hi in all honesty all are very good videos 😁
but my hat is down to @MHERLIN a very jaw dropping video the story line from beginning to end..the graphics and most importantly for me is how enticing it is to watch the video ..admit it guys for some of us we had goosebumps right?😍
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE 😁
 
My vote goes to @Heruvim
*Effects - Outstanding - Expected due to his knowledge and skills with such programs.
*Storrytelling - Very well written with very good chronology.
*Sync - Video synched with music, no compromises here, very good choice.
*Emotional factor - Hit the nostalgia 10/10. Remembering old times and past events that occured are entirely in the concept of this video

And last and the most important!:
*ORIGINAL - no AI used, entirely made with own skills, respecting the theme and the concept which SHOULD be present!

Good luck!
 
@Brask007 Not bad, but I did not fancy the transition into screenshots at 0:21, sudden change of music, I know a little bit about video editing and making the sound or image transition / fade in or out takes literally 2 seconds, so I feel like this step was a must and kind of ruins the video a bit if it is not there. Otherwise a cool vid, maybe a bit over saturated with effects on screenshots, but that is subjective. Good work.

@Hosea First seconds, amazing work, but then it goes downhill. Buy wings, dance on the bridge, scenes themselves are good, but they take a little bit too much of the video itself, they could have been 5 times shorter, due to that, they felt like filler material, and it ruins the watching experience a bit. Making 2 separate sections, T3 sets and T1&T2 is weird, should have been something like "3 tiers of uber sets" and have them all in 1 segment. But overall, still a decent work.

@MHERLIN Visually, very nice, really feels like a trailer of the game, it's a pretty cool watch, but I somehow feel like it's not for the game we have here, the vibe is different. Of course the screenshots save the vibe to show what the game really feels like, and the transitions matching the music is also a good touch. Solid entry.

@Collapse Ah, Havost, my favourite infinitian. Reuse of screenshots in video feels really bad, and making yourself the centre of attention in many parts somehow feels wrong. It just feels like there is not enough information about the server itself and why it is unique.

@HacoB Interesting story telling, first time I saw myself in the video, which is of course not relevant for the vote or anything, just interesting point for myself. I like how this video includes the various activities we have in the server, would have been nice if it included a segment that informed about combo for all classes, which is very unique feature for season 3 server, but otherwise, a very solid introduction to what this server offers, as mentioned before, good story telling, which is very important for a video that must show what we provide for players, so far, this is one of my favourites in this sense, after all, intro must be informative, and this does it very well. I would have liked a bit better quality for the video, but then again, this is a really old game and for the game itself, the vibe of that time video making matches it, so it kinda fits.

@Lucifer Wayback machine for forum feels weird. It fits the history part of the idea of course, but it doesn't look right. The rest, it kind of feels mediocre. It's not bad, but it's not good either.

@xxSlash Use of AI is evident, but that does not remove from the work in my opinion, it's actually kind of cool to see. Also very nice story telling, explaining of things, showing various features, not as much as HacoB did, but still a very solid entry in that regard, it was actually an enjoyable watch, cool work.

@Sugbo It looks nice, it shows a bit of this and that, but that is about it. It's too short, it lacks in explaining what we are or what we have. Despite being a cool short vid, it is all it is, a cool short vid, in which regard it is good, but for the idea of the event, not so much.

@Heruvim Well, I did not expect any less from you, and cool, I saw myself again. It shows several features, quality is nice, content is enough, not too much, not too little, maybe could have included more feature wise to capture the idea of what we offer. Also a very nice entry.

I would like to vote for Heruvim due to the quality of the video, I always want to prefer quality over quantity, but in this instance, I feel like lack of quantity is also not good, not screenshot wise, but explanation wise, in storytelling of what it is that we offer now. Video must feel inviting, show the growth of the server, show what we have become and what we offer, and I feel like HacoB's entry captures this idea the best. If Heruvim's quality and overall content was mixed with idea and content of HacoB's video, it would be a perfect unison to capture the idea of what I would have liked to see in a perfect world. That said, my vote goes to HacoB.
 
I appreciate everyone’s effort and creativity in this contest. It’s clear that a lot of time and passion went into each entry.
I want to highlight the two videos that stood out to me the most, which are Mherlin’s and Heruvim’s.
Mherlin’s video truly felt like a game trailer.
His work stood out because of the graphics, precise sound timing, strong font choices, and the way he brought the InfinityMU logo to life.
The storytelling and overall presentation created a powerful and exciting impact.

Heruvim’s entry also deserves recognition for the effort and nostalgic atmosphere it delivered. It brought back classic memories,
and I respect the dedication behind it. Both entries are commendable,
but the one that left the strongest impression on me was Mherlin’s.
Which is why my vote goes to
MHERLIN.


. GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATS GUYS
 
@Heruvim got my vote, great and dedicated work with his own skills.
 
I voted for this thieving blackie, @Heruvim. I loved the fact that I saw my duel SS there, in which I utterly destroyed Aga and most likely bullied him into his cheating life back then. :kekwlaugh: :drunktards: :pikathumbsup: And it follows the required rules stated in the original event thread, which covers the history and eras of InfinityMU, as was very well presented in Heruvim's video. Quite a few of the entries here,contain things that have nothing to do with InfinityMU. Even though they are cool, they are not what the event and theme were about.

All videos are very nice, good job everyone.
BUT, i must say the entries between MHERLIN and Heruvim are quite impressive
Mherlin: cinematic stuff i would say are very interesting for some people, it gives some curiosity for the game specially for new people who wishes to try our server. Effects and the edition are very good.
Heruvim: Used the typical mmorpg stuff, specially for our current server, the unique old and standing server for years, also the edition was amazing.

i wish i could vote for you two but my vote goes for Mherlin, it caught my attention so fast (maybe because the content and the cinematic is something i never saw before).

Good luck everyone.
 
First of all, I would like to thank everyone who shared videos and contributed to bringing back old memories. All of the submissions were great; however, I believe that some videos relied too heavily on artificial intelligence. I think Lucifer truly deserves it for creating the most original content by beautifully combining both video footage and captured screenshots. My vote goes to Lucifer!
 
Great job, everyone.
Some of them had too much story/introduction and not enough in-game footage of what it actually looked like.
However, in my opinion, three people stood out from the crowd: MHERLIN, Sugbo, and Heruvim.
Ultimately, Heruvim did the best, in my opinion and according to the criteria given.
His graphic flair is clearly evident.
 
Aloha

well all of ya guys did a great job but mostly i liked Heru's and Luci's edits.. rly good videos u made guys and it was rly hard for meh whom to vote but my vote goes to Hero..
GL guys
 
In my humble opinion, the purpose of this event is to create not only an advertising around introduction & server information,
The important is.. the story, the history of this Community,
As I watch most of the entries' concept are like games' advertising, it feels empty and ordinary,

The concept are clear : to show InfinityMU's soul, the journey from beginning until today,
iMU is not only a game, it also a Community where brings people together from around the world.

I like two entries : Lucifer's & Heruvim's
I feels both entries are follow the theme & concept,

My Vote goes for Heru, his editing skills is obviously better and I really really love the introduction,
it makes me goosebumps when the sound and visual hit me,
those screenshots, records, really bring the nostalgic memory years ago,
Thank you for this amazing video~!
 
i liked both heruvim and mherlin’s entries, but i voted for mherlin. both showed skills and creativity, but i really liked the storytelling and overall creativity of mherlin’s video, and it honestly made me feel nostalgic while watching.
 
All entries are nice and beautiful salute to everyone who participated to this event, For me I choose to vote for Collapse because his entry showcase the history, PvP system ingame, and longevity of the game, which caught my attention due to its originality. The music also synchronizes with the pictures well. Good luck to all participants.
 
I vote for @Lucifer, because I like the way he makes a story out of the things he gather, also from the criteria, he met all of those, I can see the story line being build up. I feel nostalgic as I see the old forum. I mean wow! I am old! Also, I like the way he transition the before and after in the middle putting @Davido having SPG with @RESiSTANT.

All in all, his content and materials are origin and not a copy paste video from youtube. This is hard work. Keep it up @Lucifer Good luck everyone!
 
I agree with what @Scarlette said, we should have been using InfinityMU footage. Doesn't matter how cool those visuals are, when it's actually not "InfinityMU".

I like Luci's, Collapse's and Heru's. But I'm voting for @Heruvim. He seems like he planned his entry around everyone else's since he submitted it on the last day(like me), he probably worked on it longer than others and that's why it's just cleaner and overall better in my opinion.

Sadly we cannot vote for 2nd/3rd places. Props to everyone else tho, cool to see a lot of entries.
 
I really love all entries, I can see a lot of work behind. Sadly I can vote only for one of them.
My vote goes to @MHERLIN , every single thing is just impressive.

Good luck to all participants.
