Since no one has said it or I missed someone say it, I find NTB to be a whole lot better. This video has great effects.. the way a cropped character pans all over the place, and the way text moves on the screen.. with all the random lines, circles and the sound visualizers.. I mean wow. And the still frames of characters pumping towards the screen to the beat. It's all pretty impressive.

But aside from all the wow flashy effects.. witch is what seems to buy the users of the community, scene selection in most cases feel extremely random. And the dots really don't help in enjoying it. Some parts I just really don't like, while other parts the scenes seem really cool and matching to the music. It would be nice if I could easily enjoy it from beginning to end like I do NTB, but it's too obnoxious with the effects and pointlessness, so NTB is the victor when it comes to quality by a great deal IMO. I actually enjoyed the effectless version more.

<Decoy> Okay.
<Decoy> Be nice.
<godix> ?
<Decoy> Req just burned you in my thread.
<godix> Heh.
<Decoy> And as I want my work to have a shelf life of more than a week.
<godix> I'll get to it later.
<Decoy> Sweet deal.
<godix> And I wouldn't worry about shelf life. Even if the announcement was locked this very second I'm sure that video is on it's way to the top 10.
<Decoy> I don't give a shit about that. I released it yesterday. I just want it to be up for more than a week or so, so that people can at least see what busted my ass off for the past half a year.
<godix> Alright, I'll be nice and won't say anything to get the thread locked.
<Decoy> Cool. Thanks dude

Really, he has only the one trademark. Each of those dots was actually a teeny tiny hexagon.



...or was it that each hexagon was made up of MORE DOTS MORE DOTS

I really liked the intro, though, and I think I might have enjoyed this more if I liked Bleach. The effects are pretty neat, so I'll watch this again after I look at the FX-less one :)
Yes, I drenched it. I full well knew that it wouldn't sit well with some. The intro was one of my favorite parts in the video. There's just something satisfying about building a scene from the ground up and having it look just like you planned it.
Aria Uchiha wrote:*Thumbs up*

I think the music/effects gave this AMV a unique feel/style and I got used to the dots after watching it a few times. Only downside was having to re-watch it lots to read the smaller text that flew by.

Nice job as always with these Decoy, too bad you're not doing anymore Beats but I imagine they're a giant time-sink.


PS: Was I just seeing things or did you put "Burns like inthesto" in there? :shock:
awsm. Thanks for the comments. The tiny text that I added [be it the easter eggs or actuall relevant comments to the situation at hand] isn't really meant to be read. It just adds to the ambience of the vid.

I won't be doing techbeats anymore, but I'll still be doing effects intense vids, so the time-sink is only going to get bigger ;)

Yes, you saw right. There are tons of those little joke texts in there. I'll post a list of everything in a day or two.
Devil^Shin wrote:To say the true i expect much more than News Print effect, i kind a hate him, i also didnt like some moments in amv, but its my opinion. I think this will be one of amv's of the year and will be probably on 7-8 place in top10%, because there is now so many Bleach fans. I never before listen that mix of Chines Burn and was very enjoyable, but i enjoy NTB more than BTB. Still 4/5.

ok atleast you should put most freaky and awesome character in Bleach -Zaraki Kenpachi.
I will probably will left op soon.
thanks for the comments, ohwell, if you like NTB more. Cool beans, at least that vid is still doing it for some folks.

Maaan, I almost did add Zaraki, but I couldn't find a spot in the song to squeeze him in. Sorry mate.

Sorry for the wait, I blame jetlag and all that. Also wanted to tweak a thing or two before I released it. Yeah, I wanted this vid to stand out above other Bleach vids. Something I think, I accomplished. [osnap, but wait, you can't see any Bleach in BTB :O]

I hope you got sorted out with VLC or CCCP.

SSJVegita0609 wrote:Decoy, I'd actually really like to see you create a music video composed entirely of your own effects. That's really what this felt like. I'd almost say the anime aspect TAKES AWAY from it. I couldn't tell what most of the bleach footage was anyways. The vector effects were snazzy and kept my eyes entertained for the most part. I just think the excess of footage made the video too messy.

3/5.
Thanks for the input. Yes, I am working towards that. Baby steps. If I had time I would've vector traced Bleach and did some cool shit with it... but we all know that would take just too goddamn long.

Yay, love for the dots. Of course I can >_> Like I said, hexadots will reign supreme. Or as Kit said... they're really just microscopic hexagons. It's true. >_>

ps - sharp sticks = :(

I love them and u've putten a lot of effort

What it comes down to. I tried something different. If you don't like it, too bad. You have NTB to float your boat. But I'm glad you still like NTB after a years time, really cool. :)

Look, I realize that within a few years your AIDS is going to kill you. I also know you will die alone, unmourned, and never having come close to discovering something even remotely like editing talent. So I take pity on you. Don't read more into it than is there.

Even if the morrow is barren of promises, nothing shall forstall my return.

To become the dew that quenches the land, To spare the sands, the seas, the skies, I offer thee this silent sacrifice.
