There is a lot of dead space i really should have cleaned up. I just wasn't sure how to manage the change from place to place without just showing them running there. The third person/following camera thing is probably what i should have done.

Remember, not everything needs to be 1:1. The beauty of editing is you can use a cut to condense the time spent on things like getting from place to place while still maintaining continuity and not confusing the viewer. They won't notice that it should take x seconds to run from site to holding an angle in graveyard bit you showed it in y seconds. In a video like you're trying to do, dead space is really killer in terms of keeping a viewers attention.

I don't care. That video is the perfect encapsulation of the early-to-mid '00s. Music has stagnated since then and nothing good will ever be created again.

I do like the teams frag video though. I know someone was making a frag video and looking for feed back. This one has the some of the same music/frag mash up. But strays away from that when it doesn't seems to work. This still allows for them to convey what's going on in the game without sacrificing the entertainment or story.

it's so much easier to make a pro frag video because splicing in the calls from the stream is just like adding instant hype and you don't even have to do anything

But the whole video doesn't include calls from the game. Specifically I think the 1st frag clip from this video does a good job of matching music to the frags. Soo... yeah I think my feedback still stands as a way to create a good flow for the video. None of what I was saying about his video was that it didnt' have enough MLG Mt.Dew and airhorns.

You're kinda putting words in my mouth there, I was just making a general comment about making CS videos that had nothing to do with any feedback you were giving...and again this is just another attempt to be constructive about what it is I think this video does well compared to the other one we were discussing...

Really, if you strip the audio commentary, this video essentially IS that goon video, it's just executed better and more professionally with MUCH higher-level play (obviously, as it was made by professionals as opposed to people playing on a goon server). TBH I'd go so far as to say phosphene's video had better third-person camera shots than this one did. What makes it so much more watchable is 1) the hype commentary, as I said; 2) effects that for the most part enhance rather than distract from kills, and 3) it's much tighter: almost no dead space of people running somewhere or holding an angle (and when that's not the case, the presence of the announcers saves it), yet it has probably about the same amount of actual content

Also, just a guess but I think the reason there was no commentary on the pita clips was because the editor either couldn't find recorded commentary for at least one of those games, or if it existed then it wasn't very good, not because it flowed better. Think about it, if you were making a dignitas roster hype video pita is NOT player you would choose to highlight first. To your point some of the kills did match decently with the music in that first clip but I don't think it really makes or breaks the video and my hunch is they would have rather just used commentary for all 5 players.

At least they qualified to Starseries. If nothing else, they should be a team that will perform better on LAN.

Back when he did some NA dream team theorycrafting like a year ago, Hiko was the first person he wanted on that team. Thorin is fairweather as hell from what I can tell. Except for device, he has a huge boner for device
