Okay so this will be my last forum release on this topic type thing unless a big milestone happens like a subscriber special (hah hah, I wont ever reach a milestone) but anyways, this is my last forum post and I have a video schedueld to go live at 11:00 AM CST (10:00 AM GMT) (9:00 AM PST) (12:00 AM EST) so yeah go check that out I'll post a link to my channel! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjfVYrkbLkmajo8AJnO_gZQ - - - Updated - - - So since I'm quite the idiot when I finally realized I had it all set and ready in the youtube uploader type thing I forgot to add music. The video will be just one or two minutes late. Thanks for understanding! - - - Updated - - - Ack! The video is up! Only 14 minutes late! - - - Updated - - - Wow. I don't see anything wrong with my video and immediately someone more than likely from this forum just goes and dislikes it. Man, you guys really are rude.
Well when you put something up on a forum and say "Look at my video" it's like self advertisement. When you do something as such, do expect people to critique your work. If you don't like that than you shouldn't create anything, unfortunately people criticize everything, from the way a person looks, to the way you use a restroom. [Moderate exaggeration intended] On the internet however people take this to the extreme and criticize you before you've even done anything. But really... Also there isn't too much to say about the video, 1st you linked your channel not the vid... 2nd you didn't embed the vid. The "Crash Compilation" isn't bad, just a little too much slow mo and the music hurts the ears with odd base levels in headphones... but than what is a volume slider.. Stating a generalization and saying everyone of us is rude, however was uncalled for. Off-Topic: This is what is truly wrong with the interent... A friend I've known for a long time is on a man period and goes off and on all the time... been this way for the last like 5 months.... I've ignored him for the last week or two because whenever I get on and I already have plans he insta messages me, he went from a man who cared to a man who just doesn't give a rats ***. All week this kid has been sending me messages... Well the guy who actually wrote these messages was actually not my friend but an impersonator.... 0.0 My friend has numerous accounts and this kid is a friend of his that uses that account as well and he knows a few things about me....... but he likes to be a bit of a twat. [also my actual friend has snapped and acted this way in the past, however he never said anything relating to snickers bars lol] P.S. Snickers bars are absolutely disgusting.
Wow, and I thought I was annoying. Although, this sums up the internet for ya. You are good friends with someone one day and the next you hate each other. - - - Updated - - - Back on topic though, the montages you have are kinda slow. Most people prefer faster music and faster crashes to fit the music. Electronic is my personal favorite but others like rock, dubstep, etc. (Slayersen kinda already covered the slow motion thing though) You did start using forum mods which is good. Keep using forum mods and you will be golden. Some of the crashes themselves are not that interesting. Try to only take the best and most destructive crashes for your montages. None of the "barley even dent my car" crashes. Try using FOV to make the clips look better. If you go into the debug menu (it is the button that looks like a beetle) and scroll down to the "effects" tab, there should be an option for fov. Set that anywhere from 10-40 and you will have better looking camera angles. You have some great potential in you. Yes you have 2 likes and 5 dislikes (as of now) on your video (I am one of the likes btw) but you can't let that discourage you. I once got like 6 dislikes on one video in a single day and I got so discouraged that I removed the video and stopped making videos for like a month. Since then, I have learned that haters are going to be mean to you. Just because people don't like one of your videos doesn't mean that you should give up on what you enjoy doing. You are new to YouTube and you can't expect to get every single person in the world to like your vids. Just don't get discouraged and please, don't blame forum users. They have had this game for years now and they are not really the "type" to watch crash videos since they have seen 1,000s of them. Also, be sure to view your montages and other videos from someone else's perspective. Why would someone not like your video? Could it be because of the music? The type of video? The quality of the video? You have to decide what is not good about your videos and try to improve them. You have to view it from someone else's eyes. Obviously if you get hate, dislikes, etc. there is something wrong with the video. There is some reason people don't like them. Try coming up with a new name for your montage. There are a ton of people who title their videos some sort of crashes and fails or crash montage. Try getting a more unique name for them. I came up with crashes and smashes for my montages just to differ from all of the people out there that have crashes and fails. Be unique with the title because the title is what draws viewers in. If everyone named there montages crashes and fails, no one would get any views because they would just be "copying" Insanegaz, Kryton, etc. Try also getting custom thumbnails. Look up tutorials on how to make beginner ones and then, with the knowledge you gain from that, look up how to make advanced ones. Then you can experiment with the different lighting effects and stuff. I recommend using Gimp for thumbnails. I hope some of these tips help you! Keep working and don't give up
I use 35 because it doesn't make the cars angles look weird/warped/stretched Mainly for images of my work.
Nonono, not all of you. Well. Sorry, I was implying that but I didn't mean too. - - - Updated - - - Hi! Okay! So thank you all for the positivity and I would like to personally apologize for what I said before because you guys all really are nice, there are just some rude people out there, and I will keep making videos, edit the FOV and such! Thanks guys - - - Updated - - - I created a new video that will be uploaded 11:00 AM tomorrow and it should be a lot better! More crashes and less slo-mo - - - Updated - - - Sorry but to respond the reason I used my channel is because the video wasn't live yet. :/ - - - Updated - - - Alright! So! I followed a lot of your guys' tips! I used less slo mo, I put in more crashes (they're more devistation-y) and I came up with a new name! Automobile Annihilation! Thank you guys for all the tips and pointers!
Complaining about dislikes will just get you more dislikes. People find it annoying. Maybe this post I made yesterday could help you out a little http://www.beamng.com/threads/16048-How-To-Make-A-BeaMNG-Drive-Montage!
