I honestly thought both of these sucked Butt

Nev's just didn't connect any bit with the song and the pacing was a fatal failure, the song's Much faster and powerful than a) the scenes and b) the editing made me feel.
On top of that you could just replace this beta with any audio and it'd feel the same

Cool man!'s was better than nev's, but still pretty low. The Important Impacts of the song were ignored and in general, it just felt boring, it stayed exactly the same over the whole track without any kind of highlight.

And the Quallity on both betas sucked. I recall these are betas, but it's clearly to see that even a High Quality encode of those would look like crap compared to what's possible with these sources.


2 Big Fat 's ,Sorry guys.

I must say i like my second part(00:34-00:47) allot more then i do on the first part, just wanted to try two different types of sync..
And as you say, lyric wise it maybe not is the best footage for the song thats true!
But music wise its fast paced and i think samurai is pretty sweet for it!
And no, my samurai champloo is R1 dvd's, so im not sure wheres your standards for quality is! I saved it as a high quantisizer with xvid, 4 or something like that

[cool man!]

hmm..... guess you are right that it is too repetitive..... by the way, what do you mean by important impact of songs? The lyrics? or some strong beats? Maybe I can fix it if it's mentioned clearly.....

And of course the quality is low, it's just a low quality beta.

[Scott Green]

cool man!: Well you butchered the quality quit a bit, but it's only a beta. Well my expirience and my feelings told me by looking at color saturation that your source is probably not DVD Well Quality aside. You didn't catch the feelings of the song anyhow. Seriously it really looks like a rushed job just to get the spot in the mep. Well your scene choice is if I can say that like that now: horrible actually. You had movement when it wasn't needed and kinda still frames when it needed movements. And seriously you just ignored the drums most of the time which is bad. I mean i dont need heavy drum sync or something, but ignoring everything is also not good. So this one is a no, unless you can really catch the feel of the song and that would need a total rework of the track. And next time try to send me a decent quality one. And uncompressed audio makes me also believe you have no clue to compress. A good thing was that the anime fits the song

Neverend: ugh first part was a big NO! No movement just cross dissolve, blegh. Really idk know if Samurai Champloo would fit the song anyhow (Yes I saw SC and i liked it). Well anyway next was a whole lot of black >_>. I don't really like the next part! I saw cuts, a mask, and black flashes. But nothing really catched the emotion of the song well. Seemed also just like a rushed job. Also a no go for this one.

So yeah, I'm not trying to offend anyone here, I'm just setting my expectations for this mep high. So well you are free to send another beta for the track other people also! Good Luck.

Kevin: 00:11 please get rid of the LipFlap here. 00:16 hmm this bright effect looks kinda weird and there is a short time nothing on screen here, kinda starnge. Same as before the bright thingy at 00:28. 00:06; 00:36 Get rid of the ugly frame-blending on these two spots >_> Other than that it is a go from me, well I like your Karas part more atm and I would have loved to see you use Burst Angel but well it can't be changed....

[Neverend]

Its okey scott, i understand! i made it mostly cus of boredom, i spent like 40 min on the beta!
As i saw you had 1 spot open for a long time, thought u wanted to finnish this fast!

But gl with the mep, it will turn out awesome
