[BC 2013] Into The Labyrinth

[lolligerjoj]

This is my entry for Big Contest 2013. It was originally planned for Akross, but I failed the deadline terribly. So here I am.
I tried to make something with a true framerate of 60 FPS. Turned out it was a pretty ambitious goal.
But enough of me, tell me what you think

[TritioAFB]

It's ok man, even for the BC I consider this one special

The fact that I liked from the video was the 60fps part. Although in the second part of the video, it suddenly falls in intensity, it gets back to normal after a certain part. Like I said in the past, it seems you knew what you wanted to do with the video so good job man

I must tell you the truth, this amv I'm looking at me yesterday because I know you do not say if I like it or not, at some points I thought, "That's cool" while others said "What am I looking"
One thing that you could avoid, in my opinion, and put all that twitch (after a bit out of place), the internal synch I loved it especially at the end.
As it is a good idea, especially different from the usual on this series.
I will continue to look for the good, maybe will be part of those types of amv that at first sight I don't like then after a while they begin to appreciate

You definitely could have shrunk this in length to a good 2-3 solid minutes instead of 5 minutes with parts that were lacking a lot. You'd have some cool beat sync that had a ton of impact then other parts, like 4:20 and 4:27, were just kinda....weak. The whole twitch deal was really unnecessary too, that ruined the video a lot for me. Then in the second half you added this really pixel-y effect which is hard to pull off because you can make it look like your video quality went to shit (which it looked like it did), and the TV lines too. You stacked effect over effect and it didn't mesh well at all. I've never seen any of your vids before this so I'll just assume that you were experimenting with lots of different stuff, but overall you could have stuck with just your color corrections, your shakes, and your cool-looking Twixtor plug-in and it would have been great. It's really a cool vid at its core, but a few things just needed to go.

And again, the Twixtor thing is DOPE. o__o I never knew a thing like that existed. Totally gonna find that tonight and try it out!

Praise and critique taken and appreciated (:

I've never seen any of your vids before

It's actually my first AMV

Prepare yourself for a lot of artifacts with Twixtor. Takes a lot of time and only works the way I used it when you remove the duplicate frames in the animation

Considering this is your first AMV, it's not without shortfalls but its an outstanding effort and one of the best first-timer AMVs i've seen.

[Dn@]

Best use of 60fps i've seen, apart from that not my style of clip but as a first amv it's really good.
Gl on BC'

[Shiver]

A candidate for best first amv for the next VCAs
I agree with the comments above, maybe too much rgb twitch and effects in general, without them it would have been much better.
Also, I dunno how to use the twixtor plugin so I'm asking: when you used it in some parts the clip became kinda "liquid"...can you fix it? or you cannot do anything about it? cause it's a bit distracting for me
Anyway, great synch, mood and flow so ...a very enjoyable amv!

No way.

Also, my eyes hurt.

But I liked it

[lolligerjoj]

That means that the plugin had a hard time figuring out what happens between two frames. It happens especially when characters move really fast (turning charakters are a nightmare). It is fixable in some cases, but it is really time-consuming. It is necessary to mask out every moving object seperately. I did it in many shots, but I couldn't do everything. Isn't exactly fun, you know Maybe I'll spend more time with it next time, I'll see...
