Ask a mod to check the I.Ps on those accounts.

Just to clear this thing up, the ip's don't match, so Michele appears to be a different entity from Rockbito and Serious Andreas.

Anyone else get the feeling that paranoia has set in?

He rated his Kollosal with all 10s, but he formulated a paragraph why (and I respectfully diagree with his reasons; Random poorly done effects != perfect video

This is true but if you read the opinion you'll get my reasons, I didn't want to do something discorrect buf...

I don’t remember what the seconds were, but it looked like this person was a member for just 4 minutes and already left you 3 high reviews. As if the only reason they became a member was to increase the score on your videos.

I DON'T RATE MYSELF!

Actually I've noticed you've rated some of your own videos. Maybe not this one, but some of your previous videos have your review.

Well, anyway, everyone is entitled to an opinion and if that's what your friends think, then I can't tell them they're wrong. I just wasn't sure if there were any friends to begin with and I wouldn't want them to review just for the purpose of helping your score.

I didn't asked them 'help me with the score' I actually asked them if they could op my videos.. Then I explicated them all this chaos for their points teaching them some things and they will be more serious in the ops. Then, if in my videos some people posts all 10s without comments, god it is not my fault if them are not able to good op something.. And I think that kòlossal is deserved to be in that 10%. If would be not the world would not fall.

An op exchange you still haven't repaid... but I won't bring that up again.

This is something that really make me angry with my town.. I actually can't download a thing.. Is really frustrating and making me not fine.. Are 4 years that I wait the adsl. I am really sorry... I apologize, I'm sincerely in sorry..

Just to clear this thing up, the ip's don't match, so Michele appears to be a different entity from Rockbito and Serious Andreas.
Thank you.

Thanks god finally a proof T.T BUF... As you can see I am not a lier nor a cheater..!! Sorry for all this tiring problem but now I hope that all is clear, all the things I said are sincere. I could repeat them all, things about opinions and some my comments, but is more easy read again for you ;P

Anyone else get the feeling that paranoia has set in?

Me without doubts XP

I for one, look forward to Michele's videos. =D I will download it and leave an op. later. I haven't viewed it yet, but I am glad Michele is still making videos. =D Keep up the good work.

Thanks a ton ^.^ If you have a msn contact I will try to contact you >_<

Michele, I said later on in my post that you however had your reasons.

Oh yeah, and the fact your speed is bad is why I didn't divulge into it further... however I was confused as to why you'd start an exchange in the first place, if your connection couldn't let you download an AMV.

But the only real thing I don't like about your videos, is the fact that you basically never show improvement. Of course, that's not something you have to do, but it disappoints me to see you still using effects that are equally useless as poorly executed. All sum this up: Just having effects does not make your video better.

It is like school, you won't be rewarded for being able to think, but for actually thinking well. Using effects doesn't make your video better, it's using effects well.

I'll explain what I mean with your FMA video.

At 00:21, there is a series of bells in the music. You tried matching this using a dither transition. This transition eliminates too many dots of the video at one time, so it doesn't match the bells in speed. But also, it doesn't match it with the way it sounds.. so I wouldn't recommend it. A sound like this would match something bright, so it's mostly the fading to black that bothers me.

Around 00:50, you had these random flashes that didn't correlate to the song well, and made it hard to watch. You also did this chroma key keyframed to disappear at 01:03, and I didn't see how that clip was so special than the rest of the fadeouts in the video. It wasn't needed, and the aliased edges it had made it look poor.

At 01:26, you faded to gray. This was not needed, as the song did not change at that pount. A simple fadeout would have done in this case like before.

At 01:37 is the most useless effect in the video. The edge feather I found no way matched the sound... you also miss a major note that follows after it. The feathered edges took away from the visual, as well as not being needed at all. This effect did not add to the video, it detracted to it.

And at 01:56, you started to fade over these clips that somewhat fit to the song; but it seemed useless and confusing, as they weren't equally synced. You also ripped a big chunk out of Tyler's video here... And later on through the video, you just leave it semi faded. I mean, action will be going on and there will be this other segment as well mixed in, and like at 02:31 it looks lazy and doesn't fit at all.

And in the end with the massive fading over, I didn't feel any euphoristic action overload, just a bunch of confusion. Most of the effects were not the best they could be, but most importantly you are ignoring the simple action sync, thinking the effects will save you. You missed nearly all the big trumpet hits in this video.

Subtitles were also at 00:41, and 01:31. I recommend removing these...

I'm not some effects hater, I love effects. In fact I use them a lot. But I don't use them when they aren't needed, since then they only detract from the experience more than add to it. And I still use basic action synchronization, which is actually the basis for most effects that are executed very well.

Overall, like Kollosal, there is a large room for improvement.

This critics are the ones that I like to hear and I thank you. : )

But as you can see by my first video

http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... hp?v=34106

And the lasts ones:

http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... hp?v=43208

The improvement there is! But I think you took all this like a fight.. I didn't want to fight you!!! About the fade in black and white in my last it is been NOT for synch but for something else. I don't do videos only for synch.. For sure! I am sure of myself improves and everytime I do a video I improve a little as my way of creator! There are people that see my improvements and likes my videos there are people that can hate them, I will improve for both. But this not means that I wanted a fight with you! I respect you. This for sure!

And in the end with the massive fading over, I didn't feel any euphoristic action overload, just a bunch of confusion. Most of the effects were not the best they could be, but most importantly you are ignoring the simple action sync, thinking the effects will save you. You missed nearly all the big trumpet hits in this video.

This is why this is been my FIRST video with premiere!! I am a BEGINEER with this program and sometimes I fell in confusion.

Well you sure picked up keyframes pretty quickly.
