- Offsite links are allowed, but you are required to have a catalog entry for that video as well. Threads announcing videos that do not contain a catalog entry will be moved to the Awaiting Catalog Entry sub-forum and will be deleted in 2 weeks if an entry is not created.
- When posting announcements, it is recommended that you include links to the catalog entries (using the video ID) in your post.

I might check it out....it's just more Samurai X stuff. >_> I guess I still will. Check back here for comments.
Watched: I thought that was....kinda boring. I've seen this AMV many times, and the OVA stuff that just redraws Kenshin just makes me snooze. The synching was pretty slow too, you let stuff run on for long amounts of time, and when the song got fast you still continued to show slow clips....so yeah, and it was almost 5 minutes. I was pretty bored. I would give this 2/5, work on the synching the most I would say.

I hate to criticize a video made "in loving memory," but since I bothered to download and watch it...
For a first video this would have been pretty good, but I was expecting more from a third..
Quality: Pretty bad. Blocky, grainy, black borders on the edges,
Editing: Lots of long scenes. Let me clarify, there is NOTHING wrong with long scenes if the song calls for it, but your choices didn't connect to the song. You used quite a few dialogue scenes--these aren't meaningful sans dialogue. Also, the flow of a music video (unless you're actually recording your own footage for the song) is mostly determined by cuts between scenes. It's pretty unlikely that you'll be able to match up ten continuous seconds of a scene with ten seconds of a song's rhythm.
Other: You knew what story you were telling and established the relationship well. The long scenes weren't so bad after a few minutes, too, and your editing seemed to improve toward the end.
Oh and I'm REALLY curious: did you use the director's cut of Reflection? There were a bunch of freeze frames I did not recognize.
