Loved Safety Dance, Nichijou had a lot of scenes that made me laugh and rewind, and this vid had a lot of the same. Loved how you transitioned between scenes. I actually didn't realize how many dance-y scenes were in the show. I have to disagree with Yue about the title text from the opening, I don't see any reason to remove it.

You For Me, however, I have to agree with Yue on. It seemed like too much lipsync and too little to drive the vid home. Crossdressing voices isnt always a bad thing, but it was kinda jarring here. I did like the photo effects, however.

OMG! Old school FTW! I am VERY old school and Safetly Dance made me feel like I was watching an 80s music video for some parts.

I liked the 2nd one as well. Great concept! The male lip synching was a but creepy tho.

Safety Dance is simply awesome, period.
You For Me... not so much. I get the feeling there's lipsynch for the sake of lipsynch. Plus, lipsynching a male character to a woman's voice feel awkward.

Thanks. :)

Thanks :)

Thanks again, thats generally what Beta testers I had were telling me regarding the text.

I wanted to get up and groove with it. Definitely will keep this one in my mind for VCAs. :up:

/ghets other one
Haha, Thanks :D

Thanks, the majority of the dancey scenes came from the openings and the little commercial break things. Thanks for the feedback on You for Me, I really didn't realize how strange the crossdressed voices would appear to some people so its definately something to keep in mind for future projects. :)

Glad you liked Safety Dance and thanks for the input. The lipsynch in you for me really was in there for the sake of lipsynch since I tailored it to a person's particular taste who seems to love all kinds of lip synching.

Got to agree for the awesomeness of Safety Dance. I do compare it in mind alot to Ileia's video to Aristocats with another version of the song, and I think I like hers a little better. Still, very good job.

I did like You For Me as well, which is propably what I would have voted for in the Romance category if I had a vote. A thing I can't get over here is the song though. (As a general note, I watched your editors spotlight at AWA, while they were all really nicely edited videos, Safety Dance is the only one I've seen from you with decent music :awesome: )

Safety Dance should has some notice in intro... "Highly addictive :!: ". Totaly awesome.

Second vid... I've the same opinion like Kosmit :P

I loved the Saftey Dance video! It was fun with lot's of good flow and transitions, Having myself edited a video with nichijou recently I can say you did it justice. :up:

As for the second video, I didn't like it as much. The thing that bothered me the most was the lipsynch.
You can lipsynch pretty well, but hearing the same singing voice come out of multiple characters is highly distracting.
(I know you already explained this...)


I also saw you at the editor showcase, wanted to talk to you more because you've got some pretty cool stuff! but we never got the chance I guess :(

overall cool stuff.

I dig.
