[Japan Expo 2012] Resonate

[AimoAio]

Made this for Japan Expo's AMV contest and got 14th place in the final rankings so I'm pretty happy. I saw this series a few weeks earlier and really loved it but it made me sad to see only 17 videos in the catalogue that included this source (4 videos if you exclude multianime and MEPs) so I decided to go ahead and make my own.

It's been so long since I edited a sentimental video I almost forgot how to edit one. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy it and maybe check out the source if you like it. Manga or anime, either way is good. The setting and plot of this is one of the most unique I've seen.

As I've already said on youtube

This is amazing, May
It's editted without any really visible effects. It all feels so natural.
By far the most beautiful amv with Tegami Bachi I've seen so far.

Congrats on your 14th place, you deserve it if not better

I'll follow ibabrak's lead and copy my YT comment

Lovely mood and serene pacing. The effects used complement the atmosphere wonderfully. Things like the mask transition at 1:04 really sell the sense of isolation or loss that you're trying to convey. Overall, great job!

You know May..i love it , as i told you maybe at sometimes is a little ¨fast¨ (you know what i mean xD..upbeat editors ) but i really can feel the sentiments of the characters,and that's the most important. Nice job!

Congratulation Pan--- I mean Secretary :'D I haven't seen much of this show being used in videos ever since it released D: I haven't seen the show myself, but I got interested after seeing this, fitting atmosphere and theme, I'm still uncertain about the 3D windows being a vital part of the plot, it could've been done without them, but they're a nice addition at some parts of the video.

Good job *goes back finishing that poster* D:

;____; Still dislike the 3D Style parts, but i really love the video as a whole. Great job Pancake. *o*

I loved it
I think you would have deserved a little more at JE (but this is only my opinion) I was very impressed by the sad atmosphere , it was you very good at selecting scenes.
The only thing I did not like were the borders to the rest is a very good job

I quote Kyroz.
It made me want to watch the anime, so it's good .

argh, you should really keep me better informed about your new amvs

Buuut... I don't really think this is among your best work. I did like the fact that the pacing kept up with the intensity of the song towards the end but on the other hand the beginning was too dynamic (before the drums kick in). I also didn't really get what you were trying to do with the narrative. It seemed like a random endless collection of clips of some white haired dudes

It was alright but definitely not my favorite of your amvs.
