Hey guys, this video was created as to sort of redeem myself for a pretty poor show in next level academys crew video. The video uses Mugetsu's stunts from his third monster pack, so there's nothing new here, but the stunts are at a pretty high standard. Huge thanks has to go out to Determined and Mugetsu for helping me out along the way with the edit, the video has improved a lot from it's first version  . I hope you enjoy it, and remember to watch in 720p for a better quality video

The CC turned out a bit more dull than I expected, but it is fitting overall. Good work with the syncing, not exactly what I imagined, but it's your own touch, so kudos. And I guess you changed your mind about the warm/grungy section & turned it completely around  Pretty good vid all in all, considering you\re quite new to the whole editing scene!

Everything is nice :O
but CC is kinda dull

Cheers guys, still improving and getting used to editing in SA, so i'm glad you liked it.

Nice, you're improved in editing, but work more at colors.

Cheers, and the colours are gunna come with experience, Determined has given me a nice template to work on in which I can adapt it into anything I want, just need some practice.

Some great editing ideas you had there! Keep pushing yourself!

Your editing style is fantastic, but that lags on the video...but nevermind, epic editing and stunts

[MikeyMouse]

Cheers guys  + damn I tried as hard as I could to eliminate all lag from this video, is it within some of the still shots?

He might be referring to the choppy angle movements, I reckon you should go to a store, get yourself an MX 518, tone down the sensitivity close to minimum & try smoothening out your angles

Ah, well at the moment I use the most basic mouse in world, I don't think it has a name, it is simply a mouse which I stole from my school at one point or another, and I do the camera angles with the mouse on my bed next to my laptop  . When I get my proper computer i'll purchase a top quality mouse like the MX 518 and then the angles will be much smoother

I had that issue a while back, the way I got around it was, I never actually moved my mouse during the reps. I just found a suitable, good looking angle & kept it at that. Added some pan/crop for movement afterwards & did my vids in that fashion & people really enjoyed them & didn't even mention the lack of movement. It's a good way to start out too, it let's you realize how to apply movement & how to accentuate the stunt without making it seem too messy, I recommend you do the same for the time being

Until November when I get my computer, i'll do just that, thanks

wanna fix that lag? i can give you some good tips, PM me if your interested.

anyways, that edit was awesome, for a beginner, seriously. If you keep going like that you will go a long way...

Great edit but too much flash, try using other effects or sync the bump and the cut.
