Hi,
So, I'd like to give you some advice if you plan on making something like this again. This is my opinion. For obvious reasons I didn't watch this all the way. It's 28 minutes.. It's extremely long and that's kinda a problem. There are plenty of 18-30 minute videos that are amazing to watch because they have commentary. For example,
Grian with Hermitcraft. They're all around the 20 minutes and when they're over it feels like only a couple minutes have passed. Now, there's a big different between a survival gameplay and a PvP gameplay. However, trying to find a video to showcase a good 20 minute PvP video, is hard. Most people realize that, that's too long. You showed Skyblock for only a few seconds, why? There are plenty of interesting things to show in Skyblock. Finishing a quest, exploring a new island. Just cut out the boring parts. Technoblade was able to make an
18 minute Skyblock video, then make a part two, 14 minutes long. Both were about farming potatoes, yet he makes it interesting.
Your video however, it's painful to watch all the way. It's not interesting. It's too long and boring.
What you did is gather some clips from different games, put them all together. Without barely any skips (Skywars). If you show a full gameplay, it needs to be interesting. Walking around, placing some blocks, isn't interesting. People who do post a lot of Skywars typ games, have commentary for the viewer to focus on. If there's no commentary, they just show the interesting parts. Killing someone, saving yourself from death. There are plenty of videos of people playing Skywars without commentary, but they're short.
This video starts out with someone building, yet it's interesting due to the editing.
Livestreams are 1-3 hours long, but with the right person you can easily watch it all without even realizing it's been a couple hours.
In the Eggwars part you did cut parts, but it mainly exists out of you getting diamonds, being in the death mode, which is boring. Show the parts where you kill someone, get great great, break some eggs. Show action. You have some fighting around 7:20, but you slowed it down. Making it boring. After the so far only Eggwars action, you show you getting some items and eating an golden apple and steak. That's not interesting.
Minerware.. You start off speeding up the waiting time.. We're here to see you play the game, not jump around.. Please.. Why did you include this? This is beyond boring.. This waiting time is longer then the Skyblock part.. Overall, this is an extremely long. Cut out the boring parts, waiting time, answering a question etc. Just show the action. That's why the Parkour part, comparing to the other parts, is one of the best. It's not long, it shows pure action. But then you go to PvP, and have a bunch of boring parts. Yes, fighting is action, but the missing hits, the parts before that aren't very fun to look add if there's no edits. Then you also proceed to slow it down.. again.. It was a very awkward fight, and that's mainly the fault of the PvP system. But the job of an editor is to make the fight appealing. FFA.. you start of with walking, then you get into action, and you.. stop? You just hit him with your fist and move on? Cut that part out.. It's boring, there's no reason to add it.
It then becomes even worse when you show even more footage of you running around and hitting people with your first.. As you move on to the next part, you can still see some action. That's more action that most of the parts you actually showed..
Assassinations, same thing, running around. Barely any action. Showing you collecting items isn't boring perse. There's a part in
Grian's Hermitcraft video I talked about in the beginning, he collects fish heads. He speeds up him killing the fish and cuts out the parts where he swims to another fish. Cutting out the parts where you walk to another chest, and speeding up the part where you collect the coins, would make it much better to watch.
Tower Defence, Lucky Islands, same story. Show moments with action. I can go into details, again, but it all ends up with ''skip the boring parts.'' and I'm getting tired of writing so let's move on to the title..
''CubeCraft Movie''. I'm pretty sure this isn't seen as a movie.
Any story that has been recorded by a camera, shown in a set of moving images, on either television or a theater screen is considered a movie.
It could be seen as a movie, it shows moving images that were recorded by a camera.. but if I think of a movie, I think of Avengers: Endgame.. Mamma Mia.. The Tourist.. The Greatest Showman.. They're all wonderful movies which include a storyline and characters. This? Doesn't have a story, doesn't have characters.. This is not a movie.
I'm going to finish this pretty harsh, but I need to say this.. Did you expect anyone to fully watch this? I didn't fully watch it, I skipped most parts. The parts I did watch, I watched because I wanted to give advice. I made a Spleef montage, it's around 1 minute and 42 seconds, and I already know most people won't watch everything. I'll probably end up cutting it because it's just too long. It's the same.
If you expected anyone to fully watch this, I don't have any words.. I'm sorry.
Feel free to ask anything else, but I'm heading off right now. Spend around an hour writing this and I'm tired, I'm going to watch some Youtube videos or perhaps movies..
