i just absolutely loved this. It reminded me of when i would watch AMVs that were just screenshots back when i was in 6th grade...
wow...and such a wonderful message! The ending was just fantastic. You have a really keen ear for music and the flow of it.

Yeah, I expected some people to be fine with the length, and others to find it boring. It's a conscious decision on my partFizziks wrote:Others are going to disagree with me, but personally I thought the length of this vid was fine. It's an enjoyable video, with an interesting and well-executed concept.
Glad you like it

I'm surprised you are the only one that mentioned the message. That's another thing that I think is dying in amv'swow...and such a wonderful message! The ending was just fantastic. You have a really keen ear for music and the flow of it.
So this brightened my day

Re: Just Pictures [AWA Expo Best Artistic Endeavor]
I really liked this one when I saw it at AWA. Can't wait to watch it again. Sadly it's part of a list of a few hundred or so vids in my queue right now that I'm gonna be DL'ing and watching, so it'll be a bit before I can watch it again.
Either way, I thought it had great mood and pacing. In a way it reminded me of earlier AMVs and I really liked the 'moral' of the story.

I might have to rewatch this when I'm in a better and attentive mood but I did find myself not being gripped by it and my attention wandering off while it was playing. I thinkt the length of the video played a part in that but maybe there was also the expectation of something a bit more fleshed out in terms of the visuals. When I saw your announcement banner with all the photos with white borders on them, I thought that the video would have a similar style to it (this being images which aren't just flat and oriented in traditional angles). Ah well, good effort though.

The 'moral' of the story was an idea that came to me when looking through a friends photo album.
@Infinity Squared: Fair enough, although I must say that if you do pick it up again, you gotta watch it through to the end because...

Re: Just Pictures [AWA Expo Best Artistic Endeavor]
one thing i would like to add is that I have taken that message to heart and am now looking at pictures in a different way, especially old photos of friends and family. I was rummaging through a photo album of my parents from when they were younger, and just about to get married. All the places they took pictures at, like fishing spots, the basketball team my mom was on, ect. I really stared trying to think of what they talked about, why they went there, did my moms team win? What were they talking about? ...it blew me away. Thank you for giving me a new way to look at pictures. You already know i really adore this amv and the message, and I wish more amvs had messages like this.
And the picture you posted. Totally me. 6th grade and now too!
