There's a replay or two at the end incase you miss it first time.

I'm not 100% sure how they got the final footage.

Their character models and views go back but the camera stays locked (and bouncing) in place.

Removing the first-person gun model is a simple console command. ("r_drawviewmodel 1" I think.)

Maybe in demo's and demo playback you can force free look-mode or something.

I'll have to mess about with it later. I have plenty of demo's that need footage extracting for a [=LS=) video I'm making. (More on that in another topic.)

Good question, not sure about that. As far as I know a demo from a player perspective can only be used in first-person, since the info isn't normally there to allow you to float round and see everything (at least on other Source-based games). In the comments he says it's just turning the draw models off.

To my eyes it looks like he's somehow lagging the demo; you can see his flashlight move as he fires a grenade at the tank, but his character model doesn't. Same features on the last, slower replay, but he's standing in a different position. Can you rate hack a demo?

Also, you using Fraps or WeGame or something for your video?

I start FRAPS running before I playback the (pre-recorded) demos and hit my "Start Capture" Hotkey at the relevant times.
