Hey all. This is a fairly old movie I'm asking for feedback on because I didn't ever really post it on here and I didn't really get good criticism on what I need to improve on. I'm only asking for feedback since I'm working on a new project and I'd like to see what I can improve on for my next project. Be warned that it's a spy frag movie, but I set out to make an actually good one against people who are good.
Anyway, here it is:

Spy frags tend to not be all that entertaining as most of the time it's just someone clicking on someone's back. However I really enjoyed the music and the editing, and despite it being a spy vid, I really enjoyed the whole thing (not to mention there were some pretty sweet frags in there... harbleu stairstabbed heh)

The editing was nice, only complaint was that there were way to many one kills that felt very common for a plat level spy. Would be nice to have seen more trick stabs (it's plat and I understand it's not going to happen often).

Loved the video! Don't feel like being very technical with what I liked so i'll just leave it at that.

When i first saw it i loved it, although looking back now you could have done something a bit more interesting with the colors.

Hmm, I can see how it can be an issue. I'm not really sure how I'd remedy it, however. I'll keep it in mind regardless, though I don't think I'll make another spy frag movie anywhere near the future.

Duly noted. At the time I didn't know how to mess with color correction so it's very minimal, but I'll make sure to fuck with it a lot in the future.
I'd also like to note I'm not really looking for praise, I'd much prefer what's wrong with it to be pointed out. Especially regarding syncing, since I slaved over the video until I was sick of the song syncing just about every frag and action to music. And yes, the song had been used previously in the frag video here but I felt it's the one that did it the most justice so I used it anyway.

Real talk bruv it's 2 and a half minutes of backstabs with the odd ambassador headshot, with at least half of them being the same kind of backstab pick on the medic. Quality >>>>>>>>>>>>> Quantity. Editing was A+, though. No ridiculous oversaturation, smooths only when warranted.
Make a separate video for bloopers or have just one really good blooper for the end, going back to quality > quantity.

vanillaSpy frags tend to not be all that entertaining as most of the time it's just someone clicking on someone's back.
But by that logic, sniper frag videos are "just" clicking on people's heads...
I agree with gr8stalin that the bloopers at the end seemed a little longer than necessary. The blooper clips themselves were interesting, but they seemed a bit tacked on and lacked the flow of the rest of the video.
That's the only criticism I had really. Overall, it was pretty good. I quite liked the music and weapon switching sync at 1:30. :)

Well I only really had like 14 demos to work with, all of which was match footage (sans a pregame scrim so both teams were fully rostered). But duly noted.

That's because by the time I edited in the bloopers I was sick of the video and just wanted to push it out. But yeah, next time I'll just leave them out and put them on a separate video.
