I even didn't know where u got this with the "lie" , you're making drama from nothing!
its absolute sure, that no one is even possbile to make everything free with his own in such a short time, when persons will try it will took about 1 year, thats why film editors have more then 20 designers.
you wrote now all the stuff.. and now?
I bought some stuff and some stuff I was just able to make it because of the tutorials. thats true! no one can start out of anything, with the earth zoom for example, taking the tut and making a one which fits to the movie ( i used original sweden google earth pics ).
you always have a start somewhere, and then edit this too from cinemalook till own clips/pictures (im not talking about replacing text or something).
same with the blood thing and others, to make every element and frame, will cost ~unbelieveable time~ so thats why templates are there, same with light sabers, but to put them into your own video to make it look good, thats the own performance.
Maybe its easy to do for you because you are like u said experienced.
but I call stuff "easy" when you just do something with windows movie maker with an black background and white text.
Im usually giving credits for all stufs even for things which are insignificant
but as u can see, my time is already limited, i actually have to upload the video, editing music timelines etc, (my pc is 24/7 on, so Im not there actually) and having my own projects. but first post and youtube description is edited now with the credit to video/copilot like it should be. and thats right, have to mention them, the problem was, that the last days were to stressful, anyways, done ~
good that you make templates and sell them =)
same here when not too often and not public.
