Hehe,you finally uploaded it.

I really liked your internal synch a lot but at 2 points the amv felt a bit slow and I think that some overlays or other type of effects would really help a bit.What's more,like other people mentioned,I think that 2 of the anime you used seemed a bit overfiltered while another one had really bad quality.
However,I like how you let the flow of the amv decide the editing and not the song.I'll leave an opinion later commenting on everything.Very good video,keep it up!! :D

4/5 - the quality issues and these 2 slow points took from you the 5/5

Meteor Dragon wrote::Edit: Was going to edit yesterday >.< got trapped in shana land...any ways most of the sync won me over (like how you went about with it, mostly internal). The quality eh you know by now. There was one scene that I felt really didn't fit (1:50) but thoughts don't matter. It was a nice watch but it "felt" too long for me but it was only 2:43. gj
I'm glad you liked the sync :)

edit: it was okay, using the ZnT2 OP song was a bit awkward and a lot of feels overfiltered (why can't people just leave raws alone? 3.5/5 not bad.
Yes, quality wasn't very good for this one, thanks for watching =)

Anyway, I liked the vid, nice music, seemed to fit what you were doing (didn't read the lyrics in the vid info yet ). Synch-wise I thought it was ok, but I think it needed more. one of the sources looked very overfiltered, and other one looked funny (the one with the ugly looking borders in the characters). Other than that I think this was enjoyable to watch, but it needed MOAR SWORDS!!! O:

(sword fetish ftw! )

3.5/5, will round it to 4
nice job SF
MOAR swords =O. I'll keep what you said in mind in the qc, i wont leave you out next time ;)
Emong wrote:Ooh, new stuff from you It wasn't really what I had expected.. Or maybe it was. Sort of similar to your earlier works.

The whole video had a nice sense of internal sync but I'm afraid it looked more like the song was too much for the video to handle. You're hitting beats. Cool. But what beats? It really needed something tighter to achieve some quality internal sync whoring. Maybe you could have done some external stuff or just plain cuts on beats?.. Anyways, nice sync but not quite Sky Reflector.

It had its energy and the mood was appropriate. I actually kinda liked the concept as well, even though there wasn't more to it than that. Nice job

3.5/5
Thanks for checking it out, your comments are always nice and detailed =). The main purpose was to play with sync, but maybe i went a little overboard when I decided to make it into a video.

I considered masking, but due to other issues here and there I ended up not doing it. thanks for watching :)

could have been alot better. quality was also shit-tastic
Bauzi wrote:seconded

..., but the internal sync didn´t got me most of the time. Quality was... why do you use it if it disturbs so much? Seriously this blocky black lines, because of the cropped out subs where just at the wrong place.

3.25/5
Yup, I know the quality wasn't that great. Thanks for watching though =)

Hmmm...

It was hit-and-miss at sections with me. At some points the audio and anime flowed nicely, whereas at other times it seemed like just colors/fighting and jpop with no solid rhythmic connection; kinda like it was a different AMV with the audio played over it. Don't get me wrong, it was a fun watch and I liked it, but it's missing that addictive oomph to keep me coming back to watch it.

Still a good effort! Keep at it!

Dance vids FTW.

Thanks for watching =). I think I know what you mean about the flow at certain times.
