and my idea of a bad amv would be this...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjxY3TtM ... Y2c-Yw1bzU another example of a bad amv would be kickass's FLCL summertime magic vid...(no offense)

Timing, Clean cuts, and the mood of your clips are everything. and yea sometimes random clips help....as filler of course lol

I'm sure that from your perspective that video is way worse than yours. But in reality yours isn't much better. Lets say an amv is like a lego creation, with the clips being blocks. It's a bunch of little blocks put together to make something greater than they were individually. Lets take those same exact blocks and just throw them all in a bucket. They're still the same blocks but they are now just blocks. Maybe some of them are cooler than the rest (those so-called "awesome" edits of yours) but they still aren't being used for anything. Your editing is like that. Just a bucket of legos.

Those "awesome" parts of your video? the fact that you singled them out is proof enough of your inexperience. Editing should not be a parade of cool edits that have nothing to do with each other. Once again my video game analogy will aide me.

Take a fighting game. An experienced player does not view each attack his character can do on it's own. He groups them into combos. Each attack will lead naturally into another attack and then another. An inexperienced player will just find the flashiest moves he can and use them on their own. That's pretty much what you're doing in this video.

I know I'm just saying the same thing a different way but I will keep doing so until you get it.

I think that its about time that this thread died. Everything that can be said, has been said. Everyone that would be willing to say it, has said it. This thread already has 82 post.......it really doesn't need any more.

And on a side note, its a bit ironic that this thread has so many post. I don't think that any of my AMV announcement threads ever got more than 10 :lol: Even "Property of a lady" (winner of the 2010 Viewer Choice Awards: Video of the year) only had 87 posts http://www.animemusicvideos.org/forum/v ... =3&t=96093

Anyhow, as for the video, I didn't watch all of it (but I love the music) but from what I saw, it was okay. I liked the overlapping dialogue in the beginning. I thought it fit, except the background noise from the anime clips wasn't good :( Soul Eater is cool and all, but I don't think it fit well with the other anime. Some of the clip choice was really nice, but most of the time it felt random-- I just don't think it was executed as well as it could have been. Wasn't a fan of most of the effects either. It didn't hold the same intensity as the songs. Nice effort though. I like the dedication. :up:[/quote]

lol give you a dollar if you watch the rest :D and i promise i did white walls more then enough justice... shit just watch that if you don't believe me.

no you fucking didn't. Stop. This is not a good video...It just isn't. You didn't no song in the batch justice. Stop saying this, take what you've.... "learned" (even though it seems like you haven't learned shit) and make another. Like, this is so frustrating. I'm sure it must to realize that you created an Hour long video and it's fucking terrible, but count your loses and move on.

1. You are right, and it IS an opinion.
2. I'm happy you like your own work, I really am, That's what this hobby is about, but take our advice to make yer work better if you really care about it.
3. "Because I know good when I see it" "good" is an opinion, so you never really KNOW good.
4. If you get a scholarship with THAT then I am In the wrong fucking industry AND should be able to get a fucking Full ride.

Scholarship? I wouldn't count on it. Unless the animation companies and the record label teamed up to form a scholarship program specifically for making a video with these sources, I sincerely doubt you could get a scholarship for making this video. Not that contests like that don't happen ( http://www.animemusicvideos.org/forum/v ... =5&t=85847 ) but they don't generally give you money for using what belongs to them (exceptions made for those who work for them :P). Usually you just get "You won! We will use this, thanks for a free promo." or a free DVD, CD, etc.

I know a "good" thread when I see one :ying: .

Seriously though, I'm surprised NS has put up with you for so long. I'd of /ragequit by now (thats of course if I cared enough to try to convince you which I don't).

This is bad. Subs, quality, length, editing, size... (I didn't get very far at all so my judgements are based off the first minute or so though I doubt it changes any throughout) so many problems. If you don't plan to take into account what other people say then all I can say worth anything to you is "good" luck in your future amv endeavors.

1/5

Watch some amvs by the people that didn't like yours, maybe you will will understand their comments more, or just go cruising looking for amvs that have "gooder" ratings.
"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

if you think that's a good video, tell me.

Your answer will determine whether I will ever accept you as a person. I'm not saying this video is good or bad, I'm just asking if that fits your definition of a bad video or if it fits your definition of a good video.
sorry i left only half a comment, but let me finish.

yea i thought this was pretty boring, there were some interesting parts but for the most part it was dull and because i know the show it looked like it was barley edited...2 stars but i'll check out some other amv's by u later and tell you what i think.
I think it's a 1/5, but since you didn't give it a 3 I will not censor all your posts, and will instead use your posts to reflect on the way I acted when I was 15, if you want to know go here : http://www.fanfiction.net/u/869959/
