Only the Strongest, a Naruto vid

Once upon a time in the far off land of Gloucester, there lived a young man named Heath Hudnall, or as his fellow creators knew him, twotengoten. He was a jolly young fellow who loved to make AMVs. But though he loved it, alas, he wasn't the best there was.
So one day, twotengoten decided to make a seriously kick-booty Naruto video. He captured his clips, he picked his song, and he thought. And thought. And thought. And finally, he began to edit. And he edited, and he edited, and he edited some more. Then Premiere decided that it hated twotengoten and caused him much pain and anguish. Finally, the finish video was exported. And the peasants rejoiced.
The video was a masterpiece, extremely well made and looked as though God Himself in all His glory ascended upon the earth and made this video through twotengoten. Okay well maybe it isn't that good but its' dang sure to make it to the top listings! Full of pride and joy, twotengoten put a link to his video in the announcment forums for all to see far and wide.
You too can share in the joy and pride of twotengoten's video. Please, download it. And, if you feel so led, leave an opinion. Tell exactly what you think of the latest work of future AMV master twotengoten.

Please enjoy my video, "Only the Strongest." It's a Naruto vid to the song "Blow Me Away" by Breaking Benjamin.

Okay, i just realized that the link goes to my profile, not directly to the video, and that probably dissuades many many downloads. Lemme fix that.

Dude, this video is pretty darn good. Editing isn't my strong point, but you nailed it here. The problem is...the video quality. It's scratchy. I dunno if maybe it was your source footage or some kinda error in compression, but you could have had so much better video quality.
This video is (in the area of editing) one of the best Naruto vids I've seen. Your timng was really good and I love the effects you used. Little over done in some areas, though.

Anyway, good job. I'm leaving you an opinion right now that says some of the same stuff, but goes into a bit more detail.

I should probably mention that this isn't twotengoten, I logged out on a-m-v.org home page and obviously that doens't log me out on the forums. Heath logged in to check the forums on my computer, and this is his friend Jason. This is not twotengoten typing here, and the last message wasn't him either.

This is Jason, under my sn, justxman645. I just wanted to make sure it was cleared up that I, not twotengoten, made the last two posts under twotengoten's name because he signed in on my computer (he's on my hall here at Liberty University) and I thought signing out on the main page signed you out in the forums, and I forgot to check before I posted.

Hope that clears up some confusion.

sorry dude but i really didn't like this amv at all........

it was repeditive and boring. it had no meaning what so ever and dragged on really badly. the sound wasn't too bad but the video quailty was shocking!!! (the fuzzy line in the middle of the enitre amv really annoyed me)

plus u only used about 2 maby 3 episodes of naruto and just played them in chronological order.

it seemed rather pointless.......7/10 here

Well, I don't neccessarily agree on the drug out and boring part, but that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I've gotten some mixed reviews, some people love it, they think it's the greatest video ever, some people think it's the worst and they hate it.

Oh, but you are wrong about one thing, it's about 12 episodes of Naruto, and they are hardly in chronological order...even the specific scenes from the fights are totally out of order.

Thanks for watching anyway. Sorry you didn't like it.

Oh, and the quality...yeah I know it sucks. Once I figure out how to have great quality (i'm trying to be really self-taught at this stuff) I'll start having better quality. At the same time, the source footage (DVDs...oddly enough) were scratchy to begin with. They came out of my capturing program like that. I dunno...maybe a problem with my program or with the DVDs themselves. I'll figure it all out.

Okay...seeing as I've gotten nothing but reviews on how much my video quality sucks (it's not THAT bad...) I'm going to try to up the quality and upload a remastered version. For crying out loud people, it's not that bad and try to focus on the work put into this video. Stop bashing me on my video quality, it was the best I could do and the scratches are from the source footage (which was DVDs, and I can't figure out why there are scratches).

I wouldn't mind if it was just a side comment, but people are just flat out telling me that the video sucked because the quality wasn't as crisp as something like "Toushi" or "Naruto's World." I put a lot of hard work into this video and I think people should appreciate videos for the effort, not the video quality. Some of my favorite videos (and some of the TOP videos on this site) have bad quality.

Best video ever? Nah.

Enjoyable? Yeah.

It's pretty well-edited, though far from perfect. Keep going at it, though.

Oh, and don't let assholes with unhelpful "advice" discourage you. Comments like "you look liked you only used 1 ep" and "this isnt toushi" are better left ignored.

However, you do need to do something about the visual. I'd suggest reading up on AD/ErMaC's guide and leafing through the stuff on AVISynth.

Well, I'll be sure to download it since it will be on the top 10% one day.
