It was ok. Nothing revolutionary or groundbreaking, but interesting enough to keep. Video quality was fine, but could have been better. Song choice was kind cool though.

First off... absolutely GORGEOUS song... thanks for introducing me to such a wonderful artist. :)

Now, about the video... I think there are some good scene selections but the sync feels a bit awkward sometimes - I would recommend using crossfades for this particular song because it's a very soft song; straight cuts feel too abrupt for the feel of the video.

Video quality is my second complaint; not sure where you got your copy of Nausicaa but I know the remastered DVD release of this anime looks a lot cleaner than that. There's a lot of pixelation and blurry frames in your video - I would turn off re-sampling and de-interlace in the editing software for this source because it feels to me like the editing software is mistreating the footage.

This could have been really good, but as already mentioned, the deinterlacing ist poor. And, hell, Check your Aspect Ratio! It's off. Really.

Thanks to everyone who replied, I think its pretty obvious what needs to be done. I guess the old saying holds true "Garbage in, garbage out". Im sure i'll need to tinker with the settings in Premiere, but Im also gonna have to find better settings when ripping the dvds. More homework.

Thanks ya'll, im gonna keep this stuff in mind.
