Hehehe. I dug the edit..fit the song nicely XD The colors in quite a few of the parts were over done...but I was looking past that that most of the time. I enjoyed this one o.O scene placement did it alot for me.

Danke :3
neorose wrote:Well Chii this was very classic of your style of editing but I will agree with some one the use of color effects did more damage than helped the vid. I sill liked it for the most part but its not your best by far. I think that asking you to not make a super flashy amv is like asking Godix to not be a jerk.

4/5
Thanks~ no worries i'll tone down on the colors next time.

Yesss you must!

The beginning is epic!

The AMV is very visually appealing ... has a range of colors superimposed very well.

Her best Chii Video! :up:

5/5
Aww thanks, glad you liked :>

Keep the good job :up: but use less colors kitchy effects :sweat:
Hehe no worries my newer vids wont be as colorful.
Thanks for the comment!

good sync and tech mix, color wash didn't hurt as much as Some of the reviews say. More Chii doing what she does and pushing the envelope 4/5...(more likie 4.49 out of 5, but the system dont work that way...yet)
*^-^*

bow down to the Chii

Meh... It was good but using the background thing you had going on through the whole video got annoying fast. You should of just picked parts where you were trying to emphasize the dark theme with the song to use it. I know you worked with raws but I think it could of been easily fixed up to look a lot better with avisynth. The color blurring hid most of the quality issues. Some of the action was a bit too overboard (u'd see it but wouldnt have any idea what you just saw)... I think you would of benefited from less scene switching at times.

The most distinctive feature about it is the atmosphere. You really did a great job setting up a dark themed amv to the song. I wouldn't really call it horror so much but it does have a goth feel to it :up: .

Meh... 4/5 its got some really tight sync but quality, some of the fx usage, and very abrupt scene changes kept it from a 5.

I haven't seen an AMV like this from you before... You joining the darkside? :twisted:
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

Meeeeehhh...it was very okay. The editing was good, and I didn't really mind most of the effects (even the color ones). The biggest problem I have with it is that there's no real concept or story to it, or at least none that I could see. You're good at editing dance-type videos, but I feel almost like you were trying to apply that same style to a drama video, and it doesn't really work. The scenes just seem really random, and even though the video had nice flow and sync, I didn't care. I realize you didn't label this as drama, but personally I felt that's what the video was driving at and either way I couldn't get into it.

3/5

This video isnt a drama, its just random pointless shiny action, so yeah i can see how one could think a lot of the scenes are randomly placed. I was just messing around with soul eater because no one else here seems to be editing with it :\
Thanks for checking it out though :3
