I need some suggestions

Post by exkcal » Mon Dec 14, 2015 12:11 am

I need some opinions so far on the amv I am creating. I am really new to making these and only have a couple projects up on my youtube. This is the first time I have used a faster paced song and need some suggestions. I need some suggestions and tips to keeping with the beat. Thanks

i feel like the scennes are lacking motion. i know it's a classic style for eva amv's but for this song it rly feels like it.

IMHO, this is a really interesting song and I see it fitting, but the footage was super blown out color wise, was this intentional?

for keeping with the beat I recommend using a key-frame or marker to set where you need cuts to land. In premier it was * and is now m (just listen to the song in playback mode and hit it when you think a beat is), and if you you have magnetic clips on: boom instant pseudo sync. IDK about other software.

I'd throw in more cross fades, or dips to black and white in the beginning.... I'd also use what eva gives you, lots of static shots to build the song, and lots of dynamic action for the fast parts. You are getting there I think.

Not really.

It's fine if you made a mistake trying to color correct it, or got the footage from youtube, but the movie isn't the problem here.

Found the issue, I was using a weird preset that changed the color values.
