One of the sickest amv's of 2010 (Colors-BTBAM)

[EkaCoralian]

@Dante: Fine then. I will do my best to watch all of your AMV. Not only do I hate the music but from what I've seen, I'm not liking the choice of clips. Nonetheless, I guess you're correct on the whole opinion of it, but just so you can shut your trap and feel content with someone watching that whole AMV, I will watch it.

I will then state my opinion when I am done. Its just a wonderful feeling, forcing people to watch your AMVs because you're unable to handle the fact that it can't be viewed for a long time by some people.
Wonderful feeling, really.

and dante, I'd just like to let you know that I recieved a warning email from an admin. Thanks a lot, to avoid a second warning I'll just say this : Fix your video, or I'll fix you. I mean that in a positive way even though it doesn't sound like it.

Ok, I have officially watched this AMV fully, from start to finish. Around 65 minutes, holy God.
/bathroom break

Ok. Now I wrote down timings which recieved comments from me (because hell if I was gonna remember all of the timings due to the videos length xD) as well as normal comments on a piece of paper, so here you are.
1. What was up with the random subtitled add-ins? Once with Cher saying "Geez", another with "Whoops" on some clip which I'm not remembering. Probably something breaking. Did you add those in because you wanted to make it funny, or... ?
2. I really appreciated the lyrics shown at the bottom. Otherwise I wouldn't been able to tell what the heck they were saying the entire time.
3. Once I hit the 20 minute mark, my ears stopped (mentally) bleeding. I seriously can't stand screamo, but after that mark, I got used to it. Still didn't like it, but it wasn't as painful.
4. "Sunlight drenched into my skin" - Nice work with the WR clip of Cheza looking into the moon
5. "Colors are fading" was nice with the colors. But not so much the "fading" if you know what I mean. I saw vibrance when I should have seen fades to black and white or something.
6. 5:10 - 5:14: Uneeded and rather random flashes.
7. 13:38: I liked the effect with Ed's eyes.
8. 18:50 - 19:01 - COMPLETELY random.
9. 27:52 - 27:58: I won't lie, this sequence hurt my eyes. Too much stuff was going on and it felt too seizure-rific
10. 9:09: Really wondering why Ed had orange hair during this scene?
11. Some mistyped lyrics. Eg "Fed a simple" should probably be "fed a sample."
12. Reversed overlays at various points of the video looked odd. They were out of place.
13. 27:26 - Nice clip choice and syncing, with Soul on the piano.
14. The "space man" points during the Gundam portion kind of made me giggle, but I guess it was fitting? xD
15. You switched randomly to a bunch of clips from the Soul Eater second OP at some point. You went from the TV series, to the OP. You needed to mix and match your clips more at that point. Put the TV series and the 2nd OP together.
16. I really liked the atmosphere of the Beck part. Besides the fact that no screamo was there, it gave off a nice vibe with the guitar and everything.
17. "Feed me fear (gluttony)" - Fitting'ish to FMA. Nice work
18. "We will be remembered for this" -OHHH YES. This video will most definitely be remembered.

Ok, so all in all, my opinion is this: Still FAR too long, but it was compelling enough in the category of, "I wonder what clip will play next" to keep me watching the whole thing. There were times when I got drowzy while watching it, though. Also, again, a lot of unsynced and uneeded effects. I understand that its screamo and you immediately think that you should go hardcore, but sometimes you don't need all of those effects. And I'll be honest, the one thing I absolutely couldn't stand in the video was your black flashes. There were maybe two sequences tops where they were actually synced. When they weren't, I cringed. I cringed a lot, sorry to say.
On the positive side of things, by the end of it, the viewer does recieve that epic vibe of the AMV when you're going back and mixing all of the previous anime used in the last 10 - 15 minutes. I enjoyed the fact, for the most part, that this was a tribute. And again, this will most certainly be remembered. I believe this is the longest AMV ever created and I'm actually really surprised that you made this within the short timeframe of 2 months! Hell, my last AMV was made in 2 months and it as only 7 minutes. o_o So, I applaud your efforts (ONCE AGAIN, THIRD TIME SAYING IT XD) big time for the will to create and finish this.

But I strongly, STRONGLY urge you to improve. I did not feel satisfied by the end and it was just (again) so very random for the most part. I thank you for providing me with something to do for a little over an hour since its a bit of a quiet night, though. xD
I look forward to another video, and hopefully this helps you build as an editor. Remember, quality is a thousand times better than quantity. Sometimes quantity is nice, but you should focus on quality. =)

ok, thank you both NS and EkaCoralian... i thank you both for your opinions even though they weren't exactly what i was expecting but very good non-the-less... so on a 1-10 scale what do you rate it EkaCoralian

1. I appreciate your long ass text review; i just think its awesome that you took the time to write all this.

2. thanks for watching colors i feel special.

3. to answer some questions you had. 11. Some mistyped lyrics. (Eg "Fed a simple" should probably be "fed a sample."
nah thats the actutal lyrics "Fed a simple, replication of past greatness." (18:50 - 19:01 - COMPLETELY random.) lol Agreed but thats what happens when you listen to BTBAM.

4. (switched randomly to a bunch of clips from the Soul Eater second OP)

And yea i switch to the opening scenes just because at the point i was moving to the second half of the song and the second half of the anime, and i thought it was a good way to foreshadow the piano build up., and most viewer that would watch wouldn't notice the difference.

5. (Once with Cher saying "Geez", another with "Whoops")

And yea, when i threw in "Geez" it was giving the character some dialog and matching with the lyrics "Relaxations steps to bringing me a peaceful life" and she looked stressed out lol. And as far as the *whoops* In the lyrics he says "Unexpected" and the gundam guy got shot in half.....so yes it was to be funny

Kinda like in FMA i was like " XD " and it matched the lyric.
But i have a question for u. what was your favorite video?

[Megamom]

I made an AMV of three minutes in eight months. (Toxico)



Man... I not like AMVs long... here until the 4th minute and is enough for me!

Good effort dantetheonly!

[EkaCoralian]

@dante: Well I don't really love to give ratings to videos all of the time, and I'm afraid that if I did give this a rating, it'd be kind low (sorry, but its just my opinion.) Maybe at least 2.5/10 since you created an AMV consisting of 65 minutes. xD; (Please don;t take any offense to that as it is an opinion. D:)
My favorite AMV of the bunch? Well the one that held the most interest to me was probably the Death Note one, since it seemed (to me) the one that fit with the song the best out of the other 7. I also didn't mind the Naruto one (even though I dislike Naruto. Strange), so... yeah. ^^;;

[SilkAMV]

Hmm. I will op this.

EDIT: I watched the whole thing and have left an opinion.

[AceD]

Meh, respect to anyone who watched all of that, i couldn't go past around 5 minutes..kudos for attempting something so long, but as a viewer of AMV's i just look for something entertaining to watch, that was probably one of the least enjoyable AMV's ive tryed to watch for a while...Try investing that 4months in a more normal amv next time (3minutes or so), your bound to make something far better and worth watching.

[nommay]

uuuuuuuughhhhhhh...one of the sickest amv's of 2010? It made me a little bit sick, but I'm not sure if that's how you meant it
I can't believe I sat through 15 minutes of that.

lotsa stuff

YESYESYESYES this sums up my feelings 100%
Seriously, stick to shorter AMVs. You've heard it 100000000000000000 times in one thread, just say "ok" and move on
