That 60fps looks so impressive.
Awesome video... appart from all that repetitive twitch and the random scenes i am in love with this entry.

Pretty slick work. This is the first AMV that has used 60 fps to make it actually look good, especially with those facial expressions at the beginning. Rather than using Twixtor as a novelty and just tossing it on video as an afterthought like most others I have seen. As for nitpicking, people have pretty much covered what could be improved, but I'd like to add that the lurking texture background gets a bit obnoxious since it sits in the background of the video the whole time. Otherwise good stuff here.

BTW, as a fan of GMVs I checked out some of the videos on your youtube channel and let me say nice work on those too. I know you're "new" to AMVs but you're obviously not new to video editing. :P

Yeah, you're probably right. When I watched my render on my shitty monitor (I've got a awesome and a horrible one) I couldn't see the texture at all. Out of fear I pushed it until it was barely visible on that screen. I'll watch out next time.

You seem to like my GMVs better than I do :D

Gotta take this chance to tell you personally how awesome "The Nightmagi Cometh" is. Honestly, that shit is super über cool.

Well, since you've been getting way too much nitpicking and "this is how I would have done it" comments, I'm going to stop and say fucking fantastic job. Yes, there is some warping, it's a bit long, and certain effects are used quite a bit but I adore this video. The length didn't bug me, the warping was fine, and overall the effects I felt fit for the most part. Normally I'm one to stop by and drop some criticism but since that's all you've really been getting I'm going to gush for a bit.

Overall you did something that so far no one else, including Nostromo, has been able to do and that's to create a video using 60fps that I actually enjoy. I adore the way you transformed the footage into something that looks less like an anime and more like a cell shaded video game. It's a look and style I've never really seen before and while it felt weird to look at when I first started watching, it was a good kind of weird that only continued to get better and better.

I'm seriously looking forward to both GMVs and AMVs from you in the future. :up: :up: :up:

I watched this video the other day on youtube. Just really stumbled against it out of coincidence.

Since I didn't comment on it on Youtube I'll make it quick.
To give you my honest opinion. The video is really pretty. The only thing that really bothered me is the twitch effect.
I think you could have went with something more original? I don't if it's me but that effect is quite overused in AMVs...but as your first AMV I'll let that slip by :p
Overall...quite enjoyable...especially that amazing sync you did at the end.
Klasse gemacht! :up:

Copy paste from AMVnews
There's quite a bit of warping in the video, also twitch side blocks. I recommend turning up the "input frame rate" to about 100-300 where you have warping or even just simply by overlaying slowed down 60fps clips when you see noticeable warping. Still beautiful though.
Definitely one of the best 1st videos I've ever seen! Goodluck in BC :up:
