My first release worthy vid...

CoolMatty · Post by **CoolMatty** » Mon Feb 17, 2003 12:01 pm

At least, I hope its release worthy. It's for .hack//SIGN
It helps if you have watched the show, since the video isn't much of anything unless you know the story.

This vid is basically a beta. Its high-res, but pretty low filesize, compared to most videos. (3:45, 640x368 (WideScreen!), Divx 3.11Alpha, MP3 Audio codec, and only 28.4 MB)

Info is as follows:
Anime: .hack//SIGN
Song: .hack//SIGN OST 1 - Track 4 - Key of the Twilight
Software used: Adobe Premiere 6.5, VirtualDub.

Please give me any comments or suggestions on how I can improve the video. (More clips, I don't understand this clip/lyric, etc.)

Here's the link. (Max bandwith of 45 kb/s sorry bout that.) ftp://24.166.251.36/tryit2.avi

Here are some things I already plan on touching up:
Anti-aliasing some clips where the slow-motion goofed up the clip (the line stuttering, most noticeable in the first 30 seconds)
A couple bad entry points at the end (One showing a subtitle, and another where Tsukasa (real-life) shows for a split second)

And please, be honest and be hard on it. I plan on making this good. I also hope that it'll be remembered as one of the highest quality vids out there, thanks to my friend's dvds.

Oh, I forgot to mention, yes there is another song mixed in there at a point.

It's for dramatic effect. The song is also from the OST, its Aura, more specifically, the second repetition of the lyrics. You'll notice it when you hear it.

Any constructive comments and I'll review someone's video. I forgot to mention that.

I've downloaded it, and I wanted to review it..... but you haven't registered the vid yet on the database for opinions!! Get to it boy, and I'll happily give you my opinion.

Well, I was going to have people just put their suggestions here, but anyway, I put it up:

Reviewed, I'd like a review of my 2nd AMV Lovesick Signs beta video in return.

When judging the video quality, take into account it is a direction conversion from a .WMV video and is the exact same quality as if it was under 20 MB.

I'm working on a review for yours now. Thanks alot. (That 2nd song was just something I wanted to try. I'll take it out in the next version.)

Review done. Sorry it wasn't longer, but I'm not one for blabbering.
