Hey tf.tv, I made my second frag video recently.

I came here last time to ask for feedback (http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/7996-my-first-frag-video-feedback-appreciated/) and ended up using a lot of the suggestions as they were helpful, so any advice/comments would be great.

Was pretty good in terms of frags and pace, next step would be to add colour correction and smooths.

Good job. I agree on the smooths, though color correction isn't necessary. Keep making videos though!

To each his own, I guess. I just find that colour correction gives it more of a cinematic and professional feel, and it makes each frag video seem different from one another.

Just out of curiosity, how much fps was this recorded at? Movement seemed really choppy for me at least.

OK, thanks, I still need to look into smoothing.

60 fps, but unfortunately I don't have a way of recording with any higher fps.

The game looks beautiful with either vanilla colors or improved colors, but changing the overall tone of the colors and what give you just doesn't do it for me anymore. I've learned to really appreciate how amazing this game can look by itself.

People keep posting about how TF2 lighting and colors are perfect and no one should use color correction. You need to use some form of color correction if you want to mimic vanilla colors, during the dubbing/encoding process information is lost and the colors are dulled.

I have to correct what I said earlier. By color correction, I meant the actual color correction tools/presets in SV. Plugins such as HSL adjust, Levels, Brightness and a couple others are good examples of plugins you should be using.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maV9FdV3OP0 those (and possibly one or two others, i can't remember) are what i used on this and i still really love the quality of it.

Hey man, it's the video that I'm most comfortable with using as a visual representation of points I'm trying to get across when the opportunity arises.

Scoffer_dammit skybox
Is it a good thing or bad thing? I had a hard time deciding whether or not to use a skybox but I felt like at some points the gray sky was kind of boring.

This is what I felt like as well after making my first video. Plus, I rendered as wmv (not sure if this is the best) and the colors didn't look so great.
