SWL | Beware of Sharks by Falk

Description: Beware of Sharks is a Team Movie featuring Sharks With Lasers pitted against various Malaysian and Asian CoD4 Promod teams. It includes frag clips from various local LAN events all the way up to the recent 2nd season of the online, community-run Asian Call of Duty 4 Championship (ACC2) in which 46 teams from all across the continent participated in.

This is my first serious movie project and I had to learn Premiere (not touching it again oh God), and After Effects while making up stuff on the fly. In my childish obstinacy I also insisted on using my own movie cfg built from the ground up so I'm sorry♥ for things which I realized later but had no time to fix like not disabling crosshair, enemy player names, and "Press A to autoclimb" (don't ask)

Inspiration for the style of the movie came from, among other things, Max Payne, DJMAX, 16-bit console emulation, and a bet that I could use only Impact in an entire 6+ minute movie and get away with it. (The comic book font doesn't count!)

A short clip of footage from Werner Mehl's 1 million FPS bullet impact montage was used, all credit for it goes to Werner Mehl.

p.s. As much as I ♥ Youtube, their 'HD' format limits to 30fps, and this movie's footage and editing/comics were prepared with a 50fps output in mind. For best quality use one of the download links above. (Tek-9 requires registration to see download link)
