andytb United Kingdom180 Posts December 01 2011 20:17 GMT #1 Hey! This is the first time I've attempted to put together a coherent video to sum up an event, and I think it's turned out pretty well so I would like to share. The overwhelming feeling I had walking away from the event was a warm dreamy glow so I hope the music reflects that. If you have an eye for videography, I'd love some feedback on how to do this sort of stuff better as It was a lot of fun to film and make Cheers Andy

blae000 Norway1640 Posts December 01 2011 21:02 GMT #10 Yeah, I feel like this needs spotlight so everyone can see that amazing shot a hero on the stage at the end! SO amazing!

legatus legionis Netherlands559 Posts December 01 2011 21:03 GMT #11 That was amazing man. When you are walking through the event you see places a stream viewer would never expect to even be there. Looking around as if we are there. Alternating the shots was done quite right in my opinion. Sometimes or many times you see for example looking over the shoulder of a player too long as if the focus can even go into what he's doing inside the game rather than how he is there physically. You could argue that after the game in the stadium some shots were lasting too long but since it provided such a unique perspective I don't think that's fair to do. Loved the lens. Wondering what it looks like if you "correct" it when you are watching the screen from the bottom. You see that in programs sometimes that you can warp or make a lens correction. I think it's useable there but I don't know what change it makes, am curious though. For the videography part I wouldn't know technical things. However when you made the cam fade to black and the sound off in one of the final shots. I thought there was gonna be a few more of those to make it seem like it's an eye slowly opening and closing while coming out of a daze to simulate a sort of waking up from a dream kinda feel. If you want to play around with the video stuff I would recommend looking into those scenario's. And you seem to just go for it to get great shots I think that's a great attitude, walk through people watching the screen, stand in front of the crowd, go up on stage. Maybe that's just me but at least the shots you get in return are valuable. Watching from behind Hero how he see the whole stadium. You don't get that view from the stream, you don't get that if you are anywhere else in the stadium than right at the bottom. Quite special and awesome you were able to capture that. Thanks so much. Enjoyed it immensely <3

pPingu Switzerland2892 Posts December 01 2011 21:15 GMT #13 Really cool video, thank you At 2:34 is it the ssf4 finalist? And 3:17 I think it's the same guy as at iem cologne

terialk United States770 Posts December 01 2011 22:10 GMT #14 I definitely got a sense of a kind of dreamy haze from the video (and I do mean that in the positive sense). I really liked the music choice, but I'll echo what legatus said ^ before me, were the final cuts in the video where the sound cuts off intentional? I did find it a bit disruptive to the overall feel of the video. Otherwise, great stuff !

LittLeD Sweden7973 Posts December 01 2011 22:16 GMT #15 You really managed to capture some of the amazing atmosphere. A very well done video in my opinion!

Divine_ Sweden115 Posts December 01 2011 22:23 GMT #16 I have absolutely no "eye for videography", but all i can say is that i enjoyed the film and was emotionally touched by several parts of it. Thank you for taking this time!
