Have You Heard? - DarkCrystallis

Well, first time posting here, I've been told it's dangerous but I think I can take it xD
This is my first full amv of the year, been on a long block..so happy finally got out of it ^^

I could say that the video has two concepts in it, since I wanted to follow the idea the song gives out and that is two things: to feel like your the richest person just because you have someone special by your side and secondly, to just be yourself, be spontaneous, you're a new morning, a new life, don't waste it by just copying someone else's life, make your own story. This second concept is the one I wanted to bring out the most, that's why at one point of the amv I tried to capture the selected anime characters in a white room, being recorded while they're just being their natural selves :] I also chose to do it entirely in B&W because I wanted to include clips of the actual music video (which is also in B&W) in it, and I always feel that B&W somehow shows more emotion in certain things.

So I hope you enjoy the vid, and tell me your opinion of it ^^'

Really liked the mood on this one, I don't about having the same B/W setting throughout the whole video, but it definetly added more feeling into it.

Only complaint was the font used at the beginning, nothing too major about it.

oh you finished it Monica : o

/gets : )

Edit : I remember that after watching the beta I told I knew u something like this vid even before seeing it because of the current "fashion" in amv-making with those various using Eroge sources and all that type of stuffs.
You see what I mean I think.
Well, the more the vid progress, the less I have that feeling, you definitely managed to make your own thing, still this is not really different from what I can see every day.
Nice atmosphere, since you use B&W during the all vid, you should have played more on contrast, it would have increased its power according to me.
I don't think the singer was necesary but well, it doesn't disturb either.

Let's say I give u a 3.75 / 5 and that I will watch with a little curiosity your next videos ;)

GAH I KNEW IT! All this time along since I finished it I knew something wasnt quite right, the damn font I meant to change after I finished the whole thing! Left it for last and completely forgot about it..BLARG >_< and afterwards after watching the betas so many times..I got used to the ugly one and...fail :?
but oh well, thats how you learn -.-

hmm yus I think I shouldve played with the contrast a lil more now that you mention it, will have it in mind in case I do another B&W vid in the future :wink: and funny, thats just like the punctuation I myself give to it xD 3.75/5 a simple average going on good ^^' thx!

Thank you everyone for the advice and opinions about it! Glad most of you, despite the flaws in it, liked it in some ways :sweat:
