With You - Jengu
My new AMV about the relationship between Re-l Mayor and Vincent Law.
I fiddled with other music/anime before but never completed a real AMV, so this was my first real attempt at finishing something. I tried to get the scenes to match the lyrics the best I could so the viewer would get a good feel. I also tried to build each scene from least dramatic to most dramatic so it would keep the viewer watching and not turn away.
I hope everyone enjoys the video, all tips and opinions are welcome!

Ergo Proxy? Well, you've caught my attention, for better or worse.
First off, the technical stuff. Audio quality is passable, but it sounds like it was downloaded. The video quality... no. Not acceptable. Ergo Proxy looks a ton better than that. It looks like you ran the whole thing through a desaturation filter or something, because all the colors look washed out. On top of that, I saw interlacing now and again. Somewhat distracting, really.
Second, at least your timing was decent, if not always consistant. The pacing is off. Sometimes it's quite fast, and other times its very slow, with no apparent rhyme or reason.
Third, actual content. For reference, I've seen Ergo Proxy, so I know what you're working from. For a video that's supposed to focus on Vince and Real, you dragged in a lot of extraneous stuff. What business does Pino have in there? Very little, I think. Your focus was lacking as a result. You never clearly established what was going on, opting for some confusing action instead. The result is a video that verges on incoherent.
1.5/5, for actually attempting and having a basic grasp of timing.

Well I asked for help on forums and tried to make it the best i could, if I did 1 thing it would screw something else up. So I decided to, instead of making one full of crap and good quality, to one that actually is complete.Kalium wrote:First off, the technical stuff.

Thanks, I will try and keep it more consistant next time.Second, at least your timing was decent, if not always consistant. The pacing is off. Sometimes it's quite fast, and other times its very slow, with no apparent rhyme or reason.
If you don't understand the reason Pino being there when those lyrics come on, you need to watch the Anime again.Third, actual content.
