1. You should link to the video information page, not your member main page. http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... p?v=128815

2. The video was at the wrong aspect ration. Elfen Lied is widescreen.

3. The editing was a bit slow, and the scenes tended to drag on. I liked that "skippy" scene towards the end, though.

4. Some of the scenes are too violent for the local server (I assume you missed the rules when you uploaded the video?)

5. This song is very slow for an EXTREME version. Though I'm amused by the idea. EXTREME EMO - I'M BEING SAD AS HARD AS I CAN

Ileia already brought up a number of important points, so I don't have a whole lot to say.

Although, I would like to note two things. Firstly, most sites credit that song as "Krwlng (feat. Mike Shinoda and Aaron Lewis)". I don't actually own the CD, so I can't be sure, but I've never seen it credited the way you have it. Secondly, to add to what Ileia's second point was, you shouldn't use downloaded footage. I almost didn't catch it, but then I saw part of the telltale red subtitles just at the very bottom edge halfway through the video. Elfen Lied is out on DVD now, so you ought to be using those.

Anyway, as for the actual editing, I found this to be more of a rehash of Lucy's childhood episodes than anything else. It had some interesting use of effects and editing, but as a whole, it went too slow and I felt like I was just watching a synopsis of the episodes. The last two minutes especially dragged on. However, although I wasn't too fond of the lipsynching, the trippy masking thing you did around 4:08 was pretty cool.

Overall... I don't know. This isn't a bad video by any means. It's just not something that holds the viewer's interest. Fix up some of the technical stuff and this might be more watchable, but it basically just needed more editing.

well thanx for the comment and about the widescreen and more technical stuff normally i still would work on it but you can say that someone kept whining about it and after a few weeks i get tired of it and finished it

and about the one who whined about this nothing personally but it is treu :p

ps: about the violence there stands that if you could see the innards,dismemberment of decapitation in a video that it is to violent and also on of the reason why i picked her childhood is that you there can't see one of them sinds it doesn't come in the video

thanx for the comment
