You spelt 'their' correctly - there is hope!!
 I better keep quiet tbh 
Yes, yes, the vid would be a spelling mess if not for Loxy. "Thier" is my nemiseisses. See?

The typos and Evanescence remix aside, this is a story that will prove fascinating to the noob, and nostalgic to the not-so. 
Typos? Where?? OMG, my eyes were bleeding proofing this thing! 
And Evanescence rocks, do you hear me?? ROCKS!

I SAW MYSELF ... in a mass of shuttles on the way to get BS to Torrinos :(
LOL!! I wanted to include more of that footage. A dozen MC Caldari shuttles in formation. Do you remember scaring that Thorax off the gate on the way back fown the pipe, Hooz?

Your vids have always impressed me as you continue to set the bar higher. Any criticism I could make would simply be overshadowed by my awe of what you have done.
 Thanks, man.

Nice vid seleene... Props to you guys. (Yes. i said it. dont make me say it again :) )
I see i still have a starring role.
Sigh. I'm never gonna live that down.
SJ.
Sorry, man. No, you won't, because the footage is just so damn good!
Originally by: Rift Scorn
Awesome Vid Seleene! And an extra point for putting a Breaking Benjamin song in there, i was wondering how long it would be before some cottoned onto that song
Hehe!! Been wanting to use that song forever. I love the wording.
Thanks to everyone else who has made a comment. After so long in making this thing I'd become numb to it. When Loxy saw the preview and started raving about it I was like, "Oh? Really? Umm... cool, I better finish it then?" Then he sent me a page long list of errors and fixes to correct.
Oh, I'm supposed to give Dianabolic a credit for giving BDCI & FRICK the Everlasting Vendetta contract. So, there ya go, Uberbear!

Ermph. Gotta be honest with you, Seleene: I didn't like it too much. Or rather, it didn't have what I expected it to have. There really wasn't much of an explanation of how BDCI and FRICK came to meet and work together so much, there wasn't anything about how you and Leafo came into contact...
it just felt like "here's one fight, and then another, and then another, and another. Oh and here's some pretty dreads and our outpost at the end." For a history, it didn't feel like history too much; there wasn't enough context included with the battle footage. It started off great, with BDCI's origins... but then it's just sort of "fight fight fight FRICK fight fight MC fight fight omgboomlol."
I can certianly understand what you are saying and appreciate your honestly. The thing is, I could have easily made this thing another 15-20 minutes longer. The original draft was actually 42 minutes! There were plans for NSN and TC to do 'origin' vids to include in the finished product and everything. However, like all projects this size, people got busy or preoccupied, etc...
In the end, I needed closure on this project so I could move on to other things. Some of those things are going to include a lot of shorter vids, some about the MC corps, some about certian pilots in the MC, etc... This movie was a huge monkey on my back and I couldn't do anything else until it was done. So, in that respect, I may have rushed it a bit at the end.
Could it have been better? Hell yes, but I might not have ever finished it either.
Quote:
And man, no context for things like VOTF? No explanation as to why this was so huge? That's what made the original VOTF video so awesome.
While it may not be fair, this movie kind of expects the viewer to be somewhat familiar with the subject matter. I would have like to go into more detail, but I didn't want to replace or try to improve upon what's already been done. It took me almost 16 minutes to tell the story of the VOTF contract in the original movie. Maybe people will be curious enough about it to go download the original?
Quote:
I really wanted to like this one, Seleene, but I can't give it the luffles I want to. If it had more context... it would be the best EVE vid ever released. As it is, it's simply "good".
That's fine and I really appreciate you taking the time to write up such an honest critique.

Gord, I'd have loved to see the original 42-minute version. I do understand where you're coming from though, and I had guessed that this project was holding other videos back.
I can't wait to see the other sutff, but it's always a little annoying when one thing is cut a bit short to facilitate the making of other things.

Mmmmmerf. If you want people to download other stuff though, why make the History vid... Again, I see where you're coming from. This is just my "don't release/do/turn in something unless it's absolutely fracking spectacular" instinct kicking in. (Something that's probably gotten me in a lot of trouble in the past, TBH...)
(Also, I'm not saying that downloading old MC vids is a bad thing. Hell, the aforementioned VOTF vid has tempted me to seriously inquire about BDCI membership many a time. The subject of this thread sure isn't helping that feeling given Andre's current corpless state. )

<3. Always. That said, I do have to include some positives (and one more "negative"):
Teh Musicses: Evanescence is the rock, especially this Remix you use. Also, the music that's similar to Leafo's tuneage from the "MC advert video" as the "MC theme" made me cream my pants. Video music continuity is a dream, a little dream, of mine, and I'm happy to see it happen.
However!
A video about the MC. About the history of the MC. About all the battles fought, all the battles won, all the blood shed...
AND YOU DON'T INCLUDE A SINGLE SONG BY NIGHTWISH?!?!
BLASPHEMY!!!
Teh Footage: Sure, we've seen it before, but the timing with the music and the usage is just perfect. That, and to be honest, I prefer slightly lower-quality vids that I can actually download in a timely fashion to half-gig widescreen monstrosities. <3.
So yes. Again, could have been better (especially given what it "could" be), but it isn't "bad" by any stretch of the imagination.
Hmm... BDCI membership... well, if Blinky did it...

This is my first real movie in nearly a year. Who are these people who constantly praise me? Are any of them single?? (No, I'm not asking about you, Hast.)
So, what exactly do you have an issue with other than the fact that I apparently kicked your dog and broke up with your sister on Valentine's Day? Criticism is fine. Alt trolling is not.

Finally the finished product!
And I must say I am very impressed! Not an easy task to try and scale down over 2 years of events and footage in to one movie, without it getting boring.
I dunno if I would be able to that tbh, just to sort out the right footage...what a task!
Awesome job dude! Truly impressed.
//Leafo
P.S.
And for you that wondered how I (NSN) got in contact in the first place there was two major things:
1) Started with video talk (Seleene needing help finding the icon for Premiere ).
2) During the PA contract, mentioned in the video, BDCI was killing everything with minimal losses. Until one night when they encountered a corp they had just vaguely heard about, and got spanked good! (it's true)

QUALITY!
Makes you question yourself about what you are getting out of Eve and aspire to get more than you thought was possible.
To the bored and disaffected with Eve, watch this vid and look for the answer within yourself to why you are having a hard time "having fun" in Eve.
There is a certain amount of "inspiration" in the MC concept. The idea that you can try something few would dare to and through hard work and organization see that concept bloom within the confines of Eve's free-form trade system.
