    Hey there, just thought i'd give you a few pointers. Gotta be cruel to be nice bro.

    - The "this preview has been approved for yadayada" thing was really, really, really cheesy. Almost convinced me to stop watching right there, especially when you had a picture in a very low, pixelated quality.
    - The video was certainly too long for what it showed. It showed nothing of the gameplay, of the map itself (whihch is mainly a problem with shot selection, and also the layout of the video). Honestly, I stopped watching around the 1:20 mark
    - You reused clips several times. Big nono. Just be careful when you edit
    - Don't use 3rd person spartan for filming. Just no :D
    - The text at the beginning lasted far too long, and was also in a pretty bad position. Often it was blended in with the whites of the forge palette.
    - The music choice was abhorrent, to put it nicely.
    - The camera angles you used in general were pretty poor. If dynamic lighting is derping out, don't show a shot with it
    - Camera movements were jerky, which really takes away the professionalism of the video, and takes you out of the moment.
    - Video was constantly changing between fairly dull clips and overviews with no real structure. That throws you right off watching it right there.

    You will get better, I wasn't much better when I started off doing these kinds of things, just plan more carefully and get an idea of what you want the video to portray before you do anything. Spending more time editing clips would be useful to.

    Hope that helps!

    I wasn't particularly too impressed. The video seems far too dark for me to really see whats going on in it.

    I'm not sure why the video is a "feature" of a map when it's merely a preview done by one of your friends for you. It just seems bad wording to call it a feature of the youtube channel.
