Hm, i'm on the line here. The usage of external effects, masks, text were all pretty good. But at some parts it was like "..that's not right ...".
Just a few things:
-A blur would of been better to move into the dream thing.
-Those black bars u used didn't really work for the action part ... using a tv simulator to move the picture around might have worked better.
-You should have used a flash or something more obvious to synch with the bass beat.
-For romance ....that was just sort of annoying.
-Hentai ..WTF! you ruined a perfectly good hentai scene. Same applies to the hentai as the action. Bad bars and random shapes! :P
The song was ok, footage quality and what not were fine.
-Again, a fade into a scene with konota waking up would of been better, instead of the house. And maybe use a sound effect like when you take the needle off of a record when the song ended.
-Then the outro ... you just picked a random transition didn't u? lol. Would of been cooler to so something like have it close as if you were turning a TV off. OR something :S
Everything else was pretty good :up:

You have pretty good editing skills, good ideas, but work on what you put where.
3/5

I dont know what i could say. It was not bad but hm, i dont know what was for me not so good. I think this Part with Promised Place with the long time when you jump from one to the others, that was a bit to long for me. But i like the effects and the style. i give it 4/5

fdklshfnhla whoa wasnt expecting that hentai scene. Now chii's childhood innocence is destroyed ;___;

I highly agree with some of the comments above, you should add something in the video description about the hentai scene. While im sure Konata would probably dream about that, some people dont find hentai that pleasant to watch =\

As for the video itself, it was alright. It was edited alright but it seemed to be lacking something. Maybe if you had replaced that hentai part with a different genre id've enjoyed it more. The song didnt rly help.

3.3/5 - Well edited, but i dont think ill watch it again

Done.

Looks like a good suggestion.
guy07 wrote:-Those black bars u used didn't really work for the action part ... using a tv simulator to move the picture around might have worked better.
I tried a bunch of different effects, they all were more or less out of place... Only a change in general approach could really help, I think now...

Not sure. Maybe.
guy07 wrote:-Hentai ..WTF! you ruined a perfectly good hentai scene. Same applies to the hentai as the action. Bad bars and random shapes! :P
I like it anyway! :P
guy07 wrote:maybe use a sound effect like when you take the needle off of a record when the song ended
Can`t see any reasons for such an effect. I don`t hear any needle scratches when I wake up after a dream. :wink: Everything just suddenly ends. :roll:
guy07 wrote: turning a TV off
TV? Why? Again, no reasons for TV.

guy07 wrote: you just picked a random transition didn't u?
It's not exactly a transition, just a shrinking square mask. Its first purpose was to hide the subs. Then I finally got unsubbed sources, however, by that moment this way to end seemed to be quite right. So I only adjusted the animation and was happy.

The text was good? :D I received several severe complaints about text design.


Judging by comments in general, I have great troubles with reviewability again. Gr-r-r, this is something not easy to improve.
