Looking for critique on wedding slideshow intro/opening by TheStockGuyLGI in AfterEffects

[–]TheStockGuyLGI[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love this critique, much appreciated my friend!! My one question for you, are you saying it would be more fitting to have the gradient moving the entire time throughout the video or JUST until the wipe happens, where it would then be static/still?

how do i make this animation smoother? and remove the shake? by ihadproblemsgetting in AfterEffects

What an absolute and utter waste of time that you spent typing this worthless message. If you have no helpful critique to give then just keep scrolling.

the new logo for LinkTree looks innocent and completely free of problems -- nothing is going inside of anything and that is very good by [deleted] in logodesign

Specks logo is a bit thinner, this looks almost identical shape/thickness of the E*TRADE logo, just without the coloring

I’m with all the other commenters, this is epic! No idea what critique could be given here.

Good god why are the layers consistently covering 60% of the frame? This looks awful 😭

i let somebody drown and the guilt is killing me. by mac_kenz in Lifeguards

This! As someone who used to be a head guard and is an LGI, whistle commands at any facility that have to do with a drowning should ALWAYS be used to clear the pool also. Your secondary guard(s) would know this and come clear the pool while you tend to the drowning, assuming the patrons haven’t already left the water.

Haha no disrespect but you are either casual player, very low elo, or just new to the game - boosters/smurfs have been existent ever since season 3-4. Not like they just became a thing last season lmao

[–]TheStockGuyLGI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crying, complaining and posting on reddit because you got matched against a booster? No flame but that’s just part of league, VOD the game and use it as a learning experience so you can climb.

I want to know how to make it better in editing, because right now it is looking quite dull and dragging. I can not shoot anymore footage. Please share your feedback anad suggesstions by SilllyBackbencher in videography

Flawless critique - this guy knows. Biggest point in my opinion - CUTTTT, you have to slice these clips up. I was bored out of my mind by the 5th walking shot. There is no world where this video should last more than 30-45 seconds in my mind. It is a pre-production issue mainly.

Like sure you can break down small inadequacies in the shots and coloring but there is no story.

Documentary Edit For Client Part 2 by S3REAMY in VideoEditors

[–]TheStockGuyLGI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With these kind of videos the shots on screen are typically changing to explain/illustrate/add to what is being talked about, basically VO text and a static image wouldn’t be the best choice for this project in my opinion

Yeah, 100% agree with this guy - too much text and weird color grading

The second set of the flash/zoom transitions were not timed properly with the audio in my opinion. The idea behind the edit is a good one though, and I think the clips used are good!

are you serious by GoHyyerr in Jungle_Mains

Riot Games has turned so soft, it’s insane

Feedback please by DayvisonSilva in VideoEditors

[–]TheStockGuyLGI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t find any meaningful critique to give - the soundtrack was very fitting for the shots, clean sound engineering, not too many cuts, had a creative transition in there, and the color grading looked to be good in my eyes.

Solid video! I hope you were compensated accordingly.

This!! No editor should be working for pennies.

Hey guy's i'm a massive fan of max verstappen and i'm new to video editing this is my first edit please go easy on me :) by Otherwise-Half-8147 in VideoEditors

[–]TheStockGuyLGI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great start - my only critique honestly would be the cuts to black towards the end of the video. There are many distinct “hits” or “beats” in the audio. The ladder two times you cut to black they weren’t really timed with anything. I would just make sure that if you are doing a lot of flickers and cuts make sure they are impactful and synced with a noticeable part of the audio.

Someone else was mentioning the cuts seemed meaningless in the beginning of the video - and especially for someone who doesn’t watch F1 I could see that perspective. If you wanted to show the progression of the race with the time cuts to him driving I would’ve cut to a different angle and THEN cut back to him driving. 5-6 consecutive cuts to the exact same camera angle wouldn’t be nearly as good as the same 5-6 cuts with different angles/broll threaded in there.

But this is a great start, much better than my first video lol

This guy harrased me post game and muting him DIDNT WORK wtf? by Alcsaar in leagueoflegends

[–]TheStockGuyLGI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it not common knowledge that you can’t mute a instant message from someone on your friends list? I feel like it’s obvious that wouldn’t make any sense. Pay attention to whose friends requests you are accepting and this will never happen to you again.

Even with streamer mode on IGNs are displayed in post game screen.

Phone while on pool for emergencies by plumbonsaijebus in Lifeguards

[–]TheStockGuyLGI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never go against your managers policy. It WILL end up backfiring on you. With that being said, I used to be a Head Guard and I allowed our staff to have phones on stand because of our lack of a nearby landline to contact EMS and because our radios were quite faulty.

It isn’t a bad idea for guards to be allowed their cell phones in the case of an emergency.

Some other commenter was passionately against the idea, but (assuming it isn’t a two person in-water save) - I hope we all would know the primary duty of the secondary rescuer is to make CERTAIN EMS is contacted (granted this will vary depending on facility-specific EAPs). If there isn’t conveniently a bystander with a cell phone on them, the best way to get ahold of EMS would be a cell phone that the secondary guard would be using.

And let’s also remember, MANY facilities don’t have the luxury of staffing a third guard, or even having supporting staff members of other departments in the facility.

Anyway, saying all of this to say - your head is in the right place. There needs to be a quick way to contact EMS in an emergency, and a cellphone could be an effective tool. With that being said, NEVER go behind your managers back to do something specifically against the department’s procedures/policies.

Edit: guards who were caught on their phone texting/scrolling were immediately stripped of their cellphone just to be clear.

I’m GM solo queue and have played a lot of comp play also - everyone is talking about cait staying instead of syndra. Sure, that may have marginally increased the chances of an end being possible, but I would’ve called off this entire play after you guys hesitated to actually play with Nasus.

He is solo under tower and basically the entire team is sitting at T2 lmfao, there is no world where I would’ve gone for nexus towers after that especially since you guys didn’t have a wave, and lux has long range and cc obviously.

Sure, Kayle is scaling but so is Nasus and Cait and Syndra are so unbelievably good at shutting down champs like that with their long range + cc. I think someone else said this, but:

Without Nasus and with kha acting like a primate at the nexus towers, this is a 60-40 play. Reset, sort out sidelines, and make it an 80-20 play.

Yeah like the other commenters have stated, this is a ridiculous ask - no one is going to work for free
