Don't watch if you haven't finished the game. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-jjDLEuKeE&feature=youtube_gdata_player[/media] So this is my entry. I'd love for you to tell me what to improve. And yes, I know the end is kinda badly-done and random, but bear with it. Not saying this is the best, or even good at all. But it was fun making it, figuring out where to shoot, and I noticed new things ingame. It's great practice for when I make something that I really put my heart and soul into.
Neat.
To be honest, if you're looking to win and not for fun, I don't think any of these ingame ones are going to win
it felt pretty choppy the way you put it together, and it was just scenes of the game's levels stuck together. doesn't really feel that original and was kind of bland, actually.
Scene switched much too fast, also i don't see the point in entering this contest when essentially all people can do with this song is take shots of portal 2 with this song playing attempting to evoke some sort of emotion out of the viewer.

Then do better, because I could make a better one with cat shit all over my screen.
[QUOTE=Death_God;30554799]Then do better, because I could make a better one with cat shit all over my screen.[/QUOTE] Prove it.
I think I'll do this contest. I need a new guitar and Portal 2 swag would be great :buddy:
You won't build up any atmosphere with the FoV at 90
Conro, how did you hide the Portal Gun when doing levels after you find it? Can't seem to figure out. [editline]1[/editline] Just kidding, r_drawviewmodel 0 :h:
Turn cheats on, then type impulse 200 you're gonna be typing that a lot

It saddens me how people are stitching together trailer footage and adding the music and calling it an entry. People are even liking it too :sigh:

I feel like by the 15th there's going to be so many of them that Valve might just skip over all of them because they know it's not what they want
Ugh.. these videos for the video contests for valve games (Saxxy awards, and portal 2) are just awful and painful to watch.
You need to make your own stuff, something that will make it stand out from the hordes of similar videos, as many people lack the skill to create their own things, therefor they just basically make a scrapbook sort of video. Yours isn't very good.
I had no idea a contest was going on until after I made this video for a school project. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV75LO3OYzo[/media] I know it's boring during the video clips because I got really lazy. I'll fix that later. Other than that, what should I improve/fix?

Plz correct me if I'm wrong.
You're trying too hard.
Why should I care about your entry for a Portal 2 contest? [sp]Its a joke relating to my name, not an actual comment.[/sp]
