We've already had several people in this thread say they won't help, and I'd be surprised if those that said they would help would look for any frags other than their own.
In 2k3, Beat spent hours scouring through demos and finding cool things that no one even reported. Who do we have here that is willing to do something like that? Not many, if any at all, I would bet. As I recall, the TWD vs. Scumgrief shot was found solely by Beat (it may have been mentioned but never technically "reported" with a time stamp) and wouldn't be in the movie otherwise. Yet it's one of the funniest things to behold in the whole video. Same goes for the Ren vs. Webby TL battle. These things have to be scoured for, you don't just watch a demo where you remember yourself doing something cool and accidentally run across them.
I'm sure if Ren, Webby, Scumgrief, and TWD knew demos were being recorded for a vid, they could have got the demos and found those incidents in minutes. It only takes scouring if you don't know it's there.
When people say they won't help, it could be because they assume it means scouring through hours of demos. I think everyone who wants a vid may at least look for their own frags, and if everyone looks for their own frags, you have everyone's frags.
Naturally, it only works if enough people care about having a good vid. Maybe if you made it sound like less of a pain in the ass in the original post, more people would have said they would help.
However, while I still think
that part could be done as I suggest, despite all the whiny, selfish jerks who frequent FragBU (as Han points out
) -- there's still a problem. All of the people who seem able to do the final and hardest task of actually going through the demos and making the vid don't play much if any FragBU, and they're not going to put all that work into something they have little interest in. So I don't have high hopes for the video actually getting made.
