Sorry for the long wait. Okay, here we go:

Descent of Darcia
The opening of the vid really pulled me into the video. Parts that I really liked and stood out to me were: The axe being swung down at the beginning when you showed the title of the video, the parts around 1:07 ("I wanna watch you bleed") 1:30 ("My serpentine") 2:33 (the parts flashing between the present and past) 3:26 (the lights in the sky really fit well with the music playing) 3:43 ("You're gonna die" with the wolf baring it's teeth was probably my favorite part) and of course the 'explosion' and floating eyeball at the end :)

Only thing was that sometimes the flow felt a little off. There were times when the video felt like it was going too 'slow' for the song. The scenes you chose were great, but a couple times it felt like they dragged a bit for the fast paced parts of the song. All of those instances though were pretty short and picked back up quick enough that it wasn't really distracting.

I have uploaded another Darcia beta. Its address is the same as before, so it doesn't matter if you get it from the other link.
Darcia's Descent
This version has quite a few changes. I've changed and re-arranged the credits, added a strobe effect to the sequence where the title used to be, added a few scenes and generally polished the vid.

Castle, glad you liked the vid. Maybe the scenes I added fixed the places where you thought the vid dragged. If not, try and let me know exactly which scenes still seem slow.
In addition to the scenes you mentioned, here are some of the ones that I really like:
>"If you got the money, honey"- gives a whole new meaning to that scene
>The scene where Jagara is looking right into the camera and giving her toast, set to the words "Welcome to the Jungle"
>"You can taste the bright lights, but you won't get them for free."- the menace in Darcia's eyes and the fright in Cher's is a classic, imo, though many people will probably miss it and think that it's a "dragging" scene.
>The reaction scenes of Cheza in the acrtic battle at the end. There's one at the start, and another when Blue gets landed upon. (This second one may have been re-positioned since the last beta.)[/quote]

Gah, sorry about the wait.

But, I have downloaded the newest version of your AMV and I didn't find any dragging parts this time so it's all good.
