That's normal. Usually you're lucky if 1% of those who download your video give it an opinion. I'll try giving you an opinion once I download it if I think I can contribute something useful.

By the way, feel free to download my videos (I have a love hina vid too - though my video came out before anyone knew what love hina was)

ACTUALLY I DOUBT YOU WANT ME TO GIVE MY OPINION!

Especially since HALF THE SCENES OF YOUR VIDEO WERE TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM Y VIDEO!!!

I am VERY insulted by this! You didn't even bother EDITING half of them!!!

I understand not having episodes to work from, but stealing scenes/transitions DIRECTLY from another video is just WRONG!!!!

For the ORIGINAL video HALF these scenes came from, go to:

I might not have minded if you had ASKED me. But stealing my work and calling it your own is the sign of a hack!

:sigh: I was looking forward to watching it too.

Oh, and thanks for stealing the ending directly from my video too!

(for those of you who are curious, he didn't just use the same scenes: he ripped it directly from my AMV: fade and all.)

Hey I used footage from lots of souces and that ending was just a basic fade and my vid artisicly way diffrent from yours I can understand if I just re-placed the music and let it run but I put alot in to this vid and Iam sorry if I offened you in any way.

They say "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".

Imitation, however, is not the same as plagiarism.

Best thing to do would be to admit exactly what scenes were taken from whose videos, then pull the video down and never again distribute it.

Umm... approximately 3:30 to 3:40 of your 3:56 long video had scenes directly from my music video ^^;

The idea of making an AMV is taking footage from anime shows/ovas/movies and using your own transitions/effects/fades Not the work of others.

It's one thing to take anime scenes from a video when you don't have any source footage, but to take an entire video including the fades, effects, and MULTIPLE scenes in the same ORDER and claim that it's a "new" music video is insulting to the original creator.

I mean, for goodness sake, the final 25 seconds of "your" video is identical to the end of my video! In the begining you didn't even START to edit footage for 18 seconds! That's 18 seconds that I worked on! Not you.

Then you do a minor crossover effect, and then begin using my footage again.

No, you didn't just replace the music and run it, but what you did for 80% of the video, I could have done by taking scenes from my own video and taking 15 second chunks and moving swapping their locations in the video.

Unfortunately there are hard feelings, since the majority of the work on that video was unfortunately done by me. In the future. I'd suggest taking your scenes from anime, not AMVs.

After all, you wouldn't take report someone else did, change the order of the paragraphs and then call it your own, would you? Even if you added a few new sentences.
