Yu-Gi-OH Gx Amv

[Shi Loh]

Hey there. ^-^
This is my first amv in like 5 years. I did "game music videos" before and i have to say I really loved working on this.
The character here is Zane Truesdale from Yu-Gi-Oh Gx. (does anyone even know him anymore? : P) I based off this amv on him and I really wanted to include his story.
I hope you like this and feedback is gladly appreciated.

I think your editing was generally pretty capable for the minute or so I watched, I thought your cuts were generally good, I liked the use of flashes. There's definitely some editing skill here.

However, and please don't take this the wrong way, this is meant to be constructive: the video quality was painful to watch. I don't mean metaphorically as in "gee this was a bad AMV." It's precisely why I complimented your editing above. I mean that the visual quality of the source actually caused me physical pain and I had to stop the video. Here's why. The resolution of the video file is 1080p. And I have a 4K monitor. ...and the original source was clearly 480p or less.... and then further cropped to take the 4:3 series down to 16:9. This means you've got pixelation the size of postage stamps across my 4K monitor. With watermarks and subtitles. And then on top of that you've done the speeding up of the footage and the flashes (which I liked as editing decisions but further muddies up the visual quality here)... and... Migraine.

As resolutions get bigger and bigger and pixels on monitors get smaller and smaller starting with a native resolution clean source, or using prepping techniques to upscale 480p up to 720p or 1080p in a way that looks as clean as possible, is absolutely necessary before you even start loading your source onto the timeline. For an example, consider my remaster of Robot Girl, where I took rather substandard 480i (i for interlace, which is alternating frame lines, so you get a combing effect, p is for progressive, or no such effect) DVD source and using filtering techniques brought it up to 720p. It isn't perfect, but it is far more watchable than it otherwise would be in 2018.

Audio/Visual: The original source material wasn’t the greatest quality. It was pixilated and there was distracting text. Also, I didn’t like how the majority of the scenes were sped up quite a bit; this, coupled with the lip flapping at double speed, made it very distracting and hard to become engrossed. Perhaps next time choose shorter scenes, or go frame by frame and cut out doubles. It will speed it up without causing that odd look. I did like the song you chose to pair this with and thought that it fit well with your sync and visuals.

Synchronization: Your sync work was good. You had an interesting mixture and variety effects that you implemented to accentuate the various beats and shifts in the song. I’m not sure what program you use, but some of the effects looked a bit rough and could have been smooth and blended in better with the source material. The timing of the effects was excellent.

Theme/Story: I haven’t seen this anime but still enjoyed watching this. It was a good character profile AMV. Nice work.
