What about making your vids 16x9 next time? And, put in some nice sounds as the standard lockon sounds are not exactly impressive.

 

Other than that, pretty nicely done :thumbup:

 

my 2 cents ;)

Making the videos in widescreen is probably better, yes ;)

 

And i don't mind the sounds in this video, every movie maker has to use the tools at his disposal, and if this means using in-game sounds as opposed to NO sounds, then go for it.

 

Also disable subtitles, as we see it pop up now and then.

And use ZOOM for your shots. Not for EVERY shot, but it really creates variation, which helps and adds to the movie.

 

You could also try using some more interesting views, than the standard fly-by views, and "padlock to target" views.

it began nice with a fluid vid with high settings graphics but the end came too soon

Thanks!

 

I'm go to made a new one's better, and longer for 2010, i take more time for found good musics and sounds, and for a more "coherent story".

 

See you in 2010 for the second video!

IMO to much exposure of unpleasant aspects like LOD related disappearance of buildings and objects can spoil a good presentation, as it’s being an artistic intention behind the movie rather than a tutorial, it is essential to make it look good.

 

And then it is nice to see some sort of story structure like for example: an animated stick could tell a story whereas a beehive isn’t so exiting (to much to take in).

I’m not saying that sticks can or shouldn’t be used in lock on movie, there is no restrictions for creativity.

 

Moving on to other details like a plane in particular, a plane looks nice in a fly by capture but when it’s filmed in the locked view I.e. (F2 key) for prolonged manoeuvres, it looks like a toy and that’s where it could do with a jiggle at least.

 

The combination of modes and effects is also important I.e. the ground texture might look nice and green on the ground but it could be a cartoon like effect from the air where a blue haze effect could put it in place.

Now the best footage can take a camera men anywhere but in this case no journalists to follow.

 

It’s all hard work, cuts and slashes, that’s what movies are, every one knows a good movie or two and like on TV some times, who watches that crap on some channel.

 

The bottom line is these are the ingredients I see for a good movie and there’s tons of good recipes, and in the end what count’s is the diversity and creativity for us to see.
