Now hear me out:
Normally totally against trickshotting and 12 year old dickheads having an orgasm to one of their mates' shots and all that jazz, but the editing and music in this was absolutely amazing :eek: honestly, so simplistic and eerie. Much better than all the over-edited crap you see nowadays. Judge the video by editing alone

I thought it was ok, wasn't really that much in terms of editting, no transitions or anything but the background sound ruined it... should have just cut a couple of bullet sounds and made them very subtle in the back and took out all the screaming 15 year olds(I know thats what trickshot montages are about.. but not with that kind of song). Colour correction was ****e aswel imo, made it look like it was capped with a dazzle !
Otherwise... not bad :P0 -
IMO thats just about average editing, nothing special
Faze are really annoying tooI thought it was ok, wasn't really that much in terms of editting, no transitions or anything but the background sound ruined it... should have just cut a couple of bullet sounds and made them very subtle in the back and took out all the screaming 15 year olds(I know thats what trickshot montages are about.. but not with that kind of song).

On a more serious note, I watched the video again, and I did notice a few missed sync points, which is fairly bad form from Agony since he's probably the 2nd most famous editor on Youtube.
TBH maybe I only I liked the video for the song but still people have to be more open. The edit was clean and simple, I prefer this to people who take away from the clips with constant cinematics and crazy bright CCs. People always have preconceived thoughts when it comes to videos like these. I mightn't like trickshotting but that doesn't mean before I watch the video I'm gonna think, "Oh this will be so crap and I'm gonna hate it no matter what."
Note I wasn't talking to anyone in particular about the above, it's just a general consensus. Tallon and Magill, I share the exact same opinion to ye when it comes to sniping anyways and ye both made good points, a lot of which I agree with.
Anyways, I'm not the type to take anything like this to heart nor the type who makes immature and childish comments to start bickering with people over something unimportant.
And at the end of the day, everybody knows Tallon and Magill are really both big, fat gay smelly pooheads.0 -
You like what you like frank.. simple as - once it tickles your fancy, share the vid with others
Didn't think the vid was that bad, not my thing though... When you realise that for every "trick shot" that they pull off, there are 20+ that miss and they meet an the business end of a SPAs.
Either that, or the fall off the side of the building in Highrise (about 1 minute into the vid) :P0 -
I feel bad now because I never heard of Agony
This is what you call a great montage

I should have mentioned, that is not just random lobbies, it's a Pro Mod competition and those guys are Highly skilled... For example, a couple of times in that video you see people get an Ace... To do that in a competition with that skill of players is amazing.. imo of course.
Also, I appreciate you being honest, I know you're not having a go at me
Also, my last two uploads are not QS

I think you are being very harsh on the vid in particular.
1. It's a Frag Movie, not some run of the mill montage.
2. It's all Pro-Mod, is an entirely balanced variation of SnD and while there are numerous public servers to play on PC (plus the odd hacked lobby version on console), it is what all the mainstream competitions use. Personally speaking, it's the only thing I rate on Youtube when it comes to COD. If thanks are a rating mark, than I don't think people here understand the level of quality in these vids. I've seen some very average and underwheming stuff be liked more than Frag movies which is mind boggling for me anyway.
3. As you eluded to in your post, the editing. The editing is far superior to what most produce. Youtube search any Frag Movie. It's more than just a gaming vid. There's an art aspect to it all.
4. The credits are long, and deservedly so IMO as these guys go the extra mile over the typical stuff.
When I was talking bout the above vid it was just in reference to the 50 second credits at the start.. regardless of how good a video is.. I just cant stand it! :mad: personal pref I guess..
The vid itself interms of content aint bad.. Reading my last post it does read badly, I was giving out about the intro to that clip but my QS rant was just a rant in general about how the majority of COD videos on the net are full of crap and I just hate watching them..
I rarely find a video that engulfs me.. I only really like a vid if the editing is clever or unique coz I like to see something different!0 -

I getcha, and I do agree with ya about the QS element on Youtube but in general, QS or not there is far too much averageness/crap.
Gameplay does nothing for me as unless it's ProMod as I've said numerous times. Most gameplay vids consist of high killstreaks doing all the work on Domination. If someone puts in a good score with non-lethal or simply lesser killstreaks I'll take notice, especially if unpopular guns are being used.
Youtube worthy gameplays is what I refer to them as - bigger the score, the better you are. Horse crap I've heard many commentators use that phrase as well. It'd be refreshing to see gameplay content that offers x person a challenge. Because of the lack of this, gameplays do nowt for me.
edit - If Perrin and Kells read this, they might remember a session we had where we used big killstreaks. My K/D in those handful of games was comfortably above 20, well above it I'm confident in saying that likewise the other lads from what I recall. It's not hard to post Youtube worthy gameplay vids.
edit again - I always ref this vid when talking about Frag Movies, but this is special -0 -

Love all those montages, Beans and Trout always have great, original music.
Just some recommendations, some you may have already seen:
One by Sam5k and Trout and Stevie
Mode by Jonas (maybe the best HCHQ montage ever, up there with Jazz's Blueprint, good song too)
Affinity by DJ Atriox and iQKz (the best clips I have ever seen, hands down. Mostly sniping but you should still enjoy it.)
My top 3 favourite montages ever right there0 -

That's really really well done. It's not to much sniping I don't like as the 360'ing FaZe Clan/the like and all the people copying them, or at least trying to.0 -

You're not posting enough IMO :pac:
The frag movies are unreal. Amazing editing combined with sick, competitive, action scenes.
More please!
Ah yeah man, I know you regularly thanks the frag movie vids. Just a tad worrying others don't see what you and me see if thanks is the rating system here :P
Wished I could post more If I get a chance tomorrow, I'll look through my favourites and post/re-post them here again. 0 -
IMO, CoD frag movies are boring, the game is just too slow in competitive play to make it exciting. The only CoD frag movie i really liked was mazarini's, mostly because the editing was insane.
Also frag movies in general are pretty easy to get clips for if your even slightly decent at the game and have a equally decent team of players. Just using a lan tournament for example... if you went to Iseries and were a seeded team you'd be placed in a group full of complete noob teams (At least compared to yourself). So you'll have 5 or 6 games to stomp the crap out of the weaker teams... in cs during the group stages, i would have gotten at least one or two aces per game, probably most being spray down 5 mans (5v5). Organised noobs basically... so they'll rush your bomb sites but without decent flashes and ****e aim.. and thus you get more opportunites for good clips than you would if it was public play were its everyone for themselves.
So yeah... its all fine saying thats all you rate.. but really... if you knew anything about competitive PC play or the CoD scene on PC you mightn't rate every frag movie as highly(Mazarini's in fairness is against top class players tho.. but it took him like a year and a half to record and edit that !).
Maybe thats just me and coming from playing competitive FPS on PC for a LONG time... but yeah.... i think its just a big ignorant if you've never actually done the same and yet rate it like you have.On a more serious note, I watched the video again, and I did notice a few missed sync points, which is fairly bad form from Agony since he's probably the 2nd most famous editor on Youtube.

HAHHA, cheeky bugger !
In fairness i think it would have been so much better if he didn't have the background talking/screaming and turned down the volume of the bullets. Its still better than what i can do anyway :P (Editing wise)0 -

No offence intended in my reply, but I won't be entertaining yourself with the inevitable reply from yourself because tbh, you and me are on a never ending roundabout of doom as far as most things are concerned and we have discussed this on Skype (quite possibly Twitter as well) before on my preference for frag movies over pub stomping montages fairly recently (early hour late chat we had including about CS and it's conversion to console from PC, etc.)
But yeah, personally speaking I find pub stomping gameplays/montages boring and that includes your ones(I commented in one of your vids as well as on Skype I really liked the music and intro of the Dueltage you did with Lee but other than that... that alone got a thumbs up from me. It was excellently done and kudos there on that front, but the clips did nowt for me.
Why one would ask? Because...
You look/play for montage worthy clips. No matter what some will say it's quite clear going from what people who make montages have said in the past be it on Youtube, Twitter or here that they play for clips when making a montage. Looking/playing for montage worthy clips doesn't impress me for the sheer fact the a large sum of decent players if going into a game with that intended purpose can get montage clips. You just have to know the right channels or traffic areas to go. Many clips are born from usually spawn trapping an enemy on Demolition/Domination. I can use Summit for example- High side - stay along the left staircase when they are spawning and triples if not more can be made. Likewise the opposite side near the pillar beside the cable car or even on the right side looking at their spawn. Janus control center as I so affectionately call it staircase if another place along with the forklift/cargo holding strafing from left to right. This is just one example of one map. Other maps are more sparse but sure they have their own traffic patterns too that can be manipulated in such a way where clips can be obtained.
In the majority of frag movies I've posted, the players in them, are usually competing at a VERY high level and playing for prize money. They care about the W. Not clips. If clips come, all well and good. If not, they won't sleep over it. Getting an triple, quad, ace in competitive play against players with a brain (you know full well COD players in public level for the most are quite, brain-dead to put it bluntly, you've said similar yourself about it including some on here) makes it that bit more impressive. There is no two ways about it, there is the skill factor.
I've always said, the editing for the most part is especially what I appreciate most about frag movies. This is the reason why I loved your Dueltage intro so much. I've seen it in frag movies numerous times (sometimes gameplay and sometimes IRL celebrations ref the church window bit), and I never tire of it. The music was a bonus. Moving on, it's not over-done like so many pub montages and it's easy on my eye. Everyone is different, of course. But based on thanks, Cereal and the odd time Lee aside, most people here dare I say don't appreciate even this aspect which is mind boggling for me. Again, each to their own. I'm not forcing anyone to like any vid I upload myself or random. I only do so because I like them first and foremost. But I'm trying to understand the logic where where there are some average vids (editing and/or gameplay) being liked more than frag-movies.
Maybe it's the fact not many here have played competitive level at any level bar maybe the odd priv match with their mates, and thus really do not appreciate the difficulty in playing well drilled and organised teams who know the grenade spots, the spawn points, the sight-lines, traffic patterns, etc.
I'm not being elitist here but peoples experience on here evidently stretches as far as pub stomping and thinking they are excellent players.
Back to editing for a sec. Music. Lot of it is dubstep/techno sure. But there are some cracking tunes in frag movies, which have a certain momentum about them leading to a crescendo. They just flow well with it.
I can understand seeing the same maps and guns being used can be boring somewhat but tbh that's not going to change now. It does help that the maps played in Pro Mod are if I'm not mistaken among my top 10 in COD history, thus I'm a bit softer on the map choice as a result - District, Crash, Strike, Backlot, Crossfire and Vacant. I do think there should be more maps allowed though. It'd be nice the competitive lads play on Ambush, Bloc, Broadcast, Chinatown and Pipeline though, but I don't fret about it.
As for the ignorant remark. That's all a bit ironic if talking about other subjects but I won't go there. I may never have experienced top level PC Pro Mod COD gaming. Neither have you. Neither have the 1000's who have liked the frag movie in the first place, does that make their opinions invalid? No. I've played Pro-Mod on public servers at a friends house once upon a time ago, and I have played around 20 games of Pro-Mod (Pro-Sim as PC gamers would call it) on my PS3 so I do have experience in that gametype. By far the most enjoyable thing I have played in COD.
I know our opinions will differ yet again and you'll possibly give me the 1st degree over my post, etc. But this has to be a handful of times by now that I've posted my thoughts on this topic here excluding are convo on Skype and probably Twitter too with yourself. Gap in traffic by the looks of things, so I'm gonna take the first exit of this roundabout if you don't mind
We can summarise this by saying -
Ade = fan of frag movies
Magill = not a fan of frag movies
... and leave it at that. Sorry for the long reply but wanted to make myself entirely clear as to what I see I'll try and stay off this topic in future as it'll go down the same round like now. 0 -

I've been looking for pub montage one for ages now. I had it saved on my previous Youtube channel before that was terminated. I think it was captain sparkles or sparkles who made it. Really excellently done. Cannot find it for the life of me though 0 -

Alright you guys. Only really stumbled across this forum like a few days back. Been hanging around xbox the whole time thinking that was all that was there.
I'm interested in getting involved in editing of videos, I'm an editor myself outside of gaming and wouldn't mind taking on a pet project just to see what it's like.
Looking at getting a PVR soon but until then I think it'd be great craic helping out the community and getting involved with yer good selves and sure even have a few games in between plus I know I'll never hit the level of the videos above so I think this is a good compromise to get me hands on some proper COD footage Send me a PM if you;re interested and I'll let yez know me editing set up and so forth. Also, pm me your channel page and I'll sub you. Nothing better than supporting your own and hearing a good old neutral Irish accent commentating 0 -

I think its maybe a bit late to get a kind of community montage on the go (For black ops anyway). Maybe someone like Thomasheen has enough good quality clips (His gameplays are usually very good so im guessing he does).
If not, it might be worth waiting until MW3 is released and doing a CoD community tage like the one I did for blops (But with more organisation obviously :P).0 -

Ah ya, it's more practice with After Effects than anything. Tis all a bit of practice. Hopefully should have a PVR in time for MW3, ftw 0 -

Funny you should say that because I actually threw all the clips I have lying around into a montage today. It's the most piss poor editing ever but I like it.
I will have clips for MW3 so if anyone wants to edit them when I get them I'll be more than willing to give them away to whatever projects people want them for 0 -

Ahhh yes. After effects is great, wish I had a better computer tho so i could really get decent with it. Maybe next year :P
I've probably a couple of clips saved on my fileshare that I haven't used i can send ya if you want. Nothing amazing tho.
BTW.. any links to some of your other non gaming edits ? :PThomasheen wrote: »Funny you should say that because I actually threw all the clips I have lying around into a montage today. It's the most piss poor editing ever but I like it.

When it comes to the release of Mw3 and depending on time playing etc. I can throw up a Mw3 Boards CoD montage if you guys think we should do another..?
..now with added organisation
That would be cool. I missed out on the first one. MW3 looks way easier to get clips in than blops too so it should be good for montage material0 -

A few guys you should contact about this, that are great players (IMO) are Happy Killmore and Benrobjon, whenever i'm in games with them they're pure beast, there's a few others on here that are pretty good too.0 -
