@MDSguy Thank you for the feedback. Although, the volume of the gunfire is quite intentional. I wanted it to sound like a live recording and made sure the sound was lower when the shots were further away. The same with not going from left to right channels. I didn't want it to sound too "mixed".
@CharmingNewSociety I see the effect you're going for and you should keep that but you need to make the overall sound louder and shaper. Sound will truly sell the effect here. Also watch Freddiew's tutorial or the Video Copilot's version for muzzle flashes. Need slight light on the face, only slight since outdoors. Some smoke assets, FilmRiot just put up a video giving some away for free. There should be a lot less muzzle flashes too, one every 3 or 4, they rarely appear outdoors.
@JacComedy Well it wasn't meant to be fully polished, just test footage to get a decent sense of what we're going for. More time will be taken with these kind of scenes in the final film. Though, I really am playing with those notions. I'd like it to have a more organic feel, rather than a "film-realistic" one. In a lot of real gun videos, there's almost no muzzle flash at all, and the sound is a lot lower than one would expect. We're going to sell it more with practicing realistic handling.
@CharmingNewSociety I see what you mean, looking forward to the end product, following it on Facebook too! That's the thing, people who don't know what real guns are like think that the ones in films are the realistic ones and the real ones look fake. So will you be removing muzzle flashes? There is a lot in this video? Sound is loud enough, just sometimes not as much as film shots, youtube. com /watch?v=5QqZls_MhDU (remove spaces) isn't too loud but the sound is sharp. Good luck with it anyway
gun sounds need to be louder, preferably moving stereo channel left to right etc. great shots thought
