A humble request for feedback

DJ Pirtu · Post by **DJ Pirtu** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 1:20 pm

I am not sure if this is entirely in the right section. I ain't too good a commenting, so it's not in the trades. Nor are these videos actualy "new", so I guess announcements are out. But I guess the thread can always be moved shold there have been some place...

Anyways!
Lately, after a crushing half a year of studying, studying and studying a bit more, I finaly find myself with a bit more spare time in my hands and I have been thinking about starting another AMV project.

Now, I got ideas, the sources, time, tools and even some skills. However, what I would realy appriciate at this point, would be some constructive input on my latest videos. Be that good or bad. Anything that would help me get better.

Thus far my two latest videos have receved absolutely no opinnions so far, so I would like to point out them as the primary targets. First of, because I have no outside feedback on them and secodly because they are the best indicators of my current skills.

So, without further ado:

Hounds of Hell
Anime: Fullmetal Alchemist
Song: Rammstein - Benzin
Short desc.: Quite a violent video that has a hint of story in it. Makes no attempt to follow the actual story of the anime and concentrates mostly on characters like Scar, Major Strongarm and Kimblee/Kimburi. No Ed or Al in this one.
Spoilers: Minor ones. You may learn a few details of a few charactes, but nothing that should ruin the whole story for you.

Little Miracles
Anime: Vampire Hunter D - Bloodlust
Song: Leonard Cohen - Waiting for the Miracle
Short desc.: Another video that attempts to mix up the story of the original. A bit slow and somewhat serious. And long. The song lasts for over 7 minutes.
Spoilers: Moderate ones. I try to mix things up, a few of the surprises may be ruined.

Additional opinnions of my other videos are also appriciated. You may fing the through my profile at: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... _id=246175

Yes, I tought of that, but usualy when it come to giving out Opinions... I fail. I just can't get them done. Thus, I would rather not promice something that I may not be able to deliver. And that's pretty much what I ment when I said "I ain't too good a commenting, so it's not in the trades."

dodn't matter, screw em! You should never expect anything back I say.

^^ lol don't listen too me ;p

I'll check out (op) one of your vids, if you seem to have a clue than I'll do the other. Otherwise I'll just give you criticism and move on ~.~

eeh, i dont really like the "give me ops cause i need them, but i suck at giving them in return, so i aint gonna" attitude O.o

if you really wanted to, you could offer an op exchange stating that your opinions are not detailed but rather personal reactions, and give back ATLEAST short opinions that state "some good stuff, some bad stuff, and some general stuff" (like a sentence or two in each box)

they arent THAT hard to write :/

plus it will weed out the people looking for long detailed ops.

Thank you. Even that little is apriciated.
And even criticism is OK. I'm not doing this just to hear how awsome I am. Honestly. I'm doing this to hear both what I have done right AND what I have done wrong.

Honestly, I would feel worse about asking for a detailed and constructive Opinions as a trade and not writing such back, than I do with basicly begging for "free" Opinions of the same sort.

But, we'll see. I'll wait and see how this goes and if I get too little or no results, I guess I could give your suggestion a try.

you could also hit up the "free ops" threads O.o
though the ones running right now arent going to give you "detailed" ops

Thanks, but no thanks. Even tough I said "even criticism is OK", an Opinion like 'god are you stupid' is not quite what I would see as helpful
