The Good

- The storytelling feel (intro, different songs with different moods)

- The music selection (but probably because I've been listening to New Divide A LOT lately lol)

- Transition effects (except for one, see below)

Ok, here's the critique, please consider it as opinions on perfecting what is evidently good editing potential that's already there.

1) WAAAY to much cross-fading/cutting, gives sense of erratic pacing (only part that I got a strong sense of cohesion was the Jagd spawn exit sequence)

1a) doesn't feel like you're taking advantage of slow-mo/cam angle changes as pacing tools

2) too many "slow-mo/change camera angle" for "normal" kills (1:39, 2:45, 4:59 to name a few) - save those for special kills, like through walls or multi-kills or incredible reflex/timing shots

2a) also, letting viewers see the kill notifications and then using the slow mo/cam angle to highlight the kills makes it easier to understand the flow of your vid (e.g. 3:08) otherwise with all the other numerous cuts it looks like it's part of a different sequence

3) if you want to link lyrics for special effects (e.g. "Flash" @ 1:50) use them to highlight something like potential shellshock moments or muzzle-flash from a kill or blend into another kill sequence

4) Massive blur should be avoided. Always. Even if you use them as transitions. Viewer should always have some "clarity" to follow (I thought 4:38 sequence was good use of limited blur)

5) There's a lot of switching back and forth by map - group your sequences by map (if there are many) over kill type, it helps keep a smoother flow to your vid

6) Not sure why you did the transitions to earlier version of the maps (2:40 - thunder and 4:51 old jagd) - thought you were going to show wireframes to highlight reaction speed/anticipation, however t just looked odd and broke the flow since it's a historical reference that people won't get unless they freeze on the frame.

7) And last but not least... And this is the most opinionated comment (but something I would suggest for anyone doing vids), don't use a kill just to have a kill. Less is more. Single-normal kills makes the vid waters down a highlight vid. If you don't have enough kills to fill your time, then use effects to stretch it out. In the end, it's really about the WOW factor in the kills and not the number of them.

Again, take from this what you want.

Looking forward to your next vid Tate!

There was a lot of transitioning ... and a lot of the scenes were in dark places making it hard to see what was going on

Over all it was a pretty awesome video! I've gotta send my demo's to you to see how you can make me look badass lol

Sweet video!

I dig it a lot - while there were lots of transitions, my personal opinion is that they were done in such a way that made for really good watching. I felt they helped take me from one place to another without making me realize it.

Song selection was good too!

      jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
