No idea what this military stuff is for, but basic editing nothing special in my opinion. Just footage with same text movement and fadeout over and over.

Post more info about it for those who are pretty safe on downloading these things.

It seem fairly good, nice that you've made a movie for your game, but you should get a more advanced movie program like sony vegas. It needs to look less like a movie maker video (some overlays gradients and custom fonts)
The text is a bit melodramatic for the footage .I like the footage though.

I am a bit of a purist when it comes to games and one of my absolute no-nos is the use of RL footage.

A game has to draw the player into it from the start, so any movies should show the style of the game itself not some generic footage. The best games make intro movies using the game engine and media itself. Here is an example of how I did it:

Test question - what would you prefer for the next Tomb Raider game?
An intro that features the Lara you get to play some minutes later - or a RL actress doing all the fun moves?

Alright, thank you for C&C. That was the best I could do with my current resources. I told my dad that I need his copy of Sony Vegas and he is loaning me a key.

Hopefully I can do something like The Storyeller 01's cutscene. I need to do this by Saturday, because I will be representing TGC in Bibb Co.,GA Tech Fair, and hopefully, the GA Tech Fair.

I think you should get a professional voice actor to do it instead of text.

In fact my "movie" was made entirely with the free Windows Moviemaker and consisted of screenshots only, there was no ingame recording done at all.

This was as easy as it can get

C & C:

1. Lose the cheesy, distracting white text.

2. Lose the realtime audio portion of the video.

3. Replace both with a an audio track that includes a musical score, and an
offscreen narrator.

I can see where you're attempting to go with this.

You need to do much to improve the dramatic effect, and pull the player into the
storyline.
