Re: One Piece - POTR
it's pretty ok, but the focus seems to switch between Zoro and others and seems to loose a bit of any meaning in doing a character profile if you don't keep that focus. But decent as an action vid.

Well, yea, that's my bad to focus on Zoro too much.

Re: One Piece - POTR
I had quite a few problems with this video. I think you had some good ideas but it feels like you didn't have a concrete direction in mind.
That black framing thing you used a few times throughout the video is distracting and goes on for too long. I think maybe you used it to try and cover the massive difference in quality between different clips? It feels like you're going back and forth between Blu-Ray and low-quality bootlegs and that's very distracting. Also I'm pretty sure you stretched some fullscreen into widescreen and you should never do that.
I think you overused the "slideshow of people's faces" thing you do throughout the video (ex at :52).
For the action parts, your cuts are too slow. I see you edited off the drum, but the guitar and the lyrics are much faster and the slow cuts don't fit. Also, for a lot of the action you used the "wash-out-and-blur" transition which sacrifices too much of the clip and makes it a little hard to tell what's going on - made worse by the fact that many of the action clips are extremely washed out or showing flashes of explosions or arms/effects/etc flying past the camera, not really conveying what's going on. So it feels like a lot of the action isn't actually showing action, if that makes any sense.
I liked the drum fills (with the character cut out and stuff flashing in the background) but they seem out of place.
Again I think you've got good ideas and some clever effects but it all didn't come together very well.

Re: One Piece - POTR
i personally liked it. i mean yea there we're times where the clips we're moving slower then the beat, and some effects did take away from the action, but i thought it was brought together well and the use of manga always touches me somewhere explicitly special, which is saying alot considering i don't like one piece. Anyway, i recommend this video so keep it up!
