ROTW #70 - Gene on risk_snowcastle

By Ovidiu Dumitru·
Hello there, and welcome to the 70th edition of the Run Of The Week!

A new star is born.

Tournament #5: Do you dare risk it all? showed its potential from the first round. A new WR has been set by a player from this tournament, on a map which was on the pool for the group stage, risk_snowcastle.

Gene amazed us all during the first round of Tournament #5, showing some remarkable skills, obtaining two flawless victories, ultimately winning his group with ease and coming second after KeltA, as the best player of the Tournament #5 group stage.

However, this is not the first time Gene is in the spotlight. He surprised us all when he took the WR on kz_kzlt_dementia[+tranquillity], a WR previously held by koukouz. And now, as you can see in the latest release, he got himself a new WR, claiming it again from another powerhouse kreedzer.
All this points to a great career as a successful WR holder.
You can download his demo from the #585th demo release.

Making his first appearance on the frontpage, the filmmaker of this edition is SeedDownFTW. His recommendation to host a ROTW edition comes from clips like Rethorical and Sync. So as you can see he isn't really new to the editing field.
With this ROTW edit he proves once again he has what it takes to make it as a front filmmaker in the scene.

23/09/2011 12:44:00

For some reason, i'm not able to see this ROTW in HD at own3d.tv

23/09/2011 13:09:00

I don't see what this ROTW has so special and what the moviemaker has for being a "front moviemaker".. I can't tell anything about the moviemaker on such a clip with basically no edit at all except one glow explosion.. There isn't even brightness and contrast correction.. the fuk. ROTWs sucks nowadays.

23/09/2011 13:14:00

gz gene great run! about the edit i agree with maximalz :

23/09/2011 13:19:00

Bravooo Gene <3

23/09/2011 13:32:00

@maximaLz: 1. ROTW is about the run, not the edit. I asked CyclopP if I can edit the run and it turns out the only thing that can be edited in a ROTW is the intro, the outro and partly the colors. Nothing about ROTWs has changed. 2. Watch the demo. The colors on the map are way darker, so I fixed them just a little. "There isn't even brightness and contrast correction.. the fuk. " yeah, like you can tell... And I could have made another movie track, make the run gray and put cookie'cutter; circle, fade it and put it to the ends. Happy colors... guess not.That ain't a thing I don't know how to do, but was a thing I couldn't do. I had problems rending the clip even with such low quality. @audior which is probably the reason why you can't watch it in HD

23/09/2011 13:33:00

Very nice run Gene! Seen this already on YT but still watched it again. I really dont like the song. This beat is making me wanna cut off my ears D:

23/09/2011 14:01:00

Like I previously said in chatbox this ROTW has probably the best song of all ROTWS ("probably", because I can't remember all 69 others). Good run Gene, gj! Maximals, just like SeedDownFTW said, the ROTW is about the run, basically Seed did what ultimately he was asked to do for a ROTW, add a song, get atmosphere going and fix possible darkness. I never want to see you do a ROTW, just because I get the feeling you'll add all kind of glowing shit to confuse and to annoy people. I'm confident that Seed and many other people you douche like to bash on can do all those flashy glowy shit but he was smart enough NOT TO ADD THEM because they infact SUCK. Good bye to you.

23/09/2011 14:30:00

very good run and a nice fitting song, gj on that

23/09/2011 15:27:00

good job ebat' :D

23/09/2011 15:33:00

@SeedDownFTW There's always much where you can improve at color correction. Dark map is not a reason to have bad colors, skillful color corrector can manage to handle it well. I didn't like the song either. gj for the run

23/09/2011 15:58:00

Cool. Not my favourite ROTW but still enjoyable to watch. Especially the run was so damn good. Gene, I'm amazed! :D

23/09/2011 16:01:00

gj bro (:

23/09/2011 16:38:00

gj both

23/09/2011 17:37:00

sad

23/09/2011 18:05:00

headache song.

23/09/2011 18:31:00

headache song indeed.

23/09/2011 19:14:00

I liked the rotw despite all the complaints. I think the song fits in there quite nicely even though I dont really listen to that kind of music

23/09/2011 20:12:00

zaebis':D

23/09/2011 22:51:00

epic run, epic movie! SeedDownFTW <3 (namesakes ftw xD) btw, isn't Gene Italian?

23/09/2011 22:52:00

@Seed that's not aimed at you directly, but ROTWs are like weak.. I mean they are cool indeed, but I don't see the point to make such a thing if it's all about the run. If moviemakers can't be free more, then why making a movie out of it ? Just make ppl download demo next time and tell them to listen to a song instead. I'm not trying to deny XJ's work, but this is worthless. It eats people's time out for worthless things. I don't know your movie making skills, but saying in a XJ post (careful, i'm not insulting you) that THIS deserves to make you a star is just stupid and all about filling a post up with randoms says. Once again, I don't judge badly your work since you just told me you were LIMITED in the proportion of it. I'm just saying that this very movie can't make people decide if you're gonna be a great movie maker or not.

23/09/2011 23:18:00

@maximaLz, This clip doesn't make me a star, and is not ment as one :D As you can see, " His recommendation to host a ROTW edition" means that I was the one who wanted to edit a ROTW. And this does not make me any more famous, or so I can speak, since my subscribers aren't growing :D (Just sayin') And about the clip: You must admit that downloading the demo, (not to mention, that if you don't have the map, you must download it too) and putting a song as a background, while watching the demo is pretty... I won't describe it. Isn't watching an already done clip much better? Cuz the idea is to provide the run, not just the run - the best run; the Run Of The Week. Cuz at least I wouldn't watch every single new run ;)

24/09/2011 03:09:00

pretty bad run for an untouched map like snowcastle is, the rec is missing a lot of stuff.

24/09/2011 05:07:00

gd run!

24/09/2011 13:38:00

@akkord was it your's the previous record cuz in the description it says it was kkz's ?

24/09/2011 15:32:00

learn to read sitdown

24/09/2011 22:05:00

@akkord ??

24/09/2011 22:06:00

ups, nvm :D

already got rebeaten :(

25/09/2011 13:17:00

Dosen't make it a bad run gargoyle :-)

25/09/2011 14:14:00

@ jusuuh There's always much where you can improve at color correction. Dark map is not a reason to have bad colors, skillful color corrector can manage to handle it well. I didn't like the song either. Probably you might have noticed that Seed is not a famous movie maker.You were right when u pointed his mistakes,but u could make in a ... sort of creative way not like that "omg dude u are hopeless, a skilled color corrector would...the music sux..." Anyway, GJ Gene gj SeedDown.

25/09/2011 21:07:00

@s0nne What does famous mean in editing skills? I didn't meant to pull him down, also we have conversation in pms. He did basicly good job, just pointed out some things as reply to his previous messages. Sad that his computer can't handle much :-/

26/09/2011 01:10:00

FAKE BLOOD <3

26/09/2011 13:20:00

@s0nne thanks. What jusuuh said is true =] Besides, I'll have the problems fixed by a week ^^

26/09/2011 17:53:00

might be the the most average kz based style i´ve ever seen, didnt like it @ by kelta? =DDDDDDDDDD sex
