perfect trailer.... epic

[Niotex]

Honestly this is my fav kind of video. But even with the concept and the global feel being really decent, I cant help but feel as if its REALLY rough around the edges. I just would have loved to see it being polished allot more. You're also completely bottlenecking yourself with your encode as it looks absolutely horrible. So all the rough compositions and bad encoding added it it just distracts from a overall very solid experience. I would really like for you to go back in and polish some of the stuff you've done. And/or possibly make a higher quality encode of the video.

Despite my criticism I did enjoy it.

My favourite trailer from now on. Gave me creeps

You're also completely bottlenecking yourself with your encode

Don't blame the encode- blame the source

-Edit - The audio was wrong on my part -
I didn't even notice the uncompressed audio till after I checked the specifics. This is getting completely bottlenecked on both the source and the encode front. It is up to the editor to compensate for this in order to provide the optimal viewing experience.

Yeah, and encode has nothing to do with it.

Bzzz! You're wrong. You even can't tell AAC compressed audio from the uncompressed one? At least try to use normal tool to get specs, like MediaInfo, and not like MPC's "properties"

Of course it does. It means that if you neglect the source initially, then regardless what you do when encoding it'll still look like ass.

Actually I didn't use MPC. Though on second evaluation I see what you mean and what I misinterpreted. So with that yes my previous statement on the audio was wrong. Regardless I wasn't purely talking about the audio here though. In which case I still stand by my point that the video quality is sub par. File size clearly isn't the issue anymore these days. So I really don't see why we should settle for this level of quality.

I'm with Nio on this one; It is a nice video, but could need to be touched up quiet a bit.
Nice ideas, choppy execution. Even so I sort of enjoyed it.

The one specific part I'm thinking about as I write this is the wounded hand.

Anyway, keep it up.

i loved it!
