Wasn't overly beat-centric but still had a good brisk pace and thematic cohesion. Some loose lip flaps that were frankly puzzling considering how easy they would have been to excise, some unnecessary (though thankfully subtle) effects, but most importantly you seem to have some very bad and distracting compression artifacts that really shouldn't be there with the bitrate you've got on this thing. I'm not sure what part of the workflow they were introduced into but it made the whole thing difficult to watch.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your feedback!!!
Re: lip flaps - You say they would be easy to excise, but, um ... do you just mean cutting the footage differently, or is there some other trick? I'm sure there's a tutorial somewhere I should read before editing my next AMV ...

I mean, I know there are ways of manipulating the images, but - uh, well, I don't even know how to use (or own) Photoshop ... ^_^;
Re: the compression artifacts - heh heh, yeah, I didn't even know what a "compression artifact" was until a contest coordinator pointed it out to me on this one. Something I will try to learn more about for next time!
Thanks again!
