+ some interesting bounce sticks... I've literally tried that lockout ceiling one 1000 times and still nada LOL
+ a/v and editing mostly
+ credits were a fun watch heh
+ hah! you couldn't own me
+ intro lets you know you are watching something good
+ a nice mix of team and FFA footage

======

- meh kills
- wasn't crazy about the transitions from song 1 to 2 and from song 2 to credits
- wasn't digging the gray screen

Definitely one of the best I've seen in a while, I was wondering when this would finally come out. I wasn't wild about the sudden color change. Also, the song transitions were kinda sudden as well.. this is a problem I will have just thinking about it. But still, I'm focusing too much on the negative stuff.

Overall this was a very entertaining AND impressive watch. I liked most of Ephrum's editing too. Nothing over the top, but it had a good feel to it. Transitions were nice too. I also liked how most of your team footage was good. They were triples with some good or clutch kills and not 2 killjacks and an outBR. I think this is definitely your best one to date. So you didn't have a killtac with a ball, but the quality of players is much higher.

If I would change anything...
I wouldn't use some of those single snipes and close up sticks.
I'd try to get some better double shots.
I woulda had your 2 biggest multis in different spots.

Overall you inspired me to open Vegas and attempt to edit some more crap in my video.. which is saying a lot since I haven't bothered since Ephrum PMed me a preview of this about a month ago.

Nice review... I completely agree. I'm gunna be re-doing a lot of this montage... I was kind of pressed for time (cuz THG wanted it for the opening of HB)... and then I had issues with my premiere not auto-saving... and I lost a ton of work...and blah blah blah blah... but I agree, I don't like the transitions between the songs, and I could do sooooooo much better on the over-all feel of the video, there's a LOT that I want to re-do and change... so umm... expect a version 2 of this montage some time within the week...

9.5/10

Yupp... I know exactly what you mean, I was new to the concept... but it's something I've improved on since PhaLanX's (* Halo.Bungie.Org * hint-hint *cough Sunday's news cough* )

Wow i've been waiting sooo long for this. Edit when done,

Ok teh gameplay was by far the bast you've ever had and some of the best i've seen but it for some reason didn't feel like a PhaLanX tage? Also some of the gameplay was a bit unworthy to be with the rest. EphruMs editing was really good apart from the reticle but whatever. I liked bloodwork, thats what i was going to use originaly and was nice to see it in a montage. I didn't really like the second song though.The intro was nice aswell. Overall it was very good but just didn't feel correct although it is still your best. Thankyou for getting it finished anyways.
The Score-9.4

Actually Arkive's trailer that was edited by Titan had this first. 8/10/2006. Walshy's was 8/19/2006.


EDIT: Ephrum.. yeah I know what you mean. I would change quite a bit in my 2nd half if I could. I woulda just waited an extra week or whatever. I am forcing myself to never rush videos like this again LOL.

I just watched it a few more times and i like the second song now, Its also seeming more like a PhaLanX tage everytime. It makes me really sad that i don't play with you much.

Yeah, that's what I was gunna say, Arkive's trailer edited by Titian VIII came before Walshy's montage...

[.aMp.]

hrm... i didnt think it did?

[Ephrum]

It definatly did, I remember watching Arkive's trailer like, a week before Walshy's montage came out...
