(Special permission from Yue to have two announcement threads since its the end of the year and I needed to release this shit.)

This is my slightly touched-up version of my video I made for AWA Pro this year. Comments and critique appreciated.

was wondering when you were gonna post this. nice video mchy, probably my favorite from you :up:

as for critique, the local download seems to have a glitch at like :06/:07. i tried playback on two different media players but i'm not sure if my download was just somehow corrupted. the pans were generally smooth but at times they were too blunt and jumpy imo. i also think the blurs were a bit strong at certain areas which obscured the scenes and made it hard to make out what was going on. and this is just personal taste/nitpicking but i think brightness/contrast might have been a nicer choice to achieve the glow at ~:49. anyway, this was a really enjoyable video and i feel like you experimented with it. overall you did a great job and i'm looking forward to seeing future releases from you :shark:

I can see why this won best action at AWA! Great scene choices and the rhythm works well through the entire AMV.

Not sure what you meant on the blurs, but glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate the detailed comment. And yes there is an artifact I didn't notice that I'll have to attempt to fix.

This video shows the amount your improved this year and had a lot of good technicals and you achieved a level of intensity to keep the viewer on edge. I really liked the concept because the audio and video sources really worked well together. With that said, the intensity was a bit too high for too long. The usage of clips of the main character in constant battle was a bit unsettling after a while and very tiring to watch. The amount of similarities in clips used, especially the overuse of very close clips of the character screaming, left it feeling like déjà vu at times. Definitely a good base for an action video, but the overall pacing and easing off the throttle some could help this video immensely.

I hate this anime, but the video is so well done!
Lacks in rythm sometimes (Just a few times), but the
synchro is good as usual, coming from you!

4/5

Very good action. High intensity factor, great sync. The only major suggestion for next time would be to try to include a "breather" segment where the intensity is dialed down temporarily. Keeping everything running at "insanity" levels gets exhausting for the viewer, after a while.

All in all, though, great job! :up:

Thanks for the detailed review, I know what you mean about the clips but sadly I think I used every action scene possible in the series, so I'm not quite sure what I could have done to approach that.

This is pretty much my favorite video of yours its all epic action bad assery. I liked a few parts of your unrevised/AWA version better but I think you cleaned up some of the action sequences to have more coherency and visual flow though. Some parts where a little too fast intense but overall very solid.

P.S. And after the revising you did, you still didn't get rid of the one and only major freaking complaint I had was at the end you didn't remove that god damned airplane in the sky. Its right freaking in the center of the screen and it drags my focus to it every single freaking time.

Thanks. That plane is actually part of the secret hidden story. Some angsty dude gets sick of a bunch of bullshit, burns a bunch of people, and then decides to say fuck it and hitch a flight to the Bahamas.
