New fan video

[Obelics]

personally i dont like the music "alone" too, that means if i had to hear or buy a CD, i dont even know what genre it is, i suppose some Dark, metal or things like that, but sayd that, i have no prejudice in it. So i say it fit very well with the video, and the Video is also sincronized with the music, so i think you should put your volume On. I thing it's the same with other kind of music one could not like, for example you'd buy the sort of New Age music from Gladiator? I wouldn't buy it, but i thing it fit very well with some scenes in the movie. Or again someone other could not like baroque music, but could appreciate a Movie with a baroque music soundtrack and enjoy it, like in Pasolini movies etc.

I say if you feel ispired by this music to make the videos, then continue with this kind of music

So who ended up winning the battle in the end? It was pretty fairly matched. I thought the Carthaginians would have been at an advantage with their pikemen and other special soldiers, but they lost a lot, including their general.

Well done, by the way.

whow!!
very good video!
i most like this scene:



when they storm through the grass!!

[keravnos]

Great video!

[LordCurlyton]

Nothing wrong with a little Death Metal and a very well made movie to boot.

[Berg-i-dum]

Nice video.

I hope the Lusitani finally won that battle against Carthago invaders in NW Iberia

Edit: Wich is the name of the song?

The video was of exceptional quality and your movie_cam skills are par excellence, but the music, grhhh! It is always nice when the topic of the video matches the music. A funeral scene and rock do not go together, just like EB and heavy metal, or at least IMHO. Also, the frame rate got a bit choppy. Still a splendid video though, I gave it five out of five.

I remember watching the Baktria vs AS video, and I tell you, it was THE best EB video I have ever seen, along with Legion Strong (by Rilder if I am not mistaken). The two things that set that Seleukia vs Baktria video apart from others were 1: video editing, and 2: incredible and at the same time appropriate music (some of it was from Gladiator, if I ma not mistaken). Since there were other well-edited videos on YouTube, it was music that ultimately made that video so good that I favorited it (that's saying a lot since I have only 11 favorites).

Also, on a final note, I actually thought the music in your KH-Pontus video was pretty relevant to the video, even though it was heavy metal.

Well, it's not like I just went "AHA! Death metal! Then it must be crap!". I was in all honesty exaggerating a little bit. The instruments are fine, and the lyrics no problem. It's the snarling voice that kills it for me. I've never been able to stand that, ever, and that's why this kind of music is the only kind (along with the ones where the "singer" just screams) that I don't like. I'm not saying that it's wrong to make a video featuring this music, of course it isn't and if that's what you really want then by all means, go for it. I'm just sharing my own personal opinion, 's all.

After watching it again, this time with the sound on, my opinion remains the same. The video is well synchronized with the music, I'll give you that, but it doesn't sound any better for it.

Swedish punk and death metal are the best in the world lol

You heard Wolf Brigade?!
YEEEEAH! We rock that shiz in the Humvee.

Swedish punk and death metal are the best in the world lol

In which world, Celtic_Punk? Your imaginary one does not count.

Thanks all for the nice comments, actually it was no one who won the battle, I have made the movie from 3 separate battles.
Cheers

[Obelics]

watching it some more time it get even better than before, i think it's the best of the three you did. waiting for the next mastepiece!

@celtic viking
i understand, me too i must confess have some genres of music that i cant stand in whatever manner you can present it to me (rock and pop in general)... peraphs it's just that i never listen to metal, so it dont hurt to me to hear it in a good video for once in a while, i even cant understand the lyrics, since i cant understand spoken english

Dear BirkaViking,
I have seen all four of your videos on youtube and I have instantly become a great fan of yours! Those are true masterpieces!

I do not want to derail this topic and let it become a discussion on various personal musical tastes, but just for your encouragement I have to say that I personally find your choice of music extremely suitable with the theme of those videos. You have managed to make audio and video to be in complete harmony, one enhancing the effect of the other - not a small achievemet to say the least.
Yes, the music is violent - but so is war!

To conclude my tribute, let express my hope that we will see more such movies by you.
