Putting aside any inherit bias I may have, I really do love this video. It's sweet, sentimental, romantic, uplifting, and endearing. The editing itself is also well done in terms of how it's structured. You could've easily just taken the source and thrown it around haphazardly, but you stuck to a very specific structure that helped keep the whole thing much more coherent and "legible" (in video terms). Very well done babe :) *smooch*

Yay for this video. I've said it before and I'll say it again: You are my favourite editor, hands down. This is by far my favourite video of yours so far. I'm really glad you were able to get it just the way you wanted it, and I'm glad I was able to help out.

Yay for a Liz video!

Op to come. In Brad's pants.

Edit:
Oh that was really nice, good mix of the scenes and animes, so not really a problem. First i thought "Will be this video to long for me?", because of the slow song. But i didnt realized that the video was so long. great work i enjoyed it. 5/5

This video brightened my blood-pumping organ.

Good job.

:up:

Edit: You're video description seems a bit bitter. Why so serious? |:

Edit 2: Brad, you put in random 'desintation' studios on the credits. I bet that's gonna bug you. bugbugbug

I don't have much time to write something because the year is going to change soon, but I want to. Others will tell you what's so great about it, I will mainly tell you why I give only 4/5 ;-)

I loved the scene selection concept of light, fluffy and moving scenes with snow, stars or glitter in them. But I think this should have had more consistency, because this movement you brought into the AMV with these highly dynamic keyframe-rich scenes was broken by many static scenes without a cute girl either that did not add to the mood or the movement. I would also wished for a song where a little more beatsync or inner sync would have been possible. Where the movement keeps up. Hey, I did not say it's bad, I think it's fantastic!

Yet a big :up: :up: :up: :up: :up: :up: :up: :up: :up: :up: :mrgreen: sorry my critic is always honest.

I didn't want to get it because it had both ef and 5 cm in it but i like your vids so i'll give it a shot.

Edit: Well im assuming you only used 5 cm and the ef promo at the beginning with the scenery cause i didnt see it anywhere else in the vid, which is a good thing for me haha. Lots of anime ive seen in various vids before, but still you did a good job. I just wish ef wasn't in it cause it makes every other anime used look weird for some reason, but thats just personal taste so i wont hold it against you.

4/5 :up:
