Really bad, heres why:

-No change of pace through the entire thing, boredom rose exponentially.
-There was a sudden increase in the vibrance of the music, but the video stayed slow as ever.
-5 minutes of slowmo stuff is only good if the scenes are actually dramatic, most of this wasn't
-Custom maps used weren't credited (booooo!)
-Odd scene underground makes no sense
-Terrible choice of music, strobing from 100% one speaker to 100% the other is stupid, so stupid that the person who decided to do it should have their balls straped to a machine that drags them one meter to the left, then one meter to the right, over and over and over.
-Camera movements weren't really smoothed at all, some quite clear jerks in there.

Generally sucked.

Pretty much agree with Icy over the first one, but the second one, (with the exception of the pyro eye transition) is a billion times better.

But still no custom map credits!!

EDIT: missed the third one: Better still, this one has some really dramatic shots, props to the good timing of the furnace creek one, catching the train as well :D

An Icy Mouse, lol you answered to my first (worst) video, that was posted 07-05-2009, 10:59 PM.

I just uped this thread, and I wanted to show you the third part. Watch this:

All custom maps were credited.
Yes, Youme, train was very suitable for the picture)

Just watched it (and commented on it, as well as liked.)

Very nicely done. Great song, great presentation, great editing.

The only real complaint is the after effects stuff (the matte and cut, whatever it is you use for the image crops... I don't know what after effects calls it since I use Motion) look a little out of place. You did just find with the smoothing clips, especially in the last half where you blend together the maps. Also, nice beginning with the medic gun.

All in all, I think I just found myself a new favourite tribute video. :)

So MACH FOOTAGE!

I really liked your transitions (The Sniper to Hydro one was.. acceptable :p) It's awesome to see the quality of these videos go up in leaps and bounds, I really liked your topic, the flow of TF2. The style was refreshingly... refreshing, no Synthcorey Power Songs playing along to Fast paced Headshots. Definitely a Mappers Video.

I think overall I enjoyed Wake the most, short and sweet, with some great shots. So that's something to go on..

Heh, that's how I found it. (totally not stalking Youme).

Actually it's sort-of hard to not see it when your name is first on tf2items.net, which I sadly check every day because I really do have no life.

WeGames has a download link. I have a copy since I like showing a few other Film Production friends the good stuff I find on the internet.
