I wanted to get as much of my demos recorded as possible before the new update so that I dont just lose all this great footage.  So I ended up making a frag video!

This time I focused more on the editing of the video, rather than the effects, so no special wipes or crazy transitions or effects, just pure pwnage.

Enjoy!

Footage from a pickup on IRC gather, and a TWL match on Goldrush vs TuN.

Programs used :
TF2,  Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premier

My reactions:

- Ownage as usual. It's kinda unfortunate how many great sniper vids there've been recently; they're all starting to merge together. I can see incredible shots now and just think, "Yeah, I saw that last video too" - that doesn't detract in any way from your skill, it's just that I forget how tough the class is when all I see of it is great vids!

- Yeah, that poor scout on Granary. He was screwed, wasn't he?

- I like the music, I LOVE the intro.

- I like the long takes. Gives me an idea of the flow of the game as a sniper, not just a snapshot of all your best headshots.

Awesome video, Durban! You are a freaking wizard.

the point blank shot on the scout was very nice. Enjoyed it a lot, and liked the focus on less effects.

kudos to you for playing on granary

some decent shots, but that pb scout one was too lucky imo

i couldn't watch the whole thing because my internet is painfully slow, and I stopped about halfway

EDIT: To actually comment, definatly great video. That slowed scout shot was really funny, my actual favorite part was the last shot in goldrush were you had a great streak.

nice video. i've been playing sniper a lot more and it helps to see skilled players. that point blank scout shot was ridiculous though. when you put it in slow motion, you didn't ever scope over his head. anyway, good job.

Well, the scout shot turned out kinda messed up when i went to play it back.  Lag in demos kinda kills those split second shots.

BOC - yeah it was kinda lucky, that the hitbox was lined up with my scope.  But you can't tell in the video that i was actually literally point blank, as i was trying to move forward, and was impeded by his model, so i figured why not just fire.  It was lucky that I got him, but i def had the quick reaction time to get him so it was a bit of luck, and a bit of timing.

Impressive as usual.

LOL at the boxing heavy
