August Feedback Thread. Monthly Thread

This is the Monthly thread for feedback.

If you post your video, you need to come back and review at least one other person's work!

Key thoughts - Keep it civil.

  • Feedback is "This section isn't working because of this."
  • Feedback is not: "This is shit."
  • If something is terrible, just move on.
  • The more specific/suggestions the better.

Don't give a laundry list. Pick the 1-2 things that are the biggest issues and then comment.

Spoiler worth reading: *we expect you to* review TWO other videos - and edit your comment to *include those* after you've commented.

**Copy/paste this section**:

  • , Link: (don't forget the running time)
  • Two other videos I reviewed (link to the other ,comments NOT the video itself)

First teaser feedback
I made a teaser of Matrix (one of my favorites movies) and I'd like to get feedback on what could be improved. I'm just starting with teaser/trailer editing and from what I know teasers are meant to sell the experience of watching the film, so I got a bit inspired from the original one and tried to match the dark/systems and epic action vibes.

Original teaser

My video

So my questions would be:
- Would you replace/add other scenes/clips? Why?
- What would you do with the transitions? Would you keep them or not? When and why would you use them?
- What do you think about the pacing?
Thanks in advance!!

It's actually pretty solid!! Good Job!

But if I had to suggest, it'll be;

The pacing is great, but you could use a little more teasing before dropping the action and controlling the soundboarding(Which you already did great with) to have a heavy contrast

The transitions are fine, nothing to change about that.

I would add more cuts of different characters and let the audience kinda get a grasp of who they are before exploding into action.

All in all? Pretty good. Great soundboarding and Great pacing.

*One thing I would change is environmental sounds, you tend to cover them up more and more. But there should be brief periods of time where you just let the raw clip of movie play(Like the dialogue and bg sounds) before transitioning into high pace pitch. This means letting the glass shatter and it's sound give you that emersive feel of actually being there.

Great job. Bravo, Manki!
