NiP's DHW movie "DREAM" released

16-2-2014 18:03

NiP's Kevin "tweeday" Tweedale has released his long awaited movie about the Swedish team's DreamHack Winter journey, titled "DREAM".

After two and a half months of work NiP's film producer Kevin "tweeday" Tweedale has completed his almost 22 minutes long movie titled "DREAM" which follows the team throughout their DreamHack Winter adventures.

The story begins at NiP's bootcamp in the days before the tournament, and it includes recorded interviews with all the players, comments from various attendees in Sweden and of course all the best frag actions from the Swedish team.

Tweedale himself elaborated on the big project in a blog which you can check out on NiP's new website.

AWESOME

Why skip finals ??

2014-02-16 19:57

What a great movie and a wonderful production og editing. You can feel the emotion from the players and the crowd. I know it wasn't your goal to show the defeat at the end, but I think the movie leads to this with all the emotions shown and I got a bit disappointed not to see the "real" ending, if you can call it that. The only thing that really annoyed me was the moire effect from Friberg's shirt in the beginning :P... So that probably saids how great a movie I think it was :)

If you would have read his blog post, he states he didn't want to completly destry what they had built up that far in the tournament. Because lets be real, the Grand final was a faceroll by fnatic. The way he edited the final sequence is how I was positive he was going to do it. Highlighting the good things they did and outlining their almost heroic performance with fitting casting and editing. To have a 20min build to and then to just tare it down in a matter of seconds would have been devestating for the movie imo. The outro sequence was very well done.

true, but second place is not so bad after all, dont you think? movie is about dreamhack in complete, not to the semi-finals and over. i see that he wants to put all the greatest moments of the tournament, but if it's movie about nip at dhw, let it be all the way. i'm a huge nip fan, but if they are second place, let it be...it is how it is. edit was great, no doubt about that

If I put myself in NiPs and in everyother comptetitors mindset, sendcond place is a failure. You should always strive to be the best! Sure, 50k is a great prize, but no money can replace the feeling of being the champions, number one. They even said that before the tournament, not giving a f about the money, its a about the glory that comes with being the very best!

2014-02-16 20:05

you dont seem to understand. the nip players themselves emphasise at the start how they are a team made to WIN. how DHW is their ultimate goal. if the movie showed their crushing defeat at the end instead of ending on a positive note it just wouldn't be right.

2014-02-17 01:38

1 reply

i undestand it very well man, but you seem to look at it differently. you say that like they have to kill themselves because they didnt win, or never play again because of that, etc. what leads to this, "dont show the real end of the movie"... we are people, we fail from time to time. i dont know you personaly, but there is sure some thing that you prepared your self for, something that matters to you, and you failed...so what, stand up...let's try again, or try something else, it's not the end of the world. dont misunderstand this, NiP is my favorite team out there, but not being first is just who we are, humans...we are not programmed to be first, it ended like this, let it be.

2014-02-17 11:50

It's not a true movie then. It's supposed to be about what really happened, but it doesn't say what really happened. And furthermore, why include the friberg footage against fnatic then? Completely disrespectful if you ask me.

2014-02-16 20:16

5 replies

Disrespectful? Towards who/what? Tweeday even wrote himself that the end was more of an build up towards Katowice than a "true end", because the reaility was very disapointing for NiP as a team. Besides, let's be real fnatic vs NiP wasn't exactly the most hyped up game which I also think it makes sense to focus on other parts regardless if it's the grand final or not. The VeryGames match was surely the most hyped up game, and it showed.

dude, $250.000 tournament is "more of an build up towards Katowice". hahaha tweeday is like super-hyper-ultra billionaire, who doesnt care about the money, wich he isn't or he made an epic fail saying that. idk in what world you guys live...so we should all sit down and cry 'couse nip won $50.000. you defend tweeday in every aspect, wake up man. he's getting paid from nip, me and you are not. period

2014-02-17 11:46

the only disrespectful thing would be to show the crushing defeat at the final after NIP's dream was to win that event. showing their loss would be a constant reminder that they ultimately failed to do what they were made to do. i would rather the movie remained positive and so would they

2014-02-16 18:37

It doesn't come as a suprise. Tweeday manages to create a sick movie, not only for the players, but for the entire scene; gamers as non-gamers. Tweeday and MsTsN should get an award for their hard work.

2014-02-16 18:43

Its an amazing movie and very well put together. The only thing is he mentions its not about falling but about standing up or something in this context. Show us how they fall (win 2nd place, which is still amazing) and you can create a sequal how they are going to stand up again (win the EMS in Poland for example). This is kinda weird, we all know what happened. But this way it looks like its being denied that it infact happened. Going down is part of climbing back on top again, no reason to hide it. Thats the only critic, because the editing is been done to perfection.

2014-02-16 18:44

Would've been better if the final was in there, is it mentioned at all that they only got 2nd? Wasn't really looking the last minutes so if it's not mentioned it looks like they got first?!?!??! other than that a good video

2014-02-17 08:55

I enjoyed it very much... until I hear the narrative at the end, which made me think that the videomaker deny the fact that they're losing at the end by mentioning things like "winning happened multiple times" "consistency" etc. It feels forced somehow at the end, despite of them losing to fnatic. However its a good work and I still love NiP. It just I thought it could be better at the end, Just my 2 cents.

Sadly I agree with this. It felt unfinished when it just ended. I just thought he picked a weird place to give credits at first and then I just thought "really? This was the end?". Other than that it was very good.

Exactly! i mean, everyone already knows that Fnatic won, so why try to take distance from that fact. This movie gives the impression that NiP actually won, which is a horrible message to send and disrespectful to Fnatic

2014-02-17 10:08

very sad that they haven't got 1st d2 in a grand final

Youre best work so far. However, I am going to write some constructive feedback! - Get some lenses that work better in lower light. - The narration at the end was pretty cringe/unneeded. Other than that, loved it, fantastic work.

It was a movie ment for NiP, It's NiP's OWN movie, not fnatics, its not "Fanboy/propaganda" If there was a movie about you, would you want half of the clip, im sorry the whole movie where you got owned and edit that? Nope. Tweeday works for NiP, in dreamhack they lost the finals, nobodys perfect. How can you call this shit? Only because its NiP's own movie? Are you braindead or just mentally handicapped? I would understand if that would be constuctive critic, but you are just destroying it.

2014-02-16 23:15

2014-02-16 23:24

The movie was bitter sweet because of the 2nd place but still great work. It wouldn't have hurt to add the finals. No everything has to be winning. There's greatness in accepting defeat and learning from it.

2014-02-16 20:04

amazing movie :D

2014-02-16 20:09

Kinda dumb not to include the finals, and kinda disrespectful to not even mention that they ended up losing. Coming second in a tournament like that is nothing to be ashamed about and actually makes this movie seem pretty bias and slanted. I mean, is it REALLY about their journey through Dreamhack Winter if it doesn't include what REALLY happened? That's the only thing holding me back from saying this was really good.

2014-02-16 20:14

Great video, but the final is missing...

2014-02-16 21:02

Well, the movie was good... BUT! Yes there is a big but. You should really considering showing other nice frags from the opponents as well in each game, it gives a more epic feel to the games. When you beat a tough opponent the win seems more epic. So there is a lot of positives to showcase the opponents great moments as well. Also not including the final, really lowers the accuracy of the movie. One might question what else might be missing, everyone has flaws and it takes someone great to admit their flaws. Other than that, I enjoyed the movie.

2014-02-16 21:07

Commentary in the end caused me to cringe. Terribly biased. Ending was shit. NiP got crushed by fnatic, they lost. It's the reality of it. Stop trying to make it look like they won. Absolutely disgusting.

1 reply

No one wants to show themselves getting steamrolled. But the worst part is that tweeday blatantly cuts out anything to do with fnatic beating them except for the little "Second Place" on NiP's cheque at the end. I've been reading a bunch of comments on HLTV and /r/globaloffensive and the general impression is that NiP was made to look like they succeeded. What would a player who didn't know about DHW or CS:GO think about the video? I hate to word it like this but it's like propaganda for the NiP fanboys.

apart from the last 3D rendered CT this film is just fantastic. i was prepared to say perfect but i'm biased against NiP. :D

2014-02-16 23:38

Really good movie for all types of players to enjoy, from casual to professional. -The narration at the end was somewhat corny; I thought the same for the DHS movie. -The fact that they came second place should have been worked into the storyline of the movie.

not a documentary since it does not show all the aspects from NiP's perspective (e.g. NiP's loss of fnatic) this is biased for the ending. fnatic documentary showed all sides even their loss of de_inferno during grand final.

Enjoyed the movie. Thanks, Tweeday. P.S.: Overconfidence is one's worst enemy, imo (talking about "gonna crush them, no problem" by f0rest vs LGB).

Awesome movie .. Great Job!!! ps: For those who say he is biased. Of course it is. It's not a movie about dreamhack. It's a movie about Nip at dreamhack.

to bad in movie it looks like you won the final terrible ending

2014-02-17 12:01

i loved the last part with verygames u knw , 1k and the croud goes loud <3

2014-02-17 12:36

I closed after 10 mins, you dont need shouts after every single frag, a few would have had more feeling to it IMO.

2014-02-17 12:39

very good, gj tweeday!

2014-02-17 14:11

sorry but the movie is a bit too long :) i fastforward to watch frags only, greetings.

2014-02-17 14:18

It is me only or the in game video quality is far too bad for a movie of this caliber? Is even hard to see the frags...

2014-02-17 14:23

love how you side step the whole losing the grand final. why not just add an ending in black and white like 'everyone loses sometimes''even the best taste defeat ;;;;((" sorta thing. missed out on a double epic ending bud. cool movie tho wp

Still think the vg nip match was the real dreamhack finals. But fnatic surprised and crushed em.

2014-02-18 01:00

whats the song 3:50

2014-02-18 12:01

more retarded video pls. oh wait. not possible.

2014-02-18 15:09

nice movie, but again dont go into detail that they actually bottled it.

2014-02-19 00:37

wow, the ending is just hideous and no I'm not referring to the speech but the fact that you totally left out the grand final. No, to make it even worse you make it look like NiP won the finals against VG. I don't know whether that was your choice or someone from NiP told you to do so, but this makes the (apart from that) awesome movie ridiculous and makes me wonder how sour that grand final loss must have been for NiP. That's just my opinion and you probably won't read this anyway.

please someone, what was fnatics lineup in the DHW? - found it Markus 'pronax' Wallsten Jesper 'JW' Wecksell Andreas 'schneider' Lindberg Robin 'flusha' Rönnquist Jonatan 'Devilwalk' Lundberg

2014-02-19 02:23

Obviously it's biased towards NiP because he's getting paid by NiP l0l..

2014-02-19 04:05

NiP <3

2014-02-19 04:55

Imagine if someone just get back from holiday for ages and was like "OMG I WONDER WHO WON DREAMHACK WINTER" and see this post and is like holy shit NiP must have won it, because no evidence of them losing the final???? YOU KNOW WHAT IM SAYING YO ?>? ?? ?
