Re: Halo - The Ace of Aces *VID*

In Response To: Halo - The Ace of Aces *VID* (Bry)


: In the tradition of Top Gear, I was ambitious, but hopefully not too rubbish.

Halo+Sabre+Ace Combat+a dose of Top Gear? What an awesome combo. You aimed high and it came out very well!

However, I found the first half a bit slow. Not bad, just not quite captivating enough. But after the 2nd elite's dialogue, at around 6:43 where the music kicks in and you do that crazy circle move around the Phantom, it's fantastic all the way to the end.

I think my issues with the first half, and to a certain extent with the Pelican part in your previous vid, are camera movement and clip length. In action scenes, the camera stays relatively immobile for too long to really convey a sense of speed and intensity. The second half has no such issues - either the camera is in motion or the cuts are shorter. To go back to your Top Gear reference, on TG they tend to have pretty dynamic camera movement and cinematography-wise it's never boring, even if the segment is.

Other than that and Blueninja's headbobbing comment, great job! I wish you'd make more :(
