I like it a lot, great job Donnovan
A few tips:

Use more footage! I wouldn’t mind if the movie was 3 times longer so you could show a bit more of the maps than just the tiny parts you could see now.
The image of Nelson Mandela was a bit random I thought.
The music is well picked, but it could be mixed a bit better. The transitions could be a little smoother.

Other than that, it’s a great little video, well done!

Would you post the name of the songs?

Thanks for the replyes!

Light, Nelson Mandela is not ramdon, it fits on map name “Free Spirit City”… It’s about be free, freedom, free Spirit. A man looking througt a window, thinking about freedom, about spirit, about bypass physical metal bars with his mind.

A man can be free inside a jail? May be… Also, a man can be not free outside a jail. All Free Spirit City intro was about that. May be hard to notice that in a game movie, but i believe some noticed.

In Radar, you got the relations between Man Kind Origins, Thunder, Fear of Thunder, Desire of Thunder Control, Thunder control, Eletric control, Eletromagnetic control, Radar (a eletromagnetic device).

You is right about missing game content, this is not a oficial video of the event, it’s more a fan video

Darthmob, you can download all musics for free on the net, i will send you the link when i get home! They aren’t MP3 files, you will need VLC player, ModPlug or any other MOD player (i think Winamp also can play it).
