Soundtrack: Miracle - CHVRCHES
Drive (feat. The Chain Gang of 1974) - Jai Wolf

Let me first start off by saying, I made this as a surprise for Tony and therefore was unable to use any of his old live captured clips that he was planning on using. So this is by no means an “official” M2 from Kampy - this is a project that I made using all the information I had from Tony and was made mostly as a birthday present and a tribute in a way to all of the entertainment that Kampy has given the community over the years.

With that in mind, Tony and I were originally going to dual edit his montage 2 before he disappeared. This is the main reason I felt uniquely compelled to take this project on myself. We discussed everything from the clips, song choices (more on that later), editing style, to the little touches that he enjoyed most in his favorite edits. I took all of this to heart when I made this project (and added some little references too) and I hope I did it justice.

The soundtrack to this video was a topic of much debate for Tony when he was in the process of editing. He went through a few songs and scrapped multiple edits. He brought the second song (Drive) to my attention shortly before he left, so I figured this would be the song he would most enjoy being used. The first song however, was something I pretty much winged. Tony was very much set on having a dedicated Champ FFA section in this video and wanted a fast paced song for it. He waited for MONTHS for a song to release only to be disappointed with the final version. So with this in mind, I went to Tony’s SoundCloud likes and saw that he liked the most recent Chvrches album. So I picked a short, fast paced, song that I thought I could edit to well. I hope you like it Tony!

I don’t really need to say this, but the gameplay in this video is absolutely ridiculous. Tony felt strongly about variety in his montages and would always prefer a flashier lower multi to a more standard jaro+. I went through every single one of his account’s DVR films to find the clips that I believed he would want to use in a main montage. Some of the FFA clips I remember him talking about were expired, but I think I found all of the social clips he wanted to use. To reiterate, since this was a surprise project, I DID NOT CONSULT TONY AT ALL ABOUT THE CLIPS IN THIS VIDEO. So, I chose the gameplay based on everything Tony and I talked about related to his video standards. I think I did a good job overall with the clips I chose and again, Tony’s gameplay is just insane.

Editing wise, I tried to stick to the fundamentals here. Tony always favored simple edits that showcase gameplay first and foremost. That’s what I consider to be my biggest editing strong suit, so I felt very comfortable with the decisions I made in this video. When we were going to dual edit, Tony wanted me to add my “signature” glows and flares, so I kept those throughout the video as long as they didn’t interrupt the gameplay. I honestly feel like this is some of my best flow in an edit so far and am very happy with the result. Editing H5 can be an absolute pain with the constant medal annoyances, angle staging (thanks a ton to Mint Blitz, Bambo, La Jako, and Games4uie), and its uncanny ability to make every CC I’ve ever made look like absolute trash, but I pushed through it and I hope you all love it. Shoutout to DoubleAA for some serious help throughout this.

Finally, I just wanted to give a quick message to Tony. I know you’re very private about your life man and I respect that, but just know that your presence in this community is sorely missed. Being a part of your stream’s community, making a dualtage with you, and meeting up with you and the homies in ATL last year have made a serious impact on my life. You were the person who first inspired me to make Halo content and meet people in the community and I will always be grateful of that. Whether or not you return, I hope this video shows off the amazing clips you hit, fun stream moments we had, and ultimately how much easier you made the majority of the H5 lifespan for the community. Much love man, thank you for everything.

With all this said and done, please enjoy and let me know what you think in the comments. Kampy's streams became a daily part of my schedule and I became great friends with Tony and many awesome Halo people through his stream, so this video really means a lot to me.
