Nexrun video by kojn

#9
Here's my opinion:

The quality of the video was good, but please start finally recording your demos in 720p. The video lacks a real in-/outro, it starts immediately with a nexrun after an unoriginal (quiet boring) introduction. By cutting the soundtrack and using the part of the song at about 0:45 you could've given the movie an intresting, vigorous intro by using cinematics. Cinematics, I missed those in the movie. Sure, using first person mirrors the fast nexrun gameplay perfect, but you should've used different camera angles from time to time. You could also have been a bit more creative with the transitions (by e.g. using the masking out tool, or by adding cinematics). But the video cutting was done well imo.

The movie itself suddenly got 10 times better at the 2nd half starting at about 3:40. The slow-mo effect fitted well with the soundtrack. That's btw another situation where cinematics (which could be really simply different camera angles) would have made the athmosphere, the sliding over the blue ocean, again a bit better. The movie itselfs gets way more energetic with the faster getting soundtrack to the end, you really synced it greatly then. I was really disappointed that the movie was suddenly over when I thought that the real action finally begun (especially at 5:00 which is my favourite part since it perfectly fits the soundtrack).

So, my main advices for your further projects would be trying to make better transitions by using different camera angles. This way the video won't get too boring and everything will be way more slick, which is very important for a video imo. The athmosphere will be alot better this way and keep the viewer entertained. You should also start recording your clips in 720p.

Taken together, the movie wasn't bad at all. The 2nd part was even damn good. So all in one, thumbs up.
