Im plannin to make Gmod videos , What are the "ERRORS TO ABSOLUTLY AVOID" ? - Garry's Mod

[QUOTE=GodlyT;21311128]Avoid the advice of ScoutKing. Do not be influenced by him. EVER[/QUOTE] giving advice on this would be a waste of time, actually typing this is a waste of my time, time I am gonna stop wasting right about... now... [editline]03:06AM[/editline] [QUOTE=FumplesAlt;21318994]Wezze, I recommend GodlyT's suggestion. IN addition, use Sony Vegas, no ABSOLUTELY NO HUD SHOULD BE VISIBLE, Catmull-Rom cameras should be used (and abused like me), The quality should be at least 480p-720p, and don't overuse static cameras or add boring material. Comedy is okay, it's overused but if done right can still get a laugh.[/QUOTE] Ill add onto this, be original with the comedy to.

[QUOTE=Vicious713;21313466]Too many people try to make these random videos, they take very little effort, and their really doing nothing but over saturating YouTube with tons of Crap. My advice to you, would be to simply "Don't Do It" Make something Original, and take advantage of Contraptions.. Do something like [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNKxhMS2rl4"]Diplomacy[/URL] or [URL="http://www.youtube.com/user/SqueegyMackoy"]SqueegyMackoy[/URL]'s Movies.[/QUOTE] Im not asking advices for doing something else ...

[QUOTE=GodlyT;21330659]No-one wants your advice[/QUOTE] Agree'd

[QUOTE=Wezze;21332055]Agree'd[/QUOTE] I dont feel too bad, a french man, who likes to bump his threads constantly dosn't seem..

I usually hate the advice of Scoutking, but he's absolutely right on the matter of "random" videos and BoSchitt/kitty0709-like ones

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;21333865]I usually hate the advice of Scoutking, but he's absolutely right on the matter of "random" videos and BoSchitt/kitty0709-like ones[/QUOTE] why im not bothering giving too much advice here, because this guy is just some french guy who likes to bump every 5 posts, and thinks he can be the next "DZZ BULL SHIZZ" hopefully he can learn one thing from this thread, STOP BUMPING

Get a script planned out before you start, or you will end up: A) Downloading useless crap you think you will use in a movie but won't B) Fuck about in Gmod while you think of something, then get distracted and forget. I would know >_>

[QUOTE=FumplesAlt;21335558]LOL i do the exact same thing[/QUOTE] I do this for anything, with out a script, its like a blind man who cant hear trying to land a plane.

Actually to be honest almost every movie I have made was improvised.. but when I try and take on larger ones that i sort of want to do but not really, I just say f it.

That was a satirical movie right?

[QUOTE=Eggy;21345264]That was a satirical movie right?[/QUOTE] No , this is a "Serious" movie. Not made my me.

Holy crap. I thought it was a staged example of Gmod Chicken.

I see that i scared everybody with this sample of what i wanted to avoid.

Or they have no more advice to give until they see a WIP.

Oh , The video is just a idea , i will relase it this summer when i will have time ( and no school lol )

[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;21386653]If you include a tf2 character, edit the voice commands so it sounds like that character! for inspiration, check youtube for 'Scout is delicious'[/QUOTE] Yeah i've seen this lot of time , but i think that i wont make them talk...

Some advice: 1. No Memes (you probaly already know that) 2. Try to avoid being to random. 3. If making a joke, dont make it too long and stretch it out for an un-necessarily long amount of time, it will make your video boring and ultimately not fun to watch. 4. Dont go crazy with intro titles and stuff, there are some videos that are just 1 minute of intro titles and only 2 minutes of the real video. 5. try to avoid actors, they usually suck (unless they are VERY experienced) 6. Dont rely on faceposer glitches to make your video funny. 7. BE 8. ORIGINAL 9. (Repeat 7 and 8)

I Will make arround 8 min for the whole video ( Including 30 seconds for intro and arround 45/60 seconds for Credits ) For the 7 and 9 , i have some good ideas that i haven't see in the "Idiots of gmod" and "Idiot gmod box" , so... Actualy , with the Intro , credits and the ideas that i have , i can film only 3 minuts , so... XD [QUOTE=Eggy;21384835]Or they have no more advice to give until they see a WIP.[/QUOTE] The video is not really in progress , actually im just thinkng about ideas to write the script of vid , and testing things with Sony Vegas and the addons posted in this topic...

[QUOTE=Ghostwork;21146794]That was an excellent analogy, I accept that. It's just that you used boschitt's name, I thought you were going to take after him like the forty thousand other people. And another question- Are you going to be making something that is a series of short skits each punctuated by a burst of static?[/QUOTE] DasBoSchitt's not bad at all. I've laughed more at his videos than anything else on Youtube that I've seen in awhile. He's not perfect, but he's damn good, and I'd like to see you try to make anything like what he's made.

dasboschitt isnt bad at all, his copiers are.

Bump. This one will be usefull,lol. I really started working yesterday , im searching musics that will fit to my ideas , like video games ost or things like that. Does Halo 3 ost sound great ? EDIT : About the name of the video , i was thinking about something begining by "The" , with "Gmod" in it. Like " The Meaningless Gmod ............" but i dont know what word put in the ................. Any idea ?

don't name it 'the meaningless gmod video' or anything with meaningless, if it has that in it chances are it's meaningless, and even so it turns me away just because it looks like a robot chicken vid.

You really need to re-think the idea...

The "meaningless" was given by a friend , when i asked him ideas for a name , so.... i can't use "random" , or "movie" , it will sound crap . Can't use 'idiot' , or 'box', or "Meaningless" ... i think about a thing like " The *Insert a word here* gmod *insert another word here* "
