I'm actually gonna have to letterbox my source now anyway. The edges are freaking horrid on this DVD thanks to the interlacing, let me put it this way: If you fullscreen every edge looks like a fucking staircase, I should of just baught the damn bluray.

So ya mine's gonna end up letterboxed now.
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

i must be a dunce when it comes to lip syncing because i thought mine was spot on. :? he even blinks right on beat. and the emotion on his face when he says "i wish i could disappear" matches with him witnessing the destruction of the city.

i'll check out the other suggestions when i get off work

The sync is spot on. The issue with it is their is no movement in his face at all, and his emotion just looks kinda blank. You could keep it in there and still pull off an amazing track, but I think it would look better with another scene in the background of that fire.

mk.... i'll stew over that for a bit, maybe i'll come up with something better :nose:

@eva-fan - "don't you regret you met me?" that lip sync is sick. unfortunately i kinda makes the others not look really good :/ and thus kinda down plays "regret you met me". i'd change the first lip syncs in some way. either by taking them out or replacing them or something. i'm not sure. <-my only gripe. rest looks good.

@kaze - your stuff is the shit, can't wait to see it complete.

@arashinomine - i don't really understand what's going on, but the fast pace gives me a lot of energy while watching so i can deal. maybe it requires several views for me to understand everything.

Eva, on multiple viewings, your track is just way to slow in general like all the way through.

edit: never, from :39 on is the only place where it's REALLY to slow, the rest is alright..

I can help you with video quality if you want, it looks really grainy and gradiented (I've never worked with that source), I can't tell if thats from encoding or not though. It shouldn't be, the bitrate is fine. Either way it's up to you, it could easily be improved. I'll comment on the editing later, I really like this track though as a whole, the mood from the scene choices works well.

Silk: The action sync is great but I can't make an opinion on this track till I see more.

Well I don't see this as a dragonforce MEP. I'll admit you guys seem to be doing some pretty high speed cuts and tight sync. If you want me to do that I can but the music just doesn't feel fast enough to get me into that editing mode it seems. I'll try editing the track like that and see what happens but no guarantees. If I don't like a highspeed ending like you guys have been suggesting I may go back to a slower ending. The lyrics just don't fit a fast ending at all but the original definitely lacked intensity which I intend to fix somehow.

It's not just the editing. You're picking some really slow scenes when there's lots of action scenes to choose from. I can see what you're going for but it comes off as more lazy than thoughtful.
