[Connichi 2012] Addiction & +1

[JadeCharm]

"Jade is accouncing a romance-video!"
"WHAT?!?! WTH shall we do with a romance-video?!"
"ehhh..."
"those things are always boring and kitschy..."
"but this one is a little upbeat..."
"...keep it. they are all the same"

...I should go to bed now. It's too late. No good things happen after midnight...or was is another time?...dunno. gn8

ahh wait I nearly forgot the +1

I like ur romance AMV ... it's something new in the category and still JadeCharm-style. :3
Just upbeat is borring.

Absolutely love it. Perfect synch, great story, great use of effects, catchy Song, interesting Anime, highly rewatchable. I'm glad you tried this. Good Job! I think i need to watch it a couple more times but it's probably among my 2 favorite AMVs from you. Definitly my favorite AMV from this years Connichi.

I had enough for today with Madoka, so I'll comment about Addiction:

While in the combination anime music, I felt it so-so, as an AMV it worked
But... in its mood, it didn't inspire me anything, although seeing this style is something fresh for the amount of slow-paced romance videos. This was probably thanks to the song's choice
It's like I can see the pairing and your intention, but I still don't see it as a romance. Not much deal since I also tried this idea with this song:

Now returning to the video: The first part
The video started to get interesting after the minute 1:20. In the final part, It hooked me up

But yeah, It's not funny to start watching the same style once and once again. For an 'experiment' it was good enough

Tanja, my little Knuspermulle :3

After seeing your video on the big screen at the Connichi I didn't feel much. It was a nice AMV and it got me fairly interested in the anime. Apart from that it gave me nothing though, so I thought I should try to watch it in a calmer atmosphere ... without wearing pants.
Unfortunately that didn't help either :<. It just is an AMV which is well edited with a romance anime and a 0815 "love song". It was very refreshing to see you editing a romance AMV but for me it lacked any feeling. This is either due the upbeat nature of the song or the anime lacks any real drama/romance.

Anyway, like I said, it is a good video and I'm really impressed that you tried something new. Next time you make a "serious" video, you have to make the big bald guy cry though. I'm pretty sure you can manage that :3

Lapskaus pretty much hit the nail on the head as far as my opinion accounts for.

I don't think it was Poorly edited but I'm inclined to say it wasn't perfectly edited either. Anyway, on topic, I felt like it was a good try to mix but, cause I'm more use to romace AMVs being slow 'n stuff, I couldn't completely get into the AMV, Despite how well edited it was.... A for effort

Taking Chances: K, that was sexy color correction x) At first watching it, I was skeptical about that color correction but, after watching it, the colors really got me addicted. Wasn't a big fan of some of the beat synchs like the one with Kyubei or whatever that white dog's name is but, other than that, totally loved it.

. . . Anyway, your editing style never ceases to amaze me and I love how you experiment with your choices Sexy job Jade!

the concept is good, from the middle of the video the music you asks a little softness in the transaction, but accelerate it a little and that means that the connection you opaque.
good work

...maybe I should try watching AMVs without pants some times too. I'm now curious if that would make some difference in some cases
OK next time I will try harder and I'll be sure that the big bald guy will cry

Not sure if it's a dog...but Kyubei is correct ^^

Addiction:
It's definitely very different from your typical romance video but it's exactly the sort of thing I could imagine with this type of song. It leans more in the direction of being a drama video because you decided to show the interrelationships between a bunch of characters instead of focusing solely on two of them. I haven't seen the anime myself but from your video I can get a grasp on how they all feel about each other which is pretty nice in terms of conveying a story.

The technique...while it's a good thing to experiment with a new style, it does tend to get old after a while especially with a 3 minute long full AMV. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to this kinda thing but I like the idea of using stillshots to create movement in scenes when played in quick succession, and if I'm right this is supposed to be called stop motion? I also like the idea of making it seem as if they are watching this like a film they made about themselves, though whether it's their true life story or not is something I'm not sure about. But yeah going back to my original point, I like the technique for being unique but I didn't really like it as much past the halfway mark. Perhaps it was the sharp cuts that made it feel awkward, I'm not sure. In general, the flow felt very broken and after a while it was kinda difficult to watch. I would have preferred some different camera/film technique to keep up with the theme or just some plain softer editing later on instead so it's easier on the eyes. But as it stands currently, it's not a bad video. Just not one I enjoyed very much.

Taking Chances:
Normally I dislike videos with excessive colouring but this was actually really nice. The vibrant colours made the video "pop" out more than usual and the sync is also excellent.

After a long time i must say, i like this. Its different to your other videos and has a nice mood. But some "effects" were a bit to often, it was this shutter cuts, but well hard to explain for me....

when editing this I set it as a goal for myself to use transitions or other soft editing-techniques as few as possible for the main part of the video. Soooo...sorry but I won't be sorry for your hurting eyes
Thank you for always watching my videos and giving an honest opinion! I hope that you'll like my next video more than this one

Thank you very much! I'm very glad that you like it.
Haven't heard from you for a long time. Where have you been?

[Toxical]

DUDE!

This is amazing!! You made it so perectly synced, and I got into the story just by watching it. I fell in love with every frame of this video, amazing job!!

10 out of 10!
