SWBFGamers

I would like to hear some input about what type of videos you guys like to see.

Shorter videos with editing and effects. Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LN8K89G4EQg

OR

Longer videos with less editing. Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOlGT0D5bew

I personally think effects distract from the content. You know, "Less is more" and all that.

I'd pick longer videos with less editing that's just my preference. I like some transition effects though, but I hate effects used during the kill clip itself. They almost always "ruin it" for me as the viewer.

Edited videos are way better, they look mroe professional

Hehe, I guess I like edits etc. Here are some of my all time favorite SWBF movies that I watch multiple times.

Lest We Forget: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11T5UvF_Enw&sns=4  (watch in full HD, it looks amazing )

SIM.PICTURES-Showreel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTXCeV_ZS50&sns=em    This just shows what simp was working on at the time, but I really like it. Also watch in HD. :P

And just watch all of Deagle's SWBF video's. They are all great, I watch those all the time.




So for my final "things I like to watch ramble" I will say this,
I love watching 3-4 min. movies with awesome kills, nice edits that add effects, and music that goes along with what you are watching. (See Lest We Forget for a perfect example)



I guess that's the opposite of everyone else, but hey, I also like the prequels so... :shrug:

I prefer raw originality over 'professionally edited', I personally think the kills look better when unaltered by video effects. Mods in the video though, I am all for.

Well, tell me a video which for u is so bad, bcuz of the frags taken

Btw Kitfisto, ofc u like that video. Frags are taken by 7LIVES Members (Best SWBF2 Clan)

No idea what that means.

Never mind.

Were you talking about how the quality of a montage (or other assembly of clips) is determined by the quality of the clips being assembled?  If so, I agree.  If you weren't, I'll say it.

no xD, thats why i said nvm, it was a question i cannot even make on spanish LoL

I choose neither. :)
I like to see a variety of videos, the heavily edited ones look great and I enjoy watching them. The minimalist ones that are just gameplay footage usually have something interesting to see.
If I had to make a choice I would say have heavily edited intro clip (flying around maps with freecam etc) and then lots of different gameplay clips after.

I'm with Gdh :P

Agreed with gdh. :P

I agree with these statements, the effects ruin it for me. It makes it harder to see exactly what skill was involved and even if it is legitimate.

i would like a combination of both really, but no too many effects. a few well placed effects can make a video vary good, but too many and its just gets in the way

Thank you guys for the input. I think I will try to do a variety of videos. For some of my better clips I will do a bit more editing to enhance the viewing experience rather than just editing for the heck of it (Because it takes away from the view of the kill). For the less impressive clips I will try to put them into fragshows with less editing. Thanks again!
