Good Evening People of Cyber Nations.
Today, I have completed my first offical video for the newly popular CNN or Cyber Nations News.
This Episode does not contain any new information ( new to people who don't spend much time on OWF).
This is pretty much a test, seeing how i would do with all this new programs.
I spent about 4 hours on and off working on this project.
It looks simple, but for a new person to windows movie maker, it was a great project for me to have done.
So i hope you enjoy it, below it the link.

A good first attempt, I don't like the logo very much though, and I still like PNN

Well, I like that you took the effort to make this.

I tried doing this once. I put an actual voice track on it, but my voice doesn't really work out very well. Work on graphics a bit and choose a better song, otherwise, alright job.

If this gets enough effort it could be ok.
As it is, that was a wasted 1:20.

I personally prefer The Cyber Nations Chronicle
</bias>
I like what you're doing, but there isn't a huge amount of information in these, also, have you got any audio that's more related to CN? Like, an audio commentary, the headline comes up and you speak about it?
Just a thought.

There's a distinct lack of Pacifican jackboots here. However, I do appreciate the soundtrack. I'll rate a 6/10 with a nod toward a lot of potential for better. Good going guys - look forward to seeing future releases.

Pacificans are not allowed to wear jackboots as part of surrender terms...

Also it's kind of funny that everyone is starting this thing up at once. Our own media department is working on a flash animated History of Cybernations as we speak.

I'll stick with Cyber Nations Chronicle...
Good effort; just not as informative as I'd prefer.

Oh? Can you tell us more? I'm intrigued.

Pfff, you didnt even use the name of the war which would have been an obvious lead in to naming the One who displayed a moment of genius in that naming.
Not a bad first start though, we all must learn to crawl before walking.

Still needs work, and the logo hurts the eyes, but this is light years ahead of your last video. Thank you for grammar

Talk to Simon Demontfort, he could probably give you a lot of advice. Good first attempt, agree with those saying you need to work with a graphics editor more..paint sucks.
Good job man.

thank you ALL.......this was infact a test of how good i could make a video with sound and stuff..that was really my first try. NOW IN THE NEXT VIDEO.....since i got my camera, i will try to find a converter to convert my video's onto WMM and then we will have a REAL news broadcast including me ( anchorman) and the real set up desk and everything.
so once again , thanks so much,

I beg of you, use grammar. It will make people read so much more your stuff.

Good first try, although a few things you can do to make it better.
1. I'm not sure if English is your first language or not. Either way, try to use better grammar skills.
2. Talk to some of the artists around here to make a better logo.
3. Be unbiased in your reporting and don't use text. I suggest either recording your own voice or using a text to speech program. If you are using voice, speak clearly and articulate. If you are using a text to speech program to record voice, I suggest using a woman's voice.
4. Don't use the music longer than you need. 5-8 seconds at the beginning and the end should be sufficient.
Good luck on your next try.

I would suggest not using video if you're going to continue this. There's no point in a video news report that is all text.

Ahh! I remember Drakes News. Why did you stop? Voice just needed to be tweeked a bit! But content was cerebral enough! You should look into resuming.

Nice creativity, if this gets noticed you might actually get alliances to aid you to put them on the next vid
