Review by [AfZ]d3mon
Summary:
7 min fly by with great cpm movement finalized with top of the notch editing, a bit too short in the end

Creativity: 8
i really liked the sarge model head with the cigar in some scenes, nice touch! also the crows in a part of the video were nicely added to the right spot
i think the level white scanlines or texture lines or what you call it shouldn't have been used though

Editing: 9
the video had a very nice flow to it and no glitches or bad transitions, only the glow effect ruined things for me. overused and it even brought down the quality imho. also i don't think this video needed the ingame sound, it didn't add anything to it, the main focus could have just been on the music and flow of the video

Content: 8
great stuff, could have had some more variaty towards runs and tricks

Quality: 7
i noticed in many scenes that antialiasing and anistorphic filtering wasn't used to the max, some jiggled edges in some scenes
the glow effect gave the video a pale look, i'd like to see more contrast in colours and sharpness

Overall: 8
this video gives out a nice vibe with the flow, editing and music. cause of the lenght it seems to me more of a long trailer than a video
i'd look forward to the editors next video only with a bit more contrast and sharpness in the picture

wonderful editing, period!

Summary:
really nice to see some innovation, and with CPM fast caps, this is my fav area to watch

Creativity: 8
3D sarge: nice job, key with 3D is the intergration with the rest of the movie and it was well done here, not completly pointless like most 3D in game vids

some of the transitions were very nice (my ideas stolen out of my head and improved on! :P)

point off for wireframe! always easy to fix mistakes people make ...

Editing: 7
like above with the transitions, great job there, intro and credits were decent and effects were used well.

CPm movement is best shown in 1st person, and there seems to be a few to many cams that didn't show things that well, slowed down the speed of things.

bacchus can move! backwards too! :S .....niceeee...

some new maps even(to me at least), which was cool.

Quality: 7
good to see a movie semi-compressed well(where is the x264 version? this can be improved), and the config was fine, werid res tho

Overall: 8
movie overall lacked any great feeling, I felt no 'omg speed', I was impressed by the backwards movement though. 3D model was boring (and werid looking) but well used.

best part is the transitions, a keeper for demostration of proper editing :P
