Hmm, your editing seems different :O More defined? I liked the edit quite a bit but (like your comments said) it would have helped a little if I took time to watch PA. I think I know what the theme was though! O.O Would be cool to see this one at a con...even though I've only been to my loacl one. Enjoyable watch. Can't wait to see your next..this is interesting hehe...

Thank you~ I worked quite a lot on this one, around 50 hours or more.. Like I said, really barely slept 3 days (around 3-7 hours in total) so i could finish it. I tried making it better than my others. I only have 2 vids in the con to worry about for 1st place.. I would be sad if i got 2nd or 3rd place but we'll see when we get there ^_^ I'm glad you liked it, MD~ *huggies* thankies~

I'm really glad you enjoyed it, thank you

Yeah, i'd like to re-watch it too. It's been 3 years since i've watched it. It's a good anime

Another satisfied watcher, yayz.

p.s. Leave an opinion if you have time, guys. I only got 5 so far (but yummy, the best ops i had so far on any of my vids, best rated

). I'd appreciate it and return it when u get smt new (or anything)

Thanks.

That was quite nice, I thought you had the editing and mood sync pretty much down (although that part where I think you did something like lip sync - with the kid keeping his mouth open at 1:08 - I'd avoid that in a video that's otherwise not lip-synched, it looks a bit silly). Also, I wondered a bit about the overall look of the video - probably a source thing, but the colours are a bit washed out and the contrast/brightness are kind of low. Might even be intentional in the series, but I'd have tweaked that for this video - it's too dynamic mood-wise to keep with the washed-out colour.

Otherwise definitely good use of a whole lot of fairly simple techniques to good effect, and keeping up a good variety and dynamic in the footage helps. Nicely done!

Umm... [something]/[something]?

Thank you

Finally some constructive criticism. Everyone so far, in the ops (and comments) said it's good, enjoyable etc.. but haven't told me what looked wrong and what i should fix so thank you. You're right, the lip sync was pretty weird but i wanted to make it look like he was talking about his social life therefore the cutting scenes over the lip sync. The colors are like that in the mkvs i have used so it was from the source. I actually played around with contrast a bit in some scenes because it seemed too faded because otherwise it would've been even brighter and faded.
I'm glad you liked it and thank you for the detailed comment. If you leave an op, i'll definitely write a good one for u as well on any of your vids

Well, my vids are all old though >__>

But I'll try, after I (hopefully) finish my homework!

And I know what you mean about the source thing... still, I'm pretty sure with some filtering you could've got it to look a bit better and brighter. I can't recommend anything specific now though, since it's been over two years that I had to work with older, somewhat-washed-out footage.

Great

Thanks. Let me know if there's any of your projects u want me to op for u, u can send a pm ^^ I tried cleaning noise filters and i kinda over-filtered so that's why it takes a tad of detail out.. but the mkvs weren't exactly much different than in my vid either. Anyway, what i meant was that i haven't tried coloring/contrast filters yet.. didn't see them on the filter page but then again, after 3 days/nights with no sleep, i barely saw the monitor and encoding program.. zzZzzz..
^^ i took the chance cause i liked the anime very much and haven't used it in the 3 years since i've watched it but next time i'll make sure to work more on the coloring/contrast/etc

gotta improve anyway

lots to learn

(..so little time, so much to do..)
