That reminds me. There were lots of Code Geass vids this year...

What Troy said as well, but honestly guys, for those that didn't make it into the finalist list.
If you truly want to improve, pay VERY CLOSE attention to the contest this year and see the quality of video that made it into the contest.
Try to match your video to that quality, do a little better, and chances are you'll get in, or have a much higher chance of getting in.
Thats how I did, thats how my brother does it, and so far it has never failed us.

I would WAIT and see Rider's new video before making that kind of statement.
its like me saying the lord of the rings books are stupid and the literary equivalent of Valium, yet i haven't even read them at all.Niotex wrote:If possible I'd like to ask some of the judges [if possible] for feedback on the video at least.

a good way to improve is to also, have people beta your video. get people to watch your amv and critique. make the changes you feel are good ones and do it again.
creating an AMV is lilke writing an essay, freak if you could write a stunning essay on the first draft you got talent, but chances are this isn't the case. revise it multiple times and fix up the errors.
i guess lastly, and probably the hardest part, is to improve your technical skill. video editing is not easy. take some free time and learn some new techniques or even some motion graphics.

Nio's one of the best editors I know and I'm also surprised he didn't get in. I was also confident in my entries this year as well.
