Lol, thanks, this one was a lot different though<.<....ive been working on it since for a while on and off, while the goldenboy one was just and idea that hit me in the face and i locked myself in my room for 3 weeks to edit it <.<......

I also liked your goldenboy amv, this one was good too. THe only thing that stood out that seemed a bit... off, was the lip sync, while good, could have better, a few scene choices at times didnt seem to match the lyrics or mood, and occasionally there seemed to be a some extra mouth movements in the scenes that didnt need to be there, but it was few and far between. the only one that really stood out in memory was at 2:20-2:25, overall it was very good. It's nice to find another good kare kano amv.

This video shows that you put alot effort into it, the synchge was very good and those picture mattes did fit as well as the most other effects. Tough the sound was not my type I really enjoyed the video. In my personal opinion the Golden Boy video is still a little bit better but just because it uses certain sources

; the editing in this one surpasses your old wok for sure. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the support ^_^, definitely this one was better as far as editing, however the overall concept was nothing compared to the goldenboy one and as far as originality goes. Then again, comedy amv's are always easier to make i think, action then comedy THEN drama.....i havent seen a perfect dramatic amv yet i dont think, though some have come awfully close.....

Yeah i know i fucked up as far as lipsyncing....i was going to not do it, however the scenes i used had characters moving their lips, and i would have had mere still frames if i hadn't attempted to sync. I still need more work on that but hey, im still just starting out.

I love both ELO and Kare Kano, so I had to check this out. It was very nice and upbeat, a real feel-good video. I'll keep it and look forward to seeing more from you.

My only complaints are on the technical side. You should have corrected the aspect ratio to something like 640x480 to be correct for computer display. The footage itself looked somehow washed out, too strong filtering probably. This didn't detract too much from the video anyway.

Thanks again- yeah i supposed i didnt take into account the aspect ratio, i left it like that in case i need to put it in any cons- as far as filtering, yeah, i may have gone overboard with the blending, kare kano is definitely meant to be in its original form, but if i submit this to any cons i will definitely fix the filtering up. Thank you once again ^_^
