No a taster, but i can change to teaser. I would say a taster of that, just a different context of putting things. Just watch

You should show off our good builds instead of wandering around the wilderness with Captain America. Instead of the music, you should get some audio from Opti or Nick explaining the purpose of the server and what makes us unique, such as the community that is older than SMP itself, and the custom server mods that aren't available anywhere else.

To add on to what Luminaeus said, you shouldn't wander around in the wilderness doing nothing, show snapshots of what you can do in SMP like make a shop, mine, explore with friends, and showcase some builds. I also think you should have less distracting, overwhelming music.

Agreed about this. Also, I'd suggest asking a mod who can fly to get some good footage, and some good video editing.

Thanks for your feedback guys, I have taken it into consideration and will hopefully focus on builds for the remainder of the video, but I will be keeping the song tough  :P

Well guys, thanks for the compliments and things I can improve on, I have taken them into consideration and edited some of the video. From now on in the video I will try and get more footage of builds and perhaps get footage from /fly from a willing mod although this may be complicated. I have chosen to keep the song as the footage already made fits with the song.
Thanks Guys

Here's a critique of it:
It looks very amateur, the song, the transitions, the clips. The song: It doesn't really fit the video, it seems like you just slapped on some song that was on your hard drive perhaps you can find something that fits better. The transitions between clips: they seem random and they just pop to another clip, there is no blend or order it seems. The clips: It just looks like you're walking around following a person play the game, instead give examples of what opticraft is, that doesn't necessarily mean go around and look at all the buildings, show them the experience they'd get it they were to be on opticraft. For example, show them the market, examples of how staff are great here, or examples of how the community is great.

I know you can't fly, but you can build platforms to stand on to get birds eye views.

Heres a tip Matt: Good recording, but change the video content and add a different song, maybe something minecrafty

Absolutely agree! You read my mind :)

Also, your video graphic options aren't maximalized. The small render distance annoys me, just like the fast trees, fast grass etc. It might be me, because I am used to playing with the best settings and a HD texture pack.

Thanks

Guys he isn't going to change the song, look at his profile, he's obviously obsessed with it.

adding to woodens point, I can't be bothered to change the timings of all the footage with a new song ^_^
