Hello,
IFve just finished my first ever movie and someone said I should put it up
for display and have it dissected like I do other peoples movies! 
I wasnFt sure what to make a movie about and since I wasnFt in the mood to try
and out do the masters in story telling I was a bit frustrated.
I started`made a few things`trying to learn the software and its tricks
(Damn there is a lot of stuff to play with!) without sucking up to Leafo too much.
Managed to get most of the things working except some text, coding and
workspace settings. IFm kinda surprised my self!
Anyhow, I sat there getting nowhere in my tstoryv but when watching through
tons of clips it hit me; THIS is why I play, this is why WE play.
So I made a movie on why I/we play this game, in a tribute to CCP and the idea
that have given me so much fun during the past 1.2 years!
So without further a do` Judge me!
----------------------------------
Why we do it!
Running length: 07:26 min
Filesize: 66 MB
Filetype: Windows Media Video 9 (wmv)
File: Right-click and save as...
Soundtrack: See end credits for all details on the video
Time to make: 1 month on and off, 5 hours of pure work in the end
----------------------------------
Best Regards,
LOWA
ps. "WE" would be people that like to shoot at stuff 
Oh! Yeah! Huh! MC - Going funky all over your clone baby! |

Bah, you said that you just wanted to try out Premiere a bit and then you made this?!? 
I never should have helped you when you asked stuff about the program!
This is simply amazing for a first video Lowa! I envy you for starting out at this level, you bastard!
Good job!

Killer Camera work, rockin' soundtrack, and the fading in and out towards the end with all the missiles flying around was exceedingly neat.
Not as flashy as I've come to except from other MC vids, but in this case Less was definetly more. I'd give it 10 Ice cubes on the "cooler-than-cool" O-Meter.

This video is fantastic, great choice for soundtrack, played Eve for over a year now and never even thought to move the camera back to take a view of a battle around me! Doh!!! If this is your first offering, I can't wait for your next ones!!!! Definite Oscar nomination for Best Director, Best movie, Best special effects (well, had to put that one in so CCP get something for it!).

I got bored at around 60%, 'cause I like faster paced viddies.
Still think you really did some nice edition, the flow was very smooth and the music wasn't bad at all! :)

Very nice vid! I love the scene where that incursus class ship fly straight up with a prophecy exploding in the background (also used in the last mc-foe video i think), that is so cool.

Bah... how are the rest of us supposed to compete with stuff like this?
Some outstanding camerawork here, first and foremost. I love the warp scene where first the Maller slides in, then the Brutix appears, then the Coercer, then the spin around revealing the rest. The drone view is a new one on me too, and used to great effect against that Raven.
Good choice of music as well, fairly even-paced throughout once it got going, which would have given you plenty of scope to play with while putting it together, I'd imagine.
In terms of storytelling, there isn't much said outside of the beginning and end, but it's definitely a good thing in this case - the visuals by themselves do all the talking that's needed. It certainly worked for me.
Without a doubt, this is one of the finest Eve vids I've ever seen, and easily the best "first" vid I've ever seen, assuming it really is your first. Be honest now.

I know it is hard to believe but I know it is so, the guy opened Premiere for the first time ever like a month ago.

It's really all about the choice of clips, the slow pace of the music... the feel of the thing. Leafo and I try to tell stories or dazzle the viewer with a barrage of images. What Lowa has done is similar to what I tried to do with my Dawn of Exodus vid, which is just let the images speak for themselves.
The difference is that Lowa didn't put much of a focus on anything but the game itself and how it makes him feel. There is no real message beyond, "This is why we play."
From an internal perspective, I watch this video and catch myself recognizing things and going, "Hey! I remember that!" I watch this movie and think of all the good times on TS over the past couple months since the MC formed. I think about how much more I look forward to logging in than at any other time since I first started playing.
Lowa put his 'heart' into this movie and it shows.
I consider this movie to be something that CCP would be foolish not to use in some way. I've seen some of the pathetic excuses for 'player-made movies' that FilePlanet posts up to promote World of Warcraft and I wonder what those sheep would think if they saw something like this?
