Hi people, as far as I know, this is the first real UT3 frag movie with real frags and well known high skilled players! I have to say, we had different plans with Rypel for this contest, but we couldn't make them real, so I bring you at least this vid.
Well, I thought UT3 was the perfect engine for moviemaking and it indeed has good potential, but there are still basically no tools except the RypelCam and client-side demos ain't working (even getting footage was kind of problem xD). But RCam is luckily the only tool UTer needs to make a movie. The other problem was recording footage, because once again, there wasn't any "dumpframes" tool. But hey, we have Rypel :>, who coded some sort of dumpframes. One needs uberpc in order to record in HD, because it doesn't record at stable FPS. Welll, I don't have such a PC, so you might find this quality a bit worse than you expected, but I did my best and think that it's not that bad .).
Anyway, creation of this movie took like 2 weeks (I made a log of my progress, because I was curious how much time I was gonna spend on it

).
This movie was released in three versions:
- 720p x264 - HQ
- 720p XviD - MQ
- 400p XviD - LQ

Special thanks go to all people who sent demos and helped me with this project in any way .). Oh btw, do not forget to check out #ut3.coverage for the best UT3 coverage, video streams and shoutcasts! That's probably all you need to know, enjoy watching this UT3 movie and thanks for downloading!

===== FAQ =====

Why there are no in-game sounds in this movie?
- Because there are nearly no sounds in server-side demos

Why are weapon models sometimes visible and sometimes hidden?
- Because weapon models were bugged that time I was recording, so I
decided to hide those, which were not displayed properly.

I can't see video in mp4 version, just sound.
- Try to watch it in VLC player (http://videolan.org/vlc).

This movie sux, how can I contact you and tell you?
- I'm always at #ut3.coverage

Why is it short?
- Not enough footage, not enough time, not enough songs. Pick one. xD

Why is there Xan in UT3 movie?
- Xan rox and so does UT1.

I can't think of any other question now, have a nice day .)
