I record these with a webcam, one hand on the capture button, and one on the controller. I record different angles, POV's, and then edit them together using Windows Movie Maker. Just made them because I wanted to make some cool videos. From least crappy to most crappy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns2dVKhTpR8 Personal Rating: 4/5 This is my best one so far! I got the TV to fill the whole screen to make the 'webcamishness' less noticable, I got some music that fits the clip, nice editing, nice credits. "In Big Team Battle, our flag is halfway across the map with a mongoose waiting for it. I take my own mongoose and charge into their base, stopping the flagger and returning our flag at all costs."

Put to MC Hammer's 'Can't Touch This' (I like that old 80's rap ) http://youtube.com/watch?v=RXPTB8_bqzw Personal Rating: 3/5 This Warthog flips and flips and flips down the Rats Nest back corridor. I made this before I fully figured out how to use YouCam so there's a few bright spots. http://youtube.com/watch?v=G6epjFyQMO4 Personal Rating: 2.5/5 I get a triple kill with one rocket. This was my first one, not too good because of my crappy editing and lack of knowledge with YouCam. http://youtube.com/watch?v=h0b7wSCveyk Personal Rating: 2.5/5 I use a laser and destroy a Mongoose, and then get a double kill from the wreckage splattering someone.
I got a killtacular with one rocket. In ma file share to prove it, under "WOW" The vids were crappy, but the content was good. Nice job.
God, Why do people do this, Just go out and buy a capture card, I never bother with halo videos that aren't filmed with a capture card...
Umm, where did I say that I was going to be making a video that needed to have great quality? Oh, wait, I didn't! I'm making them because I want to make them, not because I'm some douchebag director making his super awesome 1337 montages. Swallow a bag of concrete and harden the hell up, ok?
Calm down, man. The way he said it wasn't the best, but I hate to say it, but I tend to agree with him. I don't usually watch videos that don't use a capture card. Although, yours are better than most because your camera stays still. I can't stand the videos where they just use a video camera and not use a tripod, it almost makes me sick the way the camera shakes. Anyway, the clips aren't too bad.
Tah FF, the way he said it just kind've made me go "wtf?", because nobody told him he had to watch them, and they wern't hurting him, so for him to just go off like that made me kinda pissed. Anyway, I basically started making them because of this guy, Helveck He made a montage, a couple of machinimas with his webcam, and as you can see, they really are pretty good quality. So I just kinda tried it myself and made the first video, and kept trying at getting the editing, quality, bright spots fixed. So now I just need to keep trying at getting the quality watchable and all that, and then I'll be a douchebag director
Wow those were freakin awesome =P Don't listen to the fools here that say you HAVE to get a capture card, like someone else said, it's quality of the content, not the video; that matters.
lololol, not bad, makes me want to get my cap card going...just too busy making maps... and working =[ anyways, i second what rey said, these are great films, not the best quality, but its the content that makes these so epic
Thanks Reyn and Tex! I think I might make this a gallery, if that's alright? Instead of making a new topic, I'll update this one everytime I make a video. Which I have: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns2dVKhTpR8 This is a MUCH better quality video. The TV now fills the whole screen, getting rid of the 'webcam' feel, there are no bright spots, the editings nice, the song fits the video and there's pretty credits! Heres the description from YouTube: "In Big Team Battle, our flag is halfway across the map with a mongoose waiting for it. I take my own mongoose and charge into their base, stopping the flagger and returning our flag at all costs. " Please watch it, or I'll kick this small puppy.
