oVo™ Modern Warfare 3 TeamTage #3 // Insane

[TripleZeroOught]

I do appreciate your comment man, and I guess I should lighten up sometimes. And you're right, no-one gave me a very warm welcome but I guess I should thank you guys for that because this was my first forum and it prepared me for the community. I jsut spend a lot of time working with small time video makers and in general, I just hate seeing people bullying/trolling others, esp when its not warranted.

I see people writing "I know this isn't the best montage in the world, but let me know what you think" or "I know the clips aren't that great but.." and it just kills me that the CoD community has made unreachable standards, and is making creators who should be very proud of their work, doubt themselves from inception. I say screw that, I think every video I spend 30-50 hours making is the most amazing montage ever, and they should too. I also enjoy watching other's videos, even if its made in youtube's editor and has nothing but triples. And I think others should drop there standards and learn to enjoy watching another gamer's stuff. And if you don't, then don't come to the video section to discuss your lame opinions of CoD.

Some viewers don't have the slightest interest in editing, some might have limited experience and aren't aware of the work involved, and yet others can have lots of experience but look at montages for gameplay rather than edits, whereas many editors are less concerned about the gameplay than the editing. Likewise, there are editors who do keep the edits to a minimum and want to showcase their gameplay, while some folks watching the videos want to be entertained with complex edits.

So, regardless of how you look at it, there'll always be some inherent friction because of people approaching a video from opposite directions. I'm not a fan of lots of montages, for example, because - though I can appreciate the fact that lots of work went into making them - they come across as extended over edits to me. Part of the reason I'm not more experienced than I am is because I'm happy enough putting clips together in an order that flows well with the music, without worrying about changes in clip speed, color correction, and so forth, and I've had a few people tell me I'm lazy because of that.

For example:



Slightly more than 300 views, 4 likes, 2 comments, and I couldn't care less if it had 3 views, because I had fun making it and I still enjoy watching it from time to time, even though it's not even the greatest gameplay you can watch on YouTube.

Which brings me to another point... I do agree about the absurd standards some people have. I used to be subscribed to a number of sniping channels, and it always amazed me how many viewers would trash a video because it didn't have enough unbroken quad feeds and triple collaterals for the liking, and how many of the montage makers were consequently stressing out because they felt they had to play the game to get good clips rather than just to have fun.

Think about it... taking out four people very fast does take skill, but not having that feed interrupted by another kill somewhere else in the game has absolutely nothing to do with skill, and having three or more enemies line up just perfectly for a collateral also involves a good amount of luck. That's why I think it's very important people play for fun and then put the resulting clips together in a way that's fun for them, rather than play for clips and be under the pressure of unreasonably high and - in my opinion - misguided standards.

Thats the point exactly,people expect too much.

I enjoyed your vid though trip'.I've never watched any gameplay from BF,you had me interested for the full 5:30.Looked good.

I find that the fun factor of a montage has more of an effect on whether or not I like it than the quality of the clips. I think you can tell if someone had fun playing the game and making the video. For example, one of the sniper guys I'm still subscribed to is OpTic Predator, and when MW3 was released, he literally made like three montages in the first few days. People got upset that he was only doing it for views, because they weren't the highest quality clips and there was minimal editing. They were essentially "day-tages" he threw together.

On the other hand, I enjoyed watching them, because they conveyed a sense of fun, and they got me pumped up about playing the game. Meanwhile, there are three-minute montages where one half is just the intro and cinematics, and the other half is literally just a handful of clips that are all quad feeds and multi kill collateral. You could argue that such a video has a much higher concentration of quality, but when you make an entire video around such few clips, it does come across as forced.

Thanks for the compliment, by the way. I don't want to hijack his thread with my stuff, but since I'm criticizing, I might as well leave myself open to criticism, so if anybody wants to check out the other BF videos, here is the playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL287E9007CE1AECD3 The gameplay kind of bad in the first two, and you'll be bored if you enjoy edits, but hey, I try to be fun LOL

ok, i quit watching for a few reasons.

1. those clips f*cking suck. 2 or 3 missed shots per clip.

2. those enemies were TRULY idiots. in one clip you had enemies staring right at you and you had time to turn around, kill someone, then turn back around and kill the clueless ones.

3. the editing was annoying. get that crap out of the screen so i can see what is happening. turning the footage upside down and shit.

1. You can't even get a double for sure. 2-3 Missed shots, this is why I have 51% accuracy.

2. Certainly, I was playing with u.

3. I did not edit it, if u think u can do better. I'll send you a clip asap, and edit it.

Lol?


Id dick ride otis and his clips over your clips, though, dude. Otis is another level of player, to you.. to be honest. From Sniper rifles to full auto clips. Otis is more likely to be accused of a hacker than you are.

I dont think your clips are as bad as they are bashing you. But I do agree that some of the clips you should not have accomplished. But you did. due you you having the most shit opponents ever. lol.

Hum, well all I see into the editing is the cinematics with the guy moving. The clips were not either spectacular, it takes less skill to get a quad with Guns than a Sniper rifle. With the sniper rifle you need alot of accuracy. Your clips were repetitive and you were almost using same gun on each clip.

Blinded by your own failure. Why is it hard for you to say that Otis is more skilled than you? I can not do any of the stuff he did in the above clip other than getting a Mult-Kill with the Scar-L. And by using simplified logic, he can do more than I can do. Therefore, he is more skillful in MW3. I do not find it bad to be worse than Otis, I find it bad when I, goh13, do not TRY to become better than him.

Have some humility and logic. Although I do agree with you on the editing part.
