A few weeks ago Valve started a closed beta of a new CS:S update. Some of you might had the luck to reserve one of the popular slots but others are looking forward to the update without even knowing which changes it brings.
Since we are a moviemaking community i want to tell you following first.
!!!ALL DEMOS YOU RECORDED BEFORE THE UPDATE WONT WORK WITH THE NEW UPDATE!!!
We wouldn't be Ghost Pictures if we haven't prepared something for you. If you still want to use your old demos you need a copy of CS:S without the update and you can see how to get one here (Tutorial by Clayman) : www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQyPYF34ZZM
Ingame you will discover a Killcam which some of you might know from Team Fortress 2. Since we Source gamer aren't familiar with it and might dont really like it Valve gives the player the opportunity to turn it off.
Another big thing you will see are the brand new archivements which you can earn by doing special things like a double kill and stuff.
For the public gamer of you there is also a "Domination - Revenge" system. So if you kill the same player three times in a row you dominate him and you get a point more for killing you. If the dominated guy kills you, he made a revenge and also earned one point more.
At the end of each round the "Most Valuable Player" gets picked.
Apart from the changes you can see there are also some you just can feel. As CS:S gets to run on the new Source engine you will have more FPS with a multicore processor now. Also some new console commands will be implemented.
EDIT: The update will take effect at 6 PM (GMT +1)
Thanks to dsn
We want to wish you Happy Easter and we hope you enjoy some free days, time with your family and of course some eggs, that doesn't mean that you should take your balls out! :P

• [DEMOCALL] Final Time by FraG1
Hello Guys, it's Ghost Pictures again and we would like to inform you about a new community movie made by our very own FraG1.
He's ready to start but rarely has demos, so if you have anything which is worth being in a movie of this good guy than leave him a private message with a link to your demo that is renamed like "nickname_action_map_tick"
Doesn't matter if it's SourceTV or POV demo. FraG1 will be happy about every single demo and I can promise you that this movie will be a BOMB. If you haven't seen something made by FraG1 than you better check out some clips of him first.
If these awesome previous works dont make you wanna send a demo to him, I can't help you anymore. For those who want to send a demo -> CLICK HERE <- to PM FraG1 directly.
We are proud to introduce you the newest member of the Ghost Pictures Team, named Alexey 'GP-Gav' Gavrikov. He's 18 years old and lives in russia. After drinking a bit Vodka (just one bottle or so) he released his first shortmovie under the flag of Ghost Pictures on a LAN Event in Russia. After getting alot of good comments from the russians there he released his movie on YouTube. His nice little work is called 'BART - Lights Up' and features professional footage from the russian topplayer BART.
Ghost Pictures proudly prestens a new movie called "Interactive".
FraG1 created something completely new and gives you the freedom to decide how your way will end.
"You wont watch it - you'll play it!" - This sentence describes the feeling of the lovely created production.
But enough words are spoken now - enjoy the following series of screenshots and after that have fun watch... ehrm playing!
P.S.: You will find some eastereggs while playing and the first 30 gamers that'll find all eastereggs will get a shoutout at the YouTube describtion of the movie. It's important that you PM FraG1 with your result .. DO NOT post it in the comments!

Ghost Pictures proudly presents a oneplayermovie directed by sliNK - starring one of germany's finest players "Rak" who actually plays for the #1 EPS team in germany, hoorai.xilence!
I enjoyed the refreshing introduction, the soundtrack and sync throughout the film were also very good. Unlike previous works by Slink, it was nice to see a brighter movie with a more upbeat soundtrack. Console does a great job producing solid frags that mixed with Slinks editing style really came to life. Quality was as usual great, and overall I really enjoyed this film and feel I got a chance to meet Console a bit more up close and personal. Two thumbs up.
Interview
Jinxed interviews films producer, Dany "sliNK" Baron.
1) It's been awhile Dany, why don't you introduce yourself to the few who may be unfamiliar.
Hey, I`m Dany Baron and I`m 18 years old. I live in a small village in Germany which is near Stuttgart. I started playing CS:S in early 2006 and editing CS:S movies in summer 2007. When I don't play games or edit anything I normally play poolbillard with friends which is my biggest hobby next to the computer. Next year I am also up to go deeper into REAL moviemaking and testing out some cameras and stuff because with the time it gets boring to only edit the same old game :)
2) Taking a step back from community movies, what pushed you to do a player movie this time around?
Well, I created some very succesfull community movies already (funeral2, behind blue eyes, etc.) and the most people always said it's nicely edited and stuff BUT the frags are cheated/faked/against low or whatever...
So in the end because of all the flames, I decided to stop producing any community movies anymore because I want to give the people what they really want and that are skilled frags against good and known teams with nice editing.
3) Could you tell us more about the featured player Console?
He's 19, started playing css 5 years ago and stopped for 1 year playing competitive halo pc
Ex-teams: .x7, dtekt, hyrsky, mugNmouse, Envision
Currently: team Exsto
4) What would you feel is different between this film, and your previous works?
As you might see it's a different musicstyle to the most of my other works (emo screaming etc.) and so I tried to edit as good to the musicstyle as possible. Also I tried to take notes on the movie Slife with these cameraangles from my favorite producer "Smerch" as you hopefully can see ;D
And at all, I think it's my best work till yet, even if it's edited very clean and simple.
5) What are your plans for your next movie?
My next movie will be a oneplayermovie about a known german player called "Rak" who actually plays for hoorai which is the 2nd best team in germany behind mTw. Featuring frags only against topteams and also from lan events.
6) What would you like to see more of in future films, and what would you like to see less of?
I would like to see more teammovies like royality for a reason by Deadcell or the Lan79 highlight movie by Eyeshiled with alot reallife and lanfootage so that you get a real feelin of the event!
7) Thanks for taking the time to catch up, any final shoutouts you would like to make.
No problem, it was my pleasure! :)
And yea, I would like to thank all friends and fans out there (you know who you are...!), the Ghost-Pictures Team, all my youtube subscribers, consoLe ofcourse for his great work on the frags and for letting a german cunt like me editing his movie :D And also EVERY single guy who ever has supported me in any possible way and still does!
