I'm pretty late with my comments,but...

Okay,probably most editors here on the .org know,that I really dislike effects-heavy vids,so I was very strict when watched this one.

At the very start,I noticed 'effectiness' of this vid,so I was prepared for even heavier stuff after that,but was pleasantly surprised by the fact,that vid tends to keep almost the same level of effect-heaviness,and that's where I thought - 'Hey,maybe I'll like this one!'. But after watching first 2 minutes I noticed that video feels almost the same way as the series itslelf (meaning : It's very hard to understand anything),and it kept me close to monitor,because I like confusing stuff.

Song was really something,I've never heard anything like this before (I wonder if it's really a song? o.O) and it just made video more interesting to watch,because I like new(new to me at least) stuff too. Not much lyrics,weird sounds and that strange voice too,sounds really weird(in a good way) and interesting. Really fits to Lain.

Scene choice looks very random,but I must tell very 'Lainish' to that,as series seemed pretty random at first too

Amazing sync made it look really well made,and actually could make you think that series was like that to begin with. And this is what I like about latest effects-heavy vids,since they're really fitting.

Video seems kind of horror,but since I wasn't scared at all,I'll just leave it as is,and won't comment much on this area.

I myself really dislike effects-heavy vids,but tend to check 'em out just because I really want to see the way they were used. Can't tell that I loved this vid,but I really didn't hate it. Probably will watch it sometimes,when I'll feel like watching some confusing stuff (in a good way of course)

3.5/5

P.S. : Who's the girl in the vid? o.O

Thanks!

I didn't think of it as horror . . . at all. Seeing as how everyone else did, I might just be too out of touch with things, but I didn't find it freaky, disturbing, frighting or any of that stuff. I did find it to be a very sad video though, and semi-depressing to watch. . .

But anyhoo, and congrats on the wins!

Thanks TJ! I honestly think your video Smiles should have won best horror, that one just freaked me the hell out (is there any way I could get that, btw?). It's interesting you don't see this as horror, but I love that you don't because it means I made a video that can be seen from multiple perspectives, and that always makes me happy.

Also, we missed you ;_;

4.99/5

Hehe, thanks for the comments!

Excellent work and congrats on the win! Thumbs up

O: Thanks Fizziks!

WC wrote:Friggin awesome vid man. Wasn't as freaky watching it this time around as that first beta a while back, but there were some parts I didn't quite remember. Well-deserved wins As for the credits, post-it notes ftw!

Why does everyone like the credits so much? They suck

Thanks for the comments!

Kiki wrote:I remember the beta for this Wasn't *as* creepy the second time I watched it, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless.

Thanks Kiki! Too bad you couldn't have seen it on the big screen ;_;

</end guilt trip>

For real this time.

Heh, thanks for watching, and glad you liked it!

Turbo wrote:It was pretty creative, but it didn't frighten me at all.

Aww ;_; Thanks for watching!

ScorpionP wrote:(I didn't see any other horror vids from AWA, but this is well worth the spot!).

There were three other horror videos, and I know at least two of those other ones were live action so they can't be hosted here. Thanks for watching and commenting! At least it scared you at some point

Reigna wrote:Really good stuff, Crackerz. Definitely shows your range as an editor, and it was nice seeing both you and the vid getting some recognition at AWA. Very creative concept that was executed very well, which is obvious by all the people freaking out when this was being shown. XD

Love the ending credits too. Hehehehe...

>_> Thought you'd appreciate that. It's nice to hear you say all those things, thanks for commenting!

Otohiko wrote:Oh wow, totally Lain!

A pleasant surprise. Didn't expect you to pull something so downright weird, but it turned out awesome. Don't think there's anything about this that I didn't like!

"Downright weird" is definitely a compliment coming from you

Todd showed a few of your videos at his panel, one of which was Mama, a video I hadn't seen before. Oh man, I could not stop laughing for the life of me

Anyway, thank you very much for the comments!

Kristyrat wrote:Definitely something I didn't expect, which is a good thing, I suppose. Wasn't very 'horror' to me, but totally creepy, without a doubt. It also seems like this video goes a lot deeper than its surface presentation, and while I can't really pinpoint where I get that feeling from, it's definitely something welcome in this kind of AMV.

Excellent job, and congrats on the win.

Thank you! I really wish you could have been at AWA man, we missed you. Make sure to make it to ACen again, mmk?

5/5,excellent job
The org really needs more videos like this one,so innovative.Congratulations on your win.You surely deserved it!!

Thank you! It's nice to hear that you liked it, and I thought it was funny that you really did wait until all the "requirements" were fulfilled before watching it. I appreciate the feedback, thanks much!

Thanks aes! See: my reply to Krat. We all missed you

Yeah, this was definitely something experimental. I played around with the audio especially. Thanks for watching!

Rapture** wrote:Stuff.

Thanks for the awesome feedback! I would hardly call this an "effects-heavy" video, the most I did with effects was to use some film grain and a black-and-white filter; I honestly don't think there's much more than that. Still, I get what you're saying and I'm glad you were still able to enjoy it somewhat. Thanks again!

what is this a horror vid or a dating service

'sky that was really well thought out and put together.
I didn't like the outer glow on the masking where you sister appears in front of the monitor, specifically the glow on her face... also could have used some movement there.
where the picture twirls away and shrinks, I also didn't really like although you did a good job blending the edges.
It wasn't scary at all but came as close to is as any amv I've seen has.
I think you needed some more 'film/static' effects from AE in there.
The feel of this reminds me of 'the ring' the original version that is.
over all though niiiiice 4/5 for not having me totally convinced and in need of slightly better effects, brilliant concept btw and a good change from 'normal' editing
