First Acemans "Daydreamer", now this vid :O I really need to watch Koi Kaze, before I'll know whole series from the amvs :S
The vid was pretty nice, but it seemed like you forsaken a part of the flow for the sake of more typical "slow romantic approuch". For example in 01:16 - 01:31 the music changes drastically - it's much stronger and more split into fragments, yet your vid is almost the same as in more peaceful part before (only the running provided some more dynamics to that, but this was just a second).
Similar thing can be said about scene changing - it seemed a bit off at many points, more synched to the time of lyrics, thant to actual instruments. A good example may be 01:00, where you waited for the word "champaigne" to end, instead of starting to change the scene.
Now more about the good parts - I absoluitely love how you handled bridge starting at 02:57. The idea of splitting screen to show both of them = good. The effect starting at 03:05 - another neat thing, since you handled both the melody and the background. Masks at 03:13 to make the scene of them sleeping together more subtle - very moody. Generally I must say, that I like the second part of the video (from around 02:20- end) better, since it's more dynamic and more dramatic which fits the music perfectly.
Still, even with all the technical drawbacks, this vid was quite good romantic vid with well done mood, so It's more on a plus side and I like it.
3.9/5
You did a really nice job portraying the characters' emotions, so even though I haven't watched the series, I still felt like I was able to connect with them. You know this already, but I lurve the scenes at around 3:47 - 4:10...cute stuffs. :3 And of course, The Formula kicks ass. Nice work, Gina, I really love this video.
