I think this looks good, and synced as well, but I want some opinions.

Alright, I'm gunna be brutally honest with you okay. I'm not crazy about it. The actual intro at the beginning is kinda boring for me. It just doesn't Pop. maybe brighten it up or change the background a bit. Maybe a radial ramp or something?

I'm also no a big fan with all the spinning in the rest of it. It makes me dizzy =/ I think its just too fast or something. It's a good idea, but it's not exactly there yet.

Not trying to be mean, but you wanted criticism.

For the intro at the beginning do you think if I changed the background color if that would help at all? Whats a radial ramp, an example please? Whats the good idea? Also Whats too fast, do you mean it moves too much, or that the text pops up to quickly?

This is a radial ramp/gradient:

You don't have to do this exactly. It's just the first thing that came to my mind.

By the spinning I mean in the video part. You spin after each kill, it's kinda funny, but I don't think it really fits. It goes really fast and I personally don't like it. The only way I think it would look cool is if you did a spin, which led into another spin. Sort of like a continuous transition. It'd probably be hard to do, but I think that'd look cool if you wanted t keep a little spinning in there.

I agree with you totally, I just downloaded some black ops clips from somewhere, and it turned out to be those ones, If i had a better collection of clips that people liked I'd disagree with you. I don't like how people spend all of the COD time spinning to get kills, and no scoping, but a lot of people like to make montages out of that just youtube "Cod game" sniper montage to see some of the stuff people do.

I picked that clip for the first clip just because of the ladder, and the explosion that goes with the EPIC text and masking. After the ladder is climbed, the character goes to the window in like a moon walk, tell me what you think about that. Then what about the editing with the speed not whats happening just how fast it happens. Don't say anything about the spinning because I can't control that lol. Does it look like realistic speed except for the spinning.

Edit: Thx for the info on the radial ramp/gradient

i think you kind of over edited the second clip. It was a good clip but i could barely tell what was going on

Was it too fast? Did it transition too quickly between everything? What exactly was over done so that you couldn't tell what was going on? Thx for your input.

it looks like you put two layers on top of eachother and made the top one translucent put they are timed differently. it just makes it kinda blurry and it looks like the middle part actual kill part is cut off. it would be better if it was just the one layer with 1 or 2 effects. but the first clip is good
