Do you take like film making classes in school or something lol? Your vids are over everyone else's imho and you don't use the same effects over and over again in your vids. Even if you do, they're not noticeable...
I have learned pretty much all by myself(sure there has been people giving me good tips). Actually just watching other lfs videos have teached me a lot things and different kind of tutorials helped me learning to use editing softwares (also Making LFS movies #2 thread was really helpful when I started making lfs vids).
Dont forget FireMike or Lynce! They are much more talented in LFS vids than me
Didn't like the song, but the video was great. Simple but to the point. Also checked some of your other videos, nice stuff, loved the Dirt 3 montage, cool easily fit as a game trailer IMO.
Awesome timing & cutting, great atmo, makes me watching it speechless again and again. That's a keeper and sure within my all time top10 favs! At least it brought me back to the S2 feelings that I lost for some time. Now I need a Win7 wheel immediately...
Edit: I forgot about the most important: Thank You! =)
1. Smooth and wise camera work.
2. Good cutting/sync it to the music.
3. Color correction and some really easy effects like blur, dissolve, flash etc.
4. Make sure your footage fits to the music.
Thats pretty much all I did when I was making this vid.
Of course you can give your video an extra effect boost with more professional programs like AE but I use only Vegas.
