Nice video !!
I think some of the ingame sequences are not too special but some are really good. What I liked most is the perfect syncronisation of video and audio. The Bassbooms for example fit perfectly to the zooms etc,... And a cool choice for the music. I dont know what it is and I usually dont listen to that kind of music but in this video i liked it

2 minutes to get to the highlights? A bit long, but whatever. As someone who is willingly downloading a video for SC highlights I don't want to see 2 minutes of entirely irrelevant CG before watching the movie. The spirit productions and MYM logo to start is fine, you don't want to bloat it up with anything more than that!
The first thing I noticed when the highlights started is you misspelled arcology. In fact, what the hell at this entire clip - an scv chasing a probe around the base then the probe drilling in trying to harass and getting trapped then killed by a marine. Horror made a total of 2 clicks here, right clicking that first SCV on the probe then right clicking a marine on it. It got trapped inside a few mining scvs and died because of it, that's not a highlight. Now a clip with 3 tanks killing 2 zeals while one that took a reaver shot doesn't die. What the hell? This isn't impressive. Then the next one starts with horror losing 4 marines sloppily to 4 dragoons as the P player stumbles into mines. Am I watching a highlight video or random clips from random games video?
Thankfully it gets better from there. The editting seems ok in general but that blur effect just makes me feel as if I'm looking through the camera like it's smeared with vaseline, and the unit noises that are much louder than everything else and are somewhat random are really distracting and just feel awkward. You either leave all the sound in, or you keep it mute. It's just strange.
Overall there were a lot of nice clips and the editting was nice since you didn't overdo it like a lot of people who make these do, but the start made me think "this is going to be bad". Although it was a nice surprise that it picked up as much as it did! I wasn't much a fan of the music but I don't think I've ever been a fan of the music in any SC highlight video anyone has ever made.
edit: also, as the guy above me pointed out, the music syncing with the video was very very nice

Nice!
lmao Testie's probes got owned

As always your editing and timing is impeccable though like that dude said the intro may have been a bit long for my taste. The one thing I could complain about is the subject of your movie. Horror is not really the most exciting Terran or even an exciting player imo. He doesnt really deserve a highlight movie and especially not a retuh one. Anyway, Cheers!

It's a nice video but man, what was all that Halo crap at the beginning? I think it didnt mesh in all that well.

THIS.
I agree, some of the highlights were dubious, but that is not my biggest grief with this movie.
IIRC, I spoke with yuo about another movie you made, but that was on Iccup, via PM.
The point is, you are abusing effects that are in turn ruining the highlight you are trying to show. E.g. the first clip of Horror microing vs lurkers on Tau, you are using some motion blur filter that ruined the micro as you could not clearly see what is going on. At times you inserted a flash (white frame) this is just annoying and takes your focus away from the action.
Please, understand correctly -- I am not against using effects, I am against abusing them. I.e. use them at the right time, like as a transition for instance, not during the actual highlight.
Also, the CG clip in the beginning was completely unneeded.
I hope you use your skills properly in future clips, as you seem to know your way around video editing.

I think the video was pretty bad ass. The opening was a bit lengthy, and the SCV vs. Probe clip was a little anti-climactic especially after that epic of a starting sequence. Otherwise, many of the other clips were great, and I liked a lot of the editing, the soundtrack was sick. You've convinced me that he is a player worth watching, he had sick moves that you highlighted well - so in other words, this was a success to me. Congrats, and keep up the great work!

Cool plays, cool video. Well done!

That game on Longinus was so deliciously evil ... /drool
His defense was so fucking amazing.
Horror is now one of my favorite foreigners ^_^

I really like the way you edited this, really like the style.
What did you use to make this?
Also, HoRRoR's marine vs lurker micro was sexy.

#sewi: I always trie to use some new music, but this time i took not the electronic stuff i used in tot movie. Its not realy comunity music but near by
#Tropics: THANK YOU VERY MUTCH FOR YOUR LONG CRITICISM! I put 2 intros in it. At first its just halo cinimatics to create a cool atmosphare. The second one starts with the scv vs probe thing. I agree with you. The sequence is not the pimpest plays one, but its a slow scene for the beginning. He saved his scv with 5hp with a slide just a second befor he normaly lose the scv. The second sequence with the 3 tanks is good in my opinion. He moves the 3 tanks at the same second to splitt them and they shoot at the same time to the rvr.
I tryed just something new with the unit sounds. Some moviemakers use no unitsounds and some are using the ingame sound. I just used one sound of a special unit.
#Sp1ralArch1tect: Thank you I think Horror is one of the best terrans at the moment. He is place 16 at ggnet rangking and i think there are only 4 terrans under the top 20. Next time i ll ask nada or boxer, but i think i will never get an answere of them (
#rkarhu: Its just about the atmosphare and showing something new and not all these old starcraft or starcraft 2 cinematics.
#meathook: Sorry i can´t remember you I think you have to download the highQuality version. The LowQuality Youtube version is not that good, the motion blur effect is realy hard there. I don´t think i overdid it with the effects in this movie, i hold my self back
