The Fine Print (Madoka Magica Spoilers!)

Hey guys, here's one for the Madoka Magica fans! I intended this for an audience that is familiar with the events of the show, so there are a ton of spoilers. If you've seen either the entire TV series or the first two movies and love the series to bits, then this AMV is for you. If you have yet to see either of those, and do not wish to be spoiled, then you'll want to skip this one. Feel free to come back and give it a watch after you've seen the series, though!

*** Final warning! MASSIVE SPOILERS for Puella Magi Magoka Magica (TV) and the two compilation films. Turn back if you haven't seen one or the other! ***

Whenever I've convinced myself that there's no point in watching any more PMMM videos I find a new one I really enjoy. You had some great sync and timing in general, and there were only two or three scenes that were just a little too slow or lasted too long (Madoka & Sayaka at 1:17, and again at 1:28-1:32), but they were so minor in my overall enjoyment. My biggest complaint would be a handful of the transitions were a little messy. The crossfades at 0:50 and 2:28, and the iris at 1:24 and the spinning triangle at 3:02 were just a little too random or disrupted the flow.
Great work!

If those are the only complaints you've got then I'd call that a victory! I still feel like a newbie at this stuff. Glad to hear that sync and timing were positives - I've always felt like sync was one of my strengths in my previous videos.

It wasn't bad. Madoka is pretty played out by now so there was nothing new here for me, and I really wasn't much a fan of the song so I couldn't really get too into it. There were some really nice moments with great scene selection and editing in general (2:30-2:33 stuck out to me), but there were also some kind of awkward moments, mainly the scenes with Kyuubey; and I get what you were going for with those, but only because I've seen the anime and understood what was going on. To anyone who hasn't seen it, I imagine the Kyuubey scenes just look really out of place because he seems like a cute, happy character and pretty much all the surrounding scenes are dark and heavy.

It's an okay video, but not really my personal cup of tea.
