♥ Wishes to the fireflies ♥
I've been working on this video since June (more of less)... and I actually thought to myself "Oh my will I ever finish this?"
But this song plays on the radio everyday, so it was kinda impossible to forget about it.
The main reason of dragging this for so long was everytime I started working on it, I changed something and again and again. lol.
I'm sure most of you are already tired of this song, but I really loved doing this.
I hope you like it too! Can't wait to hear what you think and so on
The upload is still pending so feel free to check it on youtube if you prefer.
P.S.: Thank you so much for the 3rd place on Japan Weekend, I feel really honored!

Scene selection was great. But after Shinzo made his AMV using remix of the song it's hard for me to get used to the speed of this xD (editing is good though).
btw. why is this an instrumental ?

X2. Apart from the pacing[not that it was bad, I just wasn't used to it xD], everything else was pretty good I especially loved the colours and textures because it gave it a nice magical feeling.Cross/fade wrote:Scene selection was great.

Re: ♥ Wishes to the fireflies ♥
Thank you! You're so right about the sync, some parts also bother me. But the time I did my computer was having some kind of "bad days" lol and now I'm with sony vegas 10, and syncing is not a big problem anymore. The render of this takes forever, so maybe one day when I'm less tired of the music (lol) I'll fix those partsguy07 wrote:Not bad. Good use if imagery and scene selection for sure.

Yes I know that one too! lol I must say I prefer the original version, but that's me Thank you for watching itCross/fade wrote:Scene selection was great. But after Shinzo made his AMV using remix of the song it's hard for me to get used to the speed of this xD (editing is good though).

And I just realize that I put it instrumental LOL thank you!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you all liked the scene selection, it took ages to find the "right" parts that would fit more or less.AimoAio wrote:X2.

And glad you liked the colours! That's the main reason for this taking so long to render. I wanted to transmit that feeling of night and magical just like you said

The pretty blue color scheme is one of my favorite things about this. I was a little worried at first that the bubble texture thing would start to look monotonous after a while (and it would have if it were just thrown on there over the entire video), but the end result is very attractive. That, along with the common motifs (pianos and moons =D it seems), makes everything feel unified. The video holds together really well.
Lyric-sync
I liked the pacing just fine. The only place it felt slow was at 1:25, the start of the first heavier chorus. The next chorus didn't feel that way; the scene selection was more energetic.
/will never be tired of this song. I'm happy that an inordinate number of mvs (four, including the original) I've seen to it thus far have been really enjoyable.

Re: ♥ Wishes to the fireflies ♥
blue color corrector created a truly dream atmosphere, and I really like this pace, kinda dig, a few technical issue like shugo chara part, but it was nice... scene selections and sources were great ofcourse

Even though it was a bit too slow at times, really enjoyed it your best video so far!

Re: ♥ Wishes to the fireflies ♥
I like the use of color, but I kept waiting for the color to change. There were a couple points that seemed natural for changing the color scheme to something besides blue. The expanding circle of growing stuff at :45 just seemed to call for that. Musically, around 1:30 and 2:30 seemed to call for it. So nice job, but I would have preferred to see the colors change to accent various parts of the song.
