I still can't skate (couple acen entries)

Unbreakable was certainly unexpected. While Christian/Rock bands are not my thing, it was catchy, I'll admit. Ginban Kaleidoscope was not something I've seen used much, which is a shame since it has that similar Kaleidostar vibe (though not as good). Your editing was great and really compels me to watch this series again.

Really solid editing on unbreakable, but I think there was some slow scenes that stopped up the flow a little. overall excellent though. 5/5-8/10

Unbreakable AMV: This one was awesome. I loved the overlays on the beats, very nice parts. The beginning with her dancing and the plane crashing made it interesting. I enjoyed it `til the end but maybe, in some places.. less fades to black? Maybe it was just me.

Anyway, good work on both! ^^

Hehe thanks. I know Unbreakable lost some energy, but I was running out of footage >_>

Fear the purple-haired girls of justice :O

Hahaha. Yea, the actual Ginban anime is pretty lame. I only got it because it mentioned a "Canadian ghost" ... I fear now that the Japanese think Canadians hate tomatoes. o.o

(Trust me I don't mind about WUT?, it was just a goofy thing.) Glad you liked Unbreakable though

:] I love that song ... my regret is that I didn't have enough footage to use the WHOLE song. I cut it pretty drastically.

Koop: thanks :3

Yay, you finally released 'em. I really dug Unbreakable; I'd been waiting for someone to make a good Ginban video for quite some time. And, of course, much love for your lolcat video.

Fun stuff Moonie. :3 Nice work indeed.

Oh and I want more of that band from flying skate girl video. :O

I totally thought the airplane part matched up with the skating in the original. Excellent work, Mewnster.

Mewn, I'm really disappointed.

This video was painful. You kept cutting stuff at the WRONG TIME IN THE JUMP.

Don't you have any empathy for the editors that are also figure skaters? Don't you realise whenever we follow a jump we go through the muscle movements? Man, cutting before the jump is complete, or worse, cutting TO AN ENTIRELY different jump is like...

Yeah. Well. Dun dew eet again, you hear.

I think I would be more forgiving about technical aspects like that. I mean Hollywood gets technical stuffs wrong all the time and they supposedly have professionals doing research or provide technical guidance.

*facepalm*

While everything I said is true, I was joking.

I liked the video. Unless Mewn was lying about not being able to skate, no one would expect her to know the differences in preparatory movements of say a salchow vs. a flip or a toe loop, or that cutting from a jump before the lift and landing is annoying to skaters.

(And cutting to a different jump is largely due to lack of footage :X)
