A Lustrum of Quake Speedruns
This is a little tribute video to Quake Speedrunning in the last 5 years, the successor to • Quake Speedrunning 2019 . After that already crazy year 2019 it is incredible to think back to everything that has happened since then. There was no way to do justice to everything in a short video, so naturally this is just a tribute. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of that journey, onto the next years!
I decided to go for the somewhat different style from the 2019 video again - without game sounds and with heavy motion blur. This time I wanted to fully go for a cinematic look though. After already having made • Quake done double Quickest lite - Teaser with Matt's Blender addon I pictured that looking quite cool with very dark moody lighting and ultrawide aspect ratio. When this song by The Moth Gatherer came to my mind I figured it should be a great fit.
