An Ordinary Day

I just recently made an Inuyasha AMV to the song "Ordinary Day" by Vanessa Carlton. ^__^ I've had the idea in my head for a while, and it took me about 7 or 8 crazed and intense hours to make this AMV. The transitions are smoother than I usually make them, and I think it turned out nicely. I would really appreciate opinions. ^__^ And comments here, if that's to much to ask. =)

Thank you and please tell me how I can improve! (Constructive Criticism!) =D

I've got mixed feelings about this one.

Solid edditing. You flowed with the music. No discernable story line, but that was overcome with emotional tone. Good tribute video. Couple spots could have been cleaner on the scene shifts, but, the way you did the overall visual movement and sceene selection was well done.

To put it another way, MACRO music management was spot on, micro music management was hurting pretty bad.

You are hurting on the video quality. Subtitles were distracting (though I half thought they were intentional untill I started reading them) and on one of the disks there has to be a clean into/credit role somewhere (most have it in the extras). Were you using downloaded footage? The quality was scaling up and down in the range of mediocre to low good quality and it was noticable.

But, overall, good tribute, good emotional tone video. It could have been tightened up a bit more.

Thank you for replying! (nobody ever does! XD) I appreciate your comments and will try to use better footage (without subtitles) in my next video. I use practically any footage I can get my hands on, and maybe that's my problem. I will instead try to rip more footage off of the episodes I own. ^__^
