FC Video Intro Cinematic?

[VerbotenDonkey]

I have made several changes to the intro, in the hopes of it becoming more suitable. Enjoy:

BEFORE:


AFTER:



I hope the newest version is at least an improvement from the first; any and all constructive criticism is welcome.

It's definitely better! I forgot to mention before, it does look like the text is not centered. Like the r in Forerunner is running into the logo. Like it needs to be scaled back a bit to center the text properly. Also, still not a fan of that text. Looks too flat, not overly professional like the rest of it. Makes it stick out. Overall though, definitely looks good! Fits FC well.

What Verboten said is true, the text is the main focus it tells the view who we are. Go for a Halo-esk font not, THE Halo font. That is just a tip to avoid being a little cheesy. The biggest problem so far is the fact everything is at a different contrast. The Emblem is a bit blurry, the FC is sharp and stands out, and the Text blends in with the background on top of being covered by the TV screen effect. So I would say put the TV screen effect in the background. That way the background is simple but not plain and it, and will focus your eye to the text and FC emblem. Since those will not be distorted. The choice of music is better, but its still more of an emotional piece. For good music you might have to look beyond Halo. I would look for something similar to the Battlefield 3 opening but with a bit more sci-fi sound. You have to put as much effort into the Audio as you did everything else totaled, so you might not get away with a copy and paste.

Just out of curiosity who made the FC logo and emblem, and what font was used. I'll redraw it by hand if I have too.

Here is V3 of my "Battle Chatter" intro:



#Changelog:

- Changed the font.
- Re-positioned the text.
- Re-positioned the logo.
- Removed "TV Effect" from the text and logo.
- Replaced the soundtrack with a more dynamic sounding piece.

Hopefully with these changes, this version sees more light than beef (haha) than the previous versions but regardless, I welcome any and all constructive criticism as I fully believe this intro could work; it just needs a bump in the right direction.

Hahaha I actually liked the previous soundtrack better xD Other than that man, that's almost perfect in my eyes. I love it.

[Link2Halo]

I have to agree with Verboten the last one's soundtrack was better.

[VerbotenDonkey]

It's not so much the soundtrack as the radio-guys stuff. I didn't like the sniper bit added at the end. I just liked the deep baritone drone of that guys voice. Meh, that's just personal taste though haha.

Needs a better background, I think something like a file opening would be really neat. I really like the work, and audio. I wish I was able to do stuff like that, anyways thats just me.
