Last week I was given my final task for the contest im in, which is where I could win a 200 dollar HDPVR, the task was simple to go into a lobby with our assigned partner and make a video. Well I got the footage and I had a great idea... Split screen it, so right now I would like some feed back on it, I have modified it since this has been uploaded, decreased sound on one of the videos, added gamer avatars and tried to twink the sound so you can hear everything clearly.

I do know of a few problems
1) the screens arent the same size, they arent much different they differ maybe by less than a 100 pixels i guess it would be. For some reason or another I cant change the settings on the width or height anymore Im not sure what caused it to lock. My partner having split screen does play a part into why it looks smaller, but mainly the difference by the 100 pixels is the major problem.
2) You can barely hear me, I have a really crappy mic that sucks beyond anything in this world.
3) The videos are not completely synced I have done my best to correct this issue but there is so much I can do with the limited footage i had recorded and downloaded from my file share.
4) I do know of the issue of my partner not being heard at times I had to render his audio file into the footage he gave me it was hard to try and find a good balance.
5) I cant seem to crop out the black square around the videos Im not sure what that is from but ive kinda just ignored it because i wasted like an hour trying to find a fix for it.


The game was around 15 minutes ish, we had select accidents occur through out the game but this 7 minutes is where it gets good and they get annoyed. Once ive completed my fixes I will reupload and show you guys.

Awesome video, though I'm not sure if I understand the whole ordeal here? I might've forgotten something, not sure.

On another note: What game is this exactly?

Its call of duty black ops.

The story is that we are booster busting some noobs on black ops found this group of idiots and made every attempt to annoyed them to the point where they started screaming at me and my partner, and as you can see it didnt take long. However, there are two kills you did miss that are not on the video. They were pretty mad but they forgave us because we said we were noobs at boosting.

Is there supposed to be text in the first couple minutes of the game? Otherwise, I wouldn't do the videos like that. I'd make it look more splitscreen like.

Text is just there to help people know whos screen is where so they dont get confused than left the pictures there so they still had an idea.

Oh. Didn't see that. Missed the text the first time and it just looked weird to have it like that not knowing it lol

My only problem is that it's alittle long, bro. I'd maybe crop out some of the initial minutes up to the ragequit yelling. Just my little critique.

If i took out anymore people wouldnt really get it in my opinion they would be confused on whats going on if i just sped up to the rage quitting. Some background story never hurts :P

True, true

But half the fun of watching these types of videos is seeing what leads up to the rage, the rage is the center piece and you cant have just a little bit of back story and all rage its hard to explain but only 3 minutes ish of annoying them is too little :P.
