What do you like in frag movies

Basically what the title says, what do you like in frag movies? Since I have attempted to edit before I am curious as to what different people like.

Some movies are incredibly well edited which makes them good and some movies just have ridiculous frags.

Personally I really like it when a frag is showing and you can hear the shout-casters voice in the background going nuts

visuals, screen shakes, love the effects 3:30.

Basically this and all of kaypologist videos can sum up what i mean.

I really like damage numbers and really well synced music. I really don't like shoutcasters, because I can see whats happening since it's being spotlighted in the frag video.

^I personally love the ocassional clip that includes the live commentary, assuming its a huge play that really gets the casters excited

and I don't want damage numbers in frag vids :3

I like intersting camera angles,like the camera follows the rocket that hits an airshot or showing one clip from different perspectives :)

Slowmo should be used EXTREMELY selectively. Part of what I like about TF2 is the pacing and if I watch a video that's super slow I get bored/frustrated. It's nice for demonstrating the exact mechanics of a very specific bit, or as a way to reiterate/emphasize a particularly nice frag, but when it's used more than just as an accent, I pretty much immediately stop watching.

i like to be able to SEE the frags without the camera moving all over the place or shaking. good music and editing goes a long way in making a good frag video.

frag/class variety

a frag vid with nothing but 1 class is super boring imo (no offense to anyone)

ill just say shit i dont like

overused songs
smoothing/slowmoing everything
flares/dust/stupid shit on the lens
shaky camera just because you were too dumb to make anything else happening
oversyncing everything
"asdofuashdfouh productions"
third person pans of snipers/soldiers/demos before they headshot/airshot somebody
stv hitscan
no crosshair
clips against braindead players/pugs presented in a serious manner

honestly the only clip that i can think of that does any of these well is the one kingpin mad for lan ets

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-TNQQI0zxU

every other video thats 20 seconds of frags and 90 of filler/smooths/clouds/looking through whatever fence you can find on the map sucks

it's not about how much work you put on it, it's about if it's fun to watch again and again

- frags synched to the music
- bits with live commentary
- good music ( I must say that in general our scene has an amazing taste and I have discovered dozens of artists through fragmovies and Im proud I can say that)
- momentum build up with the song, like slow frags for certain parts and then start increasing the pace and up to an halt again, so its basically frags having a rhythm to it.
-medic play, I have a special soft spot for huge medic plays, particularly with live commentary
-focus on scout headshots with slowmo and zoom, seriously hearing a scout getting headshot it the most amazing thing ever, and the whole pose of the model is really amazing
