Mystic

I'm a little at loss here. Not sure if Vertigo or this one is better. Both videos show your
original style of setting mood. I see the sense of this video in conveying mood and emotions in the most abstract way (well, the emotions themselves are pretty abstract). Maybe it has some connection to events you experience in your life? Well I wouldn't know but one thing is sure: I really like your style. It would be great if you made some more videos like this but I'm afraid that they would start looking like enhanced copies of themselves. Anyway, keep up the good work.

The only problem I had with this one were effects in the beginning which seemed a little out of place. Maybe some of the flashes in the middle too.

Great video, as your previous one. Excellent quality, great work with the effects, on-spot sync, and most of all atmosphere. Not the exact definition of "mystic", but an awesome job

I like your audio choice a lot.

4.5/5

H264 in avi? It was great though. Some really interesting effects and scene selections. It all looked very clean. Not what I expected at all and that's good since the anime source is used quite a bit. Glad to see a new take on this -- I liked the music as well.

4.5/5

Oh, yeah, x264 in avi is a fail, especially with my codecs xD Had to make an avs file to watch it xD

you know my opinion about your AMV ^^

I realy like it , more than Vertigo whish is already good !
There is a deep ambience and a feeling of faintness after I've watch it

Good job chief keep on doing AMV like that !

Thanks all =)

CrackTheSky: Thanks for you comment ! Yes we can say it's random, the objective wasn't to create a storyline, only to express emotions. Of course what is showed here are images ! lol.

ScorpionP: hmm, a style? I don't know that, I like to change, it depend of my mood ^^ Thanks to you, glad you like the video =) If you like a rather special style of video, I advice to you Shepherd amvs who are greats !

bombush: Thanks for your comment, it is very interesting ^^
I don't know if I will to create still other videos in this style, but if I do this, I think maybe I will proceed differently to don't start looking like enhanced copies of themselves, as you've say to me. =)
Thanks bombush !

Funky-kun: Thanks, glad you appreciate ^^ And thanks for your QC which gives pleasure =)

blaku92: Yes, the video is encoded in h264 and it is 60Mo, I am conscious it's great, after many tests I've constated a difference of video quality, I've prefered to increase bitrate, to me, the visual quality is more important than weight of the video, obviously I pay attention at don't to exceed some limits.
Glad you like the video, your comment is a pleasure =)

Rusher: Thanks friend =) I will soon stop to smoke, be careful at your previews

:p

heh I was actually much more into this than I was into vertigo.
just that there was a good amount of off-synch due to a minor frame delay and the x264 in avi bothers me, make a pure mp4 next time.

on the bright side, I enjoyed the relaxed flow which coorporated well with those blurry particles/rotoscopes and the glows. nothing too fancy but integrated well with a few exceptions.
I still say that much more refined effects would help the overall thing, awfully few details in them.
anyway, good work nonetheless and now I'm hooked up on that artist ;p

8/10

Ooh. I liked this very much. I loved basically every aspect of it, and I'm so going to hunt down this song artist. O-o'

4/5
