Well, I just want to see what people think of my latest AMV. It's based on the Beyblade Anime, but I run a Beyblade website, so of course I'll have a lot of Beyblade AMVs to promote the anime. Plus it's my first AMV done on Adobe Premiere and I want to see how it fares as a first, even though I've had other experiences editing with WMM2.

Uh, also, there are tonnes of DBZ and Naruto AMVs that are totally spectacular... So there's really no point in me trying to compete. I actually finished this AMV back in August 2005, but I got restless and decided to put it up!

I hope you like it!

I forgot to mention I got the footage from Beyblade World. The footage isn't perfect because I haven't got any DVD footage of my own yet. Maybe one day. The AMV is based on Beyblade G Revolution, which is, mind you, the more exciting season, haha.

If they take this down I'm going to bitch about how they don't take down the other downladed footage AMVs.

x2

I capture footage from LD everyday, just because people say its not a DVD rip is no reason to go off. Get the FACTS first.
But as a side note I do agree that videos with obvious downloaded footage should be taken down, as they are against the .org commandments. However how does one gauge downloads from other sources? I have videos dating back to 2000 that had subtitled footage but it was only due to VHS rips that unfortunately included subs (because dubs make the baby jebus cry). What about DVD hard-subs? Or other similar sources? Hence you cannot make such snap judgments. However those who do break the rules should correct their own error in a mature manor.

I've always been under the impression that it's not so much the presence of subs but rather the presence of excessive block noise and other artifacting that could only be the product of more than one round of distro compression (taking into consideration the level of compression required to get the video down to whatever filesize it's at, of course).

At least, that's how you can tell at the Otakon prescreenings (yes, it's noticeable even when we're watching everything on VHS -- just to a lesser degree).

Actually that was a pretty decent video.
I think the timing needs work and there was a strange pop-frameish error at the beginning, perhaps a keyframing issue, but all in all not bad. Looking at your profile I will say you maybe need to vary your sources a little :p
I enjoyed it. Keep working on those beats, but story wise this video flows nicely. A few point is seems too flashy, too many effects and deter from the video just as easily as shotty editing. Try next time more fading in the choral portion of the song. Musically the bad sounded like just another Linkin Park ripoff band. Sum41 always struck me as The Gap of mainstream musical culture. If it's cool were there exploiting it. :/ And lyrically, they don't even seem to have a mind of their own, lets just numb the mind that is the angst teenager but that is hardly something you can help. Keep up the good work.

Also:
I want to see you do a video to Arnold Schwarzenegger singing The Dradle song and Beyblade. DEW EET!!
I can supply you with a rip of the audio, but you MUST dew this video for me. :O

Leave my MPEG4V2 rips out of this

Otakon just hates me
