I'm going to give you advice here 343N, you're trying too hard to seem better than him right now and it's kind of embarrassing.
The OP has probably hung himself or whatever, but I think i'll give some CC.
First of all, don't have an intro. It ruins immersion and wastes time.
You have Steam friends popping up. As you said, you didn't expect it. But just redo the shot.
Your characters hardly move, if not awkwardly. Stop motion is a good way to counteract this.
A burned dead guy suddenly turned in to Bill. This is a large continuity error and should've been picked up in shooting or post production.
The plot makes no sense. 'Aftermath' pops up, so you think it may be some kind of zombie film. But then a bomb goes off, which implies it whatever happened isn't over, so it's not really aftermath. Then you drop the entire idea of aftermath and have the burned zombie turn in to Bill and go after a PS3. Then he gets pills and so on. You need to improve on communicating ideas to the audience.
There's nothing in it that makes me want to continue watching. A simple work towards a goal would fix this.
You bombard the audience with memes used the wrong way.
Suddenly a combine officer appears.
That's where I stopped. 2:35 minutes in. Here's a Machinima I made:
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTCqbQiRPlc[/media]
You'll notice that it's 1:33 minutes long, which means I'm not dragging it on.
The first 46 seconds are simply shots of the vehicle, and it driving a track, with music that progresses. This keeps the audience watching as they feel like progress is being made and that the vehicle is getting somewhere.
The plot is simple: A vehicle exists, is used, then is destroyed.
I communicated with the audience clearly what was going on, what they would expect, and what happened.
All of that was made in a few hours out of a few vague ideas and some clips ([url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdryGWjvcjE]the full reel is here[/url]).
Holy shit. Where do i start? Well then, let me see here. Mrkaki, what you obviously think you claim that, that was my reaction to that helpful comment, your blantly wrong. When i typed that comment i hadn't been responding to just him, but to other comments before him, and i was agreeing to what he said, and i said multiple times afterwards, that i thank everyone and anyone who gave helpful comment. Can you not read? So everyone seems to judge my english, what the fuck is wrong with you people, im sorry, but either you all have poor abilities of reading and analysing what a person has to say or said, or you all type before you fucking think, sorry, but if so, thats pathetic, and i most certainly am not talking to everyone here, certain people. Interesting, Jookia, i like what you said, but i think you've thinked it wrongly, to a point. I only had 1 or 2 steam friend pop ups, it was occasional. I had characters moving but, you didnt bother to watch the full video, so i rest there, If you had watched the first video, AFTERMATH, meant the destruction of the nuke at the final part of he video, i had said originally that the second video takes after the nuke, and the zombie, played as bill, who originally gets burned from an explosion in the first video, turns back into bill, as a joke. Then sees a ps3 as a random, and spots pills, the joke was that he found pills and louis would attack him. Which is what happened. The bomb went off because it was rememberance as to what had happened at the last part of the first video, implying that the map is remnants from a nuke blast. A combine officer appears because he is watching the events, between bill and louis. Can no one here use there imagination? To much to type.
[QUOTE=Megafanx13;31739989]Either English is not your first language, or you're just awful at typing.[/QUOTE] It says he is from the US... And uses IE...
Ohhhh, i say, either i talk to people with no brain or imagination or people love to criticize, or what. Sad. Haven't i also said before that i expected criticism and accpeted it? So why would people drag on? This argument of me not accepting criticism? MY guess is no one can read? At least what i have to say, must be the instituionalized indoctrination the schools put on people, oh well.

I recall, I.E, means IN EXAMPLE? Smart ass.
Agree, 343N, thank you.
Jesus christ, you're too retarded to use the internet. Somebody needs to contact your parents and take your computer away.
GeneralAring, you're making a damn fool of yourself. I don't care if you think that you're a directing genius, the video was in fact NOT funny. We've all said it. It was pretty god awful. You could have put years into it, I don't care. It's shit. Accept the fact that you're not talented in the field of Machinima. Normally, I'm more accepting and try to encourage people, but it's blatantly obvious that you're lacking in both the editing and producing skills, along with the people skills required to be a good video maker on this forum. Frankly, "Random" humor can be pulled off by very few (DasBoSchitt being one of them). It's a stupid sense of humor, but with the right execution, it works. You can't pull off that kind of execution. Please, stop posting videos until you've improved your quality ten fold.

[QUOTE=Unib5;31741178]Internet Explorer, he meant.[/QUOTE]
You're a ninja, Harry!
He was talking about Internet Explorer, not to mention that I.E. means "That is," (stands for Id Est).
I'm going to add you to friends so I can discuss the video with you while keeping it calm. These threads are getting out of hand.
My steam name is Mr. Grumps, so if you'd like to talk then accept me.
Hang on, lemme get my bro to review this, he's a expert to YouTube videos, being 12 and all.
[I]Wow, just wow. That. That was godawful. I simply cannot understand how a 17 year old could create this aborted fetus of a video. I could do better Gmod vids, and you know how our comp views gmod. [Our computer shows models and such go flying off into some indeterminable distance.] Terrible concepts, posing, and as a super special bonus, you get to see gordon freeman kick the air 25 times while the goddamned Sparta remix plays for it's entirety, and a shitty effect that doesn't even fit the screen! So many shitty things in the video I thought I was watching the gmod version of 2girls1cup. Go ahead and show this on fp too, maybe the creator will get it through his thick skull that "lololo sO RaMBdum!lolo" isn't funny. Bluh. [/I]

Avatar fits, he is clearly [i]pants on head retarded[/i]
Im not making a fool of myself at all. I think people who read posts, wrongly, are the fools, because obviously they cant analyse critically what a person said, and you just did the same thing, No party hats. Never have i said i was a directing genius, and i could really care less if my videos are shit, all i can do is get better, have i not said that? And also have i not said that i accept the criticism? So wtf are you or anyone still harping on anyone or me for? For me, in comparison to the first video, the second is better, but as ive stated before, i can only get better WITH THE fucking right encourgement, and no negativity which people FAIL to see when they type, again probably not thinking before you type? and also just out-calling people a "jackass", "a fail, "quit making videos", "delete your youtube account", "break your computer", "Oh i claim you didn't mean this or that" "So now i'll harp on you, aring". This is exactly what the fuck im trying to say, it's those thoughts right there, are of a sense of negativity towards a person, even if though he or she may think its advice, it isn't! And if you knew that IE, meant In example, if you had a brain, then, typing what you know of what it is, in this case internet explorer, but not what i actually meant, you'd agree that i said in example for what i typed. This is ridiculous, i already accepted the criticism in my first video, people, really, think of it this way, folks, criticism=judgemental-ness.
343N, to what i was agreeing with you, was what you had posted below your video. Bucko.
This is also, all throughout this thread, even the first thread.
GeneralAring, like I said earlier I want to talk to you about the video in person detail to detail about it. That's why I added you to steam friends.
So, can you accept me on steam so we can talk about it while keeping this argument to a null?
You obviously don't accept criticism if you're so upset about it.
I understand that you accept the criticism about your first video, now it's time to understand that your second video sucks just the same.
Ok, now i have watched it a couple times, so let me see if i got the story straigth.
First, you have a zombie that does not know where he is (While on gm_construct), wich suddenly turns into Bill, wich sees a PS3, and is happy, then sees pills behind PS3, wich makes Louis come to fight Bill for the pills, then suddenly a combine is watching it from the white room, and then Francis pops our of nowhere and gets hit by a car.
After that, the combine explodes out of the white room, wich is covered by a wall, and starts yelling (?) at Bill and Louis for fighting, and then Francis uses his AWP to shoot him. Then Zoey shows up, for then to never be seen again. Then, Francis shoots Bill and Louis, before going into a fight with the combine, who is not dead after all, and the spasm into the white room, where they are suddenly teleported to Black Mesa.
In Black Mesa, the combine is never seen again, but Gordon Freeman stands there, and then Master chief pops up, and they start fighting, before some monster thing shoots a rocket at them, and then Francis turns into a girl, and flies towards the monster, so Gordon and Master Chief can continue fighting.
Then, Master chief beats up Gordon, but suddenly Gordon kick Master chief after teleporting behind him, and that kick is repeated for 3 minutes with the This is Sparta remix going twice. Then its all over.
[B]This is not a good story. This is random mess that does not make sense, and is not funny. You should really improve your story, by adding a beginning, main part, and end, and having events in those parts, and not random things happening all the time.[/B]
Then for the video quality.
From the beggining, all the movement is either one part that is not frozen, random throws, or random spasms. This is not really funny, and could be improved, by putting a little more effort in it.
You add random filters on top of the video at some points, for example where Francis is hit by the car, first it hits him, nothing happens, he says he is invincible, and then a filter is applied... Not really funny. It would have been funnier, if the car hit him, and he ragdolled under it or something (Though that is not really funny either, but atleast better than nothing happening), and then not applying any filters, because random filters does not improve the quality at all, it just says "lolll so randub XDXD <3<3"...
I'm not gonna write any more, but you see the point... The story makes no sense, the execution is bad, and it simply is not good. I have not watched the first, and i do not want to, as you said this was and improvement. I tried to add good paragraphs in here, but i'm not really good with them, so i hope this was not too "Wall of text".

You are like a teacher, except you're Barrack Obama, bravo.
In case you were wondering, Mr. Aring, IE means Internet explorer, the browser you use. I.E. Means In Example. In case you were wondering, there is a period in-between the I and the E, and another one next to the E to explain that it is a abbreviation. Mr. Fantafuzz did not use periods between the I and E, so he must be referring to Internet Explorer. You would know this if you had any sort of knowledge concerning the fine intranets we use.
Meanwhile, you say that you never explicitly stated that you are a filming genius, yet still your behavior concerning this issue makes us think that you do believe that these videos are amazing content, what with you acting like a dick to anyone who tries to make a insightful comment/criticism, which instead fuels any sort of "shit vid end yourself" comments. My advise to you is to learn about the Internet, and stop acting like a 12 year old DA "artist".
BUT THAT'S WHERE YOU ARE WRONG, MISTER NANB WITH PERIODS IN BETWEEN TO SHOW IT'S AN ABBREVIATION! I.E. actually is an abbreviation for the latin phrase for "That is", which is Id Est!
Also, what i had meant about accepting criticism, what i had been saying is that i accept it on both videos, if it seems that i mean one, what i was actually saying is that i mean both or whatever it is , i the case. Just so no one seems or is confused.
[B]Moral of this story:[/B] The truth hurts.
Ok. What I'm trying to say is that if this is improvement over your first, you're going to need to work long and hard for a presentable video. Just develop a better story and take all the precautions that most Machinima makers do, and you may just be acceptable here.

You ment that what you had been saying made it seems like you meant one, when you actually ment both or whatever, you are the case?
My behavior is in twined, with nothing to show that my videos are amazing. Why would you say that, if you think thats the cause, iv'e looked over a hundred times of what people had said about the videos, and yet i said i do not care, for it, and it isn't even like that im going to keep creating the same shit over and over and over. So no one should think that, that is the concern for how i respond, because in this case, of how this thread has escalated, and how and so much that ive had to respond to, and alot in one post, to multiple users, who should know who i am talking to, at that post time, you only think that the concern of me acting towards my behavior as i post is how i respond, in this, it isn't if people could read, which from what ive read, alot of people had been mis-directed as to what i had been saying, because they said, "wow learn english", i know fluent english, that obviously leads me that they cant analyse what i had posted at that time. Which is when, then after, i get back-lashed for it, and this is how this thread has escalated by.
What i was saying, fantafuzz, is that all along of WHAT i had been saying in this, thread which PEOPLE obviously mistaken me for talking about my first video, i have said multiple times, that i already accepted the criticism for video 1 & 2, but people mis-directed me for JUST aiming towards video ONE, which has now, after all said, been an on-going Battle, here, when i said that i accepted criticism for this video, too. People, kept going and going, then it was a mere, learning thing, people think i cant spell, have no grammar, bad english, to me that says that, this person must not have good analysation skills. And the sorts, out of all that posted, im tired as fuck, sorry, but im going to bed, 7 am, and yall keepin my ass up, idc for what anyone said, because in mind i accepted, and love everyone, it's just, argument's tend to persist to those that love to argue, and as i was trying to teach, when people thought i wasn't, i was mis-directed. GOOD day. thanks.
Agreed, no party hats.

Fluent english my ass. It looks like you haven't graduated sixth grade yet. As for you trying to teach us? Nope, all you've been doing is crying like a little baby that we are in fact wrong for saying your video is horrible. Word of advice, the truth hurts. The only way to keep going is to not let it get to you.
