I was finally able to download this video! This damn dial-up will get me to the grave someday
I agree with N0OB - it really feels like light hearted,warm vid ^^ Scene choise was... Well.. It's a movie,so I guess I can't say that you've used overused scenes.. Then I guess - the real downfall of this vid would be - teh lip sync
Not saying that it wasn't good - it's the opposite - lip sync was good enough (though few places seemed really like an old dubbed kung fu movie lol),the thing is that lip sync killed the mood for me
I was watching those fun scenes,like them playin' baseball and stuff,and then they suddenly start singing - pretty much kills all the mood for me...
If not the lip sync (I started to dislike them after my own huge failure),I think I would give this vid a perfect 5/5,and maybe even a special spot at my favs lol ^^ I still keep Broken Hearts in a top ten
4/5 - pretty fun GWLTT vid

Was expecting a LOT more, especially because I LOVE Americans. Of every Girl Who Leapt Through Time video on the .org (and I think I've downloaded them all so far), this one made the least sense. There was no story or anything; the scenes were completely random except when they happened to coincide with the lyrics. It was somewhat amusing at times, but on the whole I just failed to connect with it on any level, and found it to be very uninteresting.
2.5/5

Well, that was kinda the point, but seriously? have you seen Otohiko's?CrackTheSky wrote:Of every Girl Who Leapt Through Time video on the .org (and I think I've downloaded them all so far), this one made the least sense.
But yeah, this vid wasn't made to have a deep story, or to show the trials and tribulations of this girl. It was for me to have fun with.
The point of this video was something fun and different. I mean seriously, there's a point where the girl's lip syncing, and breaks into laughter before she can finish up. There are tons of cuts that are made without an accompanying beat. The girl falls for an entire 30 seconds at one point. A few of the clips are purely metaphorical and symbolic, and were chosen for that reason, other were picked becuase I though it looked cool or funny.

Sky I don't really know how you can expect much depth out of this based off the song choice....or how you can attack what was a blatantly fun video like this. What serious AMV has a girl getting wtfpwned by a shoe in it?
I also don't understand how a video like this can even come close to being trashed (well not trashed, but have negative attention brought to it) while fucking Skittles gets rave reviews...if I'm totally missing a deep underlying theme in that video, please, let me know cause I seriously just don't get it. And in no way am I attacking Skittles at all, I actually really enjoy it....but we all just accept it as a fun video. That doesn't have a point and neither does this....they both just have fun scenes that are intended to make the viewer smile and get some form of enjoyment out of it, and really, what more do you want from an AMV? (or at least one of this nature)

I understand this was supposed to be a fun video...and in that respect it more or less failed because I wasn't having fun watching it. Skittles entertained me, because the scene selection was perfect throughout - in conjunction with the music primarily. That video has great flow from one scene to the next. This one just...doesn't :/ The lyric sync is too random and overall the video just has a random feel to it.
Note please that random != disorganized, which is the problem this video suffers from.

Well, I enjoyed, and I laughed at several points throughout it. I don't really understand why people are complaining about the scene selection being too random (though it is indeed random), because I understood it just fine. But then again, I have a rather random mind. Overall, I thought it was an enjoyable and funny video, though at the slow, (intentionally) overly dramatic part my attention wandered a bit. 4/5
