I can't believe you made me wait for four minutes for the piano key effect! Disappointing :down:

In all seriousness, this is a simple enough concept that you carried off well enough; however at times it did start to feel a bit detached from the audio (particularly at the later stages of the video). It felt workmanlike but the lack of focus on it was palpable in how the video played out. I felt the song wasn't a great match for what you were going for, but not the worst.

However big :up: on the use of original series audio, perfectly suited to that point. My only reflection is, why didn't your audio have that punch in it to get the emotion of that scene across?

I think you (and others) are perhaps confused. I didn't take 10 months to make the video. The video itself was made in about a week or two in April of 2007. It just took me 10 months to release. It's been sitting on my HD (relatively unchanged) for that long and I was just lazy.

I know! Now you can release yours (which is already out, but still not the first like mine!)

Yes, as highlighted in my video entry:

I was actually the one who submitted that picture to the MEP (along with two others) and TJ felt compelled to make it a minute long track. He (and other editors) are fascinated by that scene >_>.

Oh yeah, you gave me the opening sequence in R2...the very sequence that has the FIST POUND scene! How could I forget?! Well you're in the credits anyway.

...and I even restrained myself enough to NOT put KING PWOLF in there so yeah >_>

First off :AIMKISSYFACE:...or maybe not >_>

I guess if you see this, what particular sections did you feel the audio was detached from the video? I think I have an idea, but am curious to hear it from you.

At the same time, I appreciate your (constructive) criticism. It's better than some of the quick comments like "ZOMG NARUTO YOU SUCK" :P.

In conclusion, based on what you and Radical Yue say, I should make an entire video to a sappy 80's song that's all piano keys and you'd be happy yes? :P

Fix'd. And yes, that'd do it nicely :P

The source didn't really fit the audio for me, though it did have its moments (namely 2:50-3:40)

3.7/5?
