You should try to make the films in a more cinematic aspect ratio, it's something you do in the editing software that you use, add black bars at the top and bottom. And add some color correction to make it look more crisp.
Other than that I think you did good, the audio could be a little more clear though.
The haters will always be around, they spend their enormously precious time on commenting your video, see that as a compliment.
@MrLoullers That's just stupid. Critisism is the oposite of a compliment. In what backwards ass world would you take compliment in an insult? That's the problem with people today. They think they can ignore critisism and pretend thier shit don't stink. Youtube is full of users who post crap and don't want to hear it's crap. What's the point of posting a video on the internet if you don't want feedback. If people hate it then you should stop doing it or at least try to do it better next time.
@MrLoullers You can ignore them all you want, but there's a reason why they hate it. Ignoring the FACT that people think you suck is called delusional.
That's an opinion, there's a difference between hating (saying: this was the worst pile of shit I've ever seen) and giving constructive criticism (I think the lighting at 0:36 could've been better and the audio was a bit low at places). See the difference?
P.S. Haters don't have a reason for hating they just go around and say random stuff because they have no life.
@MrLoullers The term "hater" was made up so people could make themselves feel better when they are told the cold hard truth and disrgard what they don't want to hear. You make it sound like all that's wrong with this is some bad audio and some bad lighting. That's an understandment. This video would be laughed out of any serious film festival. The only people that could ever enjoy watching this are the ones in it and they would probably laugh at all their mistakes anyway. Truth is it's bad.
Haters and constructive criticism are two very different things. You could hate something but you can say it in two different ways, you should definitely get to hear what you can improve on but to hear that you suck and not get to know how to improve on it, that's just mean.
@MrLoullers Who ever said life was all kisses and hugs? If you don't like your crap getting called shit then don't upload your crap so everyone can see it stinks and tell you it's shit. Take a look at this guy's channel. The vids are all the same, (kids & plastic guns), and they all have more thumbs down than thumbs up. That tells you people don't like it. You can call them haters, but the fact is they hate it for a reasons and that reason is they think it stinks. Truth isn't mean it's truth.
I think you're not seeing my point, haters are people who say that this sucks and it's the worst shit I've ever seen. Usual criticism is not mean at all, that's someones opinion. I'm not saying that haters necessarily don't speak the truth they just put it in a very mean and nasty way, if you want someone to improve then tell him how you should improve and not tell him that he sucks.
@MrLoullers And if you really want someone to improve don't tell them to ignore their critics. Watch the Tim Burton movie Ed Wood. It's the true story of a film maker who thought his terrible movies were good. If he had listened to the people around him he could have found success in another field of employment, but instead he made the worst movies of all time. Not as bad as stuff like this on youtube, but for Hollywood his movies sucked ass. He didn't listen and ended up a failure.
I'm not saying that you should ignore the critics, the haters that just say that you're movies suck and don't tell you what to improve on aren't much help though since they don't say what to improve just that you suck. If you want people to improve which I doubt since you expect everyone to be amazing film-makers at the beginning of their career, give everyone a chance for gods sake. If you don't want people to improve then this discussion is finished here.
@MrLoullers Some people should just give up and stop putting out bad videos. He's not starting a career becuase that would mean he has a future as a film maker and he doesn't. The cold hard truth is that very few people become hollywood directors and even the worest hollywood directors are 100% better then this guy's best. Why lie and say he has a chance, it's not going to happen. Look at all the thumbs down votes hsi other videos have. The truth hurts, but accept it and move on.
@dandamanlevitan I'm afraid I have to agree with MrLoullers. The problem with someone like ED Wood was that he didn't listen to his critics. I want to listen, but everyone is just telling me to give up. How can anyone get better over that? Now saying something like "You should really should invest in some real prop weapons, better uniforms, learn some acting, etc. Because I did not find this realistic at all." I could respond to that. "This is the worst crap I've ever seen, give up" Uh, ok?
I'm sure a lot of people in Hollywood got to hear that they weren't gonna get anywhere. I'm not saying that this guy is good, but that he suck that's to go very far.
So if anyone isn't good when they start you automatically disregard them? That's very strange.
@dandamanlevitan And also, I'm sure many hollywood directors were told to just "give up" at some point. Not that I even want to be a director (looking at camera or editor). "Youtube is full of users who post crap and don't want to hear it's crap." True, but I'm not one of them. Youtube is also full of trolls who join on the 26th and go slamming everyone around 27th. Sound familiar?
@Tygerfilms Sorry, but that's how I feel. You're video showed up next to another I was watching so I clicked on it. I watched a few minutes and all I saw was kids playing shoot'em up. The editing was bad, the acting was bad, the props and uniforms were either fake or inconsistant. You have to be able to see your errors for yourself or you'll never get better. If you thought this was good enough to show other people then you are beyond help.
What a steaming pile of monkey dung. Nice try with the vintage stock footage, but nobody is going to believe you filmed the chopper when your budget is less than zero. All it looks like is a bunch of wannabies trying to look cool and failing miserably while running around the forest with plastic toy guns and secondhand uniforms that don't fit. Instead of making crap like this go watch Rambo and try not to let it make you think you can tie a bandana around your head and act like a baddass.
Just so critics know... The same problems that the last one had are in this one as well as we made these all at once. Only the upload dates are different.
Hey guys, me again!

What glenstienbeck posted was criticism but too improve you need constructive criticism and not just to hear that you suck.
There's a huge difference.
Of course you can ignore haters.

@dandamanlevitan Okay, here's the way I look at critism, using the "shitty uniforms" as an example:
Worst: "This all sucks, stop posting stuff"
Bad: "All you have is shitty uniforms"
Better: "Bad uniforms, you really need to change them"
Best: "The uniforms are really bad, you should get some belts that fit, tuck in the jackets, and move away from that type of camo."
Catch what I'm saying? Filmmakers don't become better by just hearing that it's crap, but hearing what makes it crap.
