In Response To: Quick, latrines, move! (Rockslider)


: Good work. I'm with vshields ash on the beginning and end being too long, but
: within the middle third where the actual live action is, I was really
: impressed with the spooky look of the swooping Banshees. They looked
: really believable. Blurred and rough yes, but believeable. Phantom also
: good. Most of the Pelican effects likewise, except that at 02:30 it
: swivelled back and forth too fast for such a massive thing. The cloaked
: Elite effect with the hovering plasma sword was also quite spooky, even if
: we never did get to see a dead body.

: On the minus side, one guy's hair was way too long for me to believe he was a
: Marine. Should've made a sacrifice and had it cropped close for the sake
: of realism! Also, in the sequence where the two guys fire on a Banshee,
: not every bang of the pistol had an accompanying muzzle flash. More
: importantly though, the Banshee was moving fast across the sky and the
: guys should've been tracking accordingly, but they were actually just
: firing at one spot, so you lost realism there. Would've liked to see the
: Banshee blowing up more clearly too; only saw a brief flash.

: Overall though, it was fun and I'd definitely like to see more of this stuff.
: But for the sake of impact, I'd say keep opening credits to just a few
: seconds or leave them all till the end; get right into the live action to
: grab peoples' attention fast. Oh, and boost the sound effect for swooping
: Banshees, to accentuate the menace. They looked great but the sound was
: indistinct. Actually most of the sound was pretty murky to be honest.
: What was it the guy said near the start when they spot the Phantom and
: Banshees? Sounded like "Quick, latrines, move!". Fair enough -
: I'd probably wet myself too if I saw that lot coming for me!

Yeah! Lol I've gotten much better at stuff... when we finally made it the long haired guy kinda looked at me funny due to the static. I was wanting to give it a Saving Private Ryan feel that would sound like audio stuff from UNSC channels.

Thanks
