I don't know, "weird camera angles" would not be really attractive.

Anyway, that's my first movie, and I just focus on jump_adventure map. But I guess for people who doesn't know jump, that's more attractive a name like "Ghost" then "jump_adventure".

I'm probably wrong, but I prefer it like this


I guess you don't really like the movie, and I think I know why ^^ I'll try yo improve and to make better jumps AND better videos !

Jump Videos / [NEW] Ghost - A TF2 Movie

Hi all !

I've just uploaded my first jump video, and I wanted to know what you think about it
Careful, for people who are expecting WONDERFUL jumps, don't watch the video you'll be deceived.

I'm just a jump beginner, so I'm not able to do really difficult jumps. I just focused on the movie making, I tried not to take only first person view but play with cameras etc.

So have a look at it, and just advice me what should I do for another movie

[TF2] Ghost - A TF2 Movie

Have a nice day !

That's AWESOME I never knew TF2 could do that !
I have to try ASAP.

Anyway last question about this : in the dellort's movies for example, I never saw the number of munitions, or life, or any information displayed (I guess that's better), is it because of a script, of the demo, or any command ?

Your answer is really clear and complete, thanks a lot for that.

However, this seems pretty great, but I guess it will need at least 2 players, because you can't play and record as spectator at the same time, right ? Maybe should I record first view like this, and use another solution for cameras (for example on SMM you can use cameras after have played). Anyway tell me if I'm wrong :/
I guess this type of recording seems perfect for movies, so maybe I'll should ask a friend to help me

Thanks again for everything, and enjoy your day.


EDIT : I supposed I'm wrong, because that's a local server, so another guy can't join the map.

Hi, and thanks for quick answer.

I have several questions about what you told me :
- what are POV and STV ? Movie format ?
- the files wil be saved in tf folder, that's what you said ?
- what difference between recording with this tool and using Fraps ? What about cameras, is that first person view ?

Anyway thanks for your answer, I'll try it when I'll be home

Hi everybody !


I guess I'm new in TF2 Jump community, so I'll first introduce myself.

I'm Weap0wned, a young French TF2 player and also a jump addict. I've discovered this website while watching at all  Dellort's awesome movies on YouTube. I decided to sign in because on this forum people seems to be nice even with beginners.
I jump only with soldier, I guess when I'll improve my skills I'll start demo. I'm not really good at jumping, I finished jump_aventure but that's all. I'm not really confident with wallpogo, speedpogo and synchronizing rockets.
Finally, I'm a movie maker (not expert movies), I'm using Adobe Premiere CS6.
Here is my first movie, as a Sniper :

[TF2] Headshot - A TF2 Sniper Movie

I'm also going to create my own website with all my creations.

That's it for the boring part (sorry about that), let's talk about something more interesting.


I'm going to realize a new TF2 movie called "Ghost" (?), this will be my first jump movie. During this video, I'll go through all the jump_aventure map as a soldier. My problem is : what softwares/tools should I use to take scenes ? I need to have first person view, third person view and also other cameras. Here are my different ideas :

Fraps : really powerfull software, the one I used for my precedent movie, but only for first (and also third) person view (I have to record all by my own, at the same time I play). I guess it's the perfect one for first person view.

Source Movie Maker : also awesome tool (thanks Valve), even if you don't use animations. I thought it can be useful for camera views, but I didn't use it often before.

Replay : I never use it. I don't even know how it works, so if you're using it, tell me if it will help me

Others : I saw on a random post this message :

You can record both types of demos at the same time. Start up a server, type "tv_enable 1". Reload the map, then type "tv_record jump" and "record jump". Leave at least 500 ticks before and after the jump, once you've recorded it type "stop" and "tv_stoprecord".

I don't know what he was talking about, and I cannot check this because I'm in Canada so I don't have access to my computer (this message was posted with an iTouch).


I guess that's all I'm thinking about, thanks for your help and have a nice day
