Well considering that many other entries have the survivors in them it's kinda weird for the reasons listed in the description. It doesn't bother me that the actors in the video look nothing like the riders themselves - the main point is that EmmaLou06 made a video that is similar to some of the music videos you can see made by/for bands which fit the genre. Just like how the L4D games maps aren't really original - they are a reference to popular zombie film clichés. Because of that I like this.
It's nice that you used footage from an actual band and everything was very related bikes and bands, but putting footage together is really simple. Just find the clips and line them up. I don't think this should be the one... Sorry.
By far the best video I've seen that actually uses actual tour footage from an actual band. Nice choice using Children of Bodom footage. Most creative, thoughtful and contextually correct. Good Job!!
I agree. Just clips from the game isn't any creative. That's why my video, which I will upload at any moment now, isn't that easy-made. Great video, btw.
I was with it until you suddenly switched almost exclusively to children of bodom clips... (Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge metalhead and COB fan - I've got a hate crew deathroll flag on the wall behind me) but... why use them for a southern rock video??? Especially in such abundance?
5 people are jealous that their video aren't as great as this. Great job, on the topic of the band, fits together well, and completely original. Here's hoping you win.
This was what I thought of when I think of this contest video, although I actually do like to see much more original creation. Much better then other gameplay footage, and in game CG movies and stuff, but not by too much for still copy and paste stuff.
at this moment, i think this is the best video for the contest i've seen, good luckwith the contest, i'll send an entry too! lets hope someone of us wins ;)
Finally, a music video that makes sense. No zombies, no survivors, a true music video.
However, and this is a big "however," is that these aren't your footages. They're from other things, and thus, don't have cohesiveness and comprehension and beauty of a true music video.
Yeah only seen the same teasers and trailer remakes and no music videos,best i've seen so far! Nice work. Wish i could do something but i have no film gear,just my amateur film camera,guess it could work.
thats wat i said about the other vids the riders dont even know the l4d crew or the zombie out break didnt happen yet u should check my vid out it shows the riders in the vid playing the guitars and a music vid like this one no l4d cast in them by the way man nice vid and good luck i have a entry to or just a prototype version at the moment on youtube but i'll hav the finl version out soon but im a good sport so let the best vid win and again nice vid
I agree with you that the Riders wouldn't know about the survivors, which I why I refuse to even watch videos that are just L4D clips. It makes since only in that its footage taken from the same world that they're from. But thats like showing footage of a folk band for a death metal song because both bands come from Earth.
@inatspong thats why I chose a band called "Children of Bodom" to represent the band - they're a metal band, sept there is 5 members so does look a bit odd sometimes cos there is only 4 in MNR. But i tried my best >.<
@EmmaLou06 Not a bad choice, really. I'd try and shoot a video myslef, but my camera sucks and this stupid computer can't capture video without deciding to crap out on itself. I'd deal with the low quality video if I could just capture something without BSoDing
@youl4d "Should you make it live action? Use game assets? Show the Riders? Well the band would have wanted this contest to have no rules. So you choose what’s in the video – THERE ARE NO STINKING RULES*! " Straight from the blog. It doesn't really matter, I just don't think its very original.
this is great, and dont get me wrong, but i do agree with the idea of more motorcycling throughout the video. theyre motorcyclists, thats thier thing.
Enjoyed it. Perhaps intersperse more motorcycles throughout, so they're not all at the beginning and one at the end (liked the end one very much, nice timing).
have you seen this?
