Limit 7 Videos

Quality videos prefered because I really don't like torpedoing videos but, I will if your video sux. I try not to pull punches I'll tell you what you did right and where you went wrong if I can. I'll tell you now I prefer Intelligable Videos. Action Videos are usually really hard to critique because generally they are the "allowable" excerption to the random scenes to music rule. It is really hard to do a good Non Random Scene Action vid. I rather stay away from heavy rock/metal songs as well because they are usually quite unintelligable to me.

I could really go for some good comedy romance or drama videos at the moment so try sending some of those my way.

I have 3 videos available so feel free to take your pick as to which one (or ones if you so choose) to OP

in no particular order:

[vidid=156470]

[vidid=156498]

[vidid=157130]

Cheers

After reading through your conditions I sympathise with what you are getting at and I do agree - doing those kind of reviews is not easy or very enjoyable.

However.. My video does seem to violate one of your conditions - it uses what can be best described as progressive "metal", but to be perfectly honest it is actually quite a lightish rock song with an interesting lyrical theme and flowing solos. Try it out and I'll leave it up to you if want to Op it, I don't mind if you choose not to ^_^

Your Saikano video caught my eye so I'll download (terrible broadband pending) and Op asap!

Certainly an intelligent response to my "conditions" Which weren't really strict per se. However comma, They are preferences. I usually screen for AMV contests so have had to sit through countless crap videos. and just wasnt in the mood for that right now. So I thought I'd try to thin out the mix a bit...

D/Ling your vid now but is nap time so may be a few hours B4 you get your comment.

Cheers

Ok your Op is up. Sorry it took so long... I tried to be thorough. Excellent video overall if not exactly my particular cup of tea. on a 1-10 if i were prescreening this I would have given it a solid 7 maybe even an 8. This is the kind of video i like to see in AMV contests.

Who's next???

You are no pest, friend. Just an intellectual with a pinning for quality AMVs. Those who screen videos for contests have both my pity and my sincere gratitude. After all, if not for their hours spent enduring gigabytes of fodder, what would they show at the AMV contests? :)

D/L "Concrete Chise". I'll have an op up tonight after I've had the time to watch it a few times.

There is nothing like a moonless night to watch a few AMVs.
