This is like.........yeh...T_T

 

[Lizardizzle]

Poor scout.

 

[Dog--]

[The Drama Kings]

Hello everyone!

On behalf of the guys in the videos, we would like to thank you for your support, and we are glad you enjoyed our videos!

Also, you would be very correct in spotting that the Scout does infact get the wrong end of pretty much every stick. We have now enlisted another friend, who is interested in becoming a Pyro, which should make for interesting viewing

Thanks for watching!

Yours,

The Drama Kings

 

[Omnomnick]

Glad you liked us liking your videos...or whatever.

But please don't revive month old threads, it would have been best to make a new thread once your new video is finished.

 

[The Drama Kings]

I apologise, I did not realise ithis was an old post.

When we film the next video (next Saturday hopefully), I will post it in a new thread

Thanks again

The Drama Kings

 

[Omnomnick]

Well you may as well use this thread now, since its back in the 'Recently posted' section...

You ever click on one of these threads, and you're apprehensive about clicking the play button? And then you do, and you're sitting there watching it, and you're making an expression where the whole upper part of your face is completely blank, but your mouth is pinched like you just ate the sourest lime on Earth? And you keep glancing at the clock watching it and you don't want to turn it off because it's only 3 minutes long, but still you're still thinking, "That's three minutes I could be wasting elsewhere?"

Yeah.

Also I kept expecting a velociraptor to pop out of the hedge in the last section with the red sniper, but nothing happened other than...he shoots another sniper. Oh, I'm making that face again involuntarily.

I'm not trying to rag on you Drama Kings guys, but you may want to have a bit more of a plot for the next film rather than, "Scout runs out and gets shot immediately! Lol! And then it happens again! LOL!" This does not make for comedy. Also, the sampled sounds, especially from the beginning...eh. It'd be better if you used your own voices; just attempt as best an accent as you can. Maybe you won't be spot-on but at least people won't view it thinking, "Oh. They're just cobbling soundfiles together with live action."

But in the interest of giving you at least one compliment, the costumes were nice.

Hey, it's his thread and it's only 2 months old. Don't be so harsh

I hadn't seen it. Was relatively impressive. Well done.

I completely understand, but on the basis of the vast majority of the comments, people enjoy the video for what it is, a real-life version of Team Fortress 2, which has no velociraptors, but it has people shooting at each other. You seem to be making the video sound too much like an attempt to make an all-singing action movie, which it isnt.

I think you are expecting way too much out of this video. If it was meant to be a TF2-based thriller, we probably wouldnt be able to do it.

We did also do the voices, but the inaudabilty would have made it awful.

Whilst I think you are in a minority of people who analyze this so critically, I think you have grabbed the wrong end of the stick we were trying to wave at you

 

[Sheepo]

I think you have grabbed the wrong end of the stick we were trying to wave at you

That's my main problem, actually. How hard is it to find a baseball bat?

The velociraptor thing isn't something I necessarily expected, it's just that when I see a sniper next to vegetation my mind automatically jumps there. I'm not faulting you for not doing that; that was more like a side comment not a criticism.

My critique was mainly that it was a video that really had no joke or point...maybe I am expecting to much out of it. I used to do film stuff for a living and I hang out with machinima creators and people who actually work in Hollywood, so I'm a harsh judge of these things. Also of humor.

About inaudibility of recording the voices, what're you using for recording and editing?

 

[Druckles]

Damnit, I can't watch it without thinking of Velociraptors.

For that one, we only had an old tape video camera to work with. At the moment, its all we really need. For the other things we do, Drama Kings (http://uk.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=1839260E963B57A9), we use a much newer camera, which picks up the voices better.

Whilst im sure doing a much more proffesional version would be good, the majority of our viewers appreciate the simpler way of doing things

 

[Darkside55]

I'm sayin', bro.

Well, that's good.

In any case I'm curious as to how the pyro costume's going to turn out.

 

[The Drama Kings]

That's my main problem, actually. How hard is it to find a baseball bat?

Not very, but I dont have one, and we didnt have one when we came to filming it...

Strangely though, we had plenty of guns... :sniper:

 

[Emporius]

I really enjoyed that. the quality wasn't great, but it was much better than the majority of fan-made stuff that crawls from the abyss. Good on ya.

Thats what we were aiming for

It nice to hear that people think that. We dont want to get too big-headed though...

 

[Pesmerga]

Yeah good luck on trying to find a realistic looking velociraptor.

 

[Krynn72]

Also I kept expecting a velociraptor to pop out of the hedge

I read this, then I read this:

"Scout runs out and gets shot immediately! Lol! And then it happens again! LOL!" This does not make for comedy.

and then I lol'd.


Its almost like he was implying that the Jurassic Park meme would've been funnier than something at least slightly original.

 

[Omnomnick]

Why do you need a 'Realistic looking one', you can borrow Jimmy.

 

[Darkside55]

Its almost like he was implying that the Jurassic Park meme would've been funnier than something at least slightly original.

A joke showing an extended preparation, followed by an anti-climactic resolution is hardly original. Establishing it as a running gag doesn't make it any more so.

Plus, are you totally talking smack about velociraptors?

 

[Krynn72]

A joke showing a velociraptor coming out of the trees next to a marksman is hardly funny at this point either. I mean, damn, thats a fifteen year old joke.


And considering that I am a Velociraptor, I think its safe to bet that I am not talking smack about my kindred. I'm just sick of us being used as the butt of a overused meme. I mean isnt it enough that we were almost made extinct by a meteor, starved for decades and then get forced to live underground for 60 million years? Do you really need to subject us to this awful generalization that we hide in bushes killing innocent hunters? We've paid our due, so please... leave us alone.







Or we'll kill you.

Adriks isgonna be pissed and he'll trex your ass

 

[Krynn72]

In case you didnt see it in the image dump... his huge t-rex ass got me thrown in jail. He owes me, big time.

 

[Azner]

I didnt see that, but i remember when you two went to the bar and all.

Puppies can't grow up to be velociraptors.
