Stand in the Rain

[Anicsi]

Had the video quality been better, this would have been truly epic. It was well edited, very atmospheric, and fits the song's mood very well. The small audio touches with the bullets firing was very nice. Also, it was a very unique combination of anime to say the least. Also, the part with Shirley from Code geass and the part around two twenty just about made me cry.

Definilty a keeper on my part, but like I said, I wish that it was better quality, and the few watermarks would have been better removed or cropped out.

Thank you very much, I am happy that someone thought it was good, hehe ^^
Yes, I really do have this quality problem, I don't know what to do about that: FCE is not a bad program, but the export options are horrible. Forget .avi, .mp4, and everything, the only one that is okay is .mov. However, I will get a file of about 300 MB which is (of course) too big to upload it here --> Needs conversion.
So to get a file < 100 Mb, this is what comes out. I know it is messy and I am very sorry for that (it actually breaks my heart to see it .-.) but I haven't discovered another option yet.
Hmm, yeah, the watermarks ^^" i didn't notice those in CG and I didn't do a proper job cropping out the others, you are right.

Well, I can't really agree with code to much here. The pacing felt incredibly off to me. I think you really tried too hard and wound up over editing the video big time. I like the idea a lot, and this is one of the few instances where Ef didn't bother me too much. So that's a plus in any case. The pacing just felt bad to me throughout the video tho and it really killed it for me. The song edits were a bit iffy too.

I think I'll have to stick with ShadowNos's video to this song.

Hmm, well what should I say? I am okay with your criticism (thanks for letting me know) but of course I can't really agree to that. If I could I would've noticed it right away (that my timing was off).
There's actually only one scene that felt a bit awkward to me (concerning the pacing), but maybe I get what you mean when watching it again in some weeks from now ^^

i actually enjoyed it. if the quality was better it wouldve been a better watch.

the ending was a little off. shouldve slowed it down more

other than that i liked it. good job =)

Thanks ^^ (concerning the quality, read above xD)
Yes, the ending was mentioned before, I agree with you in a way.

Overall it had potential to be much better, in my opinion.

Some parts were kindda odd. Per example, the Air fotage usage at arround 1:48 was kindda of a mood killer, too bright and in no way as dramatic as the song suggests. Ok, it was actually 0% dramatic. The video was also kindda oversynched near the end.
That said, there were also pretty nice parts and the video overall had a pretty nice mood.

3,5/5 lawl

With some quality and editing (audio editing included) fixes, it would be a pretty good Amv

Oh yeah, this AIR scene, right xD Pretty much the only scene that was a bit extravagant and don't ask me why I added it, because (as you already mentioned) it doesn't fit the mood at all. I accept this without objection
Could you name the time/scenes that bothered you the most (concerning the oversynching)? I'd like to review it again keeping your advice in the back of my head ^^ I don't think I will edit on it right now, but maybe I will go over it again in some months.

@Burningleaves & Knowname: Thanks to both of you

I felt a little lost in the beginning, then you started hitting just in time and it was so cool that you can even forget the creepy quality

a little overcharge in the ending, I barely notice it was allen the one playing in the background, and until the second time I watch it

4/5 way to go!

Arigatou! I really need to solve the quality problem (though I've no idea how in the world I am supposed to do this xD) and I think it is possible that I will take a closer look at the ending! ^^


Thanks to all of you for taking the time to watch and comment on it

I actually just watched the download (my previous comments were on the preview which apparently throws sync out the window) and yeah, I can see what the other posters complain about... but whatever.
Perhaps I just like it cuz it reminds me of Silver_moon's 2003 video, Visionary and I yearn for the good 'ole days whatever...

It's mostly everything arround the last chorus:
02:24 to 02:34;
02:42;
02:52 to 02:55.

The problem with most of this parts is that sometimes u mix so many stuff at the screen that it gets hard to understand each scene.


Yeah well, i hope u do upload a fixed version of this

I see ^^ Thanks for letting me know. Well, it is just quite hard to pick up an old amv that is supposed to be finished. I guess I need a bit distance first... I will try to keep my next video simpler ^^
