About the Editing : The start was a little too flashy 4 me. But u get used to so its np.
The whole Video is in a dark atmoshpere. Nice Color corrections !!
I like the style of effects : dark colors to pure white ! This is what matches the song very well.
Good use of the movements in the scenes.

Why should u stop using that programm if u can do such nice things with it ??

The Place Promised In Our Early Days, 5 Centimeters Per Second and Air in one video? Looks really depressing on paper :up:

I wish it was slightly better though. The beat sync is what you're dealing with quite well. Unfortunately the fade-outs felt somewhat too heavy for this video and as you hit a lot of beats with them, it turned out looking more like a technical achievement rather than an emotional one, which it should have been. Your concept was based more or less on this song, I take it? Rather cheesy, but who cares? As long as it's emotional, as long as it works, I don't care =P Anyhow, your concept was nice but this video didn't really go deeper than the surface, I'm afraid. It's the heavy visual beat sync that killed its emotional levels :O It was cool and sorta emotional to watch though, and the sources were quite well chosen (although I have to agree with using Voices of a Distant Star instead of Air)

Nice work though. Just keep in mind that while there's nothing wrong with beat sync, it has the tendency to kill an emotional atmosphere in a video ;) 3/5 :up:

This was unfortunately, a very big unoriginality boom, for three reasons:
1) Using very overused anime
2) Using very overused music
3) Using very oversued effects

I have seen all of those in many videos already and I just couln't ignore it.
On the other hand flow was pretty good, and I think it went well pretty much all the way. But you were trying to sync to every possible beat, and this thing by itself stopped me from enjoying this video more...

Not too bad, but, said in a weird way, it's too obvious and predictable.
3/5

*glomps*
I was wondering while watching it "where did Air come from" and yes the AR seemed wrong somehow. ^^;
I don't think you needed all the piano keys in it either.
But it's still a nice video I'm keeping ^W^

This is like, the absolute definition of unoriginality. I'm not even talking anime/song choice, the concept was just so cliche and boring. Also, I felt that the video was WAY oversynched, and the effects, while toned down in amount compared to your last video, were just cheesy and ineffective. You know how to beat sync in a technical sense, but you just overdid it in this video and whatever potential emotional pull it could have had on me was lost because there was just so much going on.

Also, how did you mess up the Beyond the Clouds aspect ratio? All the sources are 16:9, you didn't have to resize any of them from their original ARs...kinda confused on that one.

Personally, I think the problem with this video and your last one is that you're just trying to fit in way too much. This could have been effectsless, and it probably would have been better. You could have toned down the sync, and it probably would have been better. You probably could have done away with at least one of the anime sources, and it would have been better. There's just way too much, and for the kind of video it's trying to be, most of it doesn't work.

2/5
