Word Up.
« on: March 08, 2013, 09:05:56 AM »
This is the first video I saw of city of heroes demo-record commands, and it has forever stuck with me. I can't hear this song without thinking about city. This is probably the wrong thread, but I feel as though we all need a morale boost, and what better way, then with the dance gun?

Thanks my friends.  Those videos had me laughing out loud, literally.  They were the perfect medicine for melancholy on a Friday night when I'm missing our game home.  I really appreciate all the hard work y'all put in making those videos.

Now if only I could get those songs out of my head, chuckle.

Great vid, I just wish  the original Cameo version of the song had been used.

There is also at least one required costume piece for the replacement games in this vid :)

Very touching, that rendition of Pure Imagination and the accompanying video.

I would think those who are skilled at demo making could use this song to make a wonderful video:

I was just glad I was able to get YouTube to make it available again. Of course, I could do that video so much better now, but it does still hold a special place in my heart. :)

Funny how 2:27 sounds like the Zero Wing intro.

But how exactly would you redo it ? Using the camera sweep mainly ?
Yeeessss....

Oh, no. Much more varied (and faster-paced footage), better text effects, better demo-editing.

And probably better camera work. :)

Oh, not just better, you'd overhaul it.

For the text, even I would have done better... in Power Point :P (@Mister Bison, mockingly mocking video makers with Power Point since issue 13)
