Pretty good editing, but I'm not sure about your clip selection. The song is about being there for someone else, but the video is almost entirely clips of Makoto running. I really like how you closed it out with the drumroll leading into that last jump, though.

Nelhtarion, do you know about the vidid tag? It fills in the video info automatically for you.

Re: 2Q12 (Quickening R1)
Hey thanks for the comment! I know there is a lot of running (the movie itself involves a lot of running) and I am a little self concious about that 
but I think it was my attempt at keeping the video dramatic during such a fast paced song and in the end I actually like the fact that it is kind of a "Makoto Running Vid" as I myself like to run a lot and lately I have been thinking about this when I do. I seriously doubt I look as epic when I run though 
I suppose the meaning of the song is up for interpretation, and although I think our interpretation is similar, I do think that my selection of clips fit pretty well with the meaning of the song.

I kinda like the interpretation xD It was fairly unique and it was fitting to the song, oddly enough. xD My complaint is both the running scene that dragged on forever and the repeated scene in 2:12. xD
The editing style feels a bit. . . unpolished but I definitely like the uniqueness of it
Good luck making it to round 2!
