Damn,

I've uploaded the lo-res one again:
Lo-Res

That should work, I will upload the hi-res one when I have time to do so, but for now the lo-res will have to do.

It should work, sorry about before.

K, as u said the whole idea of a chase skit is kinda lame, nothing orginal really....bit of an over use of the effects maybe? I dont know wht the hell was going on the in middle bits, bit too arty. I loved your use of camera angles though, they were done well. diddnt think it went together though, too much stopping of music and starting a differnt song, it diddnt seem too flow.

And I dont get why when u make a 40mb clip tht its still jumpy?!?!?? so many groups have choppy videos and their files r huge!!! wht do u export it in? we use the settings like 512kb for broadband and them ones....u should too. and if u did, my bad.

Anyway, unorginal, over use of effects, but nice camera angles...and I suppose the fight scence was quite cool. decent for a first attempt, cut down on effects, come up with soem orgianl stuff, and your there I think. biggrin.gif

Right the problem with the changing of songs is because it was filmed over on weekends, once a week, so after we captured it on and edited it,and the next week we filmed again and so on till we finished that's why there is so many song changes, Basically the start was filmed like last year, and we decided not to carry on for a while, you can see christmas decorations up, on the houses.

The reason for the choppy quality is, it was originally captured in WMM, with usb, 640x540 pixels or summut, so then I thought I'd better shorten the size, I should of now used pinnacle but at the time I only had wmm, so I shortened it in wmm, I didnt wan't people to wait ages downloading the 80mb size, and then not liking it. biggrin.gif
but I must say, the 80mb size, is not perfect quality, as it was captured on WMM with USB

Ye I aggree on the effects, but still it's ok, it looks a lot better in higher quality,

also the fight scene, I thought it was shit! I really wanted to do it again, and alot of good stuff from it was missed and not caught on tape sadly, but I guess it was alright.

Camera angles, we only have one camera(sony dcr-trv22e) and wanted it to look like we had 2 or something,
We edited in WMM, and wanted it to look as good as possible with WMM, the editing was ok in my opinon, since it was wmm.

so more comments please thanks, if I get lots of good ones, I'll post the higher resolution one, as it takes ages to upload to yousendit.

Great thanks man, really appreciate it, I guess the storyline is overdone, more feedback please, so we can learn from our mistakes biggrin.gif

Extra affects??? No, just standard WMM 2.1, well I think it's 2.1
Why, where are you on about?? with the extra affects, we just used standard WMM 2.1

But we have Studio now, and hopefully soon Premiere if not Pinnacle Studio is ok, so should definetly be better next time,

thanks for feedback, Really Appreciated

OK, about the editing, it's standard WMM, the newest version, what ever it is 2.1, 2.2, that's what we used, one of those versions, which ever is the newest WMM basically, but we are gonna use pinnacle for our next skit or whatever anyway.

so does this mean the editing is good? do you guys like it? or too much etc,

and what crazy view of a guy at the start? about what time into the movie was this?


and I was going to upload to disturbed films, but I didnt see the point I mean they have loads of Hunt3 footage on already, and incase people didnt like and stuff, I didn't really want this to be up for long anyway.

So the editing WMM, the newest version, nothing special ppl, seriously,

EDIT: sorry I haven't used quotes, btw.

Sorry for double post but I thought I didnt really answer everyone's questions about the editing so heres what I can answer.

About the red effect on the eye, the effect is called "HUE", there are different colours you can use, blue green, red etc, the eye effect was so you could see the reflection of the tree through my eye, the tree I'm talking about was the one at the end, in that field.

The zooming in and out on a pic or video,

it's just usually a pic, in fast motion, with the effect called "EASE IN/EASE OUT" you just speed it up and it looks pretty cool like it's actuall zooming,

and one more quesiton I don't understand:

[QUOTE]yeh, and tht crazy looking view from tht guy at start, thts not standard wmm

what crazy view??? thanks for questions keep them coming biggrin.gif

You definatly have editing skills... but like someone already said.. come up wth some more original stuff... and tone down with the special effects...it distracts away from the plot of the skit...By the way what was the actual plot? 90% of the vid was scenery...cool... if your a hippy...boring for your general audience...all in all not bad for your 1st skit...
