I swear I only have one Elfen Lied AMV left after this, and only because the idea (a comedy) popped into my head and I couldn't resist.
First, the poorly-rated and much hated effects galore action-drama:
Now, we really liked this video, but it hasn't gone over very well due to "too many effects" which supposedly "distract from the story". Bah, I say! Hopefully we'll find some people who like effects-to-emphasize-the-music. With such a prominent guitar riff, it felt important to focus on beat synch, but we still worked hard on the story. Honestly, I think we did a great job on it for the most part...
Moving on to the antithesis, our only-cross-dissolves-and-overlays-because-that-seemed-big-at-AX entry, the slow and disturbing (heh, Disturbed) emotional drama-drama:
Haven't gotten any feedback on this one yet. Note that it has major spoilers, and uses completely different footage than Inescapable so don't worry about overlap.
Hope you enjoy, and constructive tips are always appreciated - always want to know how to get better.

Funnier or less poorly chosen of a title? I will assume EL is on par with DBZ/Linkin Park now. Gotta get used to the forums, eh?

Re: Inescapable and Unusual Animals [More Elfen Lied!]
Thanks. I really like what we did with the first one (honestly don't like cross dissolves and most AMVs we see are only cross dissolves) but it hasn't gone over as well with others. I should probably learn an effects program like AE so I have access to better effects but I'm afraid of how much time that will take. I think part of the problem is nobody can understand the lyrics of Stricken so they don't notice the footage matches them so well, and also since I put all those clips there I know what they are and don't get confused by the effects. Anyway, we went simpler for the second video and that seems to go over better.
Why did you think the name "unusual animals" was supposed to be funny? It wasn't intended to be funny, I used it because Kohta says he loves unusual animals and Lucy later dwells on that line and takes it personally.
