The Letter Home was poignant considering my countries present troubles. Very well done.

I liked yours as well. Change Ocato with Philip and you have another story.

Nice links. Thanks, schonk! :goodjob:

i'm not gonna lie to you, i was ready for some cheesy [censored], we sometimes see a lot of 'this is great' stuff' threads, and many r mediocre....

i just watched the Samurai. And it is truly amazing. Excellent work here - specailly in choosing the music.

One of the characters I played had a very close class character as urs (only I called him Ito Ogami, Ancient Bladesmaster), so it was very easy to relate to this video.

Thank you for sharing them, I will watch the others and reply more objectively later.

EDIT: Just watched all of them, and this is how I'd rate them and why:
Spoiler

# 1 - Last Samurai
Some polishing here and there are necessary but the story's flow was great. As I said above, I had a character very close to yours, plus the choice of music helped a lot;

# 2 - Dark Intentions
This was very well done, the only problem I had was the 'turning point' being something actually very weak... an argument and he goes berserk killing his wife? This was actually the only reason it did not get #1 from me. Again, the music fit very well an ensuing tragedy;

# 3 - Letter Home
A nice story, told thru one's last letter. Weaker than both above, but a good one to watch.

# 4 - Oblivion Story
It started very well in a LotR style - amazingly enough, the most fitting music here (Bridge of Khazad Dum) was not used! -, then ok for the change in storyline (meeting a loved one) and imo goes down after that.

$ 5 - Harm's Folly
You know what I thought would happen, when the guy went to sleep? That he'd by some reason turn into a vampire... But the whole moving on thing sounded either a little too premature.

Hi, Thanks everyone for the nice reactions :). Yeah i know i made some very stupid spelling errors :(. But yeah nobody is perfect :P The music is indeed great it's from the movie "The Last Samurai"! I'm honoured that you placed my movie on rank 1, thank you :) I liked Harm's Folly because it had a simple story but a nice end! And The Letter Home was the most creative of all :)

I just watched the Last Samurai one, and it's definitely one of the best I've seen. I too was prepared for horrid cheesy crap, but it was great! Loved it, well done. :goodjob:

Yeah there are indeed many crap movies on youtube, but these movies are made with love for the game as fans. Thank you for liking my movie :)
