Obligatory, annual, elitist AWA 2016 Pro AMV review!

[ngsilver]

Anyone else have trouble with the download? It keeps failing on me. Just says failed, Network Error. I can try it from work tomorrow maybe.

I'll try getting an alternate site up tonight.

I had the same issue. Decided to straight download rather then open the zip direct and it worked. Took about 6 tries tho.

I'm sure they're overwhelmed. I had tested the .zip option with 3 people and it seemed stable.
I could not get an alternate up last night, sorry... will work on that tonight.

Just curious and not sure if it applies, but since we have 6 DQ'd videos, if one if them were to be that editors only entry do they lose the ability to vote/nominate since now they are no longer entered into the contest?

Yes, that is correct.

So stand down on the backup if you were only doing it for me.

Ok here are my notes I took while watching. Some are serious, some aren't. It's a veritable clusterfuck of emotions.
= Personally enjoyed
= technical skill

003 - What, no toothbrush?
020 - i gotta sit down that's so damn cute
028 - Maybe if I'd finally watch the movie I'd have a clue what's going on.
037 - OMG THAT'S FUCKING ADORABLE. Done. I don't need to see anymore. I'm gonna lie down.
038 - aspect ratios? editing was a little clunky but that was refreshing for Naruto.
039 - aspect ratio...
042 - this was oddly calming for me. totally serious.
044 - editing was nice and smooth up until that ending song probably cuts that way i'm guessing. i still don't get the appeal of adding the red/green 3D color effect.
045 - It's AWA the musical!
046 - that damn monkey
050 - :\
051 - yaaayyy more madoka...
052 - that animation is so fugly XD but so good too
053 - that was shiny
054 - would have loved this if it didn't end so abruptly. sad face.
060 - XP mediocre
062 - i could guess who made this. what a tease.
063 - the japanese animations didn't blend well with the american(korean?) but it did catch my interest in the movies
064 - i like it but gawd that audio quality YUCK
065 - wtf r u on and y didn't u share?
066 - might have made more sense if you used future diary
067 - u got a wonky audio cut in there at 1:20
070 -
071 - cute
072 - that came out good
073 - ... ... ... wut
077 - that's chrome~
078 - editing was good, story felt incomplete
079 - YUUSSSSS
080 - i liked it. haunting. ending felt abrupt
081 - ah k it won me over
082 - i got kinda confused but i think that made it interesting
083 - i can dig it
084 - great storytelling! until the ending wtf
085 - by jove it's the next Deadpunch! your title/credit slates at the end can be a LOT more interesting tho. buff those up before you release the final version.
087 - great character profile~ bleck don't like that last scene of him walking out the door. should have ended on his face.
088 - theme has potential, but the editing and scene selection is very disjointed from the song. and then i didn't understand the ending.
089 - pretty good
093 - SON OF A BITCH MY HEADPHONES
101 - i'm a prude
102 - mutherfocker it's too late for ihop >:\ i had to settle for cereal
103 - OH NO!! that's gotta be frustrating. again, last scene should have been his face.
104 - that's the first time i've ever heard that commercial all the way thru
105 - whaaaaat's up with all the lip flap?
108 - oh i get it. shoulda done it to ponies XD
109 - aaand it just ends...
110 - song was kinda monotonous
111 - interesting combo! good song editing. aww lazy last cut
112 - this has so and so written all over it
113 - storytelling was kinda clunky. didn't really get it.
114 - great storytelling!
115 - i liked that. simple and to the point.
117 - feels unfinished :\
118 - pretty sure i know who made this. tighten up those lip syncs. "Buck" is one syllable.
119 - ooh new music... i'm done with madoka tho :\ still well made, altho that last shot was disappointing
120 - that was cute. i didn't get it at first but when chrona took over the song that's when it hooked me. really sweet.
121 - well that was fucked up
123 - i learned absolutely nothing
124 - needs something at the end to seal the deal.
125 - good theme, execution just needs polishing.
126 - again!
127 - straight down the toilet with you!
128 - solid.
129 - NOOOOO TOO SHORT!!!!
130 - ASPECT RATIO geez. theme is good tho
131 - silly
133 - i think i just got a cavity
134 - womp womp
135 - storytelling is really all over the place. hard to follow
137 - take it easy with the camera motion. it was really distracting. lock down your storytelling before attempting to add flare.
141 - what a match
142 - "already happened..." yeah i caught it
143 - great video to end with!
