I would actually liked to have babies with this vid, so we can produce many small versions of it!

One of the best vids this year!

That was friggin awesome. And no, it didn't remind me of Twilight at all. Really great compositing work. The condensed breathe + heat haze did throw me a bit though.

That really was amazing. Brilliant roto, great mood throughout, for the most part the sources were blended great.


I'm not gonna say it needed a story. But it did feel almost..meaningless. like a tech demo. Not so much an amv as a series of short clips to prove this technique could be done.

Didn't like it at all. It was no different than the countless number of multi-anime videos that do nothing but sync emotional scene after emotional scene to the music to try to get the viewer to feel something without actually giving the scenes any context, or doing any real work.

Obviously you did work and it's a very pretty video, but in the end it's just a montage of scenes of characters either crying or about to cry. The novelty kinda wore off about halfway through.

Some pretty fantastic composition going on here. From a technical and a creatively intelligent perspective, this was an excellent video. And while some might consider it lacking in plot or direction, I was content to sit back and watch the video as it was, without the need for a story. If anything, I might have simply been distracted by an added story, when this video really stands on its own as a technically and compositionally competent piece.
