One Life Left - Lewis Blogs - One Life Left - Coming About

So here it is ladies and gents, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did creating it over the past 3 months. The project has had its ups and downs but is definitely the most important one for me to date. There are a few points to as why it is;

• He's arguably the biggest Call of Duty 4 player in history,
• The support from people, including big names has been more than awesome and I appreciate that in a huge way
• For people to see arguably a massive gaming icon in play

The process of making this has had its stresses and strains on me as funny and odd as it sounds. The pressure of so many people expecting some awesome, epic, amazing, 3D-filled, immense movie being one of them, but also just making it so a large crowd enjoyed it. As a lot of this TEK-9 promod community will know, I'm not the greatest, but I'm not the worst. To read such comments as "omg lewis is making this, it's going to suck" and so on really doesn't motivate one, but the chance to prove them wrong does. I'm not the type of person to get hit and stay down, but one to get up and try my damn hardest to prove someone wrong.

While having a very busy personal life, it obviously makes it difficult to take on such a task but I love a challenge, and that's why I got no doubt about it. The main point I wanted to make with this movie is that it was Stevy's movie and I attempted to make everything the way Stevy wanted it, so I apologize if it wasn't up to par with some of your expectations, and I realize that it wasn't the next Jailbait or Mazadox or whatever. The followers of my work and editing are just a huge motivational tool and amazing force that I'm thankful for, so look forward to more projects in the future, and I'll try to make more fragmovies over the summer when things calm down for me irl.

One Life Left looked at from the inside

In the end, after getting a whole lot of motivation, I decided on two things. If Stevy enjoyed it, and I felt something was right then I went for it. I could have spent months making betas, changing something then trying again. I learned various things whilst making this movie and a massive point being "you can't simply please everyone". You will get the haters who expected a Mazarini-Katha video where everything is perfect and filled with smart-small effects, or people who just simply hated it because it was a more 'unknown editor' creating it. At the end of the day it was Stevy…anyone would watch it and enjoy it.

I tried to get the frags across whilst giving it effect and emotion. A way in helping in a big way was which songs I chose. The soundtrack was also a big gamble as it's an all metal frag part and not to everyone's taste – but then again the quote from earlier comes to mind. I think the soundtrack gives off emotion definitely, being it the intro to get you (hopefully) excited to see the rest, or the song used for the 1v4 clutch on LAN.

With spending endless nights editing and only having 4 hour sleep before a busy day, for you guys to appreciate this is an understatement. The effort I put in has taken its tole on me without a doubt but after all this is the internet and people will speak their mind as the worst consequence of a bad comment is a flame comment in reply.

My favourite part of the movie? It's either the 3rd fragpart where Stevy clutches an important 1v4 (as I love that song), or the outro as I'm sure everyone will feel emotion of the passing of Mrs Verheyen.

To round up, all I can say is thank you to Stevy for this opportunity and sticking by me for a long time, Jeff Kim for ridiculous amounts of help during this task and Mohamed '+pOL' for the help with the intro.


Thank you TEK-9 and enjoy.
