Overall not bad.

1. I'm not a fan of the screaming song, but that is personal preference.

2. You use replay's of shots too much, only the most ridiculous kills deserve them.

3. A few of the shots have a bit too much lead up or follow time after the kill

4. at the end when you begin to use effects, make is so my eyes don't bleed jk. don't over do it, spread out the use of effects.

5. try to time kills to the beat of the song, it makes it look WAY more professional.

I have to agree on Reclaimer with this one, I liked the intro part until I started hearing the dude sing.

Your cc has good quality just a bit of saturation issues but it's still good enough to film with.

Glad to see this wasn't done in movie maker, at least you're making the effort to become better.

I completely agree with Mr. R and Mr. F.

Definitely tone down on the effects and edit to the music...if that's possible. :P

Is this your first time putting something together?

Thanks alot for the advice :)
As I said this is just a first draft of the video, and I'm not going to be taking it too seriously, just using it as more of a play-around to work with my filming and editing skills.
Also, this isn't really meant to be a "OMGWTFHEZAMAZINGMLGPRO" montage, its more of a "funtage" of clips I've saved and valuable kills I find cool. XD

Number 1 of Reclamiers points - I understand that music taste is different in everyone so this cannot be changed. I may change the song anyways as I've found it doesn't really have many "oomph" moments where I can synchronize the footage with. Its just I love the intro of that song so much, and think it does go well for the intro I have.
All the other points are extremely helpful and I thankyou, Reclaimer, for stating them. With the effects at the end of the video the only one I didn't really think fitted was the spinning shit, and I do now realise that it is quite "painful" to the eyes.

Fuzzduck: Again, your music taste may also differ so there is not much I can do, but I'm glad you watched through it anyway (even if you thought the singing was bad XD).
I will play around with the saturation settings on my CC. If you can help me out, by telling me exactly what is wrong with it, that would be nice, as I'm not really amazing at sorting it out, haha!
One more thing, Movie Maker can suck my balls, I have been using Vegas 8.0 for a while now, but improvements are always being made :D

And teh Firestorm, this is my first time editing a montage, but I have edited a few movies before (years ago...) which should be on the internet somewhere. Whether I want you guys to see them or not.. is a different matter XP

Thanks for advice guys! :)
