its a pretty short beta, but from what I can tell so far...you have the sync and rythm down.

um, holy shit?!!!

I think, just my opinion though, you should put the effort you did from your logo into the rest of the vid...

But ... whoa...

Definately liking it so far! The "AMV Contest" opening is a little long, IMHO. ^_^

If you're going to letterbox, black borders would look nicer.

why always black ?? all people use black letterboxing
i was trying to be original

Even if it's original, the white is just too bright for a border that's there through the whole video. It draws too much attention to the border instead of to what's going on in the video, so black is generally a better colour for a border because then you don't notice it as much.

Actually, colored letterboxing is an interesting idea. You could have dark blue for a sad video, dark red for an angry video, etc. It would have to be really dark though, bright areas attact the eye so a white border is all kinds of trouble, people even dislike borders that flash white.

But hey man, originality and experimentation is what it's all about, no doubt about it.
