WCG SWE The movie ***

[subject_wcg]During the qualifications at World Cyber Games 2003 in Sweden, GosuGamers Crew promised to release a movie from the event. We recorded enthusiastically with a hand camera and recorded first person VODs from every computer and every game played. However, the computers the files were recorded on were formatted later that night, since it belonged to a Swedish IT-Café who needed their computers working the upcoming day. Therefore, all the first person VODs were lost. But, since we had a live coverage running at the site, we uploaded the replays as soon as we got them. Therefore I had to replan the movie, meaning replays instead of VODs. This makes the movie a bit shorter and sure, not as good, but still really interesting in my own opinion.

I started the work with the movie immediately after the event was done, however, my video making skills were equal to 0. I talked to lots of people interested in the bw community but there was no-one good available. I even talked to some of the best movie makers in the Counter-Strike community but most of them declined due to lack of interest. So, first of all learning the program itself, learning how to use codecs, compressions, importing, editing, effects, text modifications etc etc, this is the reason for this late publishing of the movie. I still do believe that the result were far better than I did expect in the beginning but as I looked through the 30 mins long movie I saw some stuff that still could be better. But as the WCG 2003 already started I wanted to publish the movie before it got even later, and the fact that rendering (after changing a little thing in the movie) takes about 5 hours makes me sick even thinking of rendering it again. But hey, it's still a great movie, only some black breaks for like 10 seconds between some scenes :)!

Yeah well, enough self-criticism, let go on with the movie. The movie is 30 mins long and 179 Megabytes big. You do need » WinRar and » DivX 5.1 Bundle Codec in order to see the movie with best preferences.



Update 1 * Since the movie did boost our traffic from the server to maximum, we must now close the download. We are working on an FTP solution and will publish it as soon as possible, we'll get back with more information soon, hopefull! Have patience! Thanks!

Update 2 ** First mirror available:
http://212.214.135.219/wcg-sweden-bw-2003.rar

Update 3 *** If the update above isn't working, try the Direct Connect hub. 212.214.135.219:1090. The file is named 'wcg-sweden-bw-2003.rar'. Please stay on the hub and share the file for more people joining it and we will solve the server situation.

Update 4 **** Okay, due to the size of this file, it's almost impossible to upload it at a normal webbserver because it's bandwidth will get over run. However, the swedish site fegis.nu promised to upload the file as soon as they got their servers back and working, which can take some more time. Until then, the direct connect hub is working, just search for the file 'wcg-sweden-bw-2003.rar', at the 212.214.135.219:1090 hub!
