/watched preview for Kiminozo
Be prepared, this might seem harsh, so to ease it up a little: I liked it and I gave it 4 stars out of 5 ;x
Quality: It had some real letdowns, mainly on borders (they kept narrowing and widening, which disturbed me) and in what EvaFan pointed out. It's a common mistake, happened to me once in an IC, although nobody noticed, so I was lucky >.>
You'll get it the next time.
As for fades, I was probably only bothered because it was discussed in this thread and I paid more attention to them. I'd say they matched the song pretty nicely and that's what matters.
The lyrics of the promise (you know, the one about the star) were too briefly on the screen for anyone to read them. Also didn't much like the font (but that might just be me) - it's default Windows font, for such shiny thing you want to look up some free font and use it. There are lots of free fonts on net. (Also lots of DBZ on Kazaa, but that's another vid.) The movement of the text was weird too, in such a static scene. It worked for the text after credits (which was a very known quote, still sweet, though), but not here.
The most problem I had with was the storytelling - you just threw in TBHG (The Blue Haired Girl, forgot name, I like Haruka more) in the start, so it seems you wanted to say "He chose TBHG, then he went to Haruka". But this switch was too abrupt, it even seems that he's cheating on TBHG with Haruka to me (O.o). Otherwise it was really sweet and nice and all, but this part just really threw me off. Also the part with the ring - somebody gets the ring, in the next scene we see Haruka without it (so it probably wasn't her - did he just return to TBHG all of sudden? Why?) and then ambulance right away? Did she just commit a suicide? D: It's all kinda unclear.
So, chaotic, bad on the side of quality, but still very nice job on the first vid. I'd like to see this remastered/remade, TBH :>
(yes, I do suck for Kiminozo)
