Forum rules
Please observe the following unique rules for this forum:
Please limit your new threads (not replies) to one per week. If you have several new videos to announce, create one thread for all the videos. (Note: if you forget one you can edit your post!)
Offsite links are allowed, but you are required to have a catalog entry for that video as well. Threads announcing videos that do not contain a catalog entry will be moved to the Awaiting Catalog Entry sub-forum and will be deleted in 2 weeks if an entry is not created.
When posting announcements, it is recommended that you include links to the catalog entries (using the video ID) in your post.
Videos that do not contain anime are allowed to be announced in the Other Videos section and are not required to have catalog entries.
Since this is my first video on the org I would VERY MUCH appreciate all the constructive critisism you people can give me ^^
Description of the video is basically just a normal Naruto rescuing Sasuke storyline, both of them die at the end though . I made it for a small-time tourney on youtube hehe.
For the future, you can use the vidid tags here to automatically post some of the details of your video. Just stick the video id (the last part of the url of your video's information page, 185049 in this case) in between the tags like so
Now, about your video. It's rather short...which makes it a bit harder to analyze.
It looks like you've got a pretty solid grip on sync. I don't know if the sync slipped a bit in the middle or not due to the fast pace, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
My main issue with the video is the pacing. For the first 5 seconds, your clips are pretty slow and static (which was a good choice imo.) However, from 0:05 to around 0:15 you start to throw considerably more clips into the mix. The problem I have is that the pace of the music didn't pick up, so the clips in those 10 seconds felt out of place compared to the slower pace you had set in the first 5 seconds.
Other than that, I couldn't really see your "rescuing Sasuke" storyline, but I think that's mainly due to the short length. Also, if you hadn't told me that they were both supposed to die at the end, I wouldn't have guessed that was the case by just watching the video.
Major props. For your first AMV here on the org, I think you did a pretty nice job.
I can see what story you were going for. You had a pretty good setup (the scene of Sauske getting corrupted and then Naruto coming in and wanting to get him back), and then executed the action part of the song with the conflict battle. So you had a nice concept and followed through pretty well. The sync and editing really hit the song well, and it flowed nicely.
I do think that you overkilled just a tad in the scenes at :08-:12. A little too much to take in at once.
.wmv wasn't actually "bad" per se, because the quality wasn't horrible, but I think you could invest in a new container .mp4 or .avi and might get you a better quality piece (as well as look more professional.
But the MAJOR thing is that you video was just so sadly short. Had this been a full length video, I probably would have loved it. IT was just a lot to fit into 42 seconds. Plus, you could have really spread out a lot of their story and conflict and friendship into more than just 18ish seconds before the big rescue fight.
But still. Like Karuido said, it was a solid piece. I'd reccomend.
