I like it. I think it needs to be a bit faster in the beginning.

It looks good though.

I want to know when Pokemon became so smooth??

Hagaren Viper: I agree with others, the beginning should be faster a bit, but I really like your part

[AimoAio]

x2 at above posts. I think from 0:02-0:07, it only feels slow because you used still scenes with little camera movement so it feels slow compared to the rest which has more action and movement. Otherwise, it's fantastic.

Love Hagarens beta!
Make the beginning a little bit faster and it is perfect!

[Hagaren Viper]

I actually really disagree with making the beginning faster, but I guess Ill think about it ^^; Thanks for the feedback~

[Kousaka]

Thanks for the feedback, everyone~ Guess I'll be getting rid of the zooms xD

Also, Icardoid, I didn't see your newest beta. Can you send it to me please?

Sure :3 I wonder why it didn't send O: Oh well. Is there anybody else that didn't see my newest beta?

WHAT IS UP PEEPS!! Sorry I was gone for so long. I hope Inan conveyed my message. I don't feel like going back through and looking through all the new posts at the moment. Anywho. Fill me in guys what did I miss?

And If you wanna know where I was, you can read all about it in my newest Journal post. I don't feel like typing it all in again. Just know that I damn near died. Journal tells it all

Currently downloading betas that were sent to me while I was absent. Will get back to you on my reviews of them tomorrow. I certainly hope you guys weren't slacking in my absence.

Sorry for the dbl post, but I felt I absolutely had to say something about iCardoids and Hagarens Betas while they are fresh on my mind.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hagaren:

DUDE!! WTF!! Where is my black screen with text saying homework is a bitch and you are lazy? I wants it back because your beta would be epic with it.

In all seriousness though. The beta is awesome. After several rewatches I personally think it's about ready to be finalized. The beginning I think is fine and set's the mood for the rest of the video. I was a little worried at first because it looked a little slow but it transitioned nicely into the faster part of the video. I'd say keep it as is and send me a final. Beta is the shiznit
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
iCardoid:

As I was downloading this beta I kept thinking, OMG!! OMG!! This is gonna be awesome, but was a little worried at the same time. Because I knew the track this beta was being edited too was hailed as the best track in the first CascadaThon.
After watching the beta the first time, I felt somewhat dissapointed. The video was really slow and a lot of the zoom transitions seemed really off-beat. I need to go back and watch it again, just a sec-------------------------------------It looked like it was.....how do I put this......forced? I don't know. I'm not trying to be mean by saying these things, and everyone here on the org knows that I rarely say anything bad and they also know I tend to sugar coat everything, but this....I just can't dude.

So, here goes. No hard feeling dude, I just gotta say what I think of this, but still give valid criticism. And the verdict:
I don't like it. The video itself or rather the scenes you chose were just really really slow. Maybe I was spoiled by the editing to the track a year ago, I don't know, so you can take this with a grain of salt cause this might seem or rather might be a little biast, I'm not sure. On top of your scene selection being slow, the quality was very diminished in some parts of the video like at: :24, :26-:28. And then from Time-code :10-:12 it looks like the scene was slowed down something fierce. The whole video just seemed really slow.

If the other editors disagree with me, then you guys can feel free to talk to me about my opinion and tell me what you see in the beta, cuz I'm not seeing what you guy's are seeing, sorry. Like I said, I'm not trying to be mean, this is just criticism, and I honestly can't give a good rating to this beta.

One more thing, I would honestly suggest going with a faster paced scene selection with this song while still maintaining your theme.

I'm known to sugar coat almost everything I review and I'm not known to give harsh reviews, but I do want the best for this MEP and I care about the tracks AND the editors that are involved in editing them, and I want to help bring out the best for their tracks. So, please don't take offense to this crit.

If you still want to use Kanon for your source, that's fine, just fasten up the pace and use a bunch of different scenes that make emphasis on that. Cuz in all honesty, this track looks very forced and those zooms made me cringe. Or if you want, you may choose another source. It's up to you. I want you to put out your best. Maybe it's just that Kanon is naturally too slow for the track you are editing too and for the theme you are trying to accomplish. I don't know. Just a little guess work.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And that does it for my reviews. Sorry if it sounded really harsh, I just want iCardoid to do the best possible job that he/she can on this track. Especially with this song. So, if anyone has any problems with my review, then please feel free to let me know your concerns and I'll be more than happy to address them with you. Even You iCardoid. Like I said, i wasn't trying to be mean, I just couldn't sugar coat it this time.
