Joliver12x Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I recently made this video and just thought I'd share this with everyone. All hardcore Chrono Trigger fans might appreciate this.

The Damned Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Spam... Seriously, coming here and posting your "friends" video? Come on, you can do better than that. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this guy never posted after this. But hopefully he will, and isn't just here to shill his stuff. Video was mediocre, at best. Too many random cuts, random music, crappy artwork, and those laughs? Fucking cut that out. It's terrible. The entire thing comes across as something a junior high school student made for his computer class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 don't be an ass, damned, he's a noobie and doesn't know that most people who post videos here get their asses kicked. that said, it's a decent video. but you shouldn't pimp it so hard when it's not, like, dragon song crystallized into a video orgasm.

The Damned Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I'll be an ass if I want, mister... guy. Person. Of Mephisto. Besides, Toadofsky already called it, so someone had to do it. It's part of the forum handbook. Look up section IVX, paragraph 21, subsection (a): It says, and I quote: Upon the statement that one can expect negative treatment upon posting a topic, media, or other matter, members in good standing are obligated to enforce said treatment upon said poster. Failure to do so will result in loss of internet points, social status, and or e-penix. And there's something about newb and noob stuff in there as well. I can't remember what part it's in. Hmmmm. If you spell it "mephestio", it sounds like a type of Cajun cooking style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liontamer Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I thought the video was weak, honestly. It's just not very good, for reasons already mentioned. Don't doubt there's energy behind it, but that doesn't make it good. We've all gotta start somewhere, so this doesn't preclude making better videos in a few years time.

Joliver12x Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Well dang, I never knew this was going to cause such an uproar. Give me a break, I'm new here. I'd rather see this thread deleted than put up with verball abuse. Lesson learned! Now can we quit the bashing and not get personal here? I'm a nice guy who simply wants to share *my creation. Thank you liontamer for the constructive feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Experience Chrono Trigger like never before! A phenomenal compliation of art and music that follows the story of Chrono Trigger. This one-man project was started about about a year ago. Countless hours were devoted to the actual precision editing. (Credit for the media goes to all the talented fan artists and musicans out there.) Ode to the best video game ever made!Haha! A year for this? Sorry dude, but I'd want my year back. Way too many random music and scene changes, all it is is pictures. Unless you drew and animated all of those yourself I'm not impressed.

It's just not very good, for reasons already mentioned. Don't doubt there's energy behind it, but that doesn't make it good. Whoa whoa, now. Stop right there! I'm starting to think this video wasn't intended for a mainstream audience. Oh and I meant 'one year, on and off'; it was more like several months of work. Seriously, people shouldn't raise their expectations so high. Before anyone passes judgement they must know the backstory. This video started out as a small pet project I made to appease my friends. I decided to take it a step further. Chrono Trigger's music has always been my favorite aspect of the game. I am in fact very passionate about it and I wanted to emphasize that by covering the highlights of the soundtrack one video. First of all, the music isn't random. All of it was carefully selected from my massive library of Chrono Trigger remixes. Each one is VERY relevant to the scene. A hardcore fan would recognize the sounds and even appreciate this attention the detail. There were also a lot intricacies involved with stitching the tracks together, making volume adjustments and adding sound effects to enhance the presentation. Yes it does consist mostly of pictures. So what? They were collected from DeviantArt and other internet sources that I gave credit to. Crappy? Not at all. I tactically used effects and transitions to make them more appealing. Would you have preferred overused sprites, in-game scenes or the official artwork that everyone has seen? I carefully chose among the best fanart out there to piece together the story. If you compare my video to other fan-made Chrono Trigger videos on YouTube, quite frankly most of them clearly show little to no effort. I am qualified to say my video is superior. Above all, this is a showcase of fan talent; featuring art and music (with a tad of crude humor) while chronologically following the story. Basically it's Chrono Trigger in a nutshell. That's the beauty of this video tribute. It surprises me how some of you are so quick to bashing. I say it's pretty damn good for my first video. Honestly, a lot of thought and hard work was put into this, so don't disappoint me and jump to baseless conclusions. Just loosen up and enjoy.

Fratto Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Whoa whoa, now. Stop right there! I'm starting to think this video wasn't intended for a mainstream audience. I wouldn't say that OCR is quite mainstream. This video started out as a small pet project I made to appease my friends. I decided to take it a step further. You claimed this was a friend's video... I am qualified to say my video is superior. I'm curious how you became so qualified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joliver12x Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Don't even begin to pick me apart, Fratto. With all due respect, I will not waste my time because I've already said more than enough. Not even looking argument, I already made myself clear. Can we end these attacks and get back on topic? Seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 did you know that you can post those videos 'inline', so that you can watch them straight from the forum?

Joliver12x Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Take a look at how you've described the video man :/(Haven't seen it yet, will after work.) I was going to address that too. Didn't mean to raise expectations, that was a mistake on my part. >_> But consider my detailed explanation for the video, and you be the judge of that.

Well, I think you have the right idea in terms of believing your work is good. Any artist needs that kind of faith in their own abilities in order to persevere in the face of negative comments. As long as you can dismiss criticism you feel is not constructive and focus on relevant criticism, you should be fine in the long run as long as you're also dedicated to improvement and open to the possibility that this could be a lot better. I think this is good in the context of being a first video, but only in that context. The hyperbole in the description caused much of the negative feedback you're getting, because it doesn't live up to that hype. But you already know that.

MadGonzo Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 hmmm ... where did the music come from? those weren't OCremixes.. anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otakatt Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I haven't been able to figure out how since the upgrade...is there a new tag for it or something? I think you just link to the video. Normal link, no tags. That's what I did in one thread and it worked. If you're really unsure quote someone's post that has and see what they put down.

Sengin Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Those pictures in the video that came from 3D models looked exactly like the pictures from Chrono Trigger: Resurrection before Square-Enix shut them down. Did you use pictures from that project in yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
