Thank you! Means a lot

Thank you! Recorded it myself while playing the game, same as with all of the video footage in the video!

скучно, банально, затянуто, но мне даже слегка понравилось

Nice

Какая красивая и цельная история! Пропитанная духом героического фэнтези, даже для названия выбран тот же шрифт, что на постере "Властелина Колец". Пауки, древние статуи, заброшенные крепости, пещеры с костями (Мория же!), страшное, впечатляющее полотно на стене, недра вулкана...
Было не скучно, и я с удовольствием пересмотрела видео. Спасибо!

Неплохо.

Nice job

Charios, I see what you mean. I re-watched and it does get more intense along with the music, agree. In this case, I would personally take it a step further and have the voices overlay even more at some point, closer to the climax, to make it more deliberate, rather than leave an occasional impression of "hmm these voices here kinda overlapped a little". Also, the lines on 2:30 - 2:40 are softer and calmer compared to the ones before and after and I think that made it a bit jarring in terms of the buildup towards more aggressive tonalities.

But of course, it's all up to you and your vision of how you realize it and as long as it expresses your idea and the passion for the game, which it clearly does, all is well with the world ։DDD

I feel like the further the video progressed, the more distracting and overwhelming these voice-over lines became. I wish there was more breathing room left in-between voice lines, so that there was time to truly grasp and internalize what they say and savor just the music and the visuals, especially in the second half of the video when the tension grew stronger. I understand that these lines are also part of the world and "narrative" in a sense, but their non-stop presence weakens their effect and turns them into an obstacle of some sort, rather than a strong artistic device. Overall very nice video with beautiful visuals and eerie atmosphere. I just think that a little bit of thoughtful "silence" would make it even better :)) Good luck on the contest!

Appreciate the feedback! I put quotes closer together where they started overlapping as song's intensity kept rising to gradually build tension into a song chorus to be like almost overwhelming so that when it's over there is a stronger sense of relief. That's to tie in with narrative and emotions i wanted to convey from these games :)

There are some cuts in the first third of the video that are too harsh and rather disturbing to my viewing experience. It's just a little thing. Other than that: Truely great! Well done.

Thank you! Which ones if you don't mind me asking :)

Yeahhhhhh

Fantastic!
I can imagine this hits harder among Souls/bourne/ring fans but. Such a great sceneselection and the pacing is fantastic!
Great job!

Thank you all for notes and criticisms!

I love it !

Автор явно не совсем понимает, как нужно подходить и выдерживать работы такого плана.
Начиная от постановки кадра, заканчивая работой с голосом. С последним проблем больше всего, а точнее в его количестве, особенно под кульминацию. Это просто жесть какая-то, один голос наползает на другой и как будто они хотят перекричать друг друга в пафосности, что портит и засоряет звуковое наполнение. Нету баланса между музыкой и голосам, а сам монтаж как-то резкий и с сильными перепадами, хотя музыка очень плавная поднимается по своему накалу. И по итогу убивает всю кульминацию, а имена кульминация всегда самая важная часть в данных работах.
Из положительного можно отметить хорошую работу с палитрой цвета на каждом отдельном кадре. Жаль, что вся это приятная глазу картинка поверхностно смотрится со всем остальных.

если бы Darksss 73 не сказал тайминг я бы дропнул это на первой минуте

разгонялся конечно долго = до 02:16

зис.
А вообще полуичлась неплохая работа, местами конечно монтаж поровней просился. Ну не каждый конкурс ыдаать шедевры уровня самого же автора на БК 2021.
В общем атвору удачи, музыка понриавлась. Слова за кадром были в тему.

Ну,у,у,у, впечатляет ( + я фанат Дарков), разгонялся конечно долго = до 02:16 = но и так сойдёт.
