So is there a "most videos in a year" award that sKys' trying to get here?

Favorite parts:

2:05 - 2:15
The build up here is combining both the emotion of the song and the prevalent doom of the visuals. The climax hits hard with both gunfire and song climax, delivering a powerful experience for the audience, as if they are witnessing the scene itself.

2:37
The climax is still going and gunfire is spread like fireworks. Your immediate cut to black before the chain rifle fires not only fits the song but manipulates the audience well too. This choice really surprised me.

2:50
Self-explanatory. Not only is it cool looking, but it gives us a new perspective of the scene for us who've already seen the movie.

Cons:

Didn't really know what the vid was about.

3:48 - end
Didn't feel like it resolved the video. Felt more like a filler to use the actual ending to the movie. (Although I can see a little bit of mirror between the two characters in this scene and in the beginning, but that's in the movie also.)

Didn't like the beginning either, a little bit rough in terms of who's who and what's going on.

All n' all,
good job Crackerz. 3/5 because it didn't really stand out.
Practice more speed editing and maybe you'll be a master IC.

Video rather interesting, but I didn't like very much it sorry.
I hoped better from you, editing is perhaps too simple for me, and I'm disappointed by the visual quality (not bad but far from perfect).

I'm disappointed, but for a video created in one day, it's a nice work.

3/5

It's hard to believe it only took you one day to make this vid.

I enjoyed this video. You did a great job maintaining the dark/dramatic atmosphere throughout the video. Good work!

I'm not sure if it was the song or if it was the fact that the first 1/3 of the vid was slow but to be brutally honest it bored the crap out of me. I've seen you do better work. But thats just this rookies opinion. I'll give you an A for effort though.

... you... you watched the whole thing, right? I mean, you've gotta be one cold hard sonuvabitch to not have that "holy crap" neuron fire towards the end when the shit hits the fan.

Very cool video indeed.

Loved it, but you've done better work.

Sorry you were sick, hope you get better!

Well, the song fit the Jin-Roh mood, but it was too long unfortunately. It must have been hard to make this knowing there weren't too many action scenes. I honestly thought the intro (for an amv) was boring, but it did follow the story pretty well. The movie had it's slow moments too but overall I REALLY like Jin-Roh. In fact if I ever cosplayed ... ever, I would choose to be an awesome Wolf Brigade soldier. I really enjoyed the ending because it had that "shit-hit-the-fan" type of energy to it. The quality wasn't perfect, but I know the source probably wasn't the best stuff to work with. Good job on the ending of this!

3.5/5
