Hey guy, that's a pretty encouraging beta! Obviously, works remains to be done, but I like some of the ideas in it alot. I assume you're gonna fix alot of stuff, so I'll just mention the most important nitpicks I have :

-The editing is pretty strong in the first half, but that enlarging circle transition really doesn't look good. Maybe feather it? Even when you do, I'm not sure if it'll work.

-Quality of the lip-sync aside, the clip you chose to lip-sync really isn't great. This is a major moment in the video, and you need a clip that's alot more atmospheric. Heck, an extreme close-up would be nice. And this is purely personal here, but a mask of the face then set on a shadowed black backround would be cool. And also, repeating the exact same lip-sync clip 3 times, I don't like at all. You can use the same angle, but wouldn't it be alot cooler if the position of the face (assuming you pick a close-up, otherwise it's the body) was different every time?

-The final scene of the rescuing's mood isn't exactly upbeat or anything.

Otherwise, good going, man! Here are Fred's boobs.

Overall: Looks ok.

~00:03
The wild mix fits. Now it´s a grey whatever. I don´t know if it so because of the bad .wmv (but thx because it´s small!) but I guess it would look fine with some colours in it or stronger colours. Give it a try

~00:06
The circle needs feathured edges

00:07
Nice. If you ask me I would make some colour stuff with this overlay too (is this just a clip or more layers?).

~00:08
Don´t miss those two beats.

The "ARGH" scenes:
Meh... Could be better. I don´t think that they fit except the last one.

~00:16
Feathured edges for the small clips please and I think that the zooms are too aggressive and too disturbing. Have you tried something else?

00:18
Awesome

Well in generall I´m pleased with the rest of the scenes. Let´s ask Ben if they are alright and if they could fit. All in all they´re not happy, but they´re ok.

Otherwise, good going, man! Here are Fred's boobs.

Wohoo!

*grabs them and rans away*
Mhmm... They smell like Japan *g*

Maybe the eye could change color? From red to blue for example.

Yeah ARGH scenes could be better.

Otherwise i think that Greg and Bauzi covered it, good beta Guy, keep it up!

I like the red eye. It´s a bit magic, but there is something around the eye. You can´t really tell because of the visual quality.

What? Yes you can. Just make a mask close to the edge of each scene and feather the mask.

The beta's pretty good... pertaining to the scene with all the boxes flying in, there needs to be more boxes - a LOT more. Make lots more layers and space the appearance of each successive box closer together on the timeline. Fit in as many as you can. Also, I noticed on some of the boxes there were black lines along the left and/or right side - mask that out please.

Also, at the beginning, the appearance of the Earth looks weird...it doesn't seem to be timed up with the music at all, and it looks kinda choppy.

Overall very nice pacing, and once you fix up some things it should look pretty cool.

I should really get started on mine...

I was trying to use the boarder effect on the transition when i should of been using the border effect. Thanks crack, i'm interested to see what you can do, you've gotten a lot better since the last one.
