This was pretty well edited, but like someone said before it felt strange listening that music with FMA. The lyrical cohesion on the actual video was okay, it's just that if you know story behind the anime it is difficult to get the mood that the music is giving out. Maybe if I didn't watch the anime I wouldn't think this, but I don't know man, just my two cents. Good work nonetheless.

"But"? I did mean that in a positive way.

I really enjoyed this. A very good action AMV with no gimmicks.

Thanks

Mostly subtle. As mentioned in the video info and earlier here, the idea was to work with the characters motivations so "i'm only getting started" is meant to relate to that on a more subtle level i guess. It definitely helps if you know the show.

I would have synched things up a little differently (since I was saying to myself, "where's the action sync on the words?" many times through the video), but I think you did a fine job.
Brotherhood is way better than the first one >.>
AimoAio wrote:Really nice clean cuts, it makes the video look really neat and the flow much more noticeable. You also chose some of the best scenes from the anime and kept the pacing really dynamic to keep the viewer pumped and excited. I really enjoyed it, nice job! :up:
Thank, glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks but could you elaborate more about how the story the mood of the song don't fit?

I usually make videos with a bit more substance to them but I'm glad you liked this one.
