Hey, just wanted to get your thoughts on this rough edit of the BF3 movie I'm making... which I'm hoping to get finished by this Tuesday:

[video=youtube;QSsA7RVDkPQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSsA7RVDkPQ[/video]

- FINAL -
> 00:16-03:55 ~ The basic structure (i.e. what I want) is final from 16 seconds to 3 min 55, however not every footage is.
> The Addictive and Cross dissolve between the frame holds in the first verse (sniper kills) are final, unless I see a better way of of doing it.

- NOT FINAL -
> 00:00-00:16 ~ I don’t have an idea for an intro as of yet. I might take up a suggestion given to me about explosions and slow-mo’s or throw in a title sequence.
> 03:55-05:28 ~ Nothing is final between them. Those footage were only placed on the timeline so I could cut out the kills from each clip I had. They just happen to be in that order and cut length with the music.
– However, I’m starting to like the end footage of being stabbed and then the round ends simultaneously ending the video.
> Transitions ~ Not all trans. are final. I am thinking of doing a Morphing Transition between shots but only in two instances:
– 00:54-00:57 ~ There is no clip placed in this section of the timeline… and so the last frame holds for that duration even though it’s not meant to. I had an idea of placing a knife kill in there, but breaking it up and morphing each cut smoothly to show the kill.
– 02:01-02:11 ~ The Dither transition going into 2 min 1 isn’t going to be in the final cut. Between each cuts as it’s the same weapon, in the same vicinity of Metro, I’m going to morph transition into them.

NOTES
> 03:23-03:24 ~ As with before, there isn’t footage between some cuts so hence why for fraction of seconds each frame holds. I’m meant to place a black video as they cut to black then back again for those 2 seconds.
> My footage gets replaced all the time from the timeline, and so this might change from now till Tuesday, when I am hoping to have completed this.
 
Looking good Patriot. I even like the music. Why did you put the part with you getting knifed in the video at all?
 
Well that bit's not final, but I kinda like it for an end. Again I have no idea on how I'm going to end this, and the other potential end clip I had was me knifing someone and the round ends... but the animation shows me knifing the ground instead so it would just look silly. I'm still recording every game I play so obviously if I get better footage then I'll replace the clip(s).

You guys got any suggestions as to how I should end it... or even start it (first 16 seconds)? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Finally finished my video, took about a month to do it. Hope you guys enjoy it.
