I liked the song choice, also nice frags
harbleudaytime metalworks looks awesome
I feel as if it makes the map's lighting seem more natural.

A couple posts up I said I was going to take it down to fix a few things. I have all but 1 fixed, which I'll do after scrims. Tomorrow morning/afternoon it should be back up.
HellbentHey I'm in there dying!
How else did you expect to ever make it in a frag video?

I liked the music.

I reuploaded the video with fixes made the best I could with the addition of another clip. Enjoy the video!
I also resubmitted this to truetf2 and /r/tf2, so if you upvoted before I would greatly appreciate it if you could do it again! c:

I wouldn't say this is a community frag vid. I'd say this is just community frags to music. Its not bad though.
couldnt tell what was happening half the time cause of the motion blur
1) color correct the clips - even something as small as adding a little contrast gets rid of the ugly tf2 gray sheen, which often makes the motion blur a lot more effective since things stand out
2) stop screwing with the in-game audio - editing in just the sounds of the shots is irritating and a waste when you can work on something productive for the video. Find a decent volume for the song, remove it during slow-mo if it needs it and then don't touch it.
3) use transitions between clips - quick cuts are acceptable for some situations but they really detract from the overall look and feel of the song choice
4) don't use two songs if you can help it - both of your song choices were ~4 mins to begin with, and you did very little to actually switch between the two. It made it look like two videos pasted together.
5) if you're doing edits make sure your message gets across - you had one clip where a scout bats a medic and he drops but your slow-mo wasn't even really at the right time, i had to watch it 3 times just to make sure
6) the video just ends for no reason
7) please have some quality control before you upload - unlist it and have friends watch it and watch it yourself a lot beforehand, i'm sure you would have caught the problems if you looked for some
I think it's great that you made the vid, but work on the video side of it and you can definitely up the overall quality. Take some notes from torn productions, they can do no wrong.

I feel like the songs were a little slow and really didn't match the clips very well. It was an ok video because some of the clips dragged on too.
I liked it it, the frags weren't draw dropping but they worked well enough in the vid. The whole thing had a crisp srping morning chill feel to it. Just a nice atmosphere all around. The only suggestion I have is that with chill slower tempo music I would have liked lower in-game volume, adds to the armosphere in my opinion.
Edit: I do agree with #39, if you were going for a perfect vid he is correct with what he says

The difference between motion blur in this video and the motion blur in my other recent videos is the lower framerate that I used seeing as absolutely nothing else is different in that area. I've talked with Decap about color correction, and the changes in visuals are only as much as you see here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maV9FdV3OP0 - the same plugins used, no CC really needed as I made it look fine.
The audio in this video was difficult to deal with. Considering that, I probably should have just used no audio, or very little. I don't know what causes it, but every now and then you'll run across a demo that won't have it's volume at a normal level and I fixed this by normalizing it in Vegas. Though that worked, it made it sound kind of funny. That's what happened with moosie's clip. I didn't want it completely silent, so the next best thing I figured was edited in sounds.
I'm bad @ transitions. Something I need to work on. Should I have used only one song? I had thought about this, but I wasn't sure. They're both really good songs in my opinion, but they're a bit repetitive, I wasn't sure you and everyone else would want to hear the same thing for 4 minutes.
Thank you for the advice, I'll take what you said into consideration.

be deliberate when you edit
dont splice shit together because you think thats how shit SHOULD go or thats how you saw somebody else do it
have a plan and execute, have a unique goal with every video and make them how you want them, dont bother trying to play off somebody elses style
the progression is getting there, just needs focus
