I had a good time making this AMV, the only hassle was when the video was 95% finished I lost interest in it. It was just not fun anymore and the project was put on ice until it was settled that I was going to Närcon (http://www.konventsbilder.se/folder/show/343). And that they would have a AMV competition. Pulling myself together I added the last scenes, called it done and submitted it. D-day came and it Won, what do ya know!? I was suprised to say the least (voting done by judges). One last thing, during the ending of the AMV when the music faded away the room we had the screening in went utterly silent (no talking or applause). Just the way I had planned it would be, that made my day :3

Ah, såg den på närcon. Inte den jag tyckte skulle ha vunnit, men den var okej.
Tyckte början var skaplig och gillade de första 30 sekunderna eller så.
Sen blev den precis som vilken the girl who leapt through time amv som helst.

lite små tekniska aspekter jag störde mig på:
- aspect ratio problem.
- opassande framerate (23,97 eller 29,97 hade fungerat bättre).
- Frame-blending, pga opassande framerate.
- rätt grynig kavlité, en h.264 kådning hade nog fungerat bättre - samt DVD material.



Grattis till vinsten dock,
det finns potensial.

This was a really good amv. I don't really understand the plot that you set up, but I was definitely interested in it. The first time I watched it, I paid very close attention to every single scene in order to try and figure out what was going on and why Belldandy occasionally showed up. But even after watching it twice, I still have no idea LOL.
But even so, this amv is AWESOME. Some of your fade ins could have been a tad bit longer, but overall, your editing was really good. And Also, I had never heard that song before, but it was definitely a good choice for your amv. And I really like how you decided to end it.

I give this amv a 4.5 out of 5

Tack tack! Jo jag fick en känsla av att det här inte var publikens val :sweat: ljudet lät ju också riktigt dåligt... Nu får man tycka precis hur man vill och jag hade nog röstat på beautiful breakdown som vinnare, vilken tyckte du var bäst?. Personligen tycker jag inte att den (Refade) är så jätte mainstream då AMVn inte handlar om tidsresor etc. och har en egen story.

Jag ska lägga dina tips på minnet och kolla upp den där encodingen. Ursprungsmaterialet är från DVD och det ser lite utsuddat ut för att jag inte använde så mycket sharpening i avisynth, skulle ha kunnat göra det skarpare men jag gillade hur det såg ut (filen blev ju liten också) :wink: . Den där frameblendingen du pratar om kan jag se på ursprungs DVDn också. När jag körde ut AMVn som progresiv såg den jättekonstig ut så jag körde interlaced som jag sedan tog bort det mesta utav med avisynth. Jag trodde också att PAL hade en framerate på 25fps!?.
Det hära med aspect ratio problem, menar du hur "utsträckt" videon är? Isåfall ska den vara rätt för DVDn är i 16:9 vilket AMVn ska vara i också.

Jag ser värkligen fram emot ditt svar, som du kanske har märkt är jag ganska grön vad gäller sådana här saker.

Thank you! The plot took quite some time to think up and making it vague but still comprehensible was one of the bigger challanges i faced. Verdandi (Belldandy) has her role and I'm confident you can figure it out (think "angel" :D ). Lains apearence is also part of the plot but only I can possibly know how she fits in :P .
Using the time counters to express something different than timeleaps etc. was gr8 fun and I found out that "syncing" slightly after or earlier than what would be normal (or not syncing at all) made the cuts more interesting.
To me the ending is extremely important to the story of the AMV. She comes to a closure with her issues, there's a way out of it. Life moves along and she know how to tackle it. It's clear but still vague in nature.

Beautiful breakdown skulle, enligt mig, varit den vinnande videon. då den inte bara var tekniskt bättre, utan även hade mer/bättre kännsla(åter igen, enligt min åsikt.)
Du skulle nog ha låtit bli att scripta den över huvudtaget skulle jag nog säga.
och angående frameblending, det är något som ser till inte finns där efter du gjort din lossless fil. Men som sagt så hade du ju lite problem på den fronten.
PAL i grunden, i vanlig filmproduktion, är 25 FPS. Dock när det gäller anime, brukar det alltid vara 23/29, beroende på om det är NTSC eller inte.

aspectratio problemet var mitt, hade 4:3 på min spelare.

jag rekomenderar stark att du läser guiderna!
a-m-v.org/guides

där kan du lära dig en hel del,
lycka till!

Niwa-kun Jag tar det som en komplimang :P
ZetZu Då tycker vi likadant om Beautiful breakdown.
Utan script vore inte en bra ide men skulle nog ha gjort den annorlunda, till nästa AMV ska jag läsa guiderna (vissa iaf) :book: URK! Tack för tipset

Det är lite störande just nu för jag har ideer till AMV-isar ( :? ?) men ingen Anime som passar. Vad göra?
