The Sect of the Holy Mother

Welcome to the thrilling story of a man who, despite all his bad luck and losses, pulls through and defeats the ultimate evil.

This is the first part of a series of cinematics(at the time of this submission there are three).

This is my first real cinematic and I hope you enjoy watching it, as I enjoyed making it.

Moderator Review (Not Rated)
Captain Griffen:
- Iffy English (comma usage, 'Than' should have been 'Then', etc.)
- Try to use more neutral team colours; bright red is just...out of place.
- Terrain could do with some work, particularly height variation.
- Camera is normally very still; move it around a bit more, keeps it more interesting.
- Lots of moments of boredom, where nothing is being moved foreword. Not helped by predictable plot/lines in places.

However, overall this is pretty good - you definately have potential. Work on making stuff more polished (particularly with move orders - do them individually for best results). You had some nice pieces of cinematic work in here.

This map is approved and works properly.

shaun has little to show at this moment (6)


anyways i loled^^ even tho i did not exactly know why

- the terrain is to flat n dull for my taste
- camerawork could be improved
- units always stand in a bunch -> i lost the overall view of the scene sometimes
(for example: the bloodelfgeneraldude (i dont remember his name) had this strang color around his feet but u barely saw it through the knights n houses 'n all in a sudden he was somewhere else
--> you should work with special effects more often

i loled when they get their weapons 'n waited for the explaination of their change in appearance
when he said he got a sword that made his skin green i lol'd again ^^ what an explaination is that^^

at the end music starts (i lol'd again) why dont u use music in the rest of the story?

and i think we all agree: ghosts should not have shadows ^^

anyway;
lot's of text, lacks of terraining/doodads and special effects;
=> but it was ok overall :D

Thank you all. These have been some helpful comments. Be sure to check out the 2nd and 3rd part of this cinematic, where you will see I have improved(a bit :)). Anyways I will take all these suggestions into account and once again Thank you all!

Oh and guys, be sure to check out the second and third part of my cinematic:

I noticed that a few of you, who are not familiar with the Sect of the Holy Mother, stop watching it after the first part. Id like to say that the first part of the Sect of the Holy Mother was made as my very first cinematic and, although it has a story related meaning to the other parts, it is my least well done.

I would advise you to at least watch part II which shows huge improvement, and any later part which also shows more improvement. So please, dont give up after the first part.

Wow, I loved it. Only problems I had were the typos and sometimes you had to wait forever. I think you got the "Do you fear death" from the Pirates of the Carribean. The song at the end were Nikola sees his friends dead scared the piss out of me. ^.^

Well if you liked this part, every other will be even better, and yes, there are a lot of typos, but my English has improved a lot since then.

Greetings. I am going to use a sketch of the new Cinematic reviewing sheet, so here it goes.

Rui's Review
[+]Bugs & Otherwise Good: I found no bugs, except a certain thing: when the attack on the village begins (while the Captain is there), there's a delay. Maybe it should have been fixed.
[+]Special Effects: I didn't see any big effects, but the ones used certainly fit well.
[+]Imported Material: The Imported material used was fitting. Although I don't think the music was all that necessary, it seems to be low sized so it's nothing to get concerned about.
[+/-]Camera: The camera was stagnant most of the time, there was not much action about it, but it was decently used.
[+/-]Music/Sound: The new Human track that came with the Frozen Throne played for a while, I guess it was intentional. It combined well with the images of the mountains, although I don't think it was needed at the start.
As for the other music, I guess it was OK. I don't really understand why you played "DarkAgents" in that conversation between Nikola and the other guy.
[+/-]Story & Originality: Another Human village or kingdom that gets attacked by Undead. The usual: tiresome and stuffy.
The Runesmith, however, was a good addition. About the enchantment... I found it weird, turning a Human into a different race... well, I guess the Runesmith and the Serpent give you the Yellow note here. That and the... different ending.
[+/-]Terrain: The terrain was OK. Nothing special, I must admit, but it contained the essential for the story.
Some relevant notes: weird ground texture variation, no elevation at all.
[-]Screenplay: I'll be honest, I didn't like the screenplay much. It had grammatical bugs to start with, and some speeches were too short and lasted too long. It sounded too traditional and it was boring.


This cinematic is nothing too good, compared to works such as Cult of the Damned and Shipwrecked, but it is not low quality either.
My rating for this resource is 11/20, approximately 3 (Useful).

~Thank you for using the Hive Workshop

Nice, you've started the series :)

Thanks for the review. This grade was expected, the map was my first, but when I return from my vacation I'll be fixing all the grammar and spelling errors, as well as improving camera work for pats 1-3. Anyway I hope you finish viewing all the cinematics.
