Arashi No Yoru Ni - Beside You

Post by SunAndMoonProductions » Fri May 17, 2013 9:53 pm



Hi! So this is my first upload on this site but most certainly not my first video. I'm pretty excited to be here, I feel like I have a home for all my videos at last. Anyway, I've been editing for around eight years or longer but mostly for Bleach with a rare pairing but I've recently decided to branch out a bit and made this. I just wanted to focus on the relationship between both of these characters (romantic or platonic haha) because their friendship is a rare and beautiful thing and this song just seemed to fit them perfectly. I didn't want to focus on effects and I'm not the person to do that. I'm only interested in telling a story or conveying my ideas or a message through video editing, so this video is a little plain. Just some saturation and a border, a few flashes here and there. I believe that if effects help convey the emotions in the video then they can be used and that they definitely shouldn't be overused. I'm just saying this because I've noticed a lot of people use them here and I don't want anyone to think I'm being lazy or boring. :) Anyway, if anyone has anything constructive to say, go ahead. I'm always open to suggestions on improving my skills.

Hope you enjoy my video! :mrgreen:

That was a pretty good watch, you really set the mood right and it definitely came across. Don't think I really have much constructive to say, except maybe that some of the flashes, though they did fit, could've been a bit less intense and I didn't really like the sporadic use of text. But I never really like text in AMVs unless it's used all the way through, so that may just be me. The border felt quite appropriate actually, which I didn't expect but it works well with the art style. Overall a job well done! :)

Thanks! I'm glad you thought it was good. I sort of have a liking for intense flashes and I used the text because I thought the video looked kind of empty without them. Thanks for your opinion and for giving it a watch, it means a lot! :D

edit: also glad to hear you didn't find the border distracting! I was a bit concerned it might be. :)
