New AMV - Elfen Lied + Mindless Self Indulgence

Dirtymopwater · Post by **Dirtymopwater** » Tue Aug 29, 2006 10:18 pm

Hello everybody. This is my first post after more than two years of indulging in the bliss that is watching AMVs, and now I have made my first video. While it is to Elfen Lied, it is not just endless clips of senseless violence. I prefer to think of it as choreographed senseless violence.

I am eager to receive any kind of feedback or criticism.

Title: Kindly Refrain From Engaging in Verbal Discourse at the Time Being
Anime: Elfen Lied
Song: Mindless Self Indulgence - "Shut Me Up"
Length: 2:48

Pretty decent for a first video. You seem to have a grasp on internal beat-sync, though some effects wouldn't hurt. Not that it calls for anything really flashy, but some quick fades and such might help. There wasn't a whole lot of lyrical sync going on (though MSI isn't exactly the easiest music to lyric-sync), which is an area that might use some extra attention on your next work. The visual and audio quality was quite good, though. Not many first-time editors manage to nail the encoding process, but you seem to have done well in that regard.

Only real issue is that graphic violence isn't allowed on the Local server, so there's a chance the video might be pulled. Elfen Lied is kinda notorious for that. Anyhow, looking forward to seeing your future work, and good luck to you.

Whoa, I have to echo what Aqua said, definitely a good video. But yeah, that violence on local = no. (However, I'll host it for you if you want).

Wow, very slick stuff. I can't add too much to what Aqua posted on, internal sync was excellent, especially for a first video. Definately strong in the beginning, though I found the ending lacked a little steam, but otherwise, very nice stuff. One of the best new vids I've seen around lately.
