1}Needs a title/opening and credits. Title tells the viewer who made it, who they reperesent, etc. Credits give credit where credit is due. Nuff' said.
2}Could use titles for the clips, with transitions between clips. Individual titles can add a sense of wit to a piece, while also allowing you to 'lead in' to a clip isntead of blasting the viewer with random violence. You can show the few moments before the event occured, while also preventing them from becoming bored. It adds suspense, as you know that something cool is about to happen, as you read the title that said, for example, '1 Plasma=Killamanjaro', but you are still watching a guy walk through Powerhouse alone. Transitions allow the viewer to digest the last clip, while preparing for the next one. I find a 1.5 second transition to be sufficient.
3}Lower the volume of the songs. Theya are meant to accompany a piece, add to its essence as a whole, and provide an auditory 'background' to a piece, not overshadow it and encompas it. I personally like to hear the gameplay sounds as they add to the complexity of a piece.
4}Use multi-color effects only when there are mass explosions occuring in a scene, and never when observing scopng. This makes it difficult for the viewer to see the shot, while also preventing them from fully focusing on the action at hand. During explosions, however, they add a layer of magnifisence to a scene, especially should that scene be in slow motion. It creates a work of art.
5}Always acknowlege the following:
"Thank You Bungie. All rights reserved by Microsoft Inc, Bungie LLC, etc."
6}Good choice of music and well-done editing. The song did very well at encouraging the clips to their potential, and I can see you doing very well on your next video.
