Knowing what music you have before hand will help you plan some of your shots, for instance when the music is mellow you don't want a horde of beastmen being slaughtered. When it's being powerful and creating a sense of drama, use footage that would convey this silently. You wouldn't want a panorama of your character during this moment.

Yeah, that's how I've always made my videos. More often than not, though, I grow impatient if the rate at which the film is progressing isn't up to speed with what I'd like. Seeing as it's just a hobby, some times I just throw stuff at it to make it work and call it a day. Not going to get any better doing that, but, eh.

The "Soul of the Adventurer" captures this a lot, though. I thought out each scene in advance and did my best to sync up the heated combat and powerful moments in film with the strong movements of the piece. Give moments such as the scene with Cid, or the Shield Bash that much more "umpf". Or the scenes with White Mage syncing over the more gentle and peaceful movement.

Speaking of, I finished another video earlier today. More simplistic. Just a video to showcase the new Jobs in all their glory. Get a little glimpse into each one and some of their abilities.

Hope you enjoy this one as well.

Yay for WHM love! :D

Keith approves, it gives me that feeling I got watching player made FFXI vids like these.

FFXI Epic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35w9G...watch_response

FFXI Reccolection: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov3-K2aRwQY

FFXI Remember: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47sYP_cr22s

Those 3 were the main videos that kept me playing FFXI for going on 10 years now. I think I can say that yours will be the same for FFXIV so keep up the good work.
