Hi everyone!
Promotional video for the 4th season of LFS Endurance Series.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtXJCcwyEC4

Is it really so crappy?

Unfortunately, yes.

First of all, the font used, its something for Hallowe'en. Not a LFS league promo, second of all, all the footage was just AI's racing, which I can watch myself in single player. Lastly, don't use messed up colour balances/contrasts.

None of this is meant to be nasty, just constructive criticism

I don't have any problem with constructive criticism
Thank you pacesetter for your comment!
It would be interesting to see what other people say
Because well... When I did it I thought it was my best footage and now I see that nobody likes it here

@boothy
If you could be a bit more constructive...

and the music was shit..

That's just not the way to say you don't like the music...
You know cou can be a bite more civilisated "I didn't like the music" or "The music didn't fit with the video".
I want opinions, not trolls

I couldn't agree more with that, you have a good potential, but you ruined it here with some very bad choices(font, AIs), that couldn't really make you credible. But at least you tried to produce something, and I do think that you could improve yourself nicely once you'll be experimented, so keep it up, and don't take the bad critisms too seriously otherwise you'll be deprimed very soon

Welcome to the internet, a world where being polite remains optional

i would never thought about using dimmu borgir as music for lfs video

I don't really think the music is the problem...
In my opinion you can do a video with nearly every music as long as it fits

Thanks for your opinion
So in your opinion the problems are:
- The color effects
- The font
- The fact that there are AIs driving

It's not my first video at all... I did alot of videos before and people here seemed to like it.
I thought people would like it because when I asked a few opinions outside this forum, some people told me it was my best one

Yea but I thought that respected drivers from respected teams would be more... respectful... Seems like I was wrong

Hmm... Yeah Was pretty much ironic in fact

Hi Sir MOI,

For the video, i think this video is great just for announce a LFSES season, you don't need to make a longer video, but i agree for the font and the colour effects

It's my opinion

Oh noes, someone thought your video was crap, boo hoo. If you want kind words show it to your family, I'm sure they will think it's lovely.

First off, it looks like some old vampire-style horror movie with the black and white cracked film and the font. Then the music turns zombie-like and we get some blood red writing at the top of the screen, asking are you ready? Ready for what? To be eaten alive in my sleep by a bunch of AIs?

We then get a dodgy sky colour and next some cars with dodgy liveries crashing, some typical AI lockups into a hairpin, some more random effects, more AI crashes, more crappy text.

I ask myself at the end of the video, what the hell is this promoting? It's certainly not promoting anything to do with endurance racing, all I see is some default skinned cars, and then some AI crashes. What's happening on September 19th? What is GT500 and GT350? Most people won't go to your website to find out these things having watched that crap.

The camera work wasn't that bad, but you need to show us LFSES races, not AIs.

I think it would have been better to use some picture from last season.

You can be civilisated and tell your opinion... Just look at pacesetter and Greybull posts
So you don't understand why you would need to be polite to somebody you don't know from anywhere?
I'm sure you understand! But you all forget that when you are behind your PC...
