Fragmovie Max Chapter 3

Beschreibung:

Not long after the release of -Max-'s previous movie one4one Decimated in August 2006, -Max- and mAx began discussing fragmovies. Originally not interested in a single player fragmovie, the two found that they shared many ideas. With -Max-'s previous movie stretching over 22 and a half minutes, including a storyline, it was time to explore something vastly different. With a player of mAx's skill and the possibility of a much shorter, fast-paced fragmovie, the offer was too great to turn down and the project then evolved into mAx Chapter 3.

Work began on a soundtrack in the closing months of 2006, one track of which would reflect some of the style of the previous movies, with mAx's love for hip-hop. When editing began around February, one ambition of -Max-'s was to bridge the gap between the content-orientated movies and editing-orientated movies.

Since the frags were to remain important, it was decided to include in-game sounds, to give a better representation of the quality of the frags themselves, and to add some extra tension. However, with the level of editing that was required being so high, this was not possible. So instead -Max- has spent a lot of time adding sounds manually from the pak0.pk3 file. While a much more efficient solution, it required the sacrifices of several elements of what would be present otherwise. For example, the sound of opponents shooting back would simply be impossible to do to a high standard, though we've tried to make its absence as unnoticeable as possible.

With the inclusion of multiple streams, the gamesounds are optional - not included in the second stream.
