OryaN's Highlight Reel (SSBB MLG Film Festival)

[Oryan]

Here is a little background information on me...

I'll be honest, I've never touched a fighting game until Smash. I've never touched smash until a month ago. Thats right, I never played 64 or Melee, just watched a bunch of my friends at college play in their dorms. It seemed like fun, so I thought I might aswell give it a try when brawl came out. Lemme tell ya, I was instantly hooked.

Being a video editor, It only came natural to make a montage showing my skills. Sadly, my skills weren't as good as the standards out when i first started playing. I began practicing every day until I had a firm grasp on most situations and styles.

I went to a few local tourneys and capped footage there, I sifted through all my matches and these clips are the ones I came up with.

Anyways with that said, I hope you enjoy the video and its editing. It took a lot of hard work and a bunch of trail and error graphics work. I've been editing videos for awhile, mainly fps, so it was kinda difficult editing a fighting video in the same aspect but i believe this turned out quite well.

*SIDENOTE*
This video won me both community choice ($500) and MLG top 5 ($1000) for their film festival contests. Wooo $1500 in my pocket :D

Would you also mind sending me a copy of the video? thanks

 

[Prax]

This is probably the best put together brawl video yet. Great job, you're better than me and I've been playing since 2003 (though I only discovered smashboards about a year ago.)

 

[Ballistics]

Holy cow that was awesome, cool editing, all combo vids should be like this

 

[DavieBoy]

You should go into the moving making business with your awesome effects in that video. Really good job I wouldn't be surprised if people wanted you to edit there combo videos for now on haha.

 

[orintemple]

Holy **** that editing was ****ing amazing. That was without a doubt the most well made Brawl video, I have ever seen. You playing was very good too, especially for only a month, but the editing!

WOW!
That was very impressive, take it from someone who goes to school for that stuff. (kinda)

 

[sidefx]

wow.. i really wasnt expecting that at all.. hahaha really really good editing, put everyone elses to shame.

good luck in the competition =D i need to hit you up on aim, i need you to shine some light on a couple things for me

 

[GamerGuitarist7]

the editing was incredible! i liked it a lot

 

[GiantKiller]

The excellent video editing turned what would've been some above-average play footage into an amazing montage vid. Great work!

Hope to see more in the future.

[DMK.]

Very nice video! More of the same, please!

 

[Stormblast]

Wow, this is really awesome. Im looking forward to seeing more from you in the future =)

 

[Magnawolf]

****, that was great.

 

[shanus]

that editting was fantastic, way to raise the bar :-D

 

[XACE-K]

Thank you. I thought DBR's video was the best until I saw yours and now I can't decide which is better so thank you very much for making this difficult.

 

[Oryan]

Thanks everyone again for the compliments. As for making more videos, I plan on making another one soon. It will be showcasing all the players that go to my college (UNF).

[Kujirudo]

My god, it's short but it's straight to the point. You show quite the skills and you're editing... Well, I guess I can't say anything else but 'maximum sweetness'. That shot of Marth finishing Dedede is hilarious and the 'Estimating Farore's Wind Position' effect is also very nice. Too bad that it's so short, but I can say it's a **** good start.

 

[Cero]

holy carp!!!
it felt like I was watching a full-length CGI movie or something
and your playing skills are PHENOMENAL considering you've only been playing for a month!...
keep up the good work Oryan

 

[Snail]

That was absolutely amazing! :D The editing was so awesome... More pl0cks! >:o

 

[LozanoGarbanzo]

Ever done editing for fps vids?

 

[Silfa]

Beyond awesome.

Very nice work.

 

[ThatGuy]

That was some incredible video editing. Fantastic job.

 

[Oryan]

I'm currently working on a fps video, but I can't give any info on it yet :D

[bossyjellyfish]

Your awesome. =P.

 

[lilo]

Excellent editing and although it was only a few clips, that was highly impressive

To the other commenter's, have you never watched a counter-stirke "montage" before? Or even a decent Halo montage? This quality is about on par if not a little better Common, but still very enjoyable

10/10

 

[Mizar]

I'd say a f-ing 10 for the editing and an 8 for overall gameplay
Seriously, one of the best vids at this moment

 

[animul]

Smexy editing and your marth game is great.

 

[ToP CaT]

cool i guess, but marth kind of ruined it
