Still no beta  :(
While waiting, I decided to make a fan video with my latest remix. I used videos from AdhesiveGames channel and interview from Rev3Games.
Hope you will enjoy it.

That was really well done! Thank you for sharing!

I liked the way you synced the action to the music, and your live action scenes "remix" was pretty awesome too.
Don't fight back. Fight forward.

That was amazing, without a doubt the best fan trailer I've ever seen, never mind that was the best video game trailer I've ever seen

I'm going to be deeply polite and well mannered.


The music of course no. The editing is very good and the selection of videos were precise. However the music is not what Hawken is about. I rather select another music for your video and something more oriented to the theme of Hawken. Look for example Cow Boy Bebop, District 9, Ghost in The Shell or Blade Runner. Start from there. Anything that sounds noisy and loud is not Hawken. Anything that goes with brutal sounds of music is not Hawken.

Of course this is my opinion, however when you invite individuals to your public video you have to pick a choice that fits the theme not your personal approach to music. For me would be horrendous if I pick up Spaniard Music or any trend of Rock for such videos. It should give a sense of fiction, mystery and a relentless feeling.

Thanks for comment, i respect your opinion. But stiil, Hawken is about cyberpunk. In addition, game is very, very dynamic. Thats why i choose this track for the video.

Also, music fully maked by me. I took only vocal parts of the original song (you can probably hear it in Twisted Metal 2012).

But is wrong.

Look for example this video.



The music is not noisy, it's not loud or screamed. It's a light music to the ears and appeals to the mystery of what the authors are trying to make. It's not about drums and a noisy electric guitar. It's a bout a melodic music with elements from old music like Boards of Canada. It's a music with intense equilibrium.

That noisy sound throws me off. It makes the video generic and doesn't immerse like the first music selected by the developers. Many people try to convey some arrays on the videos however they hurt the content with the awful taste of music. I'm aware of the cyber punk nature of it however the music should be conceived as universal not as a noisy experience. It must not fall heavy on the ears. It's extremely annoying.

Never played or cared for that game. Besides, try to select better music for it. I'm sure you can do better than that.

Good job, I like it.  Maybe not my ideal approach from a musical standpoint but you've made a great clip.
So thumbs up! ;)

You can do your own, better video, with a different vision of Hawken, but i will not change anything.  ;)

You don't have to. My role is to stay two miles away from all your videos. I don't want to lower my IQ listening to your music..

lol.....

Nah man dont listen to MM, it was cool, great effort dude.   : )

Your differing opions about music choice should not move onto a personal level. Too, the choice is not my personal favourite, but i think the genre fits well in the aspect of montages.

But is the truth. Test lab mouses complete a maze in less time  hearing classical music than that obnoxious shit. Believe me, I'm not inventing stuff up. I can quote you the article if you are interested.

Here's the basic mechanic of it.

I'm an arrogant and insolent asshole.

Oh that's the basic resume of it...: P

No seriously, you can put effort on something and that something becomes a good composition. There's effort in it. There's composition in it. That's correct. He spent time in it. It's a good ode for the game, no doubt about that. However I fail to see how this video speaks about Hawken when there's a tone given by the developers. He should follow that line and work around it. Hell, he has the artistic license to do as he pleases, even putting the Battle's Yellow submarine should do if he wants. But you know, Hawken has a personality and some style in it. This could be a good composition for someone else, no doubt about it but.....

.....for me the music is horse excrement. Period. His editing skills are very good tho..

Nines, check this. Maybe you could use it in the future. I think you could arrange some few cool loops with that. ;)

excellent video, i love how you contrasted the screaming with the desolate levels of hawken. I could easily see some of this video being part of a commercial for hawken on television. I'm watching it for a third time, and i'm usually pretty cynical when it comes to this stuff in particular.

Good luck on that beta invite, you deserve one! I'm hoping on some luck myself. :)
