Re: Before I Go
I felt like you really overused those zoom outs and blurs, I like them generally since they help pick up the pacing for slower static scenes but there were so many and some went by so quickly I had trouble following them so it made it difficult to enjoy the scenes. The editing also felt too consistent, by that I mean it felt monotonous. Like it was always the same pacing, the same feeling. There weren't really any "ups and downs" so it didn't quite flow with the mood of the song. That being said, major props for making a happy AnoHana video. I especially love how you integrated Menma into the video, like she was alive and part of them all along and not well...a ghost. It gives it a really heartwarming feeling, nice work!

The reason behind those zooms is actually really stupid. I was unsure of what to do because the video didn't have the intensity I wanted it to have (the lack of ups and downs you mentioned), so I just started adding zooms to every clip. By the end of the video, I was cringing every time I added a new zoom because I felt I was being too repetitive. Now I know what I shouldn't do whenever I feel the same way 
But I'm glad I was able to make this anime look a bit happier than it is!
