I think Arigatomyna hit the nail on the head. I should've ignored the post and moved on. You havn't seen my earlier works so you don't know that I am new to this. I only took exception to the point that I threw random clips at a song. I didn't. I took the time to go through and find clips that would fit the best (it was a difficult song to work with, but fun). My comments were out of line and I guess seeing a blatant review like that was a shock. But that's how it is I suppose. Usually one expects some good comments, and once again Arigatomyna had the right idea. Constructive criticism works better than outright harshness. Next time I'll take Arigatomyna's advice and just not worry about it. I realize that I kinda tread on those who really work hard for their vids, and this turned into a flame war kinda thing. I only want to see less flames for the newer editors who don't have all the newest editing skills, and more helpful hints on how to use programs better, and where to use effects.
And as for the passage with Phade's AMV making thing. I didn't make this to look cool. I made it because I like anime.
Once again, sorry for all the trouble I caused. I hope all the editing experts out there can forgive me.
First off, don't get all "I'm a lowly n00b" or whatever...one thing I dislike on the .org is people getting all haughty about their skills and whatnot. We all do this for fun and it doesn't matter if your work is "OMG Awesome" or what...if you're having fun (as I said), it's a success no matter what anyone said.
As for reviews, yes I agree...even if I dislike a video, I will give CONSTRUCTIVE criticism in hopes that it will help them. Hell, you should see how lengthy my reviews are. So yeah, you're right in this, you have the right to CONSTRUCTIVE criticism as opposed to outright flames.
So in conclusion, there is no "right" or "wrong" way about it. Dont' give some of us big heads about our abilities...in the end it's all trivial and all about having fun. Someone who makes a Linkin Park/DBZ video and has fun is the same as someone who makes a video with 10 series, massive compositing and effects that has fun.
At the same time, what I was getting at is that you came across really mean towards those of us who take more pride in our work. Given, you've apologized and I accept that.
So all is good
