I am working on a new video now finally after almost a year. Don't know when it will be finished but I have been working on it since I'm off from college for a month. So I'm hoping it will be enjoyable.
Your segment was one of my favorites in the project
I like the editing style in your videos

Have you dicided if you are gonna do a remaster of that "We Believe You" video and whats your new one about? ^_^

That was actually pretty good, I think I enjoyed every track in this project.

The 2 that I liked the most was the Kiddy grade and Shakugan no shana segments, but I also apreciated some of the later tracks towards the end that actually told something of a story rather than just being mindless action and effects, which was beginning to get old, since alot of the videos have the same or similar style. The 2 that stick in my mind right now is the sailormoon and Oran High school segments for that.

Regardless, good work on an overall well done project.

Edit: Btw I did not look at the credits, so those comments are not biased towards any particular editors, since I don't know who did what ;p

Edit2: I forgot to mention, I also thought the music in this was a bit monotinous, It needed some variation. Made it harder to sit through 20 mins of similar styled videos in one sitting and made the project feel realy long. One thing that I think Ayumix and ROS has to its advantage in that area is that the music is not only very upbeat but vary and change up styles and tempos that it doesn't feel so long. This could be the fault of the band though, if all their music sounds like this.

Hmm yeah most of trust companys songs sound very similar it's actually hard to tell the difference if you dont know the band. Dont worry i dont think the comments you made were biast, the 2 tracks you liked were made by Sierra Lorna (Shakugan No Shana) and SacredArrow18 (Kiddy Grade) and i'm sure they are glad you liked it, thanks for taking the time to review the mep. :)

Downloading now.

I was a fan of Trust Co. when their first CD came out, not so much after their second for the same reason everyone else has mentioned - monotonous. I'll still give it a shot. I like the editor line-up.

Edit: Downloaded, watched. More detailed op to be left later after further review. Initially, I really, really enjoyed the 2 Cowboy Bebop tracks(sole complaint being that it was used twice. The tracks were both very different and well edited). The track that started at 17:43 started off rather poorly, but grew on me as the style began to shine later in the track.

Favorite track was the one set to Hover. Fantastic editing. Spot on.

As a whole, I would advise the editors that participated to not feel pressured to make so many cuts. I think that was something I felt the whole way through - there were a lot of extraneous cuts that just really didn't feel necessary, footage-wise or musicwise. Sometimes fewer cuts makes all the difference, and that seems like the case here.

Overall, a decent MEP. Can't say that I'll be keeping it, but it was worth the download. Hover track: 10/10. Cowboy Bebop tracks, 8/10. Everything else, 6/10.

I'm liking the comments left, both good and bad. I still love the way the MEP turned out and I personally feel I've shown my love for TC physically.

Damn,I was away for a week and didn't notice it until now.Finally,it's out.However,,mixed feelings I see about this MEP,Greek!!
Anyway,I'm downloading it now so wait for an opinion or comment on it.Hope it turned out well because I really like Trust Company although I don't have their 1st album full.I miss several tracks.

As for some comments about TC's music,it's true that they may sound monotonous after a while but I still believe that they rock.The War Is Over,Downfall,Silently,Deeper Into You and Hover are my favorites.
