EDIT: Fucking awesome. My only complaint would be some of the green/purple scanlines in the beginning, which I thought were prett much unneeded, for the rest it's very cool, good job! :up:
Thankies.

You'd be a fool to vote otherwise.
Falconone wrote:great video, but sometimes i thought the video quality was not the best. But it was nice, randrom but nice
It's true. It's an issue with using Australian anime dvds, the encodes either have un-removable interlacing or just lower quality in general.

Great job prodigi! (And brad, that outro was friggin win)
Cool.

Pwolf wrote:I didn't like it that much. It was kind of disorientating and hard to follow. which could be because i'm feeling sick. Might have to rewatch it when i'm not already feeling disorientated, lol.
I could understand how you wouldn't like it for that reason, but that was actually the effect I was going for >.>
Watch the official music video to get what I mean.
Kristyrat wrote:Cool, nifty and smooth. However, it's something we've seen so many times before, and I think you could have tried to spice it up a little to give us something new. Some of the editing felt a little slow, or plodding, but for the most part it was right on.

I would have loved it if you'd pursued the scene relationships at about 1:50, where you've got the dude tossing something (keys?) and then Jue catches her sword. The link between the two clips was reaaaally cool, and I think you could have done some fucking slick stuff if you'd tried to do that more elsewhere in the video. Just a thought, would have spiced it up a little more for me. But either way, well done. :up:

[Kristyrat]
Yeah I thought about that but by the time I got to that point I'd laid down almost everything and liked it how it was so *shrug*
ArashinomeAMV wrote:I absolutely fucking LOVED the editing, but I think the effect choices really drug the video down for me. The color scheme over the whole thing and the TV simulator type effects just felt bland and gaudy.

Editing - 5/5
Video as a whole - 2.5/5
So 5/5 for me, 2.5/5 for Brad? LIFT YOUR GAME BARD.

kept me watching it without stopping :D

and that really was an awesome Outro :shock:
Thankies.
Nya-chan Production wrote:I would like to ask which parts were used, since there are parts of AM which I don't like much ^^;;
Mainly the one with that guy doing that thing, the other one with that kid doing that other thing, and then some clips about the one covering that subject.
Niotex wrote:Its sad when I can tell exactly which external motion blur you used.. Overall a smooth and slick video but as stated before it seems more of the same. And while there are some subtle things that are completely new to you. And some of which are relatively new to us in general. None of it seems to have jumped out and grabbed me.

Still solid but nothing batshit insane.
Shush. Do not reveal the motion blur >.>
OropherZero wrote:editting was really good, so nice job on scene selections and placement :up: However I really didn't like it, just a personal thing since I neither like The Animatrix nor high amounts of external synch and rapid cuts (there were about 3 very clever internal synch moments tho), I can definitely see the editting merits =P
I disagree.
ZetZu wrote:Really liked this. Tight, funky, solid.
Good job :up:
Bananas.

What else?
Very good job! :up:
That's not a pineapple =(
Darklydone wrote:Great stuff. As random as it was I saw alot of connected scenes that were very well done. Clips taken from one part of the animatrix film but ended with a clip from another part of the film. 01:50 as an example, one of many of these scenes I really enjoyed. :up: :up:
Coolies.
Senka_fr wrote:That was a good amv even if I find that animatrix amv are all very similar...

Oh and I like the tv-simulator effect :) and good job to Brad for the credits.

8/10 :up:
Brad did do good with the credits.
Zenkia wrote::sweat: I thought it was oki...nothing special except Brads awsome intro and outro =]. But overall great job!

Michael188PL wrote:well it was edited pretty well :up: but it didn't work on me feels like watching the same thing...and this tv-stimulator/scanline/whatever it's called ;P annoyed me like hell :(, still pretty decent job.
Above decent. Obviously you're one Prod-hater.
MycathatesyouAMV wrote:Not digging the tv like effects and some of the feathering. Some of the editing was pretty good but the scenes felt way more random than they needed to be.
I wanted it to be as random as possible. I even considered removing the running man and skateboard segments and re-editing them with random scenes.
Pas wrote:Pretty nice, it takes pretty impressive editing for me to actually sit though, and even more enjoy a vid that uses animatrix for the source footage. That being said, there were some parts of the video which either just dragged out or didn't seem to fit, either with the song or the preceding scenes. 00:47-01:05 was personally my favorite part of it, along with the part where you matched the object being tossed from one scene to another. Very tight and smooth sync, the flow is nice too but sometimes doesn't work so well.

I like it a lot, and while I may have some issues with it, overall it's pretty awesome :up:

Oh, and very cool intro/outro brad, I gotta learn how to do that sometime O:
Cool.

Thanks.
Kitsuner wrote:The editing was pretty slick, and I particularly enjoyed the bits where you took a handful of similar clips from different segments and smashed 'em all together, like the running and beating of the women about a minute and a half in. On the other hand, most instrumentals are hard for me to pay attention to (though I was hungry while I was watching it, so that definitely helped the distraction), so I sort of drifted in and out. I liked what I was seeing, but I just couldn't keep watching the same cool thing over and over.

I'll watch it again later when I've eaten something, but like a lot of the other people have said, there wasn't anything new to really catch my eye.
Yeaaah, I liked editing those bits =w=

I dug the beginning a lot. :amv:
It's the only good AMV using Justice. Osnap?
Infinity Squared wrote:Tight.
I won't even touch that statement.
Funky-kun wrote:Yup, tight is the correct word to describe it. Sync was very good (both internal and external), but the video as a whole felt too random for me.

4/5 :up:
Once again, I steer clear of that statement.

I beg to differ.
Anyways, I liked you vid, even though Animatrix is a bit overused by now. :up:
