Really great cinematic dude.
Cool camera movement, effects, sound, everything.
Long time didn't watched something like this :)

Can I request from you to check some tutorials here, terrain can be improved a little, also triggers leaks, so improve them when you find time.
Once again, great cinematic.

If -Kobas- says so, I really have to download and see for myself :3

Edit : Indeed, a decent quality cinematic that might be an "intro" for an RPG , if you ask me. As -Kobas- mentioned, the terrain and triggers certainly can be improved, but I have to add : a few of your slow-motion bits were too "stretched-out" but I admit I haven't seen a good cinematic on this site for months now. Cheers to you! ^ ^

At first, judging by the name I thought Ogre Arena was some dull, boring, unimaginative shitspawn. Then I downloaded it and watched.

+ Nice sound effects, excellent use of camera effects, and some of the greatest combat scenes ever made in a cinematic.
- The poor atmosphere as a result of the shitty models, terrain, and lack of background music kinda degrades the experience.

Overall, a surprisingly good cinematic! Only thing is you need to touch up on the presentation, though this isn't as important as the content of the cinematic, which was amazing. 4/5.

Well i hope you make it dude, this is great, well you dont have to make uber story, just make smtn cool.

I really enjoyed it, i would like 9 more episodes.

Well i didnt checked if map is protected, but it would be great if it isnt protected, so i can learn a bit about sinematic :)

Excellent and cool cinematic! It is like in the movies indeed. How did you make the falling ogre and footman, and the swork sticking in the ogre?
I rate it 5/5 and rep!
I used the ogre and footman's death animations and changed their animation speed, and for the sword i edited the footman's model using war3modeleditor and made a separate model using his sword, then just added a special effect using the sword model i made attached to the ogre's chest.

Well i hope you make it dude, this is great, well you dont have to make uber story, just make smtn cool.

Im currently working on another project but when ive finished that im definitely considering making more episodes.

Review from Millzy

Camera - 5/5
the camera work is great you see every thing well and its smooth

Terrain - 3.5/5
the terrain is nice its very thought out not much u can do with just an arena tho

Story - 2/5
im sorry there isent very much at all for a story, its just an arena match with small back ground story.

Animations/special effects - 5/5
the effects and animations are used very well. some great moments with the effects and animations.

Overall
overall is a great cinematic thats only really lacking story

Final Rating : 4/5
