Excuse me, but you’ve got Akira Under My Skin

Crashing through the roof and landing just in time for the...uh...VCA? :shock: , Akira Under My Skin returns to the world of the downloadables again. :wink:

Oh and yeah, enjoy! :D

Ok, since you asked me so nicely in that mesage you sent to me, I'm gonna check out your vid. Got to warn you though, I'm not a big fan of Akira. I tried watching it but couldn't seem to stay interested in it (I don't know why, maybe I'm just weird :roll: ).

But anyway, once I've finished downloading it I'll give you a quick review (geez, 60Mb? gonna take a while even with my 512K connection 8) ).

And while I've got your attention, check out mine first try at AMVs:

and tell me what you think.

Heh. Fear not. It is not your typical Akira vid. Thanks.

Damnit!

How many people are downloading my vid? I didn't think it was THAT popular.

As for the Akira vid, its cool. Its nice to see a vid that uses a true classic song for a change. Bonus points just for that.

Timing is sooo spot on, I don't think you could get any better with that. More bonus points for you.

And lastly, the vid fits the song very well. Excellent job there. And yet more bonus points.

All in all, original, excellent vid with lots of bonus points.
Very well done.


Keep trying with my vid, you might be able to catch it when the servers not so busy.

Oh and I got your vid.

I'm not sure if I should comment or not, since I'll readily admit I haven't seen a single episode of DB, and I am completely clueless as to who's who at all, so perhaps I'm not really the most suitable person to comment on the content, but interesting that you had an 'introduction' sequence.

Technically however I suppose, it looked like the song used could do with either a little more cuts/effect or more active footage but the pace is okay overall, and it is your first try. :wink:

As for my vid, from a person who didn't quite get into Akira, that you enjoyed it is great praise (with bonus points too :shock: ). Thanks! ^_^

Ok, better stop before this thread gets moved to the opinion exchange forum. :D

*makes mental note: learn how to put effects into vids*
