I make tribute videos
 

Hey guys, thought I would just share this with ya. I made a MGS Tribute video YouTube - Metal Gear Solid Tribute tell me what ya guys think. You will notice it's pretty different from most MGS tribute videos where all of them use the MGS main theme. That is the reason I did not use it for this one. I wanted it to stand out on its own with my vision. So sorry fellow MGS fans no main theme in this one. Tell me what ya think though! Any criticism is welcome :D

Resident Evil VGMV
 

Sup guys, My 2nd Video Game tribute is done YouTube - Resident Evil New Age Tribute which is a tribute/look at the new school Resident Evil so please no posts complaining there isnt any old school RE in here lol. I'm aware of that as it was intended. Maybe one day I will do an old school tribute. Anyway hope you guys like it and as always any crticism on the video is welcome :D

It's a bunch of clips of Resident Evil games with music

How is this a tribute

don't you see?

that is tribute!

I don't really

truly the best way to celebrate an interactive experience

This looks more like you stealing men's souls and then making them your slaves.

Lol well thanks for the criticism guys. What exactly did you not like about the video? As posted any criticism is welcome as it helps with future videos.

Additional Spam:
What do you mean by this exactly? :/

Basically, I have never understood the concept of how making a montage of clips from something and setting it to music is a tribute. To me, a tribute is something a lot more involved, like making a game that is a reimagining of the original material, or making a short film.

All that clips from game are to me is "These are clips from the game that I like". No matter how well you edit it it's still just a bunch of random shit put next to each other.

It's the same reason behind how I don't understand AMVs, since they're pretty much the same thing.

ok so your problem was more with the idea of the video and calling it a tribute. I can see where you're coming from we all have different views on it.

Uncharted VGMV
 

Sup guys, my 3rd video game tribute/music video is up YouTube - Uncharted Drake's Tribute This time it's to the Uncharted series. It's nice , short, and simple straight to the point. Tell me what ya think and as always criticism is welcome :D

Stop making new threads for each of these.

Could you do one for Linkin Park and Naruto? That would be absolutely super.

You ask and you shall receive, thanks for the thread merge this make it's easier. In regards to the linkin park and naruto thing.... there are thousands of those lol. Also right now I'm focusing on game music videos and not anime music videos sorry.

Perhaps the same could be said of all tribute videos...

I'm taking Krelian's lead and assuming you take requests. I was hoping you could do a tribute to my favorite board game The Settlers of Catan. I would make one myself but I think someone with experience could do a better job.

Definitely, I'll get the HD cam ready and hire some actors who can pretend they like the game while I film them playing. Then I'll edit it and add in some awesome taylor swift music (I think that's what kid's listen to these days) And it will be epic!

"Pretend" to like Settlers? :confused:

lol I was being sarcastic :p

I used to make AMVs. But looking back I never really considered them a tribute. It was more an excuse to just see some cool parts of the series without having to sit through the whole thing again.

Hahah that's a good way of putting it as well

I think your MGS video really captured the spirit of the series, what with it consisting of a load of FMV and no gameplay footage at all.

Your clips are as empty as your soul! Mankind ill needs a tribute video such as you!

Well my 4th video game tribute is up. This time it's DMC4, I tried to step it up with this one. I used some digital effects as well as added some of my own sound effects for a bigger impact in some of the fight scenes. I also took some criticism from other videos and added some faster cuts to the timing. Let me know what you think and as always any criticism is welcome! :D

YouTube - Final Fantasy VII: The Last Soldier

Another new one I just did, this time FFVII:AC. Hope you enjoy!

You say in the description that this one is trailer style, but this would make a terrible, terrible trailer. Essentially what you've done in cut a load of the moody scenes over the slow bit of the music and then a load of action segments over the shouty bit of the music. The whole thing is horribly disjointed though, there's no cohereance between the shots you've chosen, it's like you've just cut out a ton of fight moves and then pulled them out of a hat at random.

On top of that, you've committed the worst cardinal sin of giving away the ending in the trailer. The whole point of Advent Children when it came out was obviously to have Cloud fighting Sephiroth in HD. None of the rabid fanboys really gave two shits about the silly plot, they just wanted to see Cloud fighting Sephiroth. As such, the film is one long tease, building up a huge will they, won't they until finally at the end, Sephiroth appears and fights Cloud and all the fanboys shoot their loads.

By putting actual shots of Sephiroth in and by putting them in the middle of the video, you've taken away all that suspense. If this was a trailer, I'd expect it to have ended halfway through with Sephiroth saying Hi to Cloud and you wouldn't have seen his face.

Honestly, it's like you've never actually seen a film trailer before.

I never said it was intended to be a trailer just edited in trailer fashion. All the fans, well most of the fans have seen the movie so showing what I showed is no problem. I said it is a tribute/look back on the movie just edited in trailer fashion. But hey any opinion and criticism is welcome. Some people thought the video was perfect and awesome, some thought it was just done right and some didn't like it. Just as I expected :D thanks for your time and feedback though

I tried so hard and got so far

Then all of Shin's criticisms are still completely valid. I never honestly thought I'd run into one of you people here on GFF. The kind who honestly believe that when they're told by someone on Youtube "You did a fantastic job!!!" that it should be taken at face value.

Dude. Give it up. You've posted multiple times, been told by many people that what you are doing is randomly cutting together clips from something you like and setting them to god awful music, and every time we tell you why it's not what you say it is you change what it is for the next time.

I like how automatically assume that whole Youtube part however it's expected. Unless I'm breaking any of the forum rules though I don't intend to "Give it up" :D

You're one hell of an optimist, I'll give you that.

Praises and bouquets sure feel good, but ultimately you do not learn anything from them.

Shin and Mo0 were giving constructive criticism. Although they may sound harsh, they only want you to be the best that you can be, Freddy! :)

Everytime a negative comment was posted I still thanked them for their feedback as I said any kind of criticism is welcome. I never took it personally lol.

The point I was trying to make (and I made it badly last night) was that if you go around and ask the entire Internet how they like it, you're going to find people who absolutely love whatever you do because they're stupid and think "I like Advent Children, and this video has Advent Children, therefore I like this video!"

You don't see that thought process, you see "awesom vid were did u get the song????"

You seem rather intent to keep on keepin' on (a rare trait around here to not get butt hurt when you crash land on some fraction of the forum that decides to make fun of you) and I respect that. I'm just trying to point out that if you're expecting us to change our tune about those videos, you're going to have to change the videos.

this advent children trailer is good, see how you combined different clips of shocked people with the voice saying they are sick. Good shit.

I see what you're saying and I'm not trying to like change your guy's minds by doing some jedi mind trick lol. You definitely made your point and laid out your opinion. Even though it was a opinion of pretty much hating the videos you at least took the time out to explain why and I can respect that. I also see your point with the comments and what not. But really I do this for fun as I have tons of fun making them so even if one person gives me the usual fanboy comment "ohshiet ff7 rules" I'm still gonna make them and post them just because I have fun doing some. Either way I'm not here for some flame war or debate by any means.

* Waves hand over Freddy's face *

You want to emphasize quality over quantity.

Nah, he just needs to use Lolis!

Lol NO
