Whoa! My god, I didn't expect this kind of replies :)

I though that:

will be more common way of thinking ;) I noticed it myself, that all these effects I used for making a "corrupted transmission" made my vid less aesthetic. But... that's what I wanted to make :D

Hmm... could you please extend this sentence? :)
I'm never sure if the stories I show are clear enough and it would be great to know what's missing for you :)

JCD, Funky-kun: Heheh, TB you say... I noticed that it became a new trend on the AMV scene ;) Who knows, maybe there will be separate category for this kind of vids soon ;)

Anyway, I'm really glad you like it! :)

Holy sh- wow. I'm having trouble deciding between this video and your last one (because Kit's a jerk). This one is incredibly unique, and has an excellent flow. You capture the mood excellently. The video does drag a bit in the middle, but the ending - oh man, the ending sent chills down my spine. It's drop-dead creepy and brings the video full circle.

This is just pure win, 5/5

I hate it when I can't pick between an AMV and an anime.

Btw, i didn't get the very last scene, why was it there?

Awesome AMV, I loved it... I really liked the editing and the use of the effects... AND the song

I think it's a very important scene. I wanted to show that the guy got the meaning of the message, abandoned everything and went looking for the truth (and for the girl).

Very nice concept, even if people mixed up Pale Cocoon with almost everything now I really enjoyed this. The effects weren't anything extraordinary neither were the cuts but the source and especially the effects combined with the song create an awesome atmosphere. I really like this, even the cheesy texteffects.

Only one major complaint: you should've masked the actually HR footage into the Pale Cocoon consoles like most other editors did it, since the transitions aren't always that visible.

I have only seen Nostromo's "Galaxy Bounce". Is that really so common? Damn... :P

It came to my mind. But:

a) I must admit that I'm lazy. I want things to be done in the easiest and fastest way possible. I hate doing frame-per-frame editing unless it's really necessary. That's why I put HR footage into console only one time at the end (and it was static scene with zoom, so I had to make only one mask).

b) Since the girl in Pale Cocoon looks quite similar to Rakka (especially when we can't see her eyes but only mouth and hair), I decided to leave the original footage.

Maybe there is some easy and fast way to do such things, e.g in AE, but I don't know them at the moment :P

Agreed. At the beginning I was a bit dissapointed that it goes the well known Pale Cocon cliché we already know from many vids.

The effects were fresh and I´m really happy that you seperated or generated the sound yourself to make two different soundcurves at the same time

I have only seen Nostromo's "Galaxy Bounce". Is that really so common? Damn...

YES ^^ I think I have 5 or 6 vids on my harddrive with the same basic concept.

4.75 /5

--> win
