This is my 1st montage for Halo 3 (I made like 10 for H2 LOL). I have been capturing clips since H3 came out, but I haven't played a whole lot so it took a while to get enough footage.

This montage really has no editing, at all. I just put the clips in and added some music, which I tried to flow well with the clips and such, but nothing beyond that. I have always been a counter-advocate of editing montages. I hate when people over-edit their montages, adding crazy effects to the video which, while they look cool, really only take away from the footage. And although I hate to generalize, a lot this over-editing comes from Halo3Forum, which is surely why I harbor such animosity towards that website and the people who post there.

Montages like the "H1 DOOMtage", and "Chill out Noobs 1 & 2" had lots of editing, but it didn't take anything away from the footage. All they really did was synch with the clips with the music and other subtle things which made the videos even better, and only really enhanced what the footage had to offer.

Sadly, I didn't add any cool music synching or anything to this video. I didn't really add anything.

Oh well.

http://files.filefront.com/Bloopers1.../fileinfo.html ---- Halo 3 Bloopertage 1

I did make sure, though, to throw together a bunch of funny clips for my bloopers, so I did just that. Most of it isn't really bloopers, so much as it is just really funny and silly clips and such.

I would really appreciate any good or bad feedback on these videos, as I will surely make more videos for H3.

PS: I will try to get a gameroom version of each of these videos up tomorow, but I would need to re-compress the montage itself before it is small enough to be uploaded.

EDIT: I forgot to post the music-

Montage-
-Pleading the Fifth - Relient K
-Audrey Start the Revolution - Anberlin
-Don't Stop Me Now - Queen

Very nice montage, some gameplay was really nice and some was average, but overall i enjoyed it, gj.

Great montage. You had great clips in their. The no scope for tac and troc were ridiculous. Great job and next time spend more time on the syncing. This could've been one of the best montages to date, but it needed syncing and transitions.

I liked it, I'm with you on the whole anti-overediting dealy. But, you could atleast have used some transitions in yours! Some average doubles could have been taken out, but you had some rape clips in there, and that multiteam ownage was ridic, lol.
