Song: Little Dreams

First time uploading something to the org. This is actually my first time editing with several different animes in one AMV. I just wanted to edit what I had. I'm quite new to the whole thing here so criticism would really be appreciated as I know I have a long way to go. There's no real story, except for basically matching with the lyrics? I had a bit of fun editing this. If you can, tell me what you think, it would be much appreciated.^^

after the first 36 seconds or so, it wasn't bad

but the first 36 seconds were awful. your pans and zooms really need a lot of work, and it's kinda weird how you only used em in the first 30 seconds.

there were quite a few glitches too, sometimes fades were messy cause they didn't fully crossfade or fade out and there was another cut or something but for the most part not bad

did feel a little generic with the choice of clips from 5cm and some of those openings but what're ya gonna do?

2.5/5

Hehe, thanks Gote! (It's Lauren btw).

I'll definitely take into account what you've just told me! I'll work harder on them pans and zooms and I'll try to make them better for the next AMV. And yes, I did have the generic anime on my laptop at the time o o p s.

Thanks for the crit, really needed~! <3

Mainly these 2 points, not so much that they were bad but more that they were weird because they disappeared after a while. Also the text at 0:24....D: Oh and the Anything at the end was off.

I also thought there would be more to the concept regarding EF and Munto since you switched between the 2 of them at the beginning but after a while you started introducing 5cm and Clannad and that so I guess that kinda flew out the window.

Despite that being said, I found it really enjoyable to watch. It felt a little like trance, but at the same time it's not really trance music and the approach was very different. 1:40-1:48 was my favourite part, the flow was pretty awesome. But in general, I liked how you used a mix of static scenes and ones that er.. have a lot of motion...or whatever that's called. XD :up:

I liked this! Nice use of scenes, looked fun to edit. :3
I was a little iffy on your use of font/text early in that video for that one lyric (just seemed out of place to me) and the last few clips looked a little rushed.
Otherwise, me like. :up:

Thank you so much, it was!
Thank you, I'll make sure next time to do that <3. Aha, I do have to admit that it was, my motivation is never persistent throughout editing an AMV lol.
Btw, I adore your work, seriously. <3
