"Dutchy Montage 2" - Edited by ExuS

This is such a badass comp.

Black Box's angles are just too good.

I just dont think the definition of cinematography in halo videos is the same as in like movies. I still would vote for Contractus and Black Box in second for best angles. But to me 1st person gameplay is apart of the camera recording. If the entire montage was just 3rd person then yeah that definition would apply but its not. Its in first person with angles every little while. but yeah either way Contractus gets my vote.

no but seriously lemme retry explaining my point.

Ok so in movies Cinematography is like how the camera is used.

In movies it is never 1st person view.

So in a halo montage since it is pretty much all first person the cinematography is the actual gameplay. So pretty much the person playing the game is like the camera recording angles in movies, it is showing the footage of the movie. Not sure if you guys get what im trying to say but yeah. Makes complete sense to me.

oh here is another thing that might make you understand:

imagine if there was no HUD. What does it look like? It would pretty much look like a camera going around the map showing people die, just like an angle would.

ANYONE GET WHAT I AM TYPING!!?

*facepalm*

That has nothing to do with this competition's intention of the award. Please vote based on the definition we give you, otherwise these sub-awards are meaningless. Refer back to the original post, don't make up your own inaccurate interpretation.

it says the award is for best angles and how the editor used them. I am saying that the clips are in fact angles as well. So I am voting for which video used all the footage the best.

anyways my opinion of what it is aside, best "angles" goes to Contractus.

oh and i redid my post above you frag.

That's great.

but that's not what this award is about. When you read a sign that says "STOP" when you're driving, you don't say "Oh hey, maybe it's telling me to STOP driving so slow", and then speed up. You stop your f..king car because that's the meaning the government assigned to that sign.

Read the OP. Understand what the award is about. Vote accordingly. Stop with your nonsense interpretations, clip placement has NOTHING to do with this award. That is for Best Editing award, and the gameplay itself is for Best Gameplay.

make the award best angles not best cinematography.

anyways im done. you typing in bold doesnt mean you are right.
