A non-sniping montage... long overdue

gmanfaulk · 05-08-2007

I'm thinking for my fourth to use everything but the sniper.

The pistol, multi shotty kills, torques, booms, anything but the sniper.

I think it will make for a much more exciting montage. Heck, if I get some amazing lancer kills in succession they may even make it into this montage.

It will be more of a fun montage centralized around the non-sniping aspect of this game, and it will be long overdue, I haven't really seen a well done non-sniping montage.

Hope you all like it, expect anywhere between one - three months of filming, then a solid week of editing until its out.

dude just make a normal montage with shotgun, sniper, and etc.
Than when you done recording find a free-editor or pay for one.

nah... editing is half the fun of the montage, and I'll never get better unless I do it myself. I was very pleased with the effects and transitions I used in this last montage, I feel it had much better flow and I synced with my second song very well.

So as for another editor, thats out of the question.

back on topic; from this forum and especially other forums, people are tired of seeing the same old , Sniping and shotgunning. They are all fun to watch, and all of them have at least some amazing shots in them, but I want to put out a unique montage, thats more about entertainment then skill. I want tons of crazy boomshots, and weird torques, I want some multi-lancer kills, just something to break up the monotony of all these upcoming sniper montages. So again, maybe 4 - 6 minutes of clips without seeing a sniper once would be a fun montage, and it would encourage me to play levels like tyro station, and canals from a different perspective.

I just think it has a lot of potential and I would like to see if it has any interest.

Thats a good idea. I was thinkin of making a torque bow montage myself. I LOVE THAT WEAPON. but there will always be sniper montages. U've got to admit it gives you a warm feeling inside when u make someones head explode as there diving at you.

Exactly having another person edit for you just takes the fun and creativeness out of it for me. I would never considering having someone edit at all for me, enless it was a group tage' and id still edit part. Anyways Im looking forward to this.

well, if you would like, we could share clips over the next few weeks and perhaps do a nice duel-tage, both your kills and mine; if not thats fine of course, I understand some people want their montages to be only them. I just suggest this because its so non-traditional for gears that it could be fun to make a duel-tage of explosives.

Just throwing the offer out there

gman, I don't wanna see melees at all. It makes me so mad to see them. In Halo Montages, it was semi-bearable, but in gears montages, it's just annoying for me. Honestly, have you ever gotten a kill using melees that you were especially proud of?

Just a thought...

See my take on any "easy kill" is the skill level. In your case, you're totally correct. Most melee kills take no skill to do, they are absolutely boring.

However, what if I have three shotgunners blazing on me and I melee them all down, while being a wind gust away from dying the whole time? That would be a pretty cool clip to have. So I really think this next montage is not going to be a melee montage, its going to be a collaboration of the Boomshot, Torque bow, Grenades, Hammer, and perhaps some cool shotgunning.

I just think no clip type should ever be ruled out because it is to easy to do. Even meleeing can be difficult....

exactly, meleeing doesnt have to be boring, if its just a 1v1 melee, yea it can get old. but trust me like gman said if you got like 3 guys shotgunning after you, and you melee them all down its really cool.

it happened to me, i had 2 not 3 though, and i melee'd one guy for the kill and shotgun blasted the second. it was pretty cool.
