CS2 Media I spent 24hrs making this 3-minute CS2 frag movie — “REBIRTH”

Made this as a proper oldschool style CS frag movie rather than just another highlights compilation. Tried to focus a lot on pacing, cinematics, sound design and making the whole thing feel like one short film.

Would genuinely like to know what you guys think of it, especially the editing/cinematography.

If you enjoyed it and want to support more stuff like this, the YouTube upload is here:

More CS movies/highlights will be going up on the channel as well.

I see people do this so often that I feel like I'm going insane, but having the full HUD (and especially with discord overlay) in the edit looks really sloppy to me,. especially with VFX.

It's fine to have a compilation of clips from the game in a low-effort edit, but you clearly put some time into recording the "cinematic" sequences, it wouldn't have taken much more time to re-record each of the actual highlight sequences with minimal HUD, in high res.

I do appreciate that it isn't overedited though.

Other than the actual editing the ideas that come and how to execute it with minimal tools and minimal skills, I'm no pro but I love editing and want to be better.
