New FF8 Villian Video - My 2nd one ever... fun.

Hey, this is the 2nd video I ever made (the other I posted was the 3rd, and the improvement is enormous, but the improvement of this one from my first is also enormous...) and thought it might be a little embarassing I thought I'd post it because it is still my work and I would Loooove some feedback and constructive criticism.

It's an FF8 Video (yes, right now I have primarily FF8 FMVs on the computer, so I'm limited, and at the time I was in love with FF8) which was initally dedicated tothe women of FF8, and became more of a villian video. It centers around Rinoa, assuming she does become Ultimecia-- the final villian of the game, and also plays of the other evil sorceresses. I think the song fits really well, and the video does have it's moments (mostly towards the end or at transition periods in the song) but overall it's not great. I'm curious, though, what in particular about it makes it not so great and how I can fix said things. I still enjoy watching it, for the most part.

One might also note the ending... I liked the abrupt ending, but my boyfriend thought it would be coo to attach the FMV of Ultimecia's castle (with sound) to the end of the video, that it was creepy. To be honest, I'm not sure I like it but I put it on there for him. I'm curious what you guys have to say-- should I have gone with my inital intuition and left it out? Or do you like the addition?

Anyhow, if you have a moment please check it out <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... 3">here</a>. Thanks a bunch!

Rinoa as Ultimecia...yeah I've heard of that theory...I've never played FF VIII though, hell, never even played past FF VI

So AMVs are a vicariously way to "experience" this I suppose...anyway your vid seems pretty cool, so I'm downloading it right now.

Just finished watching it...well done! Nicely edited. A good four stars. Might be a while before I do a real opinion on it, since I tend to handle giving ops in batches. Definitely worth the download.
