    Harsh Super Happy Not So Fun Time :(


    - The editing you did almost didn't exist. It looked like random clips from file shares that didn't blend to each other, and made no use of music
    - The entire thing looked like it was from the 80's.
    - The quality was very poor. I can tell from the video that you captured it off of your TV
    - It was too long. Spend more time on 2 minutes, rather than 3x the quanitity with 800 times less quality
    - You need to consider your rendering options more. If you are using movie maker (which i am sure you have) then making a professional looking montage is not possible. If you are user proper editing software, then I would recommend altering your rendering settings to be true 16:9 without black bars.
    - Camera angles are just quite odd. Rather than using 3rd person warthog, try following it with free cam, making useful angles
    - The music was too quiet, and was a bad choice, as it held back the oppertunities for editing.



    Sorry, I can't see any quality or time put into this. There seems to be no thought put into it at all. Vewy Sowwy :(

    i saw lots of fades actually.

    but multikills are regular on team snipers, so not really montage worthy.

    Cool **** Zeeb, I can't talk anything about it not being the greatest, but the only problem that bothered me was it being a little dark. I liked it though

    I've made two montages and I used WMM for my first and SVP 11 for my second. I can say tho that this isnt the worst montage ive ever seen and my second one I put a lot of effort into and it came out ok (hoping to release montage 3 this summer with bettar klipps :))

    There were a lot of moments in that game where you should have proceeded onwards for the extra multikill.
    The triple with the rocket launcher, you could have landed looked up to street and gotten your overkill with a well placed rocket.
    Triple with 2 shots on isolation, the fourth dropped down to the infected tunnel, all you had to do was drop down and secure your over (with which he was likely 1shot from engaging a battle with your team mate)
    The killtacular could have been a trocity, an enemy was like 3 yards to your left and you just ran over a shotgun and left him...

    You're very lucky with headshots registering... I can imagine it took a hell of a long time to get all that footage, especially when on Halo 3 the bullets can pass clean through two players heads and you don't get so much as 1 kill -_-
