At 0:40 when the jukebox music fades away, the change-over to the new background music is too washy - for a couple of seconds it sounds more like a mish-mash than actual music.
At 1:33 when you see Warfield, there should be some firing sounds in the background. It's silent, too silent :)
And the Hyperions guns are too silent also. They shouldn't sounds just like the average joe's gauss rifle.
At 1:45 it would be nice to have a zergling or two charge at the marines, then die like the one at 0:55. The area feels empty. A couple of supply crates or something else wouldn't be out-of-place too.
At 1:56 the marine has the green selection circle around him :) Also, he now suddenly wears a combat shield. He also doesn't fire anymore. the second marine went missing, too.
I love the scene at 2:01, this looks real epic!
At 2:08 maybe have more marines exit the dropship.
The part at 2:30 where the tank sieges up is pretty long. Maybe have a quick cut or two back to the battlefield where the zerg still try to swarm them.
When the tank fires at 2:36 the camera should shake violently (and, if you can do so, blurr out for a second) to stress how friggin large that gun is :) Same at 3:03 (but not as powerful anymore, since the camera is farther away and the battle's turned).
Well, some of that is due to my own preference I guess. But details like misplaced marines, missing animation or camera movement can really make the difference.
@ 0:40 Thats true, but im not that good at sound design...
@ 1:33 True. However, i wanted the guns of the battlecruiser sound like that because they are SOOO far away from the camera. Also, i wanted to keep the scenes in space mostly without sound, as a little pause between all the action on the ground. Also, they is not so much sound in space, you know :P.
@ 1:45 I actually had a scene in there that showed a marine in a 1on1 battle with a zergling and where the marine dies, but i cutted it out because of time issues. Thats also why in the next scene, the one marine is missing.
@ 1:56 Nope, thats not a selection circle, its a light. Yeah, Combat Shield, im an idiot :P. And yes, the marine is missing, but as i mentioned above, in a cut sequence, he died fighting a zergling and was supposed to be out of the camera sight.
@ 2:01 Yeah, its probably my favorite shot, too.
@ 2:08 Nah, i liked the one marine and then the other one shooting. I feared that the shot would become a mess with more marines.
@ 2:30 That was intended, i wanted to show the transformation without a cut or a camera tilt. I like shots like those.
@ 2:36 I thought about doing that, but i didnt because theres a cut right after the tanks shots, and it looked very disorianting to have the camera shake so heavily just right before a cut, so i left it out.
@3:03 Yeah, thats true.
Thanks for your feedback! I learned alot while making these videos and you can be sure that you wont see any of those in my next movies!
As you all may now, the Blizzcon (which was epic) has just ended. I was most exited for the Movie Contest, which i myself participated in, however, my movie unfortanly didnt won anything. However, i still want you guys to see my work, so ill just release it now.
The movie is called "Freebirds" and focuses on General Warfields last battle before his retirement, as he leads a marine squad against the zerg invasion on Wotan II in the Brood War. The movie is 2 minutes and 59 seconds long and while its not perfect, i think the Starcraft Fans will like it and if its just for the fact that this is probably the first SC2 machinima that makes excessive use of the HD Models.
The version you see here is the "Extended Cut", which is 18 seconds longer and a little bit more polished than the version i submited to the contest.
Well, here it is (please watch in HD):
If you want to see the original contest version, PM me.
I think this is awesome. Deserves alittle more recognition. Im tired of all those overly complex rpg maps on the list, so this is exactly what i want. No stupid upgrade system, just you and your gun!
Afterall, your maps are probably the most fun to play, because they are so simple.

What are you talking about? A firebat has a slightly different model than a marauder. But what has this to do with this topic?

Can you do more of those? I would really like to do a WH40K roleplaying map in third person.
