US TOO! lol if you got some send them in we are hoping to get some really CSS clips this week! :drool::drool:

 

[Skipper Finny]

Very well done guys! I enjoyed it very much.

Well, there's 3 full pages of comments, so I dont know if this has been said already.

The clips should be shorter, or if not shorter, more fast forwarding to the kills. The top 3 vids all had a lot of idle time in between them and it didn't feel good. If you show the whole killstreak during one life, it might be a long video if someone records a demo where they camp some bottle neck, or door, or spawn to get a lot of kills.

Also, commentatory would be great and possibly different background music playing for each clip. Listening to the same techno beat for 7 something minutes was starting to bore me.

The editing was otherwise great. ^_^ If commentatory wont work, some kind of a kill/score counter could be good. Also a bar with the name of the player + game in the beginning of the clip. I had a hard time reading the marquee. Might've just been the font though. Keep up the good work!

It would be better if you do not convert it. Just send the .dem file to the guys.

This is so that they can keep the same quality/video size for all the videos.

 

[Dont Kill The Medic]

Very Cool! I very much liked the 2nd!

Definitely a great start, but it just seems that the video is missing something.

I have read through all the comments and one mentioned an example of MLG's Top 10 Halo series. Below is an example of one of their episodes.

The video that our media team put out has some really great elements, but it just lacks pizazz. The clips were too long and a main focal point seemed to be lacking. Each clip needs to be trimmed down and the high action point needs to be emphasized much more. A commentary would help with this for sure.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssO3ylLrC-s"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssO3ylLrC-s[/ame]

The above example does a really good job of showing how just picking out one kill for a Top 5 is O.K. I am not sure how many entries the team had to pick from, but trimming down is good. Another good idea might be to add some more effects to the actual clips such as rewinding to highlight a great kill or zooming in.

Other then those things, it truly is a great start. Keep up the good work and love the passion.

 

[joshcash]

Yep Darth is right on send us .dem we can get better footage also we can do some pretty cool effects since they are originals effects that you guys will be seeing in upcoming videos!

 

[aWoKen]

I really like the idea and i really liked it thought it was very good, but would have liked to see more editing on the frag side of things instead of only in between. keep it up!

epic.. however.. i dunno who this Baen kid is.. boot em is what i say.

 

[Baumer]

Well done guys! I would like commentary as well... preferably someone with a British accent. Don't know why, but videos with a British guy commenting are the best. It would also be a good idea to say the manes of the players on the countdown screen.

 

[aWoKen]

I'm not sure why you said there weren't any CSS frags though, I definitely sent in one.
