hehe, yeah 8-)

Orwell wrote:Too long for such small variation in the music, but good nonetheless.
Well, without the intro/outro, it runs for about three and a half minutes, which I thought was reasonable enough without editing the song, but you thought it was good nonetheless, so thanks ;)

Warheart wrote:Haha, I love this song one of the best Death Angel songs thus thumbs up for the song choice. However it was easy to notice that you had problems with the lack of footage especially during the solo in the middle since you slowed down there, altough I would've kicked in there even more. Well that's the problem if you work with that movie. Other than that awesome editing as always, fastpaced and awesome flow. I love this video even if it has the flaws of lacking footage and thus randomscenes and sometimes just scenes that didn't fit at all.

You need to edit more Bay Area Music.
Thanks :) Yeah the movie is barely 50 minutes, so working around the little footage was difficult. When I hit the solo, I did in fact kick it up some, but then I realized "oh crap, I'm not gonna make it to the end, even if I keep the current pace!" so I had to slow it down some there just to have enough for the end. But it seemed to work out though :D

Kadaj665 wrote:Sexy stuff. Finally someone who edits to real music (though I should top whining and do it myself for once). The worst part of the video was pretty much the solo.. Someone would totally pick up his editing there, but it just seemed like..the slowest part. I understand there was a lack of footage, but I'd suggest doing something similar to the border thing you did in the ending there, it would look cool.
Anyway, overall, 7/10. And I'll be watching you.
lol @ real music... sweet 8-)
I was thinking of doing something there, but I also considered that a slowdown might not be too bad a thing, and just focus on some of the gore scenes [actually, I'm pretty sure I used most of the blood scenes right there] so extra blood might take away from the on-screen blood... if that makes any sense whatsoever.
anyways... so you'll be watching me huh? <.<

Not like I wouldn't have anyway...
Indeed.


blaku92 wrote:Ha.. yes I've been waiting for a good Halloween vid. I have to agree with Warheart -- I was pumped in the beginning, but then the fun footage seemed to run out. I liked the effects during the band/zombie-in-the-dance scene. It made it interesting although not much action was going on.

4.5/5
see my response to Warheart.
and it's a vampire, although it doesn't look like a typical vampire... same difference :P . I'm glad to hear you found that part interesting.

glad to hear it^^
purplepolecat wrote:Awesome pacing, nice use of effects !

Until now I was unaware that Death Angel did anything after "Act III". Nice to see they're still around.
Thanks :) and yeah, there was a reunion. Really fun band \m/

mycathatesyou wrote:Yay, nice shakes. Iz enjoyed it. 4.3/5
Excellent, the shakes were a fun effect.

Bauzi wrote:Why are all the Halloween amvs with Blood
Probably what Warheart said, it fits the theme of halloween quite nicely.

Greggus1 wrote:The good : Cool editing.

The bad : What everybody else already said, and add to that the linearity of your story.

The ugly : The credits were underwhelming. Can't believe you didn't think of using the same blood border you used in the end for each little box.

Overall though, fun watch.
Glad you liked the editing.
story? come on now, you're giving me too much credit :P
haha yeah, I guess I could have done that, but I put together the credits for the hell of it, just to give the amv a lighthearted feel.

Edit: That was a very cool vid, I liked it. I Especially liked the ending, you did a pretty good job, nice... 4/5 Cool
Thank you very much. That ending was fun to make.

Bauzi wrote:The amv itself is nice and well done. It has an interessting style.

4/5
Glad you liked it. Yes, I was going for a different style here. Mainly I just bastardized my own movement curves with Magix.

hahaha that was crazy in general, the song was crazy (but cool at the same time) and the editing was crazy as well, lots of camera movements and stuff, I ended a bit dizzy to tell you the truth @___@. I agree on the guitar solo part, it kinda dragged down, even if it showed more tension than the rest of the vid. I really liked how you ended the vid :D

4/5 good stuff as always :up:

Good Lawd that song was terrible. Sorry...but yeah, didn't like the song one bit >_< Still, I'd definitely call this a fun video to watch. The editing was interesting as can always be expected from you, and I loved the intensity and fast cuts every which way. Nothing spectacular, but definitely a good Phan video :up:

4/5

wait a sec :uhoh: I thought the girl was the last vampire? Didn't they explain that in the movie? It's been way too long since I've seen it.

4/5 good stuff as always :up:
...and I probably coulda made it crazier if there was more footage, so I settled for that camera movement thing... which I think produces a new feel in itself, and I might incorporate it more in other vids.
the ending took more time than I thought it would, but totally worth it :D

Thanks.

They totally didn't explain anything in the movie :(
I think it was supposed to remain a mystery, and when I searched around, there were a lot of different opinions on it. Most people agree that Saya is the last <i>true</i> vampire... as for what that makes the other things... um... non-true vampires?? :uhoh: -------->
http://www.digital-retribution.com/reviews/dvd/0520.php wrote:Saya, a vampire hunter, is sent undercover into a US military base by a clandestine American agency to seek and out and destroy the vampires that are hiding out there. And so follows lots of bloodshed and violence with Saya gruesomely dispatching the fearsome creatures left, right and centre.

This is the very basic premise of this anime release from Manga Video. The anime is startlingly good, it has to be admitted, and the audio is vibrant and powerful. Sadly, though, it's ultimately all hot air. The story doesn't really involve the viewer and it seems rather more like an excerpt from a longer film as it runs for a relatively short 46 minutes. There is no explanation as to who Saya is, or where she originates from. The only clue given is that she is the 'last original', and from this we assume that she is vampiric herself.

The story itself doesn't dig deep enough into how this situation has arisen, with vampires roaming the earth that need destroying. It's a bizarre little film indeed that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Some reviewers believe that the 'vampires' are little more than symbolic representations of the American presence in Japan. A strange view, but an interesting one nonetheless.

This is all high-velocity entertainment with very little substance, but it's an enjoyable ride even though one is left feeling a little dissatisfied at its conclusion.

Hated the song as well, but the editing made up for it. Only complaint was that it felt a little long and a bit repetitive. Definitely still good stuff overall. Nice work. :up:

Song kinda ruined it for me as well, but it was a good video overall.
