Hey guys I am IfuM, founder of 5ivetwo Movie Making. I would like to write a blog on Cs movie making. Its a short blog but I may write a full blog if people want me to.
How did I start movie making?
I started movie making when I had got my computer back in 2004 when people used to make anime videos. I used to download videos from youtube and then make then using Windows Movie Maker. All of those movie got deleted as I remade my youtube account.
I started CS movie making back in August 2010. I used windows movie maker for my first 3 movies then switched to Song Vegas 9.
Software and other pre-movie making process:
Software is something very important in Cs movie making, I mean to say without the right software you cannot make a good movie.
Software required for Cs movie making:
- Video editor [I use Vegas 9, at present]
- HLAE (Half-Life Advanced Effects)
- VirtualDub

Other things needed:
- A good and fast PC, I went into trauma once when it gave me rendering issues.
- Lots of HDD space, Virtual Dub uncompressed clips used a lot of space.
- Creativity, last but not the least.
Video editor:
Well use anything which you are comfortable with, remember lots of awesome old school Cs movies were made with very old softwares. And according to me all the video editing softwares are just the same, not much difference you just need a little skill to use them.
HLAE:
Important if you want to record sound for Cs clips.

VirtualDub:
HLAE makes images and an audio file which can be made into a video clip by this software.
Tips: Do not use fraps, if you want to make a good cs movie.

Aim of the movie:
Always keep in mind the aim of the Cs movie, whether its a fragmovie or an edit.
Fragmovie usually shows frags of players so the effects should be minimum or none. Edit is something in which the frags matter the least and effects and your creativity matters most.

FPS to be recorded?
Well, I would say that the fps which you choose depends on the movie and the clip. I do not waste time in recording all clips at high fps.
My own fps logic
POV (first person mode) clip:
On your use, if you want slow motion high fps. I usually record high fps for awp shots or deagle shots. I record minimum 60 fps and maximum 300 fps for POV's

Campaths:
I use low fps. They just come and go in the movie. Campaths proves your cameraman skills. Use all angles and remember to zoom in using the mirv tool.

I record minimum 30 fps and maximum 90fps for campaths.
Soundtrack:
The most important and annoying part, because youtube gives a lot of problems on copyright songs. Also your sound track should go with the song, if you want a sync movie dubstep would be the best.
