[VIDEO] Appreciation

So, I thought about this for a while before posting.

I know you mentioned how people often ask you to make longer videos (I guess I myself fit into that category at times), but I think this could have been amazing had it been ~20 min range. It seems like you sat on these clips longer than usual to make a longer video, but still left the 'iffy' fights in just to make length.

Fights like the Domi (with sentries) vs Harb + Cane, or the Talos vs Stabber + Ruppie just really left a bad (boring?) taste in my mouth.

Anyway, the video was still really really good, I think it's the best of yours I have seen in a while. Since this carries the 'appreciation' name and message, I have to reciprocate by saying thanks for making these. I get annoyed with your rage and arrogance in teamminmatar at times, but none-the-less the Frigank series, as well as these subsequent ones, really got me excited about honour pvp back in the day.

I have to concur with Zach on this one.

I quite enjoyed the video and I think I have pretty much every single video you have made on my hard drive, so you have definitely been a very inspirational influence on my pvp.

The only thing that let this video down was a small handful of pretty average fights compared to the heights this video reached. It was kind of like a rollercoaster watching this video, from excitement and adrenaline pumping one clip, to disappointment 1 or 2 clips later, and then back to epic footage again.

I hope this doesn't sound too harsh. Bear in mind I am holding you to a very, very high standard based on your long track record. The majority of fights in this video were really good, a few of them were quite exceptional and imo some of your best stuff to date, and then a few were kind of lacklustre and I felt didn't really belong.

Still a great piece of work and I hope you PvP enough to release a new one in not too distant future :)

Downloading at the moment and very much looking forward to it.

Most of your movies so far have been very inspiring. I have high hopes for this one

This movie is more about different ships shooting each other than the pvp.
PvP is a bit more deep thing than 1600smallrepapproachhopetolive. Atleast for showing it off.
Hope you understand me, tie

Were you looking to be entertained or were you looking to learn from them?

TBH, if you're only looking to be entertained, you're certainly doing it wrong.

You might look it for learn, but i look it to be entertained.
I know those 2/3 fights i quoted are less interesting than the others cause an ishtar with crazy resist in kinetic hit by a trauma missile drake have some great chance of survavilities :)

After i meant absolutly no offence in that, don't get me wrong please.
I'm gratefull ppl like proms edit nice vids.

thank you to understand

I'll echo the other posters by saying there were some real gems of fights especially the BS stuff and Astarte stuff! But also there were some mediocre fights and the kind of stuff that I personally delete from my HD straight away. But in the end, your excellent music selection and camera and editing skills make it all so enjoyable to watch, why complain?

I think it's also interesting how focused your movies are on 'the fight' itself, basically showcasing your module management (which is great, but start your armor reppers a bit earlier please Ugh). I always think about the 'setup' and orchestration of the fight much more, which you clearly do for your fights - there's no way you actually find all those ships sitting alone I'm sure - but it is completely absent from the video. The result is a really concise rapid-fire viewing experience which is fun but also somewhat mystifying for anyone who has actually done extensive solo work. I'm not saying either approach is better/worse by any means, I'm just commentating. Smile

I liked it prom. The "chill" attitude in this one paid off for me.

Top tier SOLO4LYFE action yet agian.

Loved some of the clips more than the others but I think people forget.... or simply don't realise that your approach to pure solo is in fact hard-mode Eve.

There's not many people that can keep kicking out videos of this nature with such consistent watchability.
