My TF2 Music Video

[Animontius]

Hey guys, just wanted to share my work with others who love TF2 as much as I do. Took me a couple of months to put it all together because I did it in bits and pieces when I had time between work, school and, well, playing the game. If you like it, please click the link and rate it. Also there is a high quality option if you click through. If you don't enjoy it, I guess you could go ahead and rate it too, but wouldn't that just be a waste of your time at that point? lol. Anyway, I hope you guys appreciate it.

It's certainly better so far than some of the previous incarnations of "videos" we've seen. I'm curious as to whether it's worth my full 4 minutes of attention.

Edit: It wasn't all bad, but then it did just seem like a load of collated videos with music in the background. I was half expecting it to continue in time with the music all the way through. Alternatively it would have been more interesting to see 4 minutes of some really impressive gameplay. It's always fun watching people like The Brick mow through people in Counter Strike, but it's rare that you see particularly captivating play in TF2.

I like how you only ask the people that like it to rate it.

Not bad, but, like Druckles said, there's nothing in there that's... Amazing. No one really wants to see a video of you dying, they want to see some amazing kills or occurrences. Which can be a problem - in CS:S, impressive moments are always noticeable - multiple kills with one shot, ridiculous strings of headshots or whatever, but in TF2 they always require context.
A video of you blowing up a sentry gun isn't that spectacular, but for the players of the game who've been killed by it for ten minutes and only destroy it after a perfectly orchestrated sap/uber/what-have-you effort, it's much more rewarding.

Yeah, I can see what you guys are saying. When I showed the video to friends I did tell them about the situation in some of those clips. My real purpose with the video, and I guess I should have prefaced my post with it, was to highlight the apparent chaos of the game, rather than displaying really great gameplay. I did time much of it to the music, sniper shots, explosions, backstabs, the rocket jump, etc. not all of the clips are timed. Also, and it must have been psychological, but for some reason I found that I was unable to get the best of my gameplay while the demo was rolling. But Druckles, I would say 4 minutes is a bare minimum, it might take 2 or 3 viewings to fully appreciate the video . Anyway, thanks for the comments.
