2:1 OPS!!! Read Rules...

Postby kenisama » Wed Jul 01, 2009 7:29 am

Seeing as how I seem to have sooooooo much free time where I'm at right now, I figured I could spend some of that time looking at AMVs... which I'll end up doing anyways, but at least this way I can get some opinions on my new vid. So for the first 5 posters I'm willing to OP 2 of your vids for OPing my one:


Of course, here's the condition, at least one of your vids you want me to OP has to be in the following criteria: The song either has to be face-paced rock (or something that'll get my blood-pumping) or comedic in nature (hopefully ROTFLOL), otherwise, the other vid can be anything you wish.

Like I said, first five will get the 2for1, after that, I'll decided if I'll continue with a 1:1 or just stop all together with the thread.

Thanks in advance,

Kenisama

I had reviewed yours already on the Unlimited thread, so does the 2:1 still apply? XD Actually, no, I'm kidding. I'll stick to my unlimited:1 deal, since it's only fair that AMV-editors have to suffer through watching just one of my videos. XD It sucks that That's What You Get When You K-ON! isn't getting more opinions, though. Hopefully someone will see it. ^^

Cool! Okay, just warning you in advance, this one is a visual mess, but hopefully the audio is okay and with any luck, the narrative is understandable.

Well, since I only have one video that qualifies for being fast-paced and/or amusing and I just happen to like your K-On video anyway, how about a 1:1 for this one...



I'll get yours done sometime between work in the next coupla days!

unx16, your OPs are done!

Also, I probably should have mentioned this before, but I'd really appreciate it if you're more honest with your opinions. I mean, really let me have it! Otherwise, I can't really learn from any mistakes I have made. Nya-chan's already stuck it to me, in the announcement thread, and it's true... I was lazy :wink: and it's not going to hurt my feelings 8-)

On the flip side, I do appreciate everyone who has commented on my vid, good, bad or indifferent.

So keep that in mind when I OP your vid Otohiko, plus, you only need one vid that mets my criteria for the 2for1, so go a head and post another vid for me to OP. I'll get working on this one.

Sorry for posting here again, but I wanted to clarify something. I am being perfectly honest with my opinions, so there's no need to suspect flattery. The reason that most of the scores I give are so high is because I haven't been making AMVs long enough to know what someone is doing "wrong". To me, unless there are drums pounding in the background and that's synched to someone walking or standing or looking cool, or the camera is doing somersaults, then I really don't notice anything bad. : ( I'm also confused as to what someone does "wrong" as opposed to what the creator chooses to achieve a certain effect. (such as scene repetition) Eventually, as I become more jaded I would probably give harsher opinions, but as of now I'm a fresh face to whom everything is new and wonderful. ^^

My previous post was in regards to the amount of detail put into an opinion, there was nothing necessarily wrong with any of the opinions received on this video, I just prefer to see specifics I guess. Because when I do an opinion, I really take the time to study the film and well... give my detailed opinion on it.

And when I mention spotting out mistakes, I'm talking about maybe scenes that just didn't fit to a particular part of a song or maybe a fade or transition I did too early or too late. Especially since I've been attempting to make vids for quite some time now, I'm trying to get the best possible work out there that I can make, after all, I've been stuck on WMM for while :sweat:

Okay, understood. ^^ Yes,you really do give a detailed opinion, and for that I'm thankful. ^^

And when I mention spotting out mistakes, I'm talking about maybe scenes that just didn't fit to a particular part of a song or maybe a fade or transition I did too early or too late.


Yay, a rubric! ^^ It helps when the other person knows what you're looking for, thanks. ^^

Aside from the lip-synching, which I think I already mentioned,
01:41: Fade to "I'm sure you've heard" was somewhat long for the lyrics.
01:45: Final scene of the girl with the guitar outside didn't really work with the rest of the movie that had them playing on the stage or inside the building. Personally, I think that the previous scene with her strumming the guitar works better.

I've seen plenty of great AMVs on WMM, but I can sympathize with the lack of technology. : ( The cropping and masking thing that the other programs have is just mind-boggling. For now I'm happy with green screen. XD Does WMM have those options: Picture-in-picture, or green screen?

As far as I know, WMM doesn't have those options... This project however was my first time using Sony Vegas Pro 8, which does have PIP (not sure about green screen) and cropping features. It just when I was attempting to use these features, it didn't look very good, so I just focused as much as I could on timing and making a short, fun video.
