiful experience, despite all the whine from your peanut gallery.

I still can't believe there are such clueless people, especially when they work with videos.

There actually is a minimum frame rate from which on the display of so many images per second makes movement appear smooth to the eye. Not sure which it was though.

Still, (35mm) film movies are (and have been for decades) shot at 24fps. And in theatres they're projected at 24fps.

When converting the film for television broadcast though, the film is speed up to 25fps for PAL and slowed down to 23.976fps and then telecined (via 2:3 pulldown) for NTSC.

So that's the one single reason where that odd "23.976" figure comes from. NTSC, a television standard, and nothing else.

15 if I recall correctly.

To expand: I love mccormic. He's a cool dude. I just fucking despise how highly he thinks of himself and how lowly he thinks of literally EVERYBODY else. I have quotes from IRC of him shit talking the likes of Entik and KOS, saying how KOS is "only technically good", and how Entik "really isn't that good". He went on to mention how Celestia was the best Defrag movie ever. This attitude is so frustrating, that it's increasingly hard for me to like his movies every time he makes one, even though they aren't that bad (though his movies, such as Kleftogiannis, aren't nearly as good as Dorftrottel or The Contenders 2).

He is a cool guy though, when he isn't being a pretentious douche.

</rant>

I have to agree with you but I think celestia is the best quake movie so far

Maybe not THE best, but certainly one of the best.

best

Maybe not.

fuck celestia i hated it. the best quake movie of all times is reach the m0oo0n :) (im gonna save my imo's you guys know how its meant)

I loved that movie as well <3

I plused you for several reasons.

One being the fact that this post reveals more about him than the whole interview, the second one is reminding me about Dorftrottel.

never knew this. thanks for the lols.

1 - dorftrottel is definitively the 2nd best quake movie ever made (after gq3).
2 - hate freestyle 2 is the best defrag movie ever (celestia is still a work of art, though).
3 - entik and kos are both better and far more polished editors than mccormic (really didn't think kleftogiannis or the strenx movie was anywhere near the level of celestia)

In all fairness, I'm pretty sure mccormic didn't do the Strenx movie, but instead provided all the fx and did the 3D renders for it.

true, but i still felt his work post celestia has been pretty choppy

wow a lot of hate in here. o remember him talking about other movies and critics ina negative way on the other hand i met him in rl and hes a good guy. ... anyway no one fucks with KOS cause he is an artist and the best of his kind! KOS is the BOSS and the person to top him needs to be produced yet in the best orgy in the history of human reproduction . WORD mouse over and out

are u drunked

a bit but still KOS is the king and hes untouched (i mean artsy im pretty sure he got touched before )

I was last night, but I have to say KOS is indeed the boss

"fuck celestia i hated it."
"wow a lot of hate in here"

and yeah, kos is the king in quake movies, but thats a fact.

help quake

I could make a video including only Stermy and Noctis with low picmip and dubstep to get 11 out of 10 from Quakers

Yes that will give u an easy 11 out of 10 here... why not try it? (spoiler: if u get more that 6, u probably posted it on another site).

Good movie making skills, but that statement together with the one about fps exhibit weak perception imo.

For the rest, I just really like the fact that he is doing what he likes and he is doing it well.

and dubstep

1/10 :(

weak perception

From somebody coming from an artistic angle, I wouldn't really expect knowing all the technical ins and outs. Analogue and digital video is an incredibly complex field, especially so when compression's coming into play (still pissed about all the bandwidth I've wasted during my time due to dl'ing amateurish, poorly done movie rips).

Problematic of course is pretending to posses the knowledge and making a fool out of oneself when talking nonsense. Although the foreign language may have also played a part in this case.

I R FAM00z

NO PRESSURE

HELL NAO

most pretentious amateur i've ever seen... dunning kruger effect at work.

He's talking like he's up there with cRZYFST, kala, sozou, tpr etc.

Make a movie like rdy, willing and able, hard clan die hard, annhilation 2, dorftrottel, eve and then u can talk like a big shot ...

Omg , why so much hate nerds ?

Omg, why so much hate nerds ?

you know what's a good question for a movie maker, have you ever staged a frag that appears in your movie ?

i dont think thats common in quake at all. i admit i cut out missed rails to make it look like a better sequence than it was but i guess thats within the artistic freedom

i do believe there are plenty staged frags in famous quake movies
