Anime Boston competition o.O
I must check this one out.

Edit: This was pretty good though it looks like you could have cleaned up your video footage little more. Also some of the scenes seem sort of randomly placed making the flow of the story kind of hard to follow for those who haven't seen the movie.
It was a good video though. It's alway nice to see decent videos for this song^^
Good luck in the contest.

First, technical matters:
  • Why is this a .divx? As far as I can tell, it's a renamed AVI.
    What's with the borders? They look hella bad, and take up space. When you fade to white and similar, they just become painfully obvious.
    Compression looks bad. This one can probably be laid squarely at the feet of DivX.
Second, thematic issues. 'Eden' is a very potent song, so I had high hopes. My mistake. From looking at your plot summary, you seem to lack a decent grasp of how much plot can reasonably be put into a three to five minute video. The video suffered for this. Beyond that, it felt like you were making the song do all the work. Meaning that you didn't pull off much of anything.

At least your timing was technically good, even if it was nothing special.

When I compressed it to an AVI the timing was off for some reason, so that's why I chose .divx instead.
I did not place the borders there. If you've seen the movie or have the dvd, you would know that it is widescreen, and I found nothing in iMovie that would resolve that. If there is such a thing, then I would be more than eager to know.
Thank you for your thoughts.
