Not bad for a first attempt!

Some footage of some kills in your next video would be cool!

well u kno that u cant expect everyone on this forum to b 'friendly', just understand that.

as for the movie, it wasnt wat most ppl expect, but i guess it was ok. do u really like evanessence? the lighting was par, u couldnt see a lot of stuff. also on the credits, i didnt like the sounds, too much, but thats my opinion, if u like them, more power to u.

i didnt really understand wat u were doing, the c4 on the hog thing was quirky, but the other thing i really didnt pick up on. all this can b worked on, it was decent for a first time movie, i doubt i could do better.


ok,i need help with the following then;

1.) how do i fix the lighting?
2.) the credits,the sounds were from a band called Fields of the Nefilim,it has real music later on,but i suppose i could change the music now on my next video.right now i am stuck on editing this one.
3.) i was just screwing around with a first time movie and thought i would show what i found cus it is kind of funny.the last c4,i couldn't edit in,because someone (someone logged in in between the scene splicing) had typed some..er..."negative" things about bungie.so i just decided it would make a nice ending effect to have a countdown.
4.) i sort of like evanescence,and thier songs seemed right for a sucicide movie.

*EDIT*
5.) not everyone,but hopefully a lot of people will be friendly...
*EDIT 2*
to ZC Tango, this is just a messing around video,no kills in this one.thank you for the not bad,and next time i will have some kills assuming i dont lag too much with fraps running. also,i saw in your video that you have the phrase wtf on the screen.how do you do that?

The choice of music is poor for this kind of video. Evanescence is good and all, but inappropriate for this movie. You weren't able to pull off the "emo-suicide-video" vibe. You should have used Sugar Ray's "Fly", or something else.

It's quite obvious how to put text during clips, simply click "Make Titles or Credits" under Edit Movie, and click "Add title on the selected clip in the timeline". It's quite self-explanatory and straight forward.

Also, please work on your grammar.

When I asked you to work on your grammar, it had nothing to do with the video at all.

lol

Hm yeah.. there was no real point to the movie though.

It would be better if you got blasted into the air and we saw it. Or your body managed to fly up onto a ledge or something.. that would be better ;]

yeah,that would have happened too,but i had just banned the guy that was typing the "bad words" about bungie...heh,didn't want that in the movie,right?

*EDIT*
i now have a new video,in case you missed it,that has been edited.i still need help with the lighting though.

i did the game setting thing intentionally,this is just a movie to screw around.that answers all the questions but one.the end song is called roaming sheep by nobuo uematsu.he writes almost all the final fantasy songs(yes,i know i am a geek)

ok,so much for my last post >.> then,you are saying that you have a solution to the graphics problem?because,you basically said yourself there is nothing you can do,so what does it matter in the first place?

Yeah, of course he could use a new graphics processor unit, but I wouldn't call that constructive criticism.

I think you abused the feature to put titles while a clip is going on, but it was significantly better than the last one.
