Just for funsies (and because Lantis isn't here to do it this time, heh), I counted up how many videos there are for each season. Summer just barely beat Winter for most popular. Poor Autumn got only one video all to itself. :(

Summer - 16 (53%)
Winter - 15 (50%)
Spring - 9 (30%)
Autumn - 6 (20%)
All four - 5 (17%)
Two seasons - 3 (10%)

some fun stuff comin out of this. I'll remind every judge that when thinking "Idk why this video was inspired by a season" there are comments on each vid for a reason. :bzz:

For the record, I watch the video first, then I read the comments... I wanna see if I get your video before you explain it to me.

While I can appreciate the "show, don't tell" rule it was easy, for me at least, to lose focus and not give some videos my full attention just given the number of videos, repeated sources, etc. I think the comments helped me at least have something to look for when watching.

I don't know if you can judge someone's use of theme based solely on how readily apparent their concept was. Not for those that went off the beaten path a little bit, and especially because these videos were made in a week. Works of art they are not.

I'll just say if you wait until after to read the comments, I sincerely hope you are watching these more than once.

Video 1:
Spoiler :
Editing was ok. Cute video. Too many white crossfades. I would comment on it more but I feel like people already addressed everything worth mentioning. Good effort, keep it up.
Video 2:
Spoiler :
Don't know how to feel about this one. I like that it's not mushy like most other entries but at the same time it's kind of..strange. Idk I guess that at the end of the day I enjoyed this vid a lot more than some of the other entries :nose: I hope this gets you a spot in the next round, I would like to see how you deal with the next theme.
Video 3:
Spoiler :
K-On cuteness. That's about all it is. Doesn't really stick out as anything special, editing is decent but bland. Next time try to make the editing a little more dynamic :up:
Video 4:
Spoiler :
Everything is well-edited but its biggest flaw is not being longer. Draws you in but lets you down hard. Good video though :nose:
Video 5:
Spoiler :
Didn't particularly like this one. It was edited well and it'll easily make it past this round, but I just can't get it into it. I can see why everyone liked it but in my opinion it's a bad mix of song/source. Good job, nonetheless. Props for trying something original despite only having a week to edit.
Other notes: 1:03-1:10 is bland and the sync is kinda strange. Could've easily gone without the "falling girl" scene :( .
Video 6:
Spoiler :
One of my favorites from the round, not a fan of text in amvs but the feels make it stand out :up: Editing is simple but effective. I would elaborate more but it's not necessary for this one.
Video 7:
Spoiler :
Pretty cool. The plot (could have used "sadder" scenes) and sync needed some work but I like it. Paco's comment covers it pretty well :P
Video 8:
Spoiler :
I like the song choice, didn't like the editing so much though. Seems really rushed :?
Video 9:
Spoiler :
Watched it and didn't get it. Read the comments and I get it now...but the plot is still a bit weak and the video as a whole could have been a lot better with a bit more effort. Though to be fair, one week is not enough time to perfect a video. With that said, it's still one of my favorites from the round. I like the mood of the song and I think that Kara no Kyoukai fits it rather well.
Video 10:
Spoiler :
Good stuff. The letterboxed clips were really distracting, they pop in and out randomly and the video as a whole would've been a lot better without them. The dance scene at 1:15 was amusing but it was dragged out a little too much. I also found that parts of the video progressed rather slowly and didn't really match the pace of the song as well as they could have. Take 1:54-1:59 for example, the clips look amusing enough but they seem randomly placed and ill synced. A little more sync would have definitely gone a long way. The lip sync was good for the most part so that's a plus :nose:
One of the better videos of the round, for sure. Good job :up: I look forward to seeing your next video as this will easily earn you a spot in the next round :3.
Video 11:
Spoiler :
I agree with Paco, the editing is a little bland. That said, I really like this one cause of the "lazy" aspect. Got super lazy just watching it...which is both good and bad haha. The editing was simple but effective enough to get the point across :up:.
The start of the song reminded me of Trigun, love that show :awesome:
Working on the rest.

The official number by my record is 30.
So how is it with backups this year, btw? They can't get thrown in now, because it'd be clear which vid it is, but advancing straight to R2 would be weird too, right? Are they already in?

I have watched the videos as much as I felt I needed to. I'm not going to argue about how many times I need to watch a video in order to "get" it.
