Methinks you're thinking of the wrong vid, considering this has been essentially complete for about 2 months :wink:

Anyways, as for the video itself, it was a bit slow for me, which kind of prevented me from getting really into it, but I feel that the gentle flow made up for that. For me, it felt more like a video where I sit back and just watch everything flow through.

3.75/5
So you did, totally forgot sorry :oops: Anyways, flow was pretty much the goal of this video, so I guess I succeeded :)

x2

That's exactly what I had in my mind. This video worked backwards; instead of pulling the viewer in, it just channeled loads of random melodrama out. It kinda worked and kinda didn't.

The general flow was very good. You certainly know how to use fades :up: At first I thought the song wouldn't work with this video or Kanon at all, but I was surprised how well you actually captured it by those clips. The whole video certainly made me go through some weird emotional process 0.0 I like that.

But there was too much stuff in it. Instead of focusing on one or two Kanon stories, you just stuffed everything in and it didn't really work out that well. It could have though, if you had split the video into sequences with each focusing on one story at a time, or something like that. Now it's just a linear flow of (melo)dramatic eye-candy with no further emotional load.

If it made any sense, I would have loved it, but now I just like it =P

3.75/5
Pretty much the reaction I expected for this vid. As I said in the description, I didn't really have a clear view of what I wanted to do with this, so I focused on making things flow with the music and the lyrics. Also probably didn't help that for the majority of it, I was rushing to complete in 4 days, burning out so I ended up just looking at scenes and thinking, "That looks nice," and tossing it onto the timeline. I taking a break from it before looking at it again, since I was considering adjusting it to make things a bit more coherent. Stupid loss of the project file kind of cut that thought short :?
ScorpionP wrote:You had quite a nice flow there and the editing was good. My only problem, as mentioned above, was that it seemed like you were jumping between characters a bit too much, which made it look kinda random...

Overall, not bad, but not too re-viewable for me either (due to length).
Ya, the song was long, but I didn't feel like figuring out where to cut it, so I just left it >.>
omegaevolution wrote:yep the AMV indeed had a nice flow, a nice feeling as well. I told you the lenght was going to be a let down, but you already explained why you didn't cut the song :P . Anyway I enjoyed it, it was nice to watch, glad you get rid of most of the lip flap :o . Quality was good if you ask me. Oh and yeah maybe it looked a bit random thanks to the constant change of each character but IMO it worked to make it enjoyable nontheless O.o and... I missed the bananas =/.

Overall me likes, and now I like the song as well lol (didn't like it that much when I saw the beta :roll: ).

4/5 :o :up:
You'd better have changed your mind about the song :twisted:

EDIT: zomg I liked it WC O: (even tho u lied about the bananas... whore) Good feeling and yea like I mentioned before on those old betas, beginning was win :up: Further on the video was also good but sometimes I felt u rushed through the characters story and made those transition hasty most of the time. I thought of first it would be a Mai video since i just got to watch those part with her on those betas XD Overall the video was good, a little bit long but blame the music XD
I'm a rapist? o.O I thought that was you =O Ya, definitely agree that some things were rushed and such. Maybe it's cause I rushed when I was making this? =O

Ooh, you did? Awesome :D And no, there wasn't really a meaning, just supposed to feel nice and calming.
AphexTwin wrote:I know people who would hate you for using Loreena McKennitt (and especially this song) with Kanon.

Simple editing fitting for this kind of music anyway. It was ok thanks to the music and quality animation from KyoAni.
You do? O.O Wry? :( The sources were definitely lent themselves to the "idea" of this vid. Sometimes I hardly felt like I was doing anything =O

That first minute was one of the sections that I had done way ahead of time, so there was more effort into putting it together. As for the lip flap, be glad you didn't see the first version >.>

Thanks for looking everyone, glad for the most part it was enjoyed :D

Ok, I'm just going to be straight with you. I never really liked the idea of this video ever since you introduced me to it, just because I'm so attached to Memories Dance and I really don't know that your footage matches the lyrics very well at all. The editing is simple, which is fine...but this video really starts to drag near the middle.

Also, the video doesn't seem to have much of a point. It's just really random...it's like you took a bunch of pretty-looking scenes and randomly lined them up. I don't know how better to explain it. The video has a few good points, but the majority of this video just bores me.

Sorry...I know as a beta tester I should have said this kind of stuff earlier, but fixing most of what I'm complaining about would have required a complete overhaul of the entire video, and I didn't want to make you feel like you had to do that, especially with the deadline.

Nice try, but for me I just wasn't impressed, and I KNOW you can do better (especially after having seen Introspection).

2.5/5

Nice stuff. The footage gives the song a lot even if the lyrics don´t fit.

3.75/5

Meh, I kinda figured you would say something like this. For randomness, yes, it's true. As I said to Emong, "Also probably didn't help that for the majority of it, I was rushing to complete in 4 days, burning out so I ended up just looking at scenes and thinking, "That looks nice," and tossing it onto the timeline." Honestly, if you had said something as a beta tester, I probably would have disregarded it at the time because of the deadlines. If I got the chance, I probably would have reworked this vid before release, but as you know... :x Maybe I'll come back to this vid some day

Yep, I finished =O Lip flap death occurred on the upload deadline, so I said screw it to a bunch of it. Betas? Umm, I guess we just kinda stopped talking for a while? o.O File size, I was too lazy to mess with it and just tossed it into Zarx264GUI :P

I don't notice things when I'm rushing >.> I was killing lip flap on the upload deadline, and things are a lot less noticeable on a half-size preview screen =O

Thanks for the comments everyone! :D

Definitely see improvement here as far as the editing goes, WC. Still think you should have cut the song, and gave the video a little more focus rather than just covering the issues with all the girls. Might want to cut that lip flap too. >> But yeah, I'm really interested to see what you're going to pull off next, especially since this is only your second vid. :)
