...Ayeka? Fans? Uh... no. There aren't any.

Good luck with that, though.

What? Hard to believe that an anime fan has enough class to appreciate an awesome in-depth character like Ayeka, who is not only classy but intelligent?

Unlike many female anime characters, she isn't made to appeal to male fans, and gasp she has a personality! BTW, character debates belong in the general discussion so I'm not going to get into it, so can you discuss my video and not troll, hmm?

If people were trolling, you'd know it. Just be glad you haven't met godix yet.

As for the video, I was intimately acquainted with the song (it's on the soundtrack of a Disney movie I've seen several times), and it was far more dynamic than your editing. Quality wasn't bad, but it certainly could have been better. Most A*Teens songs have several layers, and your editing barely reflected the top layer, and didn't do anything with the synthesized beats at all. You had lip flap all over the place and other than a general collection of lovey-dovey type scenes, you had no lyrical synch to speak of. Nothing specific at any rate. You could have gotten away with that if you had beat sync, but between the lack of internal sync and external sync, the excessive lip flap, and poorly chosen cuts, I felt as though I was watching a slide show, not an amv.

I don't mean to be cruelly harsh, but it would be wise to go back to the project files on this one. You need to story board first. Think of what you want to say and how that needs to be said. Since the song IS so aurally dynamic, you have plenty of ways to move the video along. Still, from a intertextual viewpoints, you are going against the flow here, no matter what you feel about the characters. Afterall:

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it, but no I'm not going to return to the project file. But your advice will come in handy next time.
Whoever 'won' as you stated isn't the freaking point. It's about Ayeka falling in love dee dee dee

Just be glad you haven't met godix yet.

I've met him, nice guy. A lot less harsher than you are.

Actually, it is an important point. Just as important as your footage quality or your sync. Why? Because you need to understand the context with which your viewers will be watching your video. You need to construct a pattern that shows powerfully how Ayeka feels.

Doesn't sound like the godix I know. And I am trying to offer genuine criticism, neither trolling nor a pat on the back.
