Hopefully it shouldn't go too badly here (Have been getting positive feedback in other places.) Still kinda new to Sony Vegas, and recording stuff in general, so feedback would be awesome. But i hope everyone enjoys this. (I don't know know what title would be better for here, Either this or "A Darkwraith takes a peaceful stroll across Lordran...")
11 minutes long? seems like far too much
can't hear shit, captain also this is way too long and basically pointless
11 mins of walking towards a camera, sick.
So it's Dark Souls set to terribly unfitting music? I really don't see where the "like a GTA advert" comes in. It's literally like 10 minutes of you walking towards the camera. I can't hear anything and it's WAY too long. Even if it was 3 minutes it'd be pushing it because there is no variety... just endless walking. Frankly, it's boring and really has zero to do with a GTA advert.
I can't comment on the video much as it's an interesting project. What I can say, and I say it to nearly everyone, is make sure you're not setting sony vegas to interlacing or changing the framerate. Set the project to your source footage's framerate. If you're recording at 30, set vegas's project to 30. Also make sure the output is 30. This will solve the ghosting blurry issue. Or you can do the disable resample thing, but that avoids the problem.
I'm not dissing your talent or anything, but for an ad, it's 11 minutes long, and makes an already relatively niche game look even less interesting to people on the fence.
At 2:16 the song overlaps as you're trying to loop it. Otherwise it's a funny concept to me, just a little too long.

Perhaps i should had maybe put the title as "A Darkwraith takes a peaceful stroll across Lordran..." here, Although I'm not too sure. Both are pretty hit and miss.
You did seem to hit an audience not familiar with the UK GTA4 ad, but the reference aside, I'd agree that it just turned out too long. I get you were covering the whole game, but the premise wears off its welcome after the first minute or so. Also just a q: why did you release Dusk but not go to Oolacile? probably could have cut that bit :v:
Yeah, I noticed i missed the entirety of the DLC, The Crystal Caves, and the Great Hollow... and the painted world too (And the Bed of Chaos but fuck that guy). If i had put those in... your talking at least 15 minutes. Its one of those things that make you go "Fuck! I should had done that" after you upload the thing. Then again, The DLC areas and the Great Hollow are not required to finish the game. I didn't know anything about the Great Hollow until i was on my second character. Its a double edged sword really.
You know I completely missed that bed of chaos wasn't there! Anyway I was approaching from the other angle really - there should have been less, not more. Do you think the video would have worked with just a montage of the bosses for example? Because I believe that could have gotten the same premise across without outlasting its welcome.
