I think it was around September 2013, last year, that I came across Youtube having a space for me to put up a Channel Trailer or something. It was during then that I've decided to maybe try and cook up some short vid for it.
Not having any ideas then, nor skills, my thought at that moment was simply to just stock up on a couple of game clips first and then make things up as I go along...
Now, five months later, I've managed to collect quite a few gameplay vids and thus sought to try and realize it.
So after a whole day's ordeal, the following two clips are the fruits of my labor.
Version 1
Version 2
Version 1 was my original intention. But after finding it "too" quiet somehow, I decided to try out the "free" audio tracks thingy that Youtube offers and found one very interesting soundtrack that fits my vid.
Thus Version 2 was born. However, quite frankly...version 2 still isn't what I have in mind actually. If I had free reign and control, I would rather have the clip as a merge between Version 1 and 2. But somehow, I can't quite seem to get the original audio in version 1 (with the gameplay sound) to merge with version 2 (the free audio track) using the existing Youtube video editor.
(To be honest, it can be pretty easy for me to merge it myself using the editor I have on my comp and then upload it onto the channel, but my worry is that if I did it this way, then it would have infringed upon the artist of that song. And so I refrained from doing it.)
But nonetheless, I think its quite a feat that I've done here and it came out pretty good if I do say so myself. Don't you think so too?
(Though I think that Lady Luck might have a little bit more to do with what I ended up having rather than my skills in editing...)
