This video is actually pretty old but I didnt add it to youtube untill today. I was just afraid someone might take it for themselves but now Im not that worried. Please excuse the static at the end, the song was a bit corrupt.

Woah...man the graphics on these games! I never played that much of 10, I've seen quite a few clips and played a bit, but haven't seen this much. Great clip!

Goes to show you how people go to their regular everyday bases on certain thread to post on.

Easy on... I'd like to see it, but with an internet connection as crap as mine that just isn't practical. I'm sure I'm not the only one in the same boat either.

The majority of Pack members that I know of has cable or dsl.

I posted. -Points up there-

Midnight might just be one of the unlucky few without cable or dsl. Not all of us have it.

Oh I know you posted, and so did joker and white paw. but to only have 3 comments within 2 days just kinda upsets me.

Don't worry. Most probably, people are just not enough interested in music videos and skip the thread. I did that at the beginning. The video itself is done very well. The music nicely fits the mood.

Kaebora · Post by **Kaebora** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 12:24 pm

It's entertaining, which is a good sign. I sorta like it. Honestly, it doesn't sync to the music most of the time. Just keep in mind that the most effective times to link the music to the video is cutting to new shots, and sudden flashy actions. Listen to the beat for good spots to que a change. It's still rather decent.

And in regards to responses, I get that all the time where people don't comment on my art. I just look at the number of page views so I do know that people at least looked. I saw your video, but didn't feel like commenting at the time. Sorry.

Shadow Wulf · Post by **Shadow Wulf** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 12:37 pm

Yeah but I had my topic viewed over a 100 time but my video was viewed only about 30. And 12 of that was from me to see what reating or comment I got from it.

As for the sync. I tried to do my best to sync and there are actually quite a few parts that synconrize with the song, you just have to pay closer attention to the song and on top of that I didnt want to put any spoiler clips (which are the cool clips) or something that I think a person who hasnt played FF10 to have something to look forward too.

I'm merely saying it should be way more obvious. Half the people that look at videos don't give full attention. If you sync the music the majority of the video it has a bigger impact. Most importantly, always give the first thirty seconds a bigger punch. If a view dislikes the first thirty seconds, they normally wont watch the rest of the video. It's still a good first try. It's better than my first music videos.

Sorry to hammer ya, but I wanted to leave some constructive critizism.

When editing videos, the edit is all you have to work with for artistic expression. It's very difficult. In my case, it takes me half an hour per minute of footage to make a video at the quality I prefer. The more time you spend tweeking it, the better it will look in the end.

Thats awesome. I think you did good on it

Well then I guess im going to have to do a better job next time. That was my first time working with windows movie maker. Thanks for the critizism.

Kaebora · Post by **Kaebora** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 12:11 pm

Windows Movie Maker?! *Pain!* Good luck with that. I suppose all we can do is work with what is availible to us.

That's a tough program to work with. It's extemely limited in editing capabilities. It's still a bit better than the editing software that came with my video capture card. ULead is crap. Heh. Video Toaster and Premiere seem to be the cutting edge, but who can afford that?

MoonKit · Post by **MoonKit** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 12:17 pm

Hey...dont get so angry when people dont care. We've all watched too many YouTube videos...in order for most of us to actually take the time to watch one it better be short and about giant snails!

Im Just Kidding. Just dont get offended so easily, we still like you.

Yes your right, windows movie maker is extremely limited, and I dont like it all that much, but its simple to use. Now I have Sony Vegas wich is a million times better than movie maker!

heh, you right, I shouldnt get upset over it. I just felt.....neglected because everyone posts their video and get immediate response from everyone while mines dont.

Kaebora · Post by **Kaebora** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 1:42 pm

You're not alone. I get that neglected feeling all the time when my multi-paragraph posts are ignored, constantly.

I guess the only difference is how I keep my frustrations bottled up. Not always a good thing, but if I were to let out every complaint I have on this forum... I'd be a complete neusence.

It's always ok to mention what bothers you every once in awhile.
