GreenStreak's 1st digicam vid

GreenStreak · 12-01-2006

Well, I got bored a while back and decided to try to make a video. I only have a digital camera, so that had to suffice for the time being. I really only made this for myself, no real intention of sharing it, but what the heck. It's been on my computer for a couple weeks now doing nothing, so I might as well share it.

I had less than an hour to get all the kills, so there really aren't too many quality scenes. And then there's the fact I was having fun trying to quick snipe for the first time ever, so this is nothing to be proud of. It's also mostly respawns since I wanted to get as many kills as possible. I actually ended up using every single kill I recorded.

I'm not really looking for comments here either. I know what makes a good video, this is just something I threw together for fun. If you want to comment, please do. I'll just tell you, I don't care if you like my music. I don't care if you don't like me filming in respawns. I don't care if you think I suck at quicksniping, because I know I do. Might sound a little harsh, but like I said, I made this for myself originally, and even though there's a couple parts I'd like to change, it's pretty much exactly how I would want a video.

For all those who just want to watch another video, here you go. Quality isn't the greatest of course (it's a digicam), but hey, I'm not forcing you to watch this :P :) .

You stated the bad things about the video in your words....other than that I loved the Slug Ammo kills on that sniper in Killing Fields! I enjoy video's regardless of the quality, kills, music, ect.....

GreenStreak · 12-01-2006

Thanks! Yeah, I pretty much know what's bad about it. The quality's probably the worst part. I actually got some footage using my sister's digicam over thanksgiving (MUCH better quality) just not enough to make another video with yet, and this one was done already.

I wish I had the chance to film more when I first made this, since there are a few clips I'd like to cut out, like chasing guys with shotguns. If I cut them out though, there wouldn't be enough video to finish off the song, so I stuck them in there anyway.

When I go home for Winter break hopefully I can get some more higher quality clips to make a better second vid.

Okay video

Music was okay

Kills were average maybe not even.

When you were "quicksniping" it took you a pretty long time to zoom in and get the guy.

6/10

Yeah, I was a little hesitant actually calling it quicksniping, but meh, no biggie. FWIW, I've gotten a lot better.

I really did need some more non sniper/shotgun kills. I just have more fun sniping/shotgunning since I rarely use either gun type.

Although I didn't finish it, it wasn't that bad. I liked it 100,000,000% more than other digicam videos. Yours accually had editing, and it wasn't that bad of quality.

GreenStreak · 12-02-2006

Thanks. My sister's digicam has about 100x better quality, so my next vid should be a lot better (I'm hoping).

As you can see in the beginning, I added a lot of effects between scenes, then it faded off towards the end when I thought it started to get a bit cheesy. What do you guys think about effects between clips? Is it better just to go straight from scene to scene, or is it better to add an effect every once in a while?

It's not too bad, nice mix of sniping, gunning and shot gunning. I don't care about filming in respawns either kills are kills regardless. Would of been alot better if i had been in it. And if you weren't such a noob but not too bad. I'll try and catch ya in a respawn next time i see you on.

GreenStreak · 12-06-2006

I won't be on until Friday next week when I'm done with finals and I get to come home. I'll probably be recording a lot with my sister's digicam so I can get a lot more kills with much better quality. If I see you on, I'll join your room, maybe get some clips of you too. I only have S3 though, not CA, just so you know.

Oh yeah, me and a couple of the [C~A] guys might get back together to play some S2 over winter break if you want to join us. We're gonna make a GB account just to have fun on, not really care about wins/losses. If you want to join us, it's gonna be on our CSF names. Would you be able to make a CSF name? "CSF Razor" would be fine. So yeah, if you want to play with us, just make a CSF name, and give me your GB username if you have one, and I'll add you to the roster.

I made a post about it on our old, no longer used forums if you just want to read it real quick:
Clan Advanced [C~A]
