UE4 Project - shNz on bkz_goldbhop

By fykseN mapperrecord holder Tournament #1·
Good evening, XJ!

This time we would like to present something uncommon. Something that was not so wide-spread throughout the community when released.

In previous years, there were ambitious projects using more advanced procedures and moviemaking software.
We all remember IceVip and his breakthrough in this matter, following up with other moviemakers experimenting with C4D usage as well. This time it's kawai, and his new storyline/atmospheric project created using Unreal Engine 4.

There is not a brick (maybe grain of sand in this case) on its place after this re-edition. The movement was affected a lot as well, you can barely expect anything conventional. Using the well known formula of bkz_goldbhop in a case where it is not a cliché certainly turns heads. Just from top of my memory, I remember iNsprate's C4D edit of youtube iconkz_summercliff2 which is very organic and fun to watch (due to his map/run choice). Nevertheless this time it's bkz_goldbhop, like never before:

A few words from kawai himself:

It should be the 4th speed-run movie I created with UE4 workflow, which is inspired by the classic KZ map, namely bkz_goldbhop. The jumper, shNz, is one of my idols in this game-mode. He was away for so long but was finally back these days and brought such amazing demos to us. I made this speed-run movie, just to share my feelings to all the people: shNz is back, and he is always that unique shNz. This movie is not traditional KZ movie, so it's not easy to make everyone happy with it. Thanks for watching and supporting!

masterpiece..

Well I mean, while the content is totally frontpage worthy, why after all these years the same mistake. It takes a little effort to engage people to submit their material for the frontpage premiere. 1. Implement a conspicuous "submit movie" option to the site 2. Make a sidenote or even a special newspost informing that from now on it will take a short amount of time to get your movie posted 3. If for some reason author still posts it on the forum, hide the thread as soon as possible and ask him why he did so (maybe he was simply unaware of the new politics or something). Hopefully my critics are understood properly, I mean due all the mad respect for the stuff and fykseN inclusively (and especially), I hope you see where my point is coming from.

I will probably never be the person behind "XJ premiere", iNsprate decided to leave without notice and I proposed to kawai that his clip can be presented as a newspost. You're admin as well after all, this decision can be presented in discord and used by the future moviemaking news admin.

To be completely honest, I don't like this edit. The movement looks strange, and even gives me a slight headache. Any map atmosphere or cs 1.6 feel was completely erased, and using csgo hands loop didn't really help it. The extreme bevel and bump on the blocks makes them look smaller and makes me feel like a dwarf. And I have lot more negative points to say… But on the other hand, I really love how you designed the table with previous records, weather and all this stuff. It requires some animating skills, and it looks good when you look at it. I definitely want to see more stuff from you, but try to focus on the atmosphere the map offers, and bring it to another level just like you did it on nz_playstation (which is a very good edit I saw plenty of times). Good luck.

welp the nz playstation edit is very much Pog https://youtu.be/nrcGFJvyHgE

22/07/2019 12:01:00

yes, I really like it. It's super smooth, he got the atmosphere of the map, nice animated titles, and the speedmeter and radar are very cool as well.

sick stuff realy nice for the eyes. i love the gold its fuking real!! @blackelf comon bro dont be jealous :D

21/07/2019 23:29:00

I'm still waiting for an adult comment from you, probably not coming ever

22/07/2019 02:03:00

I don't think he is jealous cuz he gave his own opinion, I myself also DO LIKE the movie, i enjoy watching it, it's graphically insane, fits with music, nice animations also, but if blackelf doesn't like that does not mean he is jealous, opinions are different, and that's a good thing, if we'd all think the same, it would be too boring to live, didn't mean to offend anyone, just gave my opinion.

22/07/2019 22:39:00

I understand why he says that about blackelf when he is one moviemaker that constantly tries to modify maps, models, textures and so on, that proposes that blackelf could be "somehow mad about this" ps: this is my opinion on why he said that, nothing more or nothing less.

21/07/2019 21:29:00

woooow

21/07/2019 21:37:00

omg, its so cool!!! GJ GJ GJ

21/07/2019 21:51:00

I hate the CSGO "F" - inspect weapon thing, literally takes up the whole screen. Otherwise gj, I think I saw this on forum (or randomly on youtube?) a few weeks back.

22/07/2019 02:05:00

Nice movie man, enjoyed watching it, i just again say, better try using cs source models or 1.6's , CSGO models makes me feel so out of game, overall, 9/10 only models i don't like, keep up kawai <3

22/07/2019 04:03:00

22/07/2019 08:19:00

24/07/2019 07:25:00

tremendo papu

25/07/2019 21:04:00

Crazy work done! But this damn fence is not the topic!

27/07/2019 10:49:00

just wow.

HOLY SHIT ???? That is one of the best things I've ever seen, period! The atmosphere, the story feeling, the models, the what the hell you used to make most of that. My god what an absolute masterpiece! Sooo much feeling in this! I think all the small details in this go so well together! The gold jumps, the white fence, the ground, the forest/trees, the sky, the USP-S Orion, the colors, the music, the fucking scoreboard! The details in this completely blew me away.. I understand that people might not have got the 1.6 KZ feeling butt I'd say this wasn't created to show off the game CS 1.6. Instead it was a little story of a man, having fun in his gorgeous, heavenly garden! The outro was just the delicious sprinkle on the already divine ice cream. Mmmm, mmmmm, MMMMMMMMM.. TASTY! Thank you ????
