Well after a great few weeks playing the Halo Reach Beta, I've finally gathered my hours of gameplay into one place. Big thanks to Bungie for letting us try their game early. And another big thanks for creating Saved Films. Seriously, how has nobody else done that yet?

Anyway, strap on your powdered wigs, get your smoking jacket and a glass of brandy (if you're of age), and prepare for what I like to call the 2552 Overture followed by the Pink Danube Waltz. I've prepared my very first montage thanks to a new piece of hardware from Hauppauge. I like to refer to it as a Mediocre Montage blended with a little old school music. And by "old school", I mean waaay old.

You won't find any Skulltastrophies or Killmageddons in this video. I just ain't that good. You will find a mash up of me just having some good old Halo fun, as well as a little tribute to all those people who wore the good old Pink Needle suit.

I hope to see you all online in the Fall. Enjoy!

Frisky

How did you mix the video sounds and the music so well? Good ear man! The videos are straight forward. What you are doing...just keep it up!

That... is... awesome. I love these types of montages compared to 'skill' based ones. They're a lot more fun. :D

Thanks! Timing the footage to the audio was probably the toughest part, being my first montage/mashup/trailer. But if you want to know how I literally did it, I basically expanded the waveform chart of the audio and timed the explosions, etc to match audible spikes in the score. Changing video speed with things like time remapping helped get things a little more synched. I still wish I could have timed it a little better, but I could have spent months trying to work on it.

How'd you find me?

I loved those montages, I actually found myself laughing because the classical music mixed with the violent deaths was some how funny in a way. I also commented on youtube, I am R&N 2010. Good show!

Thank you kindly. I got your PM as well. I thought the classical music contrasted with some face smashing would be a bit of a change from the face smashing music mixed with face smashing footage. I like to limit the smashing of faces in my video to just the footage...
