Being A Superstar - AniNite 09 - Best Of Pro

[ExSphere]

Well this might be one of my favorite releases this year. Great concept, very entertaining, and left me wanting more

Almost felt like a bonus track from Dead to the world with the very dark and gloomy atmosphere.
I plan on op'n this when I get a chance. 5/5

Alright. Sry that I don't have the time to answer, but the download for the HD version is fixed now with an indirect link to megaupload.

I didn't enjoy this at all, it felt like a Beowulf Video except that it was boring.

Plot was predictable, so was every bit of lyric sync. Manson is overdone and feels like every popular song of his really would need something creative and original as hell to keep me interested, also his songs tend to have a really boring main beat that's easy as hell to edit to.

The camera interface effect seemed to only be there for the purpose of having a bigger eye catch thingy in the video and served no other purpose, the noise could've been integrated without the interface design/concept which has already been used too much IMO.

In general the atmosphere felt rather bland and in terms of emotion or passion I didn't feel anything, so I still don't 'understand' your taste but I thought I'd leave my two cents anyways.

woo perfect blue<3
That was awesome. Really nailed the creepiness.

[CrackTheSky]

I agree with every single thing Ingow said, so I won't repeat most of it. It was just boring to me, the pacing and everything was predictable and bland. Nothing at all stood out, I just didn't enjoy it. Sorry man.

That was very cool, I digged it a lot. Also, glad to see that you were mostly able to get rid of the banding - spotted only some light banding here and there, but due to the encoding settings I think, not much one can do about that unless by using very high bitrates.
Definitely a creepy amv, good job. 5/5

PS: VLC is

Generally, I hate Manson, but I thought I'd give it a shot and was surprised to find that I liked the video. A little predictable, yes, but overall I enjoyed the mood of the video.

[Bauzi]

*sigh* Let me reply on the more "easier stuff".

It was super-fecking awesome.

Thankies

But one question... is nudity allowed in the local versions of amvs? I believe you have to put the "uncensored" tag in it

GloryQuestor asked me to put a warning sign on the video information page. That's the second time I have to do something like that. I think I get used to it xD

I really dug that, some very nice editing and pace, good feeling and concept.
I was expecting some advanced layer-blending knowing you, so in that way I got a little disappointed.
Still really enjoyed it, good job dude

Thanks man. About the layer-blending: Maybe next time dude. I think this video doesn't need it.

Op'ed great work man

Thanks for the op! It was very helpful.

not sure about this one. Guess it was ok.

The good/bad comments ratio surprises me in a positive way though. It's still ok to be ok =)

That was awesome! Even the low quality version lagged for me...I hate my comp

Maybe there will be an XviD version later, but I don't know about the quality

First off, I'd like to point out that you manage to archive the same, sick, dirty atmosphere I love with every new video even though you edit it in a completely different style.

Editing was superb, crystal clear video- and audio quality, addition of new-school elements in a video that mostly keeps an old-school feel throughout.

Well, this is the third video of yours that finds a way into my charts.

5/5

Glad you liked it. This is exactly the type of themes that I like the most for editing.

Cool. Thanks for the comment!

Creepiness is my job =)

I think it did a great job so far. Even higher bitrates didn't fixed too much. I think I got to the limits of my video source. The dark areas sometimes suck ass, but the brigth scenes are sex. =)

I'm glad you enjoyed it. mhm... I agree with the video being predictable, but personally I don't have a problem with it. It doesn't bother me.



Now to the more harder to answer comments -.-

I didn't enjoy this at all, it felt like a Beowulf Video except that it was boring.

Dude, I like you, but I do feel somehow offended and I really need to defend my work here. I can deal with critism as long as it is based on good points. Here are the things that bother me!

like a Beowulf Video except that it was boring

What's bad about a style that's gets close to his? I don't feel like a copycat at all. This is my style and I do love Manson's music (beside a lot of his newest songs...) and I'm a huge fan of him.

In general the atmosphere felt rather bland and in terms of emotion or passion I didn't feel anything, so I still don't 'understand' your taste

That's my main problem with your problem. It feels like you want to say that my taste is not good. This video gives me a lot of atmosphere, emotion and there are parts with a lot of energy in it. Ok you don't like the song. That's fine, but don't judge the video on a opinion that's partialy based on a song you dislike.

The camera interface effect seemed to only be there for the purpose of having a bigger eye catch thingy in the video and served no other purpose, the noise could've been integrated without the interface design/concept which has already been used too much IMO.

Come on. It has a purpose and really fits to the theme. Beside the concept and theme it's purpose was to hide the lack of scenes (I mean the internet scenes). Noise alone without the interface wouldn't be a camera view, but plain boring. I could use TV logos and more distortion or scannlines, but that's not the design that I would prefer.

I agree with every single thing Ingow said, so I won't repeat most of it. It was just boring to me, the pacing and everything was predictable and bland. Nothing at all stood out, I just didn't enjoy it. Sorry man.

It's ok if you don't like it. I don't suppose anybody to like my works. As said: I don't see anything wrong with being predictable. That's what I liked about the video. It's simpel to follow.

Uhm... One more thing: Is it that important that a video has to stand out to be good or at least "ok"? I doubt it. This video was never supposed to stand out anywhere.

[Ingow]

lol bauzi i objectively gave it a 3/5 in terms of star rating, that's "ok".

That's my main problem with your problem. It feels like you want to say that my taste is not good. This video gives me a lot of atmosphere, emotion and there are parts with a lot of energy in it. Ok you don't like the song. That's fine, but don't judge the video on a opinion that's partialy based on a song you dislike.

>problem with your problem

And no, that point has nothing to do with the song, a lot of songs I don't like at first in a passionate AMV, but over time it grows on me due to how much emotion and personal value the video seems to deliver. With your work I just never get that feeling, your videos seem stale, typically german (there is no typically austrian), as in too technical and it feels "bureaucratic" and cold.

Like, you know when someone does art, and the viewer can make out little errors and glitches or here and there a personal touch because it's a certain scene selection that could only be seen as negative for anyone except for the creator himself? That's what I'm talking about, your video felt so predictable because it seemed to follow a fully developed plan and structure, like one of those crime shows on german TV. I hate that.

[Shinz]

Hm, I like the conception and the mood, but i realy miss some more beat sync. The editing was too slow for me, well its only my taste. Anyway, because of that i will check out the anime.
