It's good to see someone new trying their hand at movie-making. Please accept my constructive criticism..it is well intended. I like the Opening Title sequences and music selections.
Some basics:
1. NEVER manually pan with your mouse. Use TIR or various padlock options. Never manual. It is jerky and the viewer immediately thinks "Ahhh! He is moving his mouse now". It destroys immersion.
2. Remove all on-screen TEXT and icons. Avoid the Mouse-over Text when the instruments and controls are seen. It is fine to see them if you are producing an In-Game Video, but not if you are producing a Movie (Story plus cinematography plus Editing plus Soundtrack)
3. Between rendering and the youtube processing, what might be good night-time footage In-Game usually comes out Far Too Dark to enjoy.
It would be a good idea to read some of the Stickie Threads about movie-making basics and techniques. You've named two of the best movie and video makers. Their styles are entirely different...and there is plenty of room between them for others to rise to the top.
Good Luck!
