HL2 Music Video I made

[Elusid]

Ok so I made a Half Life 2 music video and I want to know what people think about it. I have it so you can view it at youtube, google video, or download as MP4

Watch it on Youtube
Watch it on Google Video
Or even download it

I don't mean to be a cockmonkey, but this is a prime example of why I don't like game music videos. They're completely random clips set to music, with little rhyme or reason.

 

[Geogaddi]

Is that DJ Tiesto?

 

[joule]

Very well done overall. I dug the music, slo-mo shots, the video editing, and transitioning. Though I would've liked to have seen some coast footage and maybe buggy/waterboat. And the ending felt rather abrupt. Other than that, impressive work. Now compile a music video for Episode One!

 

[Selkcip]

It's cool and I like the slomo effects, but I'm sorry to say I'm Still Seeing Breen reins as king.

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

I agree with Selkcip.
Its still good, I didn't like any of the music though. And I can't believe you wasted a happy-little fun ball on a zombie!
7/10.

Ha thanks. Yea I wanted to do one of JUST HL2 not a mix of stuff from different games like that. I know they are practly the same thing but not to me. And yes that first part is DJ Tiesto. And yes I have seen that one music video but like I waid I wanted to do all ingame things. I wanted to show what the game was like

MORE SLOW-MO FOOTAGE PLEASE! :smoking: That was amazing when it showed the combine and that crazy sniper-pistol. Good job!

 

[Elusid]

Thank you Yea this is my first Video Game music video... in fact this is my first time working with video editing... Well any ways I am prob going to make another one at some point in time when I have more experience

 

[Asuka]

I liked it. Not bad at all. Thx for that.

IMO it was good up until Alyx's "Let's get out of here" then I felt it kinda lost something, and then it was just Ok. So good/ok is my judgement.

 

[kacation_man]

you know... it was ok... seeing im into video editing it was very elementery... random shots such as this one: http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a383/kacation-man/Untitled-1copy.jpg are the kind of shots that should be taken out because it shows nothing but a box floating in water and a pipe... I loved the slomo shot of the zobime gushing alien blood from its head!! that was cool! didnt care for the music though... this makes me want to do a video... i need to get a copy of that adobe program i cant rememer the name of...

Well, overall it wasn't GREAT, but... SLOW-MO REVOLVER!!!!one!

 

[Elusid]

Thanks for the comments I know the editing was elementry. Like I said it was my first attempt at it. I had this section where it was split diagonally across the screen and both were playing something different but I was starting to run out of ideas for things to record. A lot of the reasons why there are those random clips is because I needed something to fill it in. My next video I will find the best shots possible.

Just goes to show that people have different opinions. I was trying to make it apeal to everyone and this shows that two people liked different parts

I liked the video..how did u get slow mo?

 

[MiccyNarc]

Up the tempo of the video to match the music.

 

[J_Tweedy]

Agreed, some of the shots were too slow paced, others were really good.
I think also maybe too much footage using stationary cameras, also filming stationary scenes. THese should only really be at the start of the vid.

Other than that, COOL!

 

[DESSTROYER]

The screen flashing black was quite annoying. Other than that, it was decent.

 

[Elusid]

In command console I set... something like host_time_scale = .01 or something around there to z and host_time_scale = 1 to x so I could switch bacn and forth between them

EDIT: I didn't see there was another page Well others I talked to liked the black so again it goes to show that ppl have different tastes.

 

[99.vikram]

It was teh awesome :thumbs:

 

[Elusid]

Thank you Hey does any one know if there is a way in HL2 to make is so that everything moves in slo-mo except you? I have seen a video that did it once but I think they use a mod nο? Also is there a way to set a focus point so that the camira is always pointing to a spicific location? It would be really cool
