Some transparency, in case people wonder why it takes me so long to finish an opinion, I'll explain my process so far with Destinee's AMV:
I watch the video multiple times in multiple ways, and with various gaps of times between viewing.
For instance, I have now watched this AMV on my LG monitor and my projector, with my Bose speakers. I watched it three times on the LG, and once on the projector. I am currently watching it on my MacBook Pro laptop screen. This allows me to account for differences in viewing experiences across multiple forms of hardware, so I can be sure an issue isn't on my end. Likewise, I will listen to the audio source on my onboard speakers, and though I haven't done it yet, my Sony MDR headphones I use for editing.
Time gaps allow me to compare how I feel about reviewable in comparison to my initial impression. Did I enjoy the video as much as the first time I saw it? Do I enjoy it more? Have I seen something I didn't see before? Is this a one trick pony and unlikely to stay in my collection?
Thus it can take quite a while to complete an opinion, because I want it to be a representation of my overall viewing experience, and not just an off the cuff impression.
