EDIT: You've made some improvements since the last beta I saw...good stuff. ^^ Some of the cuts seemed to be timed a bit late, but I like the video, nevertheless. The masking stuff from 3:11 - 3:14 was awesome, along with the ending. Nice work, Niwa. :up:
Rawr ;3 hehe thanks :p yeah.. there was still some few cuts i have timed wrong along the way that i forgot to fix :/
XD glad u like it, i was afraid it would phail at that part since it gave me the most trouble coming up with the idea but it seems i succeded doing something good there :p

rubyeye wrote:I'm really enjoying this song. Skillet sound like an interesting band to check out. The video itself is one of the most engaging Elfen Lied AMVs I've seen in a while. Like "shinodude" said, it makes me want to watch the series again.

I liked a number of effects you used such as the color tones and character outlines. I even liked how the ending credits are mixed into video.

I seem to have a problem with some scenes you show, namely a couple of the mutilation clips. Being an animation, it makes the characters look too much like dolls so the horror factor is non-existant for me - it actually makes me laugh. Does that mean I'm de-sensitized by (cartoon) violence?

Beyond that, I don't see any real problems with it. The video is painstakenly edited, your timing is good and everything flows evenly. Oh, and your poster ROCKS!!
I made those mutilation just because it seemed empty without it somehow XD glad u liked the poster ^^

That might be a good way to get more downloads. Next time I release a video, I'll put the entire .org memberlist on it.
:O ahwell ima gonna do that next time but it would mean a bigger poster and bigger boobs at that part :/

I'd comment on the video, but there are no links up. I will say this : The banner is disgusting. Whoever made it has no skill whatsoever.
NO WAII i could do that :/ and yea i bet it was a whore who made that poster.... !

Uhm... I´ll this one out tommorrow with Greg´s new stuff.
Hmm.. It was a Shiori Tribute video i sent u i believe :O i dont have any Haruhi video ongoing atm...
CrackTheSky wrote:Nice video. Sync still needs a little tightening, especially near the end, and it's nothing especially original, but overall I dig the flow in this one. Keep it up :up:
Thanks :D yea u mentioned that before but it was hard :/ i tried my best tho.. But im glad u liked it anyway ^^
Kevmasterflashdeluxe wrote:This vid = awesomeness :up:



I fucking can't believe this got removed from LOCAL, Ive seen vids with much more violence or nudity than this here which are on LOCAL.. :?
Yay thanks :D im aware abort that too but yea… i should just accept as is it .

Fred,that was a kickass amv with a super hawt ending!!!! 8-) 8-)
Excellent editing with such a fitting song for Elfen Lied.And the quality was greatly improved since the last beta you sent me.Thanks also for my name in the poster!!! :wink:

As for violence and boobs,it was a bit violent but I consider it idiotic to be removed from local download because of the classic bloody scenes that every Elfen Lied amv has...

Anyway,I'll now be expecting your Shiori tribute man!!
Glad u liked man ;D i planned on sending u the final beta but u werent online then :/ aye i used a new method of GUI profile that worked great tho it took abort 2 hours before the encoding was completed but it was worth it i guess :p well ofc u are in the poster XD since u helped coming up some great ideas for the vid. Anyway im really glad u liked it and about the Shiori vid il try working with it asap after i got hold of the dvd versions.
omegaevolution wrote:ok, sendspace was bitching on me, I'm downloading your direct now, but I dunno I'm having second thoughts about this :? . Don't get me bad, I really want to check out what you did (Rokujinshou FTW :wink: ), but I always have this feeling when I see a violent Elfen Lied AMV :/ (like wanting to throw up my lunch, if you get what I mean).

EDIT: screw what I just said, that wasn't over my limit of tolerance O:, so yeah I could watch it without problems :D , now I agree with Kev. I have seen more violent ones here on local :/.

Oh well on to the video, the synch was good, but I just felt that in some parts it was off and in some parts you synch was kind of.... incomplete? :shock: , especially in the fast guitar beats when you use a quick change of scenes on the BG, you should have synched all or none of them lol. The editing was cool, I liked the manipulations you made on the footage. Also the ending was just awesome :D . The bad thing?, this still not convince me to watch the anime XD, but thats my personal opinion really. The song was cool too and it worked pretty well with what you showed in the vid :P

4/5, if you ask me, you improved A LOT compared to your last AMV 8-)
Elfen Lied is pretty much of violence on it and i as too a bit uncertain wathing it the first time but since it got a good score and my friend recommendation i took my chance. After seeing 2eps it seemed very interesting so it didnt stopped me on looking further. In the end I LOVED IT, such a great drama.. and romance was involved aswell that suprised me. So it wasnt so bad :) maybe when u take a look at the first eps but u will get over it later.

U know me... im not really good yet when it comes on syncing but i tried my best this time :O As for the fast guitar beats, i could agree having a better syncing there. I simply didnt pay enough attention on that part :/

thanks mate XD I wouldnt have improved like this if it wasnt for u guys :)
Kristyrat wrote:Very slick video, the pacing was superb and it just sucks you right in. Excellent horror elements, mixed in really smoothly with the rest of the video. Definately one of the better Elfen Lied videos out there, nicely done : up :

Wow i don’t know what to say :D thanks, im glad that u liked it ^__^ (love ur Psychosomasis video btw XD)
Bauzi wrote:Why are you not using your wallpaper effects/techniques in After Effects? That´s what I don´t understand. You can do exactly the same in AE, just with videos -.-'

So... I like it some effects didn´t fit in my honest eyes, but uhm... Yeah it´s the best amv I saw today and I saw many and there where a few VCA winners in them ;)

I guess: 5/5 ?

I like most the parts with the noise. They fitted most.
Its just that After Effect isnt really friendly with me :/ i still need to figured out how to make my video and audio worked there, i think u wrote about it for me before, ima gonna check my post later. Oh wow really ? XD yaay thanks ! : )

Very shmexy video, Niwa. I really like a lot of the changes you made from the last beta (like that hawt ending) to the final version, and this vid shows off how much you're improving as an editor. Great stuff indeed. :D

It's a compressed archive. Get a program like WinRAR or WinAce that can extract files from RAR archives.

Great video, it gave me chills. It sets the mood really well with pretty good scene selection all around. Some of the sync seemed a little off to me, but nothing big.

Overall: 5/5

Nice job. ^_^

You succeded in fixing most of the syncing problems, but there were some mistakes left in it.
I loved the atmosphere, the grain effects looked nice, the whole video quality was good. I like the editing style, and the scene selection was also okay.
The ending was great too :up:

That was probably one of the best Elfien leid videos Ive seen in a LOOONG time.
You concentrated mostly on what I particularly liked about the series, the story and drama more so than the blood gore and violence. You really impressed me with this one, nice and fitting effects that used more for the mood than to just look awesome, good editing synch, Awesome drama directing... really top notch job. Nice mp4 encode also.

might go into more detail in an op if I notice anything else constructive after the initial wow factor wears off ;p so for now:

:up: :up: 5 stars.

A refreshing Elfien leid video that actually has a good story, not just bloody violence. Thank you. *throws in Amv collection* :D
