Only Love - by danielroch

Only Love also known as Without You.

I started this project back in March and it has taken awhile to get out to you, the views. This is my second full video to come from Premiere and I feel that I have improved a lot since my first. Of course this video was not as easy I through it was going to be since I had about 4 betas (thank you Andre and Brian :p) but I have learnt a lot from it.

Like most FFX and FFX-2 videos it focuses on Yuna and Tidus love. The song I chose for this was perfect for FFX since Yuna can't live without Tidus (as you have seen in the game). I also like how almost all of the lyrics fit FFX which is why you will see a lot of lyric syncs.

In this video I tried to combine what I had learnt over the past year and I feel that I have. You can see that I used image mattes, effects, lyric syncs and lip syncs to bring my story across to you, the audience.

I would like to thank Brian (aka Sky) and Andre (aka Resk) who supported me all the way through this. Also thank you Brian for those kickass FFX and FFX-2 clips. And (lots of thanks) also thanks Maggie, Chris (aka Zamora) and Epical Studios for you're never ending support. Thank you all! *hugs*.

Well, I always download FF videos - it's just one of my quirks. So, I got this - and I was very pleased with what I saw.

- footage was good quality. The only suggestion is to crop off black borders. Those just make it harder to compress your video and add on unnecessary filesize.

- song's lyrics matched the scenes almost perfectly. I imagine it took some creativity to find matching scenes for all of that, but you pulled it off.

- beat sync and flow were great. This is one of the few instances where I've seen a slow romance song synched really well. You picked up the pace right where it needed it, which made the rest of the video look that much better.

This is an all-around solid video, and I really only have two complaints. I didn't entirely agree with your scene choice (example: I thought that the Sending ran on a little long). Also, let's face it: this idea just isn't very original. There are so many Tidus/Yuna romance videos out there now - and while this is definitely one of the better ones, it's just an idea that's been done to death.

Regardless, very good job, and if anyone's looking for a well-edited romance video, this is the place to start!
