I guess you all remember the Pimpest Plays made for Broodwar. I always enoyed them. As I couldnt find any similar for Starcraft II (I found something, but it wasnt good) i decided to make my own project. After a work of a lot of hours in which i searched the games, searched the replays/vods and cutted/edited everything together, i finally finished. I hope you enjoy the Pimpest Plays 2010/2011/2012:
As its blocked in Germany and some other countrys on youtube because of the music in the background ill post a daylimotion link as soon as I will be able to uploud it there
The editing throughout the movie* (for example, at like 5-6 8-10 mins in) makes it incredibly hard to see (the colors are so dark that you can't really see anything..)
There was a few typos (daylimotion etc) and the video itself is quite dark. Should be a lot brighter, sometimes can't see details, on creep for example.
i heared exvodsphoenix (one of the best sc1 moviemakers, learned from the best ^^, you see kAra movie sc1) is going to buy sc2 so i will force him to make a sc2 video too xD
Nice video but it looks very similar to the other top play videos. Also, one play that most people seem to not use that is great and underrated is this Genius storm drops. Genius also had some great viodray micro where each voidray survived with around 10hp during an all in. Naniwa and Kiwikaki using imortall drops to bust out of a contain. Some of lifes ling micro. Leenocks queen switch to block the hellions. I think it might be helpfull to get a thread going where everyone can suggest some plays and then someone can get a video together of them all. Nice job though .
I remember one of the most exciting plays I saw was at ASUS ROG Winter 2012, with BlinG doing a storm drop vs Polt on antiga shipyard, you should add this to your next pimpest plays
On topic, it was really well done, perhaps a little dark in places, I think brighter with more colour would be better
Terrible editing. This could've been so much better, but thanks to color filters, flashy screens and bad zoomins it's impossible to judge wtf is going on. Music could've been better too, metal rarely works for these sorta clips.
The selection of clips was pretty good though. I suggest you just try to remake it, with good production in mind instead of how these things usually look like...
pretty okay... One of the really good thing about the old pimpest play videos was the minimal visual editing though. I think to really appreciate the games you need as little editing and "loud" music as possible, it seemed really over the top. Good clips for sure, but perhaps you should look back to the old ones for some reference for 2013, or if you're going to edit it needs to be really really well done like super 15
Can we retire "Pimpest" to the depths? Not a very good video either (pardon the honesty). I don't think some poorly produced content really deserves a thread.
It was a good effort and entertaining in places. Including typos in your videos can be a real turn off though, like MVP's usage of the "snip" ability in the first clip. Keep practicing ^^
Definitely Squirtle vs MVP takes the cake of the video, and probably best overall series of WoL. For me. But you definitely missed Kiwikaki vs Stephano IPL game. And Grubby vs Nerchio on WCS. Yes Im protoss.
