Those were my thoughts exactly. I have so many scenes where they're being very close to each other, but I'm also trying to emphasize the struggles that came along with their relationship, so I need more scenes geared towards that, and that's the part I was looking at.Thank you (:

Rider4Z:
Spoiler :
I really like your beta :awesome: really nice lip syncing.
0:03 - maybe you could follow the beats more? I know you synced it to the "lyrics" but I don't know :P maybe you could do something with it
0:10 - you're a bit late with the beat syncing I think
at 0:13 maybe you could use something else instead of the stripy transition?
0:18 - I think that blur is not nice, it's too short and too strong, maybe a simply fade would be enough?
0:21 - maybe you could put something in the background? cuz the lip syncing is really long and not much happens.
0:31 - is it lip sync? (the black haired guy) if not then lip flap? xD :P


but anyway, it was really nice (except the quality but I guess you know that already xD)

Taite: I also want to see your beta :3 8D

Code:
Spoiler :
I didn't really like the scene selection from about 0:10 until 0:18, and maybe it's a bit too slow :P


Edit:

Taite:
Spoiler :
your track is really awesome so far :awesome: the only thing I could mention is that maybe at 0:12 the hardcut is a bit rough? and that at about 0:05 you didn't hit a beat xD but really, your part is awesome :awesome: :up:

I've sent out a beta deadline reminder to those who have yet to send me anything. |:>

If you didn't receive a PM from me then either you've sent me something or I know you're working on your part or you've told me about personal problems that might cause you to miss the deadline in which case is totally fine. :dino:

Spoiler :
I was looking at :12 too, you're right. I've been messing with that part for awhile, and I might switch the order of the clips up a bit. But I agree, something is off about that part, so I'll be looking at it :)

And the reason :5 doesn't hit a beat is because the flow of the clips was geared more towards lyrical sync. The movement of the clips are supposed to match the rising tones in her voice, leading up to where she sings "to". I'm sorry, I'm not really god at explaining, since I edit by the motion of clips and how they match the pitch of the song, which a lot of people don't understand. XD

But the crossfade between those two clips as well as the motion of them getting closer in their kiss was to match the "to" that was being sung.
I tried cutting it right at the drum beat, but it didn't look or feel right at all, since the scene of the stairwell ended up being too short, especially with the fade-in on it. And the other clip was too long for its motion to match the "to."
But thanks, I'll keep it in mind, since it does seem a bit odd that all the previous clips were on drum beats. It honestly looks fine to me, but I guess it's a kind of inside-joke, since I edit mainly for myself hahaha

Ok, due to having more assignments and class tests thrown into my face by my lovely lecturers, I'll be shuffling the first beta deadline to this Sunday. :| I don't want to do this but I really don't have time to sit down and cut my footage for the moment, at least not until I get all my schoolwork done. I also know there's a few of you who seem to be having your own personal issues so this'll give you some additional time to work on it. :wink:

To those who've handed in a beta on time...well done. :up: :rofl:

Haha but I think it's really good so far! :mrgreen: I like the focus on the beat sync because the intro of Dance in the Dark has really hard beats that would be awesome for sync. ;) There isn't much done for that part yet but for now I'll suggest some sharp fades and zooms/flashes to emphasize those beats. ^^

x2. Some scenes of Alto would help fit the lyrics better and also having Sheryl singing the part that's sung by a guy feels kinda...weird. I'm assuming you're using the movie as your source? Or are you mixing some of the TV episodes in too? Because if you are and you don't like Alto you can add Brera or some other guy from the show into the track too. ;) Just to help break up all the Sheryl and robotic/clockwork looking scenes since it looks kinda random for the moment.

Anyway that's 5 betas handed in on time, it makes me so happy. ;__; Yous just made my gloomy depressing Thursday turn slightly better. XD Good job you guys. :up:

MystykAMV:
Spoiler :
the beginning with the gain and the beats is good ! also the part with the fangs and the kinda "shhhhh" voice was epic ;)
i know it's only a beta so far but what i personally would add and what i think would look amazing too is if you add some b/w clips at the part after vampire grids @ 0:20 which follow the beat alongside the main beat (where you can hear the voices of the man behind lady gaga's voice ) god i suck at those explanations XD

ANYWAY what i wanted to say is ... maybe you could add some b/w scenes in it ... for the main scene choose a Cookie Cutter and make it smooth and rounded. and the 2nd layer with the b/w scenes (beat hitting ofc) below the main scene :3
... ---> just like May's Video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cljTdNx2jxk&feature=channel_video_title @ 1:11 :3


i hope the feedback was kinda helpful ? D:

Oh and btw, if you want me to beta test your vid just ask me in a pm ;) ( that's because my schedule and my exams are killing me atm .___. so i don't have that much time)

Some lucky people will have received a Skype request from me now. YOU BETTER ACCEPT IT. :twisted: Once you have I'll add you to the group conversation which you can use to discuss the MEP/give beta feedback and talk about.....other things if you want. :rofl:

For those who don't have Skype...shame on you. :P
