Montage editing help.

[Thunder]

Hey guys i'm working on a Gow3 beta montage and i'm a pretty good editer and have only played a day and already have some good clips (it's easy when there are so many noob weapons on some of the maps :p ) lol but my problem is that the program I use although is good at editing isn't so great at intros. Or maybe i'm not so great at intros. Either one. haha

But I was looking for someone who could just make me a cool little 10 second or so intro that just had my GT in it. DWI x Thunder and Gears of War 3 beta Montage. I couldn't pay you so I wouldn't be expecting you to put alot of time into it. Maybe if Sony Vegas Pro has some intro templates already made and you could just type that stuff into it and send me the file that'd be amazing!

I would definitely thank you in the intro and have a link to your YouTube page to help you get more views and also a big thanks and shoutout in the end credits. :cool:

Maybe in the comments send some youtube links of some easy to make intros and I can pick which one I like the most! It'd really mean alot to me whoever did this! Thanks guys and <3 TLN.

I can get my friend to do a intro for u. But honestly, It would be a lot better to just have thunder instead of Dwi x Thunder...

[Cinderella_Man]

did someone make an intro for you yet?

[HEA7]

i didnt ask my friend nor has he responded to me... so probably not

[Cinderella_Man]

alright, I am going to work on something.. just for fun. I'll post the link when done.

[Thunder]

Yea I agree with you heat I think Thunder would just be better too... lol and Thanks Cinderella_Man! I really appreciate it guys. I really think it's going to be a sick montage and get alot of views because i'm putting some serious time into it!

HEA7 try to get a hold of your friend again! lol <3 U! haha

[HEA7]

Will do!

[Cinderella_Man]

alrighty, keep in mind this is very rough, a work in progress ^.^ i'd prefer your feedback before I invest a lot of time into it.

Also, I can do a lot more creative things with the video if I knew what sound / music you wanted as intro.

EDIT: going to play halo, I will check for posts in between matches. I hope you / everyone likes it!

[Thunder]

Dude VERY NICE! :) You are definitely more talented than me!

lol I think HEA7's right I should just put Thunder instead of DWI x Thunder.

O and could you make it the color blue by any chance? my favorite color. (if not that ones really no big deal)

And maybe use a more attractive font. Maybe like Impact or something. I'm sure you know some cool ones.

But yea man that ones awesome!! Maybe slow down the transitions a bit since it'll be a slow song in the intro. Here's the song i'm going to use the beginning of.

Thanks alot man that ones awesome! :)

[Cinderella_Man]

for sure man, I can change to Thunder ♦ change color to blue ♦ slow down transition. If you give me the link to music or song I can do some stuff so intro relates to music also. And the first part is hard to read, I will change / fix that. I couldn't preview because my computer is slow but for sure will fix for next time.

[Thunder]

I posted the song I am going to use in the post above. Send me a F/R on XBL and we can talk about it if you want!

GT: DWI x Thunder

[Cinderella_Man]

ok, when do you want this done by?

EDIT: Good song man.

[HEA7]

cinderalla seems like hes got it covered :)

[Thunder]

Yea. Thanks for the help anyways HEA7!

[Cinderella_Man]

I feel like the montage should have a name? yes or no ^.^ your call.

EDIT: going against what you said, I think you might like it though. I can always fix if you don't like.

[Thunder]

Yea I think it should have a name also. I think it'd be funny if the name of the montage was "It Must Be Luck" lol

[Cinderella_Man]

ok, so this is the upgraded introduction! please everyone give me feedback on the clip.

Sorry I ignored how you told me to do the wording (this was the part that I went against you on but remember I can change). I really like it this way, hope you do too. Give me your thoughts on it ^.^ I think it is creative. Also, for the future clips I was thinking this order:

1)Bring the Rain
2)A montage film starring
3)Thunder playing
4)The Gears of War 3 Beta

I still want to:
♦add rain clip effect along with the montage name "Bring the Rain"
♦create a Thunder clip featuring your name with a storm / lightning / thunder theme.
♦any adjustments to make it geared more towards what you were hoping for.

EDIT: just noticed the "a montage film presenting" clip is pretty short and for some reason it is not widescreen, we can fine tune it after feedback. I'm probably going to go game it up on halo for the night, send me a message / party invite if you wanna chat.

[Thunder]

Dude! SO SICK!!!! I love it man! You did a great job. And yea I know this was before we came up with the other 3 ideas when we were gaming. I love the blue! The only thing I think might need a little changing is the wording. I like it because it's different but it's a little confusing. And also maybe drag the into to 28 seconds where the lyrics say "I have to goooo...." That way it can fade out right there instead of a random spot. But I can't say it enough man you are going a GREAT JOB!

I think the wording should go like this...

1.) A Gears of War 3 Beta Montage
2.) Featuring
3.) Thunder (Rain effect)
4.) Bring The Rain (Thunder and lightning effect) (italicized so you know thats the name of the montage not me GT lol)

Example of texts below.


A
Gears of War 3 Beta
Montage

Featuring


Thunder


BRING THE RAIN

[Cinderella_Man]

alright, this is without:
♦widescreen
♦thunder effects thus the "featuring Thunder" slide seems to drag on for the moment, until it gets the effects.

EDIT: Version 2

there is a large amount of time before actually releasing the montage. If you get anymore ideas or want to change / add anything lemme know.
