I really do hate Chad Kroeger's voice. But I won't hold that against your video.

Overall, great editing and effects usage. Though I do wonder about why at 00:37 you applied a strong orange glow to the character mask. It was a little gaudy, compared to the more organic effects you used throughout the video.

Too bad the video is so short, I would have liked to see more! :up:

Excellent use of the Ken Burns Effect and some pretty solid match cutting/transitions. Good stuff. :up:

Also, Welcome to the Org. |:>

OMG! You finally uploaded a video here. |:> :awesome:

In terms of your video, I really like the way that you synced everything. I've actually wanted to make a AMV with this song for a while, but I had such a hard time syncing it and maintaining a good pace that I had to cancel it. So I'm definitely be taking notes from this one :up:

Ahhaha he does have a rather gruff voice, I'll admit. And that effect at 37secs was just me messing about with sony vegas. Now when I look back I wish I hadn't used that horrid orange colour though, it's quite disgusting :'D
And thank you! I'm so glad you like it ^_^ <3

I really enjoyed this. I'm really sad that it's so short though. :(

Still, pretty solid editing and was a really nice piece that captured the song very well. That bit towards the very end (around :49) was really powerful stuff.

didn't like the overly literal "path less traveled" scene, but good job.

YEAH! XD Last time I tried I just gave up. It was a mixture of being too lazy and being too busy with school work (I'm also pretty scared when it comes to treading new ground lol)
Thank you! I'm glad my sync is finally improving >w< And I think you'd be able to make a really amazing video out of this song ^w^ Your style would really go well with it. If you ever end up making that video, I'll be the first to watch it :up:
