The best movie I ever saw was an old snigg recruitment video Verone made. I don't think it had a single fight scene in it, but I don't think anything in eve to date made me laugh so hard as when I first saw it.

I could have ****ed myself it was so funny.


Best fight scene to date: haulers ganking a vaga video.
Prettiest: the Evol 3-d model combat one.

Link to that snigg video?

I think he's talking about this one.

Must be the "Vindication" series.

Those vdeos are absolutely godlike. nothing beats seeing a several billion faction BS almost go down in a battle,(and to get blobed too)

The rawness of pvp just wins the day in those videos. Nothing fancy, just oure slaughter :D

I’ve watched a lot of these now - including mOo's clip on wiki (omg the graphics) – and it’s nothing short of amazing how much effort people put into these.


My thoughts on what makes a good Vid, from somebody who’s never made one.

The small groups and 1v1 pvp comes out better then the fleet battles. Getting close ups of the targets while maintaining a coherent picture of the engagement is the key. Small engagements will always come out better then fleet battles because fraps of ships going down on the overview just isn’t as good as getting close ups. Less lag and more effects in small battles as well.

1.5 to x2 speed seams to work best although it varies.


Soundtrack is as important as the graphics.

So which ones really gave me a buzz -

Lowa's why we do it - the actual fraps is just ok - one of his early efforts - but that mix of 'crystal' gives me goose bumps.

This is Eve (think it’s Loxy) good all round, although more pew pew would be nice.

LocknLoad 1 (classic) – I wanna Vag. The rest of the series is good, but 1 and 2 are my favorite.

Marko’s Red North – one of my favorites, great fraps - soundtrack wasn’t my favorite although ‘slow hands’ seams to have appeared in my Itunes library.

The End – some of the best fraps I’ve seen – soundtrack was ok – break beat gives me flashbacks of a misspent youth.

Vindication – good but ummmm – not much suspense – forgone conclusion for the most part. And 'Reckless' – much better – but I am angry at Farjung right now because I watched it again recently then tried to tackle a Goon Domi and Scorp in a Myrmidon and got spectacularly owned . Good vid though, should come with a health warning.

Evols CGI one is great but too short. I guess BoB owns Industrial Light and Magic as well.

No Other Destiny rocked but its not player made so – I count that in a different category same with Day of Darkness.

So many others but these were the ones that stood out for me.

If any has more suggestions then please post.
