Description:
Phoenix Alliance - The Movie
by Azazel
#.pa on quakenet


Reasons I Made This Movie:

* To learn
* To inspire


Reasons You Might Want To Download This Movie:

* Great Quality
* Both xvid and x264 versions available
* Great sound track
* Extensive use of cams (RypelCam)
* 6 CTF runs from last seasons Clanbase OpenCup
* Good Frags
* You may have to watch the credits at least 6 times :)
* You may be left wanting more rather than less


Reasons You Might Not Want To Download This Movie:

* No dance music
* No Linkin Park
* Only 5% of the movie is Deck16


Codec Version Differences:

The XviD version is about, imo, as good as it can be done.
The quality is very high but never quite as sharp as x264.
For the increased quality in XviD the file size is around
50mb more than the x264 version.

If you do have x264 issues (stuttering playback etc) then
do download the XviD version, the difference between the 2
is minor and neither can or ever will be a patch on the
original uncompressed version.

Screenshots shown are from the x264 compressed version.

Okay azazel, this movie really surprised me :) Really REALLY good use of the cams :), really brilliant, didnt think first movie with rypel cam would have used it so good. Also the quality and editing are good, quality is amazing AMAZING :) . The music is so so , i wouldnt pick it as movie music, but this doesnt make it bad. And the worst thing about the movie are the frags, this camming and stuff, well it looks kinda cool, but well, this movie deserved better frags imo :) . Also I am for removing the frag msg, especially not when it comes to CTF, really hard to see wether u kill someone..
After all, good and surprising job, especially on the cams :)

Well we don't play dm as a clan so the frags show it, though camming + slomo can make good frags look weak.
I can assure you that any dm frags were followed by a "ns" from the other player which is always a good sign in game :)

Thanks for the comments though, appreciate it considering its my first movie as well :)

Also the movie was made in 2 months, not 5 years lol
Having a baby just 2 weeks ago made its release shorter/sooner than I wanted but thats life!

That was amazing azazel. Congrats on your baby and the amazing movie you made. Rypelcam worked a treat. The frags werent good BUT the rypelcam more than made up for them dude. THE OUTRO OMGSH the outro is just legendary. Well done on the movie man. Hope theres more from you.

+Quality (very very nice)
+Editing (rypelcam sends UT movies into a new Generation, or shall we say Last? ;J)
+OUTRO looked so nice, one of the best outro's I've seen, if not THE best lookin! and not to long either, nicenice:))
+Originality (The fact that theres no fragmessages and with all the camming and 3rd person it works well with the movie)

-Music (The first track is allright, but the second well u know how I feel about that 1 ;> )
-Frags (Maybe I'm spoiled, but frags could be way better with some more deck16 games ;PP)
-syncing (there was no syncing as far as I noticed, but ingamesounds make up for it kinda)

Overall a great great movie, deffinatley a keeper for me.
I kinda knew the rypels were gonna rock cuz i've seen some peak previews, so didnt come as a big suprise to me, but it was very very nice what u did with the cams, I hope u can show me so I can make it almost as good, but with better shots :>
The movie was a pleasant watch, like it was beatiful for the eyes.
Did it inspire me to edit my movie? YES!!
Did it inspire me to go play UT? im afraid no.
Overall 8\10.

Congratz with baby btw!

Thanks for all the comments, just don't concentrate on the frags :) enjoy the movie for what it is, not what it isn't :)

I'm hoping to start another movie soon which will be a frag movie but I will be requesting demos for that so make sure you keep them l33t shots for me!!

A lot of stuff is subtely synced rather than picking some easy thudding dance track to sync to :)

Syncing might not be to a beat though, it might be to a part of the lyric or something else in the tune, worth another watch just to see if you can spot them :)

This movie would come under the macro/mood syncing.

I find syncing to repetitive beats boring and easy.
Worse still, when I see blatant speeding/slowing of a video clip just to "match it up" I find that just lazy.
