Maybe join RDS? :O
Then she'd have to stop editing altogether :roll:

sigur rós in credits \O/

anyways, pretty flowy video with some nice cuts and effects usage and well-implemented, relaxed motion. the streaks get somewhat annoying after some time and the masks should have been rotoscopes to more than just stills but overall pretty damn good.

7.9/10 ;p

EDIT:
also, was referring to efflorescent dawn (vns titles never disappoint me ~_~)

I really didn't dig Efflorescent Dawn at all, partially because it felt random and muddled to me, but also because I hate it when I realize I don't know how to spell a word.

Timeless was much more something I enjoyed. Though Venus Hum should really look into getting a better lyricist.

hmm

I partially agree with Inthesto on the randomness of Everescent dawn, but I still enjoyed it for its editing and sentimental values. Enough that I probably would've given it my vat guest award had I remembered about this one when I was trying to think of something to give it to ;p (I ended up not giving it to anyone >.>)

Now Timeless is beautiful in its composition, but I really did not like that singer >.> the song itself is fine, but her voice just bored me to death.

however you get automatic win just for using Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora

awesome anime.

Timeless bored me after 1:30. I really wanted to turn it off. Ok so I watched it until the end and it draged on and on and on and on... wow =/
Well ok it´s not my song so I give you 3.6 for it. The beginning with the guitar was nice. Reminded me of a rpg game =D

Efflorescent Dawn... well to be honest: I expected less.
The intro was imo smexy and a nice font =D Someone learned to use fractal noise, right? ;P
Ok it´s randomn, but it´s good randomn stuff that entertains and has a pretty nice flow. Uhm I see some stuff that would need some colour correction to make it a better overall, but yeah all in all it´s 4.75/5

Late post is laaaaaaaaaaate :X

So yeah, finally the time to comment properly :

Efflorescent Pwn : You've definitely improved effects-wise, but as has been mentioned, the use of all these over-used, classic beautiful takes away from the soul of the video. In addition, though you really varied the segments alot, the editing just felt too... Square, almost like I could tell what was coming. The video's a nice foundation to build on, but don't forget what got you here : Original scene selection.

Mimeless : I liked the idea of the story, liked the combo you had, but all the fades drive me freaking CRAZY everytime I watch this video. It's annoying, it's repetitive, and it could be easily varied with some cross-dissolves or something. A fade was originally meant as a scene-ending transition, and a cross-dissolve as a scene-changing transition. Here, I didn't know what the hell was going on after a while. And then it was like happy ending, what? This may be just me, but I couldn't keep up.

Well, as Ben has said, I can't wait to see you try something different now
