intro: I liked how the vid started out with the first song he was going to be showing, soo the titles were shown and then it just flowed right into the vid....however....i did not like the titles at all, i did not like how they were made and i did not like what they said.......
i had no idea kratos had his own editing studio, i just thought he had a computer
i did not like the "witness a legend" title because that either will make you or brake you...someone can go into thinking "yesss im about to see a legend" only to be disappointed, or they will actually think you are a legend lol
i dont care what video game you play, you should not consider yourself a legend....i like modesty and soo does most of the world, even if it was meant as a joke
the titles were the same old sony vegas pre-set shit....and i can honestly say iv seen it 100 times..but this time it was worse because for some reason you decided to make it all fuzzy and out of focus looking...the titles did not flow with each other
body: this was very dissapointing because their arent too many people making guitar hero montages out their because not everyone is good at it...soo that means you have an open arena for creativity..meaning your not going to have a lot of shook on3s taking ideas away.....yet this vid was very plainly set up....
instead of croping out the boring same old GH background, you kept the same thing......you could put anything behind the gh footage but instead you kept the same old wooden stage from the game
the transition from song to song was choppy, it was like the montage started over each time the song changed..their were no smooth transitions
the finger footage was pretty poor, shining a nice desk lamp onto the neck of your guitar as you play would be a good idea, because then your finger movements can actually be seen clearly which would make your skill more appreciated ...i didnt have too much of a problem with the half and half footage but their are deff. better options....the main focus of the live finger movement footage is your fingers and the 5 GH buttons.....soo the view of your chest and whatever is in the background (side note: creating a nice clean 1 color background will take attention away from it and improve the appearance of the vid) is useless and is just their taking up attention and space, and also making the all around appearance of the video pretty ugly....(not trying to say kratos or his room is ugly lol)
as for the game play....of course its good, kratos is deff 1 of the best GH players i have seen..their is no doubt about it.......wich means you dont have to worry about people *****ing about game play, like in halo montages...soo you should have much more time to concentrate on the editing and appearance of the vid
you picked some great songs, and some great sections from those songs
end: it kinda just jumped to the ending (no flow there) and the picture of an actual guitar made me chuckle, you should have used something that pertained to what the video was about...even tho the game is called guitar hero, your not actually playing a guitar and your not making music...
also you messed up the timing on the cred titles at the "everyone but 11 people for being worse than me at pro face off" part (bet ya thought i wouldnt notice lol
their is soo much open space for GH montages yet nobody seems to be unleashing their creativity
your biggest flaw was flow, because you had almost none
all and all i wouldnt say to host it because it could be muuuch better......buuut gv barely has any vidz being hosted and it wasnt as completely horrible as this post may make it seem, i just think you could doo much better
kratos you kill the game, keep it up
