THINK OF THE CHILDREN - a Halo 3 vision (edit/gameplay: thestrangestick)

THINK OF THE CHILDREN

 

This is something I made this weekend, over the course of three different late night sessions. The gameplay is all from the last few weeks. It was originally just going to be a clip showcase, but as always I couldn't resist going a little bit further, and made something trippy as fuck.

This is probably either the best thing I've ever done, or the worst. You decide.

very special edit, and I got to say I really enjoyed the trippy shit
the first part before the over choke really hurt my eyes tho, but the rest was pretty cool stuff, well maybe the screams and crotch shots were a bit weird but alright lol

That was great. Really funk cool little edit. You have quite the liking for the spartan crotch though ;0
Cool stuff, man! Some of the effects were a bit too much and felt a bit misplaced. But on the other hand, some of the effects were really neat and fit very well. Keep being creative with your editing!
In my lenghty and in depth review I forgot to mention the title of the edit, which I liked.

Watching this right when i woke up the start flashed hurt me eyes overall still had a great laugh the edit is funny :)
We need more strange in this community, or sticks.. I'm not sure which part inspired this tbh cuz strange alone might not cut it

Agree but overall we need more people in this community.
If we still had the insane amount of people there will probably more content like this :)

I would love for the community to be huge again, but did anyone even make stuff like this back when it was? I'm not trying to blow my own trumpet or anything; I'm genuinely curious. I'm kind of sick of how repetitive montages (even the great ones) are, and this was kind of my middle finger to all the generic shit.

Weird, but I enjoyed it. I like seeing different things done. I can appreciate anyone trying new things.

I would love to see a edit comeback by s0r3. If someone on this forum still have contact with him, please encourage him!
I forgot about sor3. He definitely was out there with his edits. When was the last time he put something out? 2009?

My new favourite SS edit, fucking loved it, swear you tapped into my brain as I always wanted to do what you did with the death audio, was so good, the womanpleasure.mp3 on last resort was so well done and the effects trip was too, fucking love this

 

Also I've been meaning to make a crotch shot/booty shot part in a video I swear we are hive mind, never stop

this is definitely my favorite edit of yours, strange. were you adding in those weird samples or was that part of the song? either way, you crushed the song with your edit. loved everything about it except when it was a little too oversatured imo. given the timeframe of when the clips were gotten, they were pretty good, especially the last resort tastrophe. 

superb job, my friend. hope to see more unique videos like this from ya.

Haha, thanks mate. I always love hearing feedback from you, because you're a legend obviously, but mostly because I can tell from the way you edit that we are on a very similar wavelength creatively. I was hoping you would dig this. We really should do something together man. I would happily edit a trippy as fuck mini for you to some equally crazy song with any leftover H3 gameplay or with your new CE stuff (although it's easier to go all out if you can do angles).

@terv I added all the extra sound effects like the Game of Thrones audio/video (did anyone else get that was from game of thrones? Fuck I love that show, and that clip went so well with the shot that it gave me chills when I played it back the first few times), the ASMR lady at the beginning and the d'oh etc

Yeah the saturation was all out (literally up to max) but it was supposed to represent how I'm in the zone/happy place when I'm gaming then I choke on something amazing like I always do and it changes my mood entirely!

I definitely plan to make more edits like this, mostly because they often take less time than more traditional edits, yet I love them just as much, if not more. And thanks <3

Rewatched 3-4 times today. The misplaced (what the fuck is misplaced anyway) effects are becoming less and less. I find this very enjoyable! Definitely looking forward to your next edit. 

Haha thanks buddy. I did sort of wonder what you meant by that, but only because whenever I see someone doing something out there and original that I don't really like that much (like some of Puba's stuff) I just assume we have different ways of thinking, kind of like different tastes in music etc.

What I'm tryingto say is that all the effects in there made a lot of sense to me in the mindstate I was in, at 3 in the morning, lol

This is the first video of yours I've seen--it's really good! If you had put this in the competition, I would've voted for you.
Well, it's just some of the effects I didn't think were as well executed/as good as the rest of the effects. It's the devil's suit and the DLONGO-effect I'm thinking of. I considered the other effects to be very fitting and well executed for the (/my) feel of the montage, so I naturally became picky I guess... But as you said, they made sense to your mind state, so I completely understand that you kept them. 
My favorite video to come out in a long time. This was unreal in every sense of the word. Also I never would have thought I'd hear Maria in a Halo montage lol

Thanks man, means a lot! :)

What is Maria though? haha

The girl speaking in the beginning?

Ohhhhh right. I like ASMR, but don't really listen to it too often or anything. I just found her video when I was searching for something else, and thought it would be cool to put an ASMR clip in a video, as it would chill out/give that surreal ASMR feeling to anyone prone, and they get to have an even deeper Halo montage experience/it's just trippy regardless, ASMR prone or not.

I thought maybe you had misspelt Mario or something, because I think I put a Mario sound clip in there.

LOL nah, she's just one of my favorites. I spend 30+ minutes daily watching ASMR videos.
The effects were a bit overboard in the snowbound clip imo but everywhere else I loved the style and clips, those quickscopes you go for are sick!
