Do not read this if you havent seen the cinematic yet!
Well i checked it:
The cinematic is fine,but you need to fix your grammar and change the text.The beginning music isnt good,cuz 3 people are talking to each other and theres a very loud music.When the deathbringer blinked behind haldung,then his teamcolor became red!

Interesting cinematic is interesting, i shall take a look.
Terrain was fine. Some minor typos, but doesn't matter much...
The fight vs the Deathbringer was fine.
Maybe a bit too much talking, but the whole cinematic was...fine :p
I'll rate it 3/5.

I thought the fight scene was pretty sweet, how did you have them move and duck like that?

This cinematic by dubbed is about 2 person trying to collect a bounty by killing a necromancer.

The description of this cinematic at hiveworkshop was very well organize. It contain screenshot, cinematic duration, proper crediting and synopsis which is a main element in giving a appropriate detail to everybody to encourage them to download it and to show the author does show a dedication in making this map quality a decent one. This is a fine example of a appropriate description where a newbie in hiveworkshop should follow.

The forest terrain was well develop; my only complain about the terrain is the lack of wild life.

Next is the camera, the camera movement was smooth until the battle scene where the camera have a sudden rapid move (The battle scene where it overview the deathbringer and the human warrior by turning 180 degree). The camera speed movement was too fast at the part and there is a part where it's position was way off to the left that I almost cannot view the deathbringer.

As for the battle scene, it certainly was much better than the other as it does not use the concept of hack and slash only. The animation and sfx usage was fine, but the battle scene would surely leave a heavily critism from those with experience in making a battle cinematic as it contain 1 serious flaw where it can be view at most of the battle cinematic we ever seen.

The flaw I refer to is waiting syndrome. I watch the battle scene twice and I notice there is several times it happen. This is probably because you are using wait action instead of precise timing.

Overall, the quality of this cinematic was decent for average viewer. However, it would not be the same for those map maker with experience in making battle cinematic or hardcore fans of battle cinematic.

It would be 3/5 rating (Useful) based on the condition, but 2/5 rating (Lacking) if was rated on a much higher standard requirement.

As for me being acknowledge by infrane about the wait syndrome and being a battle cinematic maker, I would vote this a 2/5 (Lacking).

Of course, a vote of approval as well.

What need to be fix?

1) Camera movement & position
2) Trigger
3) Remove Wait syndrome

Oh, I just now noticed that some camera objects screwed up, it must be because the terrain editing. I did the terrain last, and didn't know it will mess up the cameras :(.

Thanks for the advices Septimus. Unfortunately I cannot fix anything because I lost the uncompressed map, but for the next chapter I'll use precise timing.
And the battle scene won't be slow motioned.

My Review:(In my Opinion)

My Ratings Value:
5/5 for Perfect
4/5 for Really Good
3/5 for Good
2/5 for Fair
1/5 for Bad
0/5 for Horrible
For Overall Rating:
15 - 20 for Perfect
10 - 15 for Really Good
05 - 10 for Bad
00 - 05 for Horrble

Story:3.5/5, well the story has some potential, but it's also a basic story. Maybe tense it up a bit more.
Quests:-
Combat:4/5,the combat scene was very well made, yet you could speed it up a bit more.
Sounds/effects/skills:4/5, i give it a 4/5, because there are custom musics, yet the first music doesnt fit very well. As i said before, there are just 3 persons talking to each other and there is a loud music.
Terrain:3/5, the terrain was fine, it looked a bit odd on some points, but overall it was acceptable
Gameplay/Fun factor-
Overall:14.5/20. Thats a high rating, but dont get too happy, because it could use some improvements aswell.The first thin i'd suggest, is that you find someone who can fix your grammar misspellings, cuz there are alot of them. Then you should fix the first music and then you have to fix the camera in the beginning, its just a camera moving very slowly, sometimes you dont even notice it. And then it would turn out to be a very good cinematic. Good luck!^^

I liked it, but the grammar and story line was .... mehh :/ and also refrain from using swear words in the dialogue, like "Fuuuuuu*k", rather make the dialogue more... tense :p e.g. "Can it be?!" or "How could you even consider that?" ... just saiyen :p good fight scene though, i liked it :) waiting for part 2
