Capture of the week ~ revived & continued!
« on: December 11, 2006, 09:02:50 am »
Back a year or so ago, there was a very nice project running on www.selfkill.com . It was called "Cap of the week" - a bunch of people would send demos of their great caps, and Nukem, the guy who ran the project would make a short movie out of it.

Soldat news are reviving this project, as you may have read sneaky's ad before - and here is the first one! Two minutes of action, featuring caps from 6 players.

Yes, in a public. But these players would easily dominate any public server there is, so it's much harder to do that stuff.

we can only make it as good as the demos people send in, so if you think you can do better then feel free :)

all demos can be emailed to sneakyhunter@msn.com

yes.. they were all done in gathers or during clanwars, which most of you probably haven't even heard of let alone played in any.. (proper cws not some crap msn arranged things)

edit: and if any of you guys are in irc and do a nice cap during a cw or gather, then remember to send those demos in!!

I definanlty don't want to load demos, it better be in movie form...
ok... change the music for each demo, the same stuff can get boring/annoying and people will begin to lose interest, also, that was only 2 min long and 50 freakin MB, any compressor will to better then that load of crap.

I guess this deserves a second chance, since the first one wasn't advertised. *downloads*

I hope you gave each player different music.
Oh, no you didn't give each player different music, no you didn't make it easier to identify when the next person's cap is, thanks a lot.

Also, If I am going to download this each week, I would expect better quality and much lower size.

I would like more knife,saws, and autos next time. But this one was pretty good too it needed more Spas and less M79.

Oh you have? Send the demos to the next cotw then and we'll see if it gets played. Footage from publics probably wont be published.

I like Outcast's the most.

By the way, anyone can get awesome caps on pubs. You are underestimating the players you see in these videos.

A bit longer than 3 minutes short movie, with 4 players. Different song per player would mean.. what, 30 seconds of a song? That's just stupid. If each player had a 2 minute scene, than it would make sense ¬_¬

Better quality and download size? I used the best possible encoding. Want smaller filesize, it goes in charge for quality. Feel free to give give me a better encoder.

Sucky footage? Oh that's understandable. You can do better, ofcourse, these guys are total noobs. So why haven't I seen your footage amongst stuff that was sent in? Oh, because you didn't send in anything. Instead of running your mouth, maybe back your words up?
