This is my entry for projectSurge Round 1. It was really fun to do this one. I planned it and did a lot of research before I even start to edit.
I mentioned the help some of you gave me here with some anime suggestions. I'm really grateful for that. In the end I had a lot to choose from :)

Here's the youtube link

Hope you like it!

Woah... I totally love this video, it has such a great concept and it was made really well. :)
At the beginning when I heard the song I was scared because I'm using that song for a video too... and well, your video's much better than mine. xD (I didn't know it was one of the projectsurge's songs... Oh well :P)
This video has such a great message, it's so deep, everybody should watch it...
You know how much important life is only when you face the death. :D
Great video, really.
I'm gonna leave you an opinion.

Simple but a very powerfull atmosphere and good scene selection.
The only thing i didn't like was the outro, too long.
Still great job :up:

lloyd9988 thank you so much! Oh you mean the font or the actual text? The facts were a real pain to find lol

Kairih, aw I read your opinion! So lovely, you sure gave me a smile :) I'm sorry that it touched you so much because of sad reasons :/ Oh and I don't think we're in the same group! Though I remember seeing your video for this round and I really liked it :)

Creed_FR, thank you so much! You're not the first one to point that out and probably not the last one either. To be honest, I take only 50% of the blame, the rest is because of the song that I love so much :awesome:

I'm mainly a fan of the scene selection, and in conjunction, the atmosphere. It was very well done in that regard, and I have no complaints. The sync was also very nice, and not as boring as I would have expected an amv to be to this song. Also, nice job in choosing which scenes to have voiceovers on-- I really like them, but people often put them in the worst of places.

When it got to 2:39 though, I cringed a little. The concept just got really cliche to me, and some of the statistics I didn't like (particularly the whole "x babies born every second, x babies born every minute." Same thing with the deaths, I don't think it's necessarily to have them both, as they're pretty much the same thing. And the "while 1 scientist is creating a weapon, 1 million moms are baking cakes," that one was just... blech. And while I liked the snow statistic, it seemed really irrelevant to the theme and concept.) It was too obvious to me, and I think it was too black and white and too sudden.
But I like the fact that there was a concept, even if I didn't like the concept that much.

Any amv that at least has a good atmosphere is solid, no matter the editing or concept flaws, in my opinion. Still, my criticism stands. But despite all that, I think it was really good. :)
