CoD:WaW Fragmovie part 2 (open for criticisim)

[Infinite]

I made this to ask for criticism on my video editing. The clips were made in one run, so I didn't tape anything in 3rd person or anything special, but i started to mess around with Sony Vegas Pro and add some effects that I've never used before. When my video finishes uploading it will be on http://exposureroom.com/members/Infinite.aspx/ and be named "Infinite's CoD:WaW Fragmovie (testing effects)". I want to see what other people think about it because I can never look at my own work and find huge mistakes :s. It's about 150mb, and I'd prefer that you download it and watch it in Divx Player 7.0.0, unless you have a better one, but that's just for a better quality, and if you don't feel like downloading it you don't have to. I made this video purely for video editing to see what else I could add to appeal to an audience/ make it look cooler and not for frags (altho i did use a PPsH because apparently some people prefer that i use automatic weapons over semi-autos/bolts ). I added the bluish effect in the movie to add a dream-like effect to the movie to match the music and reality of it.

It should be up within 2 hours in HD and MD.

EDIT: forgot to add, I'm not waiting for it to upload completely because I need to go to bed ><. So, I'll answer any questions or comments tomorrow .

im not a fan of the purple dark effect thing.

other than that, a very nice movie.

[The President]

I liked it, but the purple effect thing got annoying after a while.

ok the white flash doesn't fit to the music
only good thing with this was the flash and then fastforward into next scene that was not bad

and as the other said to much coloursettings with the purple and music was kindo not fiting into the movie

I don't see what you're getting at with the flashes not fitting to the music, but i obviously used too much blue/ used it for too long.

@ everyone: perhaps I'm color blind or sony vegas is completely wrong on the color scale, but it's definetely not purple .

I'll make one with some fixes later (when i get home) and ask again if it looks better.

It's blue, it might look purple because of the edges being black.

[Drofder2004]

Its technically purple. The effect is blue, but the background is a range of black and dark shades of individual colours producing a purple haze (which is why light colours [explosions] to appear pink.

1. Where the fuck is volume? I have an amp constantly turned up full and then I put software volumes down, >.>
2. Flashing at the beginning didn't seem relevant and only occasionally followed the beat.

Well, it seems that less is more to you guys :s. Is there anything that I should add to it to make it look better? i.e. a cool intro like the one in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnXnhjxHg2A&fmt=22

tbh, I'm more like cool videos and high quality. Added extras are just screwing up the video. The only time I see point in adding some effects is when you change clips, like from a killstreak on 1 map to another killstreak on another map, that kind of switch.

That's why I like Pres his movies. Cool, no unneeded extras etc.

Unless you are seriously artistic and professional at video editing, effects generally only lower the quality of the video and make it look amateur and a little childish. Subtle effects are good, and less is certainly more Use a single good effect very well and it will be better than 100 effects that just make the video hard to watch.

Looks like I'll just stick to making them simple from now on .

Don't get me wrong though, I liked the movie, good quality

And imo that blue effect ain't horrible, just don't use it too often.

You have done better than I could ever do, I'm not the computer techy.

The blur/speed line effect save for when nothing is happening, speeding up the video to get past the boring parts...

Simplistic videos with a good 30 second intro are great. As Zait said, spare the FX for clip switching.
