[MGS 4] New video I made, need critics.

edited January 2008 in Games and Technology
I realize that most of you hated my previous video, apparently because it had Linkin Park in it. Personally didn't care what you thought of the band, just wished you would focus more on the video itself. Anyway, I decided to make another GMV, this time with MGS4 and the Foo Fighters. Don't care what you think of them, if you think this is spam then tell me a more appropriate thread, because right now I just want criticism. The Pros, the Cons. No insults or praise, since everyone thinks I'm seeking praise. If you really want to insult me or my video, then go right ahead. Don't expect me to take it too hard, I'm actaully in a pretty cheery mood. So, yeah, enjoy I guess.

Game : Metal Gear Solid 4 : Guns of the Patriots.
Song : Foo Fighters - Pretender.

    I believe the Artist's Corner would be a better place for it, in that case.

    Alright then. May I ask how I can get it moved?

    I thought it was pretty good. I've made a couple videos before, and I have a buddy who makes anime music videos, so I know how hard and time consuming the process is. The clip changes lined up with the beats pretty well, and for the most part the "words" of the song gave a description of what was happening in the scene. Well done.

    (But yeah, it'll probably be more appreciated in the artists corner)

    You can just stop posting GMVs instead.

    Did you not get the hint when everyone railed you about the POP ones you made?

    I think most people hate AMVs and GMVs, and with very good reason.
    There's nothing I hate more than seeking some footage on Youtube and landing on another one of those god damn montages with a completely innapropriate song.

    Hey um. I have an idea.

    So maybe you don't have to make a new damn thread every time an idea pops into your head.

    And maybe you don't have to make a new threat just to whore out your videos of other people's work that you synched up to other people's work.

    I mean, look at the other threads around here. Do you see any other threads that are people whoring out videos they made of cutscenes to bands? Any? I thought not. Now do you see any people making threads devoted to links of stuff they made even if it's original material? Again, not that's open or well received.

    Probably you should lurk a little more and get a feel for what passes around here. And when people shoot down your threads you probably shouldn't make the same thread again but with different material borrowed.

    And yes, I know. The internet monsters are out in force, no reason to be such an asshole.

    The "yeesh" was in regard to the hostility.

    But no, I wasn't being sarcastic. I just like to use " ;] " a lot...;]

    I really can't blame the reactions, though. G&T isn't really known as a "forgiving to newbies" forum, and I don't think most people realize the time and patience it takes to actually make one of these things. My buddy is still working on a video he started a year ago (about FFVII Advent Children, this forum's favorite video game movie!! /sarcasm)

    Yes. I've come to realize this is quite a hostile forum. That's why I ask again. How. Do. I. Move. This. Thread.

    No, we completely understand how much it takes to do one of these.


    But you know what? It's still fucking retarded to make a thread about it.

    I'm trying to get as much publicity for my latest show, so you know what I do? I link to my myspace music which has demos for it in my sig, where it's not in the way. You know why I put it there? Because in the fucking rules thread that's what it says to do. Once I get the site for me up I'll be linking there.

    And it's not that we're unforgiving to newbies, even though I hear someone say that every time something like this comes up, it's that we're unforgiving to newbies who come in, don't take any time to figure out how things work around here, and make a thread for a youtube link to a cutscene set to some music the person found, or something stupid like that. This joker in the OP first showed up, made two threads about the POP games, neither of which were really worth anything, and then posted a POP music video that he made, and didn't get the hint when people shot him down.

    Man, if you think this is an unforgiving forum you shouldn't set foot into the Artist's Corner.

    He did nothing wrong. If people don't like the thread, then it will fade into obscurity on its own. It's not like this forum is getting flooded with people posting videos that they made. If people liked this sort of thing (and you can feel free to not), then the thread would most likely get turned into a "video game music video" thread, where people who had any interest would post videos that they made or talk about other's videos. It's not like he's spamming the board. This forum takes "unnecessary threads" way too seriously (unnecessary being a term open for debate).

    I really like how you took existing footage and threw some rock and roll music over it. Keep up the mediocre work.
