My Tribute To "Dead Air"

[treythepunkid]

Hey guys, was feeling bored, so i decided to put together a video.

Sorry for any laggy playback of the video, fraps was being a R-tard.

Btw, it just so happens this is my first ever machinima. Its really not that good.

I like, although the inner film critic in me has to say the fade-to-blacks were unmotivated. But really, I like.

-music
-nothing happening really
-gets boring pretty fast
-a little too dark imo

and I wouldn't really call it a machinima, machinima is topnotch gamevideo's with scenarios and all that kind of thing, 'pro' videomaking
people tend to call their movies a 'machinima' because it's not a frag vid
still, nice work for your first vid

Yeah, like i said, i got bored today. With the darkness thing, for some reason youtube made it darker :( kinda pissed me off.

Really was just getting some practice for a trailer video of my map. Final product looked good enough (or at least better then some videos i have seen) to upload.

So Meh.

don't go 'meh'

it's your 'product' and if other people give you feedback about it, you accept it and improve
you don't go 'meh', thinking you are wrong

don't give in to others, record/film/upload what you feel like, but listen to the feedback, some of it might be really helpful ^^

Its ok. But it gets a bit boring with the time.
But i would like to know how you make the camera angels go so smooth?

Sorry, it wasn't a Meh of "I really don't care what other people think" it was a Meh of "I did my best, maybe i should just stick to mapping"

I forgot to thank you for the feedback dude, i will try to work on that stuff for the final video that im planing.

Yeah, i used both the piano and orchestral versions of the song, probably made it a bit to long. I used Demo Smoother for the camera angles. Its a really buggy way of editing the camera in Left 4 Dead demos. If you wish to find out how to use it just Google "Demo Smoother Tutorial TF2" or something like that (because TF2 has the same bugs as Left 4 Dead)

Hope that helps.

Realy nice, I like it! Music fits the atmosphere and the camera movement was sweet!

Just one thing, at the beginning I saw some objects poping up, that wasn't so nice but it was only one scene!

Still great!

[CrAnKeDHigH]

Yeah, overall I liked it. Music was good and scenes/camerawork was nicely done. It did get boring because of the repetitiveness of it just flashing around the map without any action. Put in some action on the next one and you would really improve it a lot.

Overall: 7/10

[treythepunkid]

Cool guys, thanks for the feedback. I will try to make future videos more action-y!
