This is the first video I've posted on these forums and I named it "the parthian shot", a tactic used by ancient parthian cavalry which was to shoot arrows behind them while the enemy chased, which i thought fitting (You all know it as 'kiting').

Music is from CCP and called Minmatar002, all fights solo and only the one inside the wormhole sees me using links.

I prefer to keep my video's short so its under 4 minutes.

very nice stuff, and good luck too on that sabre not having scram ^^ I really like kite footage, much more fun to watch imo than rather uninteractive armor fights

unfortunate about there being no good celestials to align to after the ishkur bails out of damage range, letting the mach run you down :/

the fight where you died to that mach was i thought pretty solid footage aside from that like killing a cane in a nado isnt really top notch stuff. overally i give it a 7.5/10 shame it wasnt longer, definately worth a watch!

technically its not the first vid I've put together, its just the first one I advertized on the forums, have a look at the others on the channel.

Really nice video. Good piloting and great job finding cynabal pilots kind enough to fly right into your guns (le sigh).


What program did you use for compositing that tornado shot at the beginning of the video with the graphical overlays?

Manually tracked in Adobe After Effects cs4

I watched a tonne of tutorials and went through a fair few diferent intro's before settling for that one, i also watched the butterfly effect video a tonne so i could make it look more 'eve' like, took around 4 or 5 days. If you look at the other video's ive uploaded you can see how i've progressed over time.

Best player made intro Ive seen so far has been :

Really liked that but still no full video :( , Blender has totally changed since i last used it and the textures are a nightmare to get right.

I really like the content of the video and I have a lot of respect for those who solo pvp, however something about staring at the behind of a ship throughout the duration of the fight made me feel rather angsty.

lol, its like that so i can double click the heading they are going - makes it easier to lower transversal although i have a hard time with my 'spatial' awareness that other players dont seem to get at all, i was never any good at pool either though Big smile

at least i have fun and take a challenge, which is what games are for imo

Yeah, I know about transversal I'm just offering advice on how to improve the fight's visual quality.

But you're right to do take a challenge, something I've just started doing, I can never seem to get the part where my Cynabal doesn't die quite right...

i havent been able to not die at all lately, maybe i should just shoot at ratters instead of looking for gangs to fight
