Hey everyone!
I haven't really posted here since my Harry Potter short but for those who are interested here is my latest film:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oROq5Y3 … r_embedded
Its based on Skyrim and contains special effects such as fireballs, lightning and of course FUS ROH DAH.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and critique.

That was very well done, you should make something longer. Effects looked great and how did you manage the smooth camera movements?
(Oh, and they're visual effects)
Very nice, the camera work, and the effects looked fantastic!
I'm not a fan of Skyrim either, but this was awesome. 
Thanks everyone!
Smooth camera movements were just due to a cheap tripod. If you pick the camera up then the weight of the tripod hanging off it counters out some of your unwanted movements.
I wasn't sure how well people would know the term visual effects, they do fall under special effects but you are right. I always say VFX on set

Special effects are in-camera effects, visual effects are done in postproduction.
I stand corrected!
Literally went to watch FilmRiot after replying to your post and they talked about the differences there

Hah, I saw the episode just this morning.
Im just getting into 3D work so it's perfect for me
Very well done. The effects were excellent. I have only one hitch, as a headphone user, right/left is really noticeable to me, and the voice acting didn't seem centred. The 'Fus Ro Dah' part felt left weighted, and the other line felt seemed to be mostly from the right. Other than that it was excellent.
Thankyou!
Yes I really need to do tests with headphones. I don't really have proper speakers so its hard to tell. I think its because the mic I used for both those parts is extremely good at picking up directional sound which, in those cases was not helpful. I shall be more careful with my L-R balancing in future! Thankyou
