I think i need to watch it a couple more times but it's probably among my 2 favorite AMVs from you. Definitly my favorite AMV from this years Connichi.
awww thats nice to hear since you didn't like my entry from last year very much <3

U just tried? I would love to see a video to that song :(
But anyway thanks for your comment!

Anyway, like I said, it is a good video and I'm really impressed that you tried something new. Next time you make a "serious" video, you have to make the big bald guy cry though. I'm pretty sure you can manage that :3
Phil :3
...maybe I should try watching AMVs without pants some times too. I'm now curious if that would make some difference in some cases :D
OK next time I will try harder and I'll be sure that the big bald guy will cry ;)

Addiction:
It's definitely very different from your typical romance video but it's exactly the sort of thing I could imagine with this type of song. It leans more in the direction of being a drama video because you decided to show the interrelationships between a bunch of characters instead of focusing solely on two of them. I haven't seen the anime myself but from your video I can get a grasp on how they all feel about each other which is pretty nice in terms of conveying a story.

The technique...while it's a good thing to experiment with a new style, it does tend to get old after a while especially with a 3 minute long full AMV. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to this kinda thing but I like the idea of using stillshots to create movement in scenes when played in quick succession, and if I'm right this is supposed to be called stop motion? I also like the idea of making it seem as if they are watching this like a film they made about themselves, though whether it's their true life story or not is something I'm not sure about. But yeah going back to my original point, I like the technique for being unique but I didn't really like it as much past the halfway mark. Perhaps it was the sharp cuts that made it feel awkward, I'm not sure. In general, the flow felt very broken and after a while it was kinda difficult to watch. I would have preferred some different camera/film technique to keep up with the theme or just some plain softer editing later on instead so it's easier on the eyes. But as it stands currently, it's not a bad video. Just not one I enjoyed very much.

Taking Chances:
Normally I dislike videos with excessive colouring but this was actually really nice. The vibrant colours made the video "pop" out more than usual and the sync is also excellent. :up:

After a long time i must say, i like this. Its different to your other videos and has a nice mood. But some "effects" were a bit to often, it was this shutter cuts, but well hard to explain for me....

when editing this I set it as a goal for myself to use transitions or other soft editing-techniques as few as possible for the main part of the video. Soooo...sorry but I won't be sorry for your hurting eyes ;)
Thank you for always watching my videos and giving an honest opinion! I hope that you'll like my next video more than this one <3
