i could use some positive feedback on the video, on what to do better and such :D

oh, and yes, i made a mistake at the start, when they are supposed to walk, but they just wouldn't :(

Enjoy :)

If you were trying to make the viewer feel something (which you obviously were, don't try saying you weren't), it kinda fell flat. Protip: Never use your favourite music in a movie just because it's your favourite music. It has to fit well with the scene.

In this case, semi-upbeat music didn't work at all.

Oh and capitalise your damn titles. And don't put full stops on them.

[Uzerox]

well it wasen't my favorite music, i just thought it would fit a bit.
Semi up-beat music? please explain.
so I should capitalise all of the title or just the first letter in each word? :D
yes i was trying to make the viewer feel something, dunno what.. but just something :D

1) It didn't.

2) It was too fast with too strong a drum beat to fit with the scene, which seemed to be that of a sombre atmosphere.

3) Do it like you did in the thread title: The Damned City

4) It's a good idea to know what emotions you're trying to invoke (envoke?) in the viewers before starting to make a video.

Oh okay, well I will try to do better next time.
Thanks for the feedback :D

it kinda got ruined by the toolgun beams and the music. pretty good for a first try though.

[materialsafety]

A HD movie isn't in 4:3 format.

[Uzerox]

how to change it to other formats then? :o

yeh, i know it got ruined by the toolgun beams :(
and the music will change :D

Depends what software you're using.

If it's Movie Maker, Tools > Options

[Uzerox]

I'm using Sony Vegas :D

[CoolCorky]

In that case, look in render options. It can be accessed by clicking a button to the top-left of the preview window IIRC

[Uzerox]

oh okay, thanks man! :D

Not to mention, though, that if you're not recording in 16:10 or 16:9, and change it to so, it will cut off about 30% of the video to fill the space, or do what you have now, with the black border around a 4:3 square.
