For those that don't know, MADs are a style of videos made in Japan that are somewhat similar to AMVs. In fact MADs and AMVs can often be the exact same thing. The type of MAD that we created is called a Seishiga MAD, and it uses still images to create a video. Please check it out and let us know what you think!
Not bad for a first attempt at a MAD. Looks like you guys did your homework studying the effects/tricks others have used before. You definately demonstrate competence with After Effects. But there isn't much of a cohesive balance between the music and what you're trying to show. There are moments where it syncs nicely with the beat, but otherwise it's just jumping from one effect to another. It doesn't feel like a "music video". Then again, I don't think
music video really applies to MADs. To me, it's more like a
DEMO.
If you want to know what DEMOs are, go here.
All in all, I'm impressed at your attempt at such a difficult style. And I applaud you for
finally offering some MADs for us to see. I've collected a few over the years but they are incredibly difficult to find - only available on Japanese sites which I can't read.
Good luck with it.
