How to Win Crossfire Film Contest 2011

Note: This will not guarantee you a win, but it will raise your chances by about 40%, the other 60% are hard work & creativity.

1.) Dont use spop/star, makes you look bad.
2.) Use Search and Destroy Matches. 3kills and above.
3.) While using male characters, use professional weapons. Like:Regular m4,Regular ak.
4.) Dont use m12s,scar and other easy weapons.
5.) Sync your video (not as easy at it looks).
6.) Have a Intro,Body and Outro.
7.) Try and use in gameplay, but if its out of the question use a replay.
8.) Use CSS sounds, sounds cool!
9.) Make sure your video gets straight to the point, dont lolligag and take forever to get a kill.
10.) Please upload to the best quality possible. Use Sony Vegas.


This is only a fraction to what you need to do, designs 3-d images etc etc are good to and good music. Please this is just a beginner guideline to movie makers don't blame me if you lose but this will help you.

    Uhm Lawl? ahaaha
  • Search and Destroy isnt REALLY a requirement IMO because you can get better frags in TDM
    and CSS sounds aren't THAT nescessary
    everything else i agree with
    i just have to learn how to sync :p

    syncing is easy. just add the song into vegas, play it and on every beat, press the 'm' key. after you're done, just split the clip in parts where the shots happened, and drag one part of the clip holding 'ctrl' to the nearest sync mark. take the other end, hold 'ctrl' and drag it to the sync mark.
  • Very handy :)

    didn't know 'outro' was a word o.o
  • 3ks are hardly acceptable anymore unless they're special.

  • If you want to win a CFFA then I suggest following the 3 most important rules.
    Use the text "Cross Fire Film Awards 2011" in a credit sequence.

    Have your exact IGN in the credit sequence.

    Have your video between 2 and 6 minutes in length.
    We've received a LOT of videos, more than we can count atm. But we're in the process of DQ'ing a ton of them because they haven't even followed the above 3 basic rules.

    The above 3 rules are made to force you to upload a new video for this contest! We'd all be surprised how simple these rules are, and how easily they are forgotten.

    Do you at least let these people know if they were disqualified or is it their responsibility.

    yes, a few thousand handwritten letters - they come with an autograph by mr GM Saidin himself plus a 5000ZP voucher-code - will be sent to all the people who weren t able to follow three simple rules.
  • 1.) Dont use spop/star, makes you look bad. (Yup, SWAT/SAS/OMOH for me

    2.) Use Search and Destroy Matches. 3kills and above.(I keep 1ks and 2ks only if they are collaterals, all modes for me btw))

    3.) While using male characters, use professional weapons. Like:Regular m4,Regular ak. (Mmm M4A1s and Ak-47s)

    4.) Dont use m12s,scar and other easy weapons.(None of these in my storage)

    5.) Sync your video (not as easy at it looks). (When the beat of the song gets louder, sync a frag, when it gets a bit more quiet, slowdown)

    6.) Have a Intro,Body and Outro. (Still making the body, Intro/Ontro will be done seprately)

    7.) Try and use in gameplay, but if its out of the question use a replay.(Using both, replays are used only to show people flying away)

    8.) Use CSS sounds, sounds cool!(huh no 0.o)

    9.) Make sure your video gets straight to the point, dont lolligag and take forever to get a kill. (Fast-Paced ftw)

    10.) Please upload to the best quality possible. Use Sony Vegas. (720 is standard for me, but ill make it 1080 for this one)
  • Nice and basic. If anybody wants more detailed stuff, check out this link

  • Thanks! Helps alot even though Im not making one;(
  • REMEMBER sync gun sounds with the music.
    I saw one guy who though that syncing is puting music on the video.

    S&D matches only? wrong why?

    Everybody has that.. if you wanna stand out!

    Use different modes together and mix it that will make it more interesting for everybody!
    And get you higher


    For the rest everything is alright!
  • 1.) Wrong point. Just because he uses SPOP, that doesn't make him instantly bad, if he does 5k all qs or 5k deagle shots, he won't be noob just because he's using a SPOP.
    2.) True, but only for the killer category ;) you can have a good creativity and amazing editing skills while using terrible frags.
    3.) Also wrong. Even if they use a Golden deagle and get a 5k headshots, it's all good, he would pwn you anyways with his regular deagle.
    4.) True, not 100% tho.
    5.) Actually it's the easiest thing.
    6.) Common sense.
    7.) Both ways work, that's why we have got those two categories.
    8.) Either if they use CSS or CF sounds, I'll judge them by the same way, I won't give + or - points because of a soundgun.
    9.) True
    10.) True, but not 100%. You can have a really good quality using other editing programs.

    This guide is not approved. Most of the points are senseless.

    More like

    1. Do use whatever char, preferably STAR or SPOP
    2. Use whatever weapon you please, but preferably ZP weapons
    3. Put a shitload of flashy, unnecessary effect in your vid
    4. Put in a ton of TDM multikills
    5. Make sure there is either 'pro', 'extreme' or 'best' and a ton of special characters in your name
    6. Use a song that's not original at all. preferably horrible rap, overused metal songs or an overused techno song.

    Seriously, keep in mind what kind of people will vote, it's freakin' crossfire.

  • No, I'm right.

    There is a set of judges. It will not be decided by a poll of the general public.

    Since I think you already understand the rules, you're just trying to be funny. Ahaha. Haha. Ha.
  • less is more ... try to stay at one concept. military looks *..*
  • lol i use star in my vid its the same as the outher models no matter what you say ^^
    doing it with td and columbia
    useing the best weapon in the game
    i hate flashy effects, afterall its the kills you want to watch, altho some people have nice edeting skills but thats not realy to me, what a kill video is about.
    i use normal sounds,..
    i have a song i like for the music i dont care of outher people like it or not ^^
    so far i have completed 3:45 of my video it currently contains 54 kills i have 3 small parts to do then finnished.
    i agree with the upload quality ^^ i record at 90 fps each 1:20 is over 3gb once the vid is made and compiled in hopefully high def (at the least it will look good youtube size maybe not full screen)
    its fun anyways ^^
