Welcome to LateNightGaming where we discuss modern games on a regular basis and go in depth behind your favorite (Or least favorite) titles!

[@LateNightHalo]

This is a test for various VFX I'm planning to integrate into the Evolution series. Thoughts on the effects, style, transitions and presentation?

[@primusvsunicron1]

magnum update with the sidekick too?

[@saulpulido17]

Looking slick dude. The static effect is cool, but consider using it sparingly. It can be a little much if it's in every clip! But overall I'm loving the leveled up production!

[@RPGX400]

The little sound that plays when the extra info pops up is a bit too loud and gets annoying after a while. Consider lowering the volume a bit or having the sound be a little less jarring. It's nice but it does start to get annoying after a bit

[@mo_venegas]

Only thing I noticed was the tracking on the named didn't stay in the same place when the gun moved, but that's not even an issue honestly. Also slight suggestion, the guns have dark colors so maybe having a bright but simple background could separate them from the background more to stand out? Just a suggestion that you could try I'm not sure how it would turn out myself. The effects and transitions all look great and very polished, can't wait to see them in upcoming videos!

[@endar949]

Not really a big fan especially with the music and sound effects playing over the ingame audio sfx

[@I0ce4nI]

Love that the bandit dmr sounds like a m1 grand when it’s low in the magazine lol

[@js2yeet4u28]

I’ve shot one and indeed I can confirm.

[@I0ce4nI]

@@js2yeet4u28 my grandfather always shot his at his vacation house when I was a kid so that sound is ingrained in my head.

[@js2yeet4u28]

@@I0ce4nI for me is almost the exact same reason.

[@gibson362]

​@Jacob Devenney your GARANDfather

[@craigthemonke794]

I have one and it’s pure bliss to empty a ‘clip’ after firing some full power ammo. Too bad 30-06 is expensive

[@GriedFuts]

i’ve never loved a person more than i love halo reach

[@amitriptyline01]

I don't remember commenting this

[@craigthebrute6032]

I like the concept of the floating text anchored to a line connecting with the weapon. I think making the VFX seem in-line with the classic Halo HUD would be a neat touch.

[@craigthemonke794]

Mokne

[@Sta_cotto]

I can already tell there's going to be a rant in the eventual dmr video about how the thumb clips through the model during inspection (not meant in a bad way; I would too)

[@robertogonzalez1907]

That particular glove has a huge thumb brace, so I wouldn’t fault the animators.

[@sakalaathletics]

I love the sound of the Bandit's gunshot, but the pinging at the end of the magazine is distracting, because it sounds so much like the Garand.

[@DarklyBigNozerz]

The way the label tracks and swivels around the gun looks great! Reminds me of some of bungiees old vidocs/documentaries

[@chriskaufmann655]

I love the static transition, and the motion-tracked graphic is a super nice touch. I especially love how it kicks with the gun.

[@Multi476]

Halo 4 DMR still manages to remain my favorite but I’ll say the Bandit is really moving up that list

[@bestwing8176]

The transitions and editing is Incredible, cant wait to see the evolution of this weapon

[@The0ttoZone]

music is a bit too loud, and i agree with others about how the static transition is used, but other than that, this is great!

[@Legitcar117]

The bandits animations are so good!

[@someguyinahoodie3856]

I do believe it's important to have noted which game these versions came from, but besides that the editing is absolutely wonderful. Extremely smooth and straight to the point which is great

[@Pig3636]

Loving the VFX in this! Come a long way since the very first evolution video. As for the DMR designs, I think they nailed it in Reach. Hasn’t been a single design as good imo

[@bauxbeater3026]

I think this is a great transitional idea to move forward with! Something that I did notice was that the static had like a noticeable "end" to the extents of the effect. It also sometimes held on for a little too long, starting to interfere with what needs to be shown after the transition. I think the static as a quicker transition that wipes the whole screen would make for some excellent visual flair for the Evolution series

[@powerovervanity]

damn halo reach still looks incredible

[@christopherisaacanderson5213]

i love the editing, it felt real professional and i can tell you love doing it

[@Ducain_Plays]

Dude I love this so much! The work you have put into improving your videos is very exciting!

[@cerjmedia]

I like how Halo's DMR has a reciprocating charging handle, when it takes place 500+ years in the future lol we're phasing them out now

[@GeoJJx]

The static effect and depth of field/motion blur are really great, fantastic work

[@fer1f1tz]

I love this. I’m super excited for this video. The dmr has always been my favorite starter weapon

[@MediQate]

I’m gonna be honest with you. This is great and I’m glad you’re working on your editing skills and other stuff but I enjoy hearing you speak about things so if you could make a channel about you covering stuff on a usual basis that would be great and I’d definitely sub and watch every video as it came out!

[@atreyuh7237]

evolution of water in halo next

[@sebastiannienow6981]

Unironically not a bad idea

[@halozilla674]

The M392 DMR it’s my favorite design

[@JacobExCraze]

Good editing. I really like it.

[@DGCpicturesEntertainment]

This is some incredible work you got here man. My only critique would be that you didn't add the weapon's melee and scope animations. Other than that, I can expect great things from you soon.

[@Liam_RRT]

Halo 4 & Infinite's gotta be my favorites. The bandit's animations are just so clean

[@hansonlee5847]

At this point, looks like only the fans are keeping Halo alive

[@AlexanderDiviFilius]

The animations look great!

[@mohamed-amenyussuf1185]

Maybe you could make some videos on video editing and vfx because this looks awesome!

[@thatcipher]

I love the M392 Its one of my favourite weapons of all time and I really really want a prop of that thing ngl

[@perhaps9457]

Oh he is having fun with the effects

[@Tateisadrummachine]

I wish the battle rifle and DMR swapped functions, I love the way the DMR functions, but the battle rifle looks waaaayyyyy cooler

[@CrapMyHat]

This video reminded me of something, in Reach you CAN'T see the shoulder armor customizations in first person mode right? I wish the MCC would change this.

[@JakubWielkiMistrz]

Artistically Sophisticated Marksman Rifle

[@TheRealFrozenFire]

I love the effects on this one!!! How long did it take to make this?

[@Makoima]

How'd you add the motion blur to the guns? It looks really good and has been something I've been trying to figure out for awhile

[@christopherstanley4837]

I consider Halo CE's magnum to be the first DMR. :P

[@Marinealver]

The Bandit isn't quite the same as the DMR (no scope). The DMR was a varient of the Battle Rifle.

[@pikachuspm2586]

Nice editing

[@rm25088]

Welcome back mate.

[@Skyfoogle]

what I always disliked about the halo 4 DMR is that its ammo counter appears to be part of the scope, rather than part of the weapon. talk about overengineered. then in halo 5 they solved this issue by removing the ammo counter all together lol

[@LostODST]

This is incredible

[@GamesforCykits]

Great vid

[@ZenithKamiBlackwings]

One of the best weapons in the franchise.

[@Atlantic_dummie]

I'd say its one of the weapons in the franchise

[@EchoLocoCJ]

A riffle that shoots one bullet. How unique and creative

[@Crusty783]

worse battle rifle

[@aviatorengineer3491]

The original M392 DMR from Reach will always be the prime version of this weapon, to me. Halo 5's M395B DMR did some neat stuff with attachments but that only served to bring it closer to the ideal established by the M392, never quite meeting it. The M392 Bandit in Infinite doesn't feel awful, in fact I'm starting to like it quite a lot, but it also feels almost nothing like the DMR to me - it's the sort of weapon I wish the Commando had been, really, while still leaving room for the actual DMR to reappear.

[@sourpenguin360]

A moment of silence for commando 🪦

[@sickSNIPE316]

Hey did you use Starfox Adventures SFX in this? I know Rare used to use licensed sounds, but that's what I remember them from.

[@ReclaimerGaming]

I gotta learn more, id love to pull this kinda editing off in adobe.

[@Poopmyjorts]

Idk what people think about the halo infinite version but the sound is incredibly satisfying

[@tsunderemerc2963]

The editing on it looks great!

[@logan_jp3]

You ever think you'll do a comparison series for reloads of elites vs spartan reloading animations?

[@SirSpanxALOT1]

Ahhh, I see that Adobe software is paying off. I like what I'm seeing. I hope you have fun with it! keep up the good work!!!

[@switchboy2320]

The dmr is my favorite UNSC weapon

[@seanhyland2022]

The reshade/effects you used look amazing, though I am disappointed that you didn't aim down the sights with the different scopes on the Halo 5 DMR, that would have been cool. Still though, very high production quality and presentation.

[@Antare5]

I'd say very cool effects, with the caveat of suggesting that the camera not have any text on screen when using the static effect on transitions. There are a couple instances where the camera is either zoomed in on the ammo counter or some of your own added text is up and then the video static is applied over it making it very hard to read, but my brain still really wants to try and read it. Kinda distracting, small thing but avoiding it might be helpful.

[@that_tofu_fox7519]

A brilliant example of your skill as always, my only nitpick is that you didn’t use the default weapon coating for the M392-Bandit. I personally love what is essentially the M392-DMR from Reach in Infinite’s graphics engine, minus the scope of course. This doesn’t take away from the video, fantastic editing.

[@CommanderStarr298]

The M392 Model was so popular, that by 2560 its still favored by modern Spartan IV's and Spartan Dinh. I love the default olive finish but I prefer my Bandit classic Reach Black with added details. Hope Infinite can recover. Not just in Multiplayer but story content as well. Hope that someone likes my little lore quip. Have a good one y'all 🤔😊👍

[@bat_mobile7545]

Not only the DMR, BR55 battle rifle still holds soft spots in people's heart because of it's versatility in combat in compare to high tech BR85. Misriah Armory decided to model BR75 after the original 55 and still used by Blue Team in 2560

[@CommanderStarr298]

Indeed. Soldier 👍

[@CeZealot]

I loved halo 5s weapon variants

[@DarkLordDeimos]

Floating text labels were great. Static effect was a bit much in my opinion General criticism, when you talk about how a weapon sounds, make sure to give us an opportunity to hear it without music, other game sound effects, or commentary. Though I like the idea of commentary and sound effects alternating so that you mention the sound, let us hear it, describe exactly what you like/dislike or some specific aspect to listen for, and then play the sound affect again so that way we can attempt to focus on that aspect.

[@RexRye]

A slick editing experiment, but I would definitely cool it with the static effect, it is very jarring every 10 or so seconds.

[@dignelberrt]

I've never understood why the spent shells fly out of the stock on the right if the ejection port is on the left

[@saintdoot]

I love the effect to display the weapon name/attachements, but the glitch effects seem a bit too rough on the eyes. It kinda gives a "found footage" kind of vibe which seems off if this is meant to be a weapon showcase kind of thing. Maybe a nice smooth sweep transition? A professional look as if this video was a showcase by a company to a possible client for weapon purchases.

[@VainerCactus0]

I've always wondered how you get that black screen effect, do you have some background you can use as a green screen in forge somewhere?

[@unzkipriime4283]

kind of insane how you just picked up adobe editing programs for fun and have already integrated all these edits and vfx into your vids just like that

[@SenetAsylum]

*not* First, and nice demo for your editing! Looks good!

[@Vladiator]

Static is cool but takes up too much transition time to get a good look at the full body of the weapon, like the Bandit variant. It's looks cool if otherwise used sparingly!

[@lealand2601]

I like this

[@ConfigBias]

Should have included the H2 E3 single fire BR ;). But nice vid.

[@Banana-Boi]

That's a BR not a DMR.

[@HLGmatrix1]

is that the h3 mic sound

[@J_Garzon11]

And the evolution video? 😱🥶😭

[@mattparsons8914]

A yes the fat pistol

[@lordvwphaeton5297]

thicc magnum

[@Skyfoogle]

the CE magnum is more like a mini rifle

[@robertogonzalez1907]

I see you’re learning keyframes ;)

[@definitelypeacock]

How early am I? There isn't even a thumbnail

[@lordvwphaeton5297]

this style of video is cool as fuck! will you be doing similar videos for other weapons?

[@StepCrow]

Good video, but I have to wonder what the message or purpose of it is. Is this just a log of some kind?

[@Chase_1734]

Hmmm, youtube I don't think this is Apex Legends. Ngl like these vfx effects tho, really cool

[@TheAntiBarrel]

i'd say that the corruption transition is too heavy, and that showing each H5 attachment is a little unnecessary great work though :]

[@Matthew-hp2dw]

LNG is literally quagmire

[@cosmoelpresidente4019]

Tbh I always liked the Halo 4 DMR

[@steezyfenrir7101]

LFG!

[@commissardale]

I'll be honest, the fact they have COD-style weapon customization almost makes me want to play Halo 5. Just to see what scuffed guns you can make.

[@junkszy912]

What about all the Halo online DMR's.

[@rustediron4062]

The only DMR I don't like is Halo 5's. Otherwise they're all great, one of my favorite weapons. I do kinda wish they'd give the bandit its scope back.

[@jasonwade1856]

Evolution of the DMR?

[@KingsNJenssons]

so what ever filter you have on makes it look like you Horribly green screen each gun

[@thez28camaroman]

What's the point in having a rail system if you don't put a scope on it?

[@Banooner]

For me currently, the video has 117 likes. Nice.

[@punishment616]

There's only one, reach's dmr.

[@darxmarx9214]

😱

[@NotSoRadical_]

It’s good overall, tho the transition to the 0:35 point is a bit too much, static wise.

[@mistaJ.]

Halo 4 was the best one

[@radacious29]

Depth of field is way too high, hurts my eyes

[@Perrydigm97]

did noone in testing notice your dumb going through the top of the H5 dmr during its idle animations?

[@domj3698]

God I just remembered how much I hate the halo 4 dmr, it's so lack luster and wet, the noise isn't punchy, the reload feels limp, halo 5 improved a lot design wise

[@user-bv7zo6vd4m]

Infinite has got to be the best one. Thought out of all the weapons they could have added, this was the worst choice

[@inductivegrunt94]

The Bandit looks and sounds cool, but I still prefer the Reach DMR. It just looks better, sounds better, and feels a lot better to me.

[@Maywoodmassive]

Dmr is so underrated easily better than the assault rifle

[@Maywoodmassive]

At least in reach

[@Malkoburn]

They both serve different purposes so saying one is better than the other is redundant

[@beanother1an690]

Actually, it's better than the Battle Rifle, as I feel that the DMR and AR would be best buds.

[@kelly2631]

Certainly one of the rifles of all time. EDIT: We were promised the Halo DMR, not the apex legends DMR. smh /s

[@PinkGuy1313]

Honestly, I don’t like the Titanfall style hud elements here.

[@ihbupontyne]

I like the editing so far but honestly I miss the commentary.
