BF2S Forums My first ownage video

not bad, but that game is way too easy.

Looks a bit choppy and the music o_O but overall a good video.

music is not that good in my opinion, good footage though

okay, but nothing really that great...

edit: man this sucks, i've been trying to make a cod4 video with fraps, and i can record at a steady 50 FPS, and then the moment a helicopter or airstrike comes in FPS drops to 30... and for some reason when fps drops to 30 the game seriously is unplayable...

its retarted, meh, might have to lower settings :\

what would make it great? Gimme pointers cause I might make another.

Pointers? Only pointer I could give would be to change the music. It completely ruined the video for me. I'm sure it's a good song that you like, but when making videos for the general public, you need music that everyone will like. I can't give any other pointers because I didn't watch past the first 10 seconds. Yes, the music was that bad. Sorry

some sequences rather than single kills

Meh.

Not bad, would have been much cooler if you aligned each kill to the beat of the music.

Or something along those lines.

do you have any idea how difficult that would be without high quality video editing software AND keeping a halfway interesting movie?

Pretty good video, I'm sure you're a great player, but it's hard to appreciate that in Call of Duty 4 when all you do is showcase individual kills / quick sprees. I rate a player based on their effectiveness in  a team when it comes to winning a match,  not just their ability to spray down a few enemies when they get the ideal opportunity. It's easy to show off a few killing sprees- but it's not so easy to properly demonstrate how you can completely turn a match for your team based solely on your abilities.

Keep up the good work, and best of luck in the future with your movie-making .

are u serious? using that ACOG sight lolz xD

You took 10 seconds to watch it and think you can provide any advice (heads up, the music changes drastically at the 38 second mark)? Come on, on top of that there's no music everyone likes and it was better then the Muse/Drowning Pool/Prodigy that overwhelms frag videos. Not saying it's my favorite, I couldn't understand a damn word out of a genre that the main point is the spoken word.

Well, past that, my suggestion is instead of cherry picking single 3 second long kills, get a decent streak going and record that. There were a few parts that fell in to the "decent streak" category though most were just headshots here and there.

Overall it was good, you should just look for some different footage.

Not that hard at all. Just lay down the audio first, and trim the clips as necessary. It's easy to do in Movie Maker, or pretty much any editing software.

yes, but trimming clips to anything other than time constraints and entertainment leads to confusing and/or uninteresting videos

it's cool a few times in a video, but too much is just... too much
