Anubisxx - I see the pictures (I'm using Mozilla Firebird) and all I can say is I feel your pain. I don't know what it is about the region 2's but theres no amount of proccesing that will make yours as good as that. It's darker, the colors are of and the contrast is lower. But most importantly it's blurry to the point where a lot of the details that can be seen in Otohikos version simply aren't there anymore.
Otohiko - I love the demos, awesome work. As for the song I really like the rythem although I don't care for the melody in the first minite for some reason. The rest of the song is awesome and I can't wait to see what you do with it. As for the second demo The effects on spike might look better if they were on the background. Is there any way to change spike's expression/posture/anything at least once (twicew would be ideal) when the music jumps to a higher pitch. It could be subtle but it would make it a ton more life like.
aznRAVEr - if you wanted to emphisize the portrit idea you could put up some kind of border. It would have to be subtle though and not distract from the video. As far as tweaks, the only thing I would suggest is to be very carefull with your use of black and white. Try to find a specific purpose or meaning to it's use and limit yourself to that because you use it so much it's impact is lessened, and there's places I couldn't figure out why like when everyones cheering. The part where she wresled the dragon had to be my favorite use of that effect in that video.
ooshna - I did! I love betas so it's always a thrill to see a new one go up. Other than interlace and compresion artifacts the video is turning out very well. I love how you use fades almost like an instrument to mach the violin. And the motercycles fit perfectly with the faster paced theme. You also did a good job with the back and forth, building tension. I really like where this is going. It's not telling a story and it's not action but rather it seems to potray the music visually. keep it up, I look forward to your next beta.
