Well I watched this movie and found it was missing alot and that I actually had to make myself finish watching it in order to be able to give my point of view on your project. Sure you are capturing a duel but it would be nice if you could capture it in different angles, places and characters.

- For example, after the dwarf was killed the first time maybe at the point the movie could flash to another part of the world in Yliakum and have that dwarf die, then continue to follow the victor of the duels, this way you have variety and it doesn't become boring to watch.  Fade in and out of scene's, and maybe add some text with words that appeal to the scene.

See, zorbels was giving what i call CONSTRUCTIVE critisism.

It's not like just saying, it's bad, it sux, i hate duels....

That's just ignorant and wastes people time.

Zorbels actually gave me tools to make my videos better next time and I thank you zorbels.

The only thing i would have to say is, I can't get different angles, i'm one person shooting a duel and for me to get different angles i'd have to have different people filming the same duel.

That's just not possible.

Even if i had someone else using Fraps or another program, filming the duel, They'd still have to send me That video, and each video is about 1 gig in size, depending on length.

So Different angles just can't happen, unless i get someone with REALLY fast internet, like T1, and i myself have T1, and we then can transfer video files to one another.

But i agree with you, if i could capture the duel in different angles, the Videos would be ALOT better.

I guess i can get rid of Chat box next time, i start filming.

It's just When you're doing a vid, you need to talk to people about when the duel occurs, where it occurs, and who wins.

I used the chat box at the beginning of the video wrongly, but at the end, I had it set to system, and it showed how much damage each person did as well as how many times they tried to attack but missed.

I loved the choice of music, and i thought it was appropriate for the flow of action.

To get a better understanding of what you wanted, Could you please give me some songs that would have gone great in this video?

I really don't know what kind of music would have been better, so i'd like your opinion regarding that.


Also, there was a slight discrepency in your Quote, you mentioned Fading in and out of scenes.

I've clearly had Scene transitions, and Some of them were fade.

But yes, i did fade in and out of some scenes, and i also used different Scene transition, such as Blur, and Turnaround, Wiper, etc.

If more people could comment like Zorbles, I could have more help making nicer Movies.

I thank you for your comments zorbles, and i hope others follow in your footsteps.

Don't forget to reply with some choices of music that would have been better for the vid.

I watched it as well.  I think there needs to be some set-up.  Maybe you show a role played chat that leads to a duel.

I was also confused watching the duel because the Dwarf would stay standing upon death (not your problem, but a feature not yet implemented in PS yet).

It's not like i'm blaiming your way, i'm not. It's just that there are other ways of casting.
What I would like is a little more variation. A little bit of a story, some depth, and a little bit of that, meaning better casting(but that'll improve over time). Right now you don't get much good critique because you have a lot to improve, obviously. Just don't expect red roses every time you make a movie, be prepared for the worst.
Have some selfdistance learning is like an online game. Every time the game gets all it's bugs fixed you implement a whole new feature (learn a skill) and it goes "Boom!" and all kinds of new bugs show up(things to be improved  ::)) It's just to hang in there and never lose your motivation.

"Here are some tips"
A "good" movie needs
-A story(try writing it on paper first)
-Casting(where and how will the cameras act, things to remember...)
-A timeline(Depends on the story)
-Events(Action! Romance...)
-Character(Head person, Enemies, Friends...)
-Special Effects(always handy)

The main purpose of the story is to have something people relate to. A good movie makes you numb, pulls you in.

As you might've seen we don't always give bad critique to all film-apprentices, perhaps there is something you've missed. Learn from others to improve yourself, arrogance is never a good starting ground. Been there, done that. ;]

My advice, amongst all gibberish, is to take all critique with a pinch of salt. Expect the worst and you, at least, wont be sadly suprised :]

Just a tip for the Soundtrack you could use:
Carl Orff - O Fortuna

It's classical music and has a quite dark aura, especially the middle part would match a duel very well.

If you prefer something more modern you could crawl through some old Nightwish tracks - some of 'em would fit into the topic too.
There are tons of bands that mix medieval music with modern Rock/Metal/Whatever. Just a two examples: In Extremo, Saltation Mortis.

Hope that helps.

I'm sorry for the inconvience everyone, The server my files are hosted on is having a problem.

I'll have it fixed soon.

Then those who didn't get a chance to download can.

If you can't download the movie today, try again tommorow, the problem is Filefront's fault and they told me their trying to fix it.
