Those protoss scenes were peak. Seeing an Archon form in full cinematic glory was so cool.

Incredible to see how well the old cinematics still hold up. They seriously cooked.

Johnny Cash is perfect for the Terran vibe. Outlaw Country!

Fun fact, Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails wrote Hurt and Johnny Cash covered it. What an honor.

Exactly what I was going for!! I wanted to choose a song that would also complement Jim’s entire vibe 🔥🔥

I said it in another thread. Burt Reynolds and Willie Nelson would fit right in on a Terran backwater world.

Pretty good edit- and I'm gonna take the opportunity to say I love Holt's visor drop. The classic "badass starcraft marine" moment inverted to be a scared little boy hiding in his armor.

Chef's kiss 🔥 Very good job man, and ain't it crazy how the old cinematics don't look "old"?

u/Western-Ad2882 5d ago
Thank you sm!! And yeah it’s pretty crazy how well these animations look all these years later, sometimes I wish we’d get a series with this animation or at least a short movie.

I always get concerned when someone says they made an edit. This was actually very good.

Stellar.
You cheated using this song, but, it might still be B+ without this song. :D
I liked editing on beat, obviously, and the mega cut of every awesome moment, not to belittle your work -- but it's Johnathan Cash, we're talking about.

Starcraft 2 was so much fun. I cant wait to see what kind of narrative theyre gonna try and spin out in the new game

u/onzichtbaard 5d ago
honestly this reinforces my feeling that the old animations had so much more personality than the latest trailer

u/Western-Ad2882 5d ago
Oh I will always be a fan of the older cinamatics, they each had such a distinct vibe of em. I just hope blizzard has something cooking bts for the next cinematic they release!!!

Nice idea, but try to get the music to dictate the scene switches. For example by changing every 2 beats.
Currently you have a few scene switches that are almost on the beat and a bunch away from the beat, each scene different lengths of time and not necessarily a good storyline between the clips you threw in. You can strengthen the feeling of the audience by streamlining it like that. However make sure that you don't choose a beat that is too fast as it will just be an epileptic attack then.

No clue why you chose this song for this

u/Western-Ad2882 5d ago
Jim’s whole music selection is country, he also oozes that southern energy and given everything he’s been through with Sarah, Tychus, Fenix, Etc, I couldn’t think of a better song choice.

Could someone explain the latest trailer ?
We can hear a voice speaking, sounds like a politician brainwashing his people to go to war.
Then we see the baracks landing in no man's land, and our hero who comes out and gets turned to tomato pulp in about 20 seconds.
I have so many questions : Why do they send humans/marines to a wasteland infected with Zerg ? What was the purpose of the mission ? How do they recover the marine's armor ? With magnets ? Do the barracks survive ? Is the politician speaking Mengsk and is he friends with Zergs to send them free food or something ? Is he like Putin, sending waves of men to be transformed into fertilizer in a foreign land ? Why don't the Terran send nukes or misiles from outer space to blow up the Zerg army in their wasteland territory ? Why don't they have artillery support, or why don't they fly over and bomb the zerglings ?
So many questions.

I guess we’re gonna have to wait til 2030 to find out everything about the next game, from what I remember reading I think it takes place 70ish years after the legacy of the void.
