Happy Thanksgiving ya'll!!

I was so tempted to have people beta test this video because I was mega conflicted, but I've never had people beta test my videos ever, I hate it, and I knew it wouldn't be any different, so this is my "surprise!" So here's my latest video. I'm a tad nervous about this because I'm fully expecting the majority of people to be on the edge with it or dislike it completely, but it is what it is. One of my issues with creating a "serious" amv is that people tend to take it "seriously," whereas all my other videos people are just like "coo" because I was like "coo." But basically this is an animeMUSICVIDEO, or a music-video type video with anime. You can read more about all my inner turmoil in my description. Also you like my poster I made in 10 minutes?

I'm pretty excited about my credits though since it's my first time doing those, so if that's the only thing people like then at least it was something.

I'll upload a 480p version later. I would link a youtube version but when I uploaded an unlisted beta version I got a copyright strike. If anyone can tell me how to avoid this that'd be great!

The vid itself is good, didn't expect less from u anyway when u put a bit of effort in your works. Scenes from the actual music video don't bother. Maybe just too much linear, didn't really see any differences of intensity in the vid.
But tbh, I hate the song so much that I can't like the vid

Ho and I really like the outro ;)

Definitely the best anime mix I have seen in a while. The atmosphere was so beautiful and same with the overlays and touches. Loved it very much! Amazing!

So good ;_;

I can see you put a lot of thought into the transitions (glow effects). Great work there! Also, the lack of crossfades was appreciated.

Coulda used a bump up in saturation in some of the scenes, but that's okay.

:up: :up:

Amazing video editing tbh, loved the transitions and subtle effects, it all blended amazingly well, including the outro. Don't know the intensity of emotion you were going for, but it felt soft and kindda positive, just like the song.

Loved the video. <3 I've always liked your edits in general. And this one's my favorite, although the amount of SAO in it really sickens me, but that's just me, so don't take that into account. :'D

Thanks! (: It's funny you mention the saturation, I actually purposefully added a dusty effect onto the first 3/4 of the anime clips to kind of help with the film-y effect, then let the other quarter go free when it hit that 'climax.' I don't really like it either the more I watch it, but oh well haha.

Lol am I supposed to know that video? >>
I don't really think I improved so much as this is a different style of video I just spent more time on haha. Dunno what you mean by "vertical transitions."
Thanks cecco! and lol don't laugh, my struggle was real ):

Soft and positive would be two words I was definitely aiming for, so I'm really glad you said that. Thank you!

I enjoyed this quite a bit. I liked a lot of the transitions from the video to anime there was one i didn't really think fit but the rest i enjoyed a lot. All around good job :D

And if you ever need a extra beta tester i would love to help with any future vids :) (I actually quite enjoy beta testing)

Stopped watching after a Minute... I don't like it when people use footage from the videoclips of the songs. Destroys the whole mood.
This could've been great.

This was a really nice video and message. You spared no Hugs and Kisses in this one.

Technically, you had some really good transitions with the lens burn effects. There was a particular section I really disliked, the way you incorporated the anime clip into the real footage at 00:47-00:49. What you get is 2 interesting clips struggling for the attention. I would have used a generic georgeous scenery going in and out of focus in place of the real footage.

01:59 - 02:04 - The lyric is really powerful - "you're my backbone, you're my cornerstone", but the scene selection is weak. Could do with something much stronger from 'Kids On the Slope'

Overall, great uplifting video, well done.

Oh I've had an idea for this song planned for a while! XD Just waiting on the source to be released, anyway the point is your mood matches exactly what I envisioned for this song. Soft, positive, hopeful with a tinge of sadness fits with this song/video combination perfectly and I really liked the integration of the music video (though some might argue this ruins the AMV) because the original MV had a very warm colour palette that matches nicely with the mood of the song. Your idea to use burn overlays also helped blend the two together pretty well. I do think at times it was a bit strong (a bit too orange and bright) and some scenes I didn't quite agree with (just didn't fit as well as others) but those are minor issues.

Overall really nice! I've always loved your editing style because your cuts are so perfect, they're so smooth and just kinda...meld the video together. I don't really know how to describe it other than the fact it makes the video really nice to watch. It's easy on the eyes? xD It's like our eyes are being swept along in some sort of flow/direction without too much strain/effort. The jist is, it's nice. XD Keep up the good work! :up:

I'll just quote the stuff I agree with and add my own input after:



Should've stepped it up a notch and call it G4 :awesome:

Pretty much sums up most of my thoughts on it. One thing that I didn't really like was just the flow of the feeling (This sounds really gay in my head), but I guess its like... I couldn't feel the flow of feeling the scenes matching the feeling of the song at certain times where its happy, sad or like indifferent (I dunno). I guess the best way to describe it is like I saw the happy scenes with happy scenes and sad scenes with sad scenes but like... no transition going from happy scenes to sad scenes or something like that... Which is just a personal opinion on my part but its whatever :P

Spoiler :
I know you like to edit your own thing without so much care put into like what other people will think about it so I know like my opinion ain't gonna mean much but I like giving a little critique here and there :3


Other than that, I really love your AMV. Very nice effects, good flow and spot on feeling. :shark:

i really enjoyed this video, and it's probably my favorite video that i can think of integrating music video clips. there were a few scenes or so that felt oddly placed (eg 1:34,), but the scene (& anime) selection overall was really on point and made this for me. on a first watch some of the music video scenes seemed a bit dragged out but after reading the description and understanding what you were going for i was able to get into it and i think the a/mv balance was nicely executed; it also took a second watch to get into the song (and aww phillip phillips is so cute). videos with this kind of mood and atmosphere make me want to open up a vegas timeline and start editing. nice job :up:
