Re: About You Now
I just had to reply to this, its to damn cute.
The effects were actually pretty good, for once I didn't feel they were there cause they were 'cool' effects like I do with most Shugo Chara vids, but they actually had a reason to be there. Most of them really went with the pace and style of the song and anime. Through I feel you could has done with less white flashes for beat-sync at some parts, they got kinda annoying, also without that wired shape sync at 2:30-2:33(kinda looks like little blobs in the background popping up, maybe its due to the video QL?) Your masking was alright, having the outlines helped smooth them out. Though I wasn't really fond of the background choices at the beginning of the video.
You lyric-sync was well done and clip selection was almost prefect for this cute vid (sorry I can't help mention more then once its cute). The pace of the video went really well with the song, I didn't get the feeling that it was going to fast or to slow for the song at any part of the video.
However the lip-sync that the video had, it could have done without it honestly, it really didn't add anything to it imo. Also the audio sounded a little weird with both my speakers and headphones. Did you use an MP3? Also a version without the logo would be nice.
You mention about having to remove the credits for fit within the 100mb limit, here a few suggestions to help with that. One would be to try to compress your audio, that would save you loads of space. Also try to compress your video into an mp4 using Zarx264gui which you can find in AMVapps 3.0(which can be found here ) not only will it make the file smaller but look better as well, its all in the guides here if you need any help.
Anyway I enjoy this very much, sorry for the long post, I tired to be detailed about it at 3:50 in the morning hehe.
All in all this is a really cute and well done Amuto/Shugo Chara video. 3.5-4/5
Also I couldn't help but smile through this whole thing. Damn its too cute.

Re: About You Now
Aw, thanks for the review!
And yeah I felt the clips were to raw so I added the flashes but I think at one point I also was unsure about them, Ill keep that in mind o: And those "blobs" I wasn't sure what they were either XD I think I was trying to do something borderish but failed...
Yes, I did use an MP3 but I know nothing about Audio quality XD
And thanks, I'll definitely learn about compressing, Ive been wanting to and I did a little bit yesterday *o* I'll mess with that and maybe try to upload a nicer version later~
Thanks again for the detailed review :3 I'll work on these problems!

Re: About You Now
Moar "Shugo Chara!" amvs by Re-Evo members, I see... :p
/gets
EDIT: Cool stuff I say. What I'd point out as bad points would be some flashes abuse, some transitions that didn't work as well as others, and the 3d that you used in a couple places, which admittedly felt too mechanic. The beginning of the vid (not the intro, the actual vid, I mean
) also stood out, because it had text and lip sync, whereas the rest of the vid didn't - which actually was a good thing if you were to ask me, I liked what you did with the scene selection and the sync quite a bit, so good job on that. 4/5
PS: WHAT THE HELL, seriously, WHAT THE HELL was with the logo in the bottom right corner.

Subliminal messaging. I bet you came.mirkosp wrote:PS: WHAT THE HELL, seriously, WHAT THE HELL was with the logo in the bottom right corner.
Also, I've never seen this show, but I have seen quite a handful of AMVs using it.. so I have to ask.. what's with the tendency to always blast this show with effects? Is that just the Vegas/AE/Youtube generation? Or is it the anime that really lend itself to being blasted by fruity colors?
Anyways, overall it was better than most of those other ones I've seen, so good job.

I think it was probably the song and the combination of me wanting to do something more complex than what I normally do XD
But thank you x3~
