Hahah z00, everyone hatesd to miss those, even me
And Shaada heres some responses (BTW thats the type of post I was hoping for)
2. About the movie. If you look at it from a person who has never played Halo's point of view then the video is quite confusing, especially since there are quite long cinematics and then some short fast stuff. So in saying that this would probably interest Halo players - but then that makes the video kind of pointless. My advice: work out who you want to cater for and then produce the video that way. Atm its in the middle which IMO, makes it boring and a waste of time. Has potential though.
I understand what your saying, but my problem was that the start of halo 1 really is jsut cinematics. I am hoping to get a bit more gameplay.
One last thing, the intro is really good - I like it, but the text is blurry and needs to be re-worked.
This is because of the font. When I was previewing the movie (I use Vegas) I ammumed that it may be giving off a lower quality as Vegas does that with fonts sometimes. However upon further inspection I noticed that the actual font isnt detailed enough. I used Arial to have a look and its crisp as. This cannot be halped but as you will see at the start of Part 2 (probably today) it doesn zoo min so the font is crisp.
Also, there are a couple mistakes in there that if you watch the intro I'm sure you'll pick up.
Im guessing your refering to a video missing in one of the heartbeats? Genuine mistake, this was caused because Vegas cant load all of the different clips at the same speed they are meant to be played and i generally dont pay attention to the intro when im reviewing the post video.
Oh and theres a long pause with a blank screen that could be taken out/shortened.
The long black part, i initially did it without it and it seemed a little bit odd, however that wont be in future parts.
Try something new with part 2... a whole bunch of cinematics is boring as fuck. Try to use gameplay to tell the story using the voices of the players in the game like you did at 06:06 - thats good. Also, try not to make it look like you're rushing the story. Near the end you seem to be rushing and skipping places so you can get to the pod to escape - it makes it look really hurried and un-appealing, especially to someone who has played the game. Not sure how you would go about fixing that.
6:06 is happening alot more, I had a bit of a problem with FRAPS and alot of the video got corrupted, hence the missing scenes before boarding the escape pod. This is also partly why it appears Im rushing the story
