I liked it, aside from the technical flaws, even enjoyed alot of it. Got sucked into the atmosphere of the song. It was a weird but interesting watch overall.

3/5

lol don't know about originality but it passes for a
3/ 5 (according to org scoring that's actually good, not the 60% that you'd logically think it is, that's just above a 'meh' and just under an 'awesome!!')
I basically mimic what crack-the-sky says... just I'm not as sick of this genre (if done well) as he is and I consider this spit polished. Still shit, but polished shit

and I appreciate that.

1) The song
2) The use of the music video
3) Lyric awareness

Bad:
1)Quality/AR
2) Timing - in some places this was really good, but in others it was just an overload of flashes, weird transitions and rapidly changing scenes.

This

There's some parts that I didn't really like but the better parts made up for it ^^ Been a while since I actually watched a new vid twice in a row haha

Although I think that might be because I like the song ^^ Still well done for the effort

I'll echo CrackTheSky on this one. The Owl City footage didn't look like it served any overarching purpose other than to save you from choosing anime clips. Then again, it matched the rest of the footage in the fact that it had no coherent progression at all. You had a couple of scenes that worked out, though. One that I particularly liked was your use of Naruto when the song said "believe".

If youve ever seen the original Owl City video to this song, youll notice there is no progression in that video as well. Basically I took out all the footage of the random toys they used and replaced it with anime

Which is what this videos original intention was.. to make an 'anime' version of the original video

CrackTheSky wrote:I feel like the reason I've come to hate these multi-anime mashup videos is because the editors think that since all they're really doing is putting together a bunch of pretty scenes from different anime that occasionally match up with the lyrics, they can get away with not doing any actual editing and hope that the viewer is just captivated by all the dramatic scenery and pretty colors. I felt like this video had no flow or relation at all to the music, and the inclusion of the actual music video for the song made no sense to me. It was just a bunch of random scenes that didn't take the music's pacing into account at all, with no real concept or purpose behind it to make up for the lack of editing.

Sorry man, did not enjoy this video one bit.

1.5/5

-claps-

pretty much this, but i dont know what he means by lack of editing, it just kinda felt mindless like he said...

the half point musta been for putting the A back in AMV ;o

wow..I love this song I love Owl City *points to her Ambiance amv* i wanted to do one to "Fireflies" but i thought it was too specific. But, omg~ you interpreted it differently than i did and it is just so beautiful. I think the use of the real life footage worked quite well when you consider how it started out as a video projected on a screen. Your amv had incredible flow and smoothness..omg~ it was just amazing! Please keep creating! Oh and you gotta show me how to do that ripple affect!
4/5 = quality of Cardcaptor Sakura and Shakugan no Shana T_T besides that awsm~!
oh a weird note: why you no use The Third? oo!!
