First and foremost, no, this is not intended to serve as advertisement.
(But if you want to see more of this type of stuff, then I don't mind if you sub, js. :3)
The following is a purely cinematic creation, composed of a number of clips showcasing various scenery and structures from various Survival Games maps that can be seen on the MCGamer Network's Survival Games.
This was my most recent (third) creation of this type, and also my current favorite.
Next, my second cinematic/mini-montage. It's a compilation of various scenery from both Vanilla (Amplified) worlds, Survival Games maps/hubs/mini-hubs, as well as a few PvP clips. Not the most amazing clips, but still note-worthy.
Lastly, my first cinematic/mini-montage. I matched some of the clips (primarily the cinematics) to the song, such as when the singer mentions sky-diving, morning light, "last night", and I also added a nice little touch (IMO) in the Valleyside clip, where it decreases in brightness according to the (drum?) beats.
I'm primarily seeking out constructive criticism and suggestions.
(No hate, no flame, no dislike bots please and thanks xD)
The reason that I'm approaching the MCGamer community (particularly the forums) is because a lot of you guys (and gals!) know what you like, and don't like, particularly in edited videos like montages. Much of the active and participating community has seen a number of videos of this type, I would imagine, and know what does and does not work well with this sort of thing.
Specific points that I'm looking for advice on:
Timing (Synchronization with the music)
Pulsation (Yes or no: making the camera "jump" a tiny bit when there is a beat in the song, or a player is killed)
Transitions (Fade out/in? Cross-over?)
Cross-over length? 1 second? 15 frames? 10? 5? (I generally do 30 FPS, so 15 frames = 0.5 seconds)
Maps (Should I use Survival Games maps, vanilla worlds, or a combination of both?)
Montage V.S. Cinematic (Should I combine PvP clips with the cinematics like the three videos shown, or do them separately?)
Lyrics (Should I display some of the key lyrics in the video?)
Aaaaand other suggestions? Feel free to elaborate c:
