Well my views aren't affected in any way by the views of others (ie I'm not a trend following sheeple) so I think maybe you're just kind of scared by the way I think. See most people are dependant upon seeking validation of themselves through others, but your God, what if ALL the others suddenly stopped caring?! How WOULD you seek that validation? ^_^

Again, you fail to understand the point. First of all, some of the best ideas in the world have come from non-professionals. You don't need to be a 'pro' or have a degree to come up with good ideas. I'm not scared by the way you think. Trust me, I have no reason to be afraid. I learned that a long time ago.

It has absolutely nothing to do with validation. It has to do with learning and in turn helping others learn. That's the most positive way you can be no matter what the art form. It in turn makes you a better person and better at your art.

Many answers are found in the most simplest of places. Again, you fail to see that and it's your loss. That's very unfortunate for you. Your close minded attitude makes me feel sorry for you.

The attitude you carry is the kind of thing that tarnishes good work no matter how spectacular it may be. If I were looking to hire a video editor (and that's something I probably will be doing in the future), I wouldn't give someone with your attitude a first or second glance and that's how a lot of things work in the real world. Believing your above others only makes you a winner in your own mind and no where else.

You know, action syncing is not something only a [shout]professional editor[/useless shouting] is able to pull off?

...uh...who said that it was?

I can remember seeing an actionsync amv made with tapedecks.

That's how the ORIGINAL animated music video editors did it, those guys who did the DTV vids on the Disney channel back in the early 80s. They were the TRUE pioneers of this genre...sadly most people aren't even aware of them.

Also to beat or to action sync is an artistic decision.

To a certain extent, but it's also about skill. Again, how many vids do you see that are primarily action synched? You can find TONS of flash bang style vids...not so much with teh other though. You could argue that it's a trend, but even if that were true there would at least be SOME flew in the face of conformity. Again I put the challenge...can anyone post a link to a vid where it PRIMARILY relies on action synch over other methods?

From watching your video I got the feeling you tied yourself so much up in aiming for action sync that you completely ignored the movement of the song. You missed several changes in your song that would have been far more effective in conceiving syncage, then fiddling the speed of plenty of scenes.

Uh...you know there's a phrase I like to use sometimes, it's a "treksplanation". Basically it's where you just sorta make shit up that ~kinda~ sounds like you really know what you're talking about. I mean I'm sure you've heard some other people talking before about "the movement of a song" and yadda, yadda and you picked up on that phrase REAL quick...the thing of it is though...that song I chose doesn't really have...well, ANY movement (sans maybe the last 15 seconds or so). The beat is pretty much consistent all throughout and since the animation synch is directly tied into the beats, well if the beats pick up, the animation synch picks up...so even if it did have a lot of movement...well there's no real way that it couldn't be following it. *shrugs*

And actually, now that I look back over it, yer completely wrong. For example there's one part in the song where the lyrics and synth nearly go silent and it's just the drum beat, essentially the calm or build up moment of the song...which directly ties in with when Chibiko jumps off the side of the building, the drum beat is almost like her heart beat, which is signified by the brief scene jumping to the close up shot of her face. It's a build up because you're like, "OMG, She just jumped off a building, is she gonna make it, what's gonna happen?" And then BOOM! She swings through, lands onto the building and the song resumes as it had been, the "terrifying" will she make it part over with.

Maybe instead of just talking bullshit you could try and explain it like I did how you think it doesn't match the movement. Please refer to SPECIFIC portions of the song and video that you think match up wrong.

Also I took time too read through some of your posting history. Nice double standards you are applying.

...what double standard would that be?

What is an Hatter Hater Addict anyway? Harry Potter Hater? The googles they do nothing...

A Hatter Addict is someone who hates me, hates my attitude, hates my opinions, hates my st00f, and generally just doesn't like me all around...and yet despite that they invest a considerable amount of their time in obsessing over me, reading and replying to my posts, looking through all my st00fs, frothing on about me to other people, etc, etc.

For reference the nyme I normally go by is Onideus Mad Hatter or just Mad Hatter.

So I heard MPEG-1 is better on clean sources than H.264

Again, you fail to understand the point. First of all, some of the best ideas in the world have come from non-professionals.

Really, which ones? And please, be as specific as you can. ^_^

You don't need to be a 'pro' or have a degree to come up with good ideas.

And yet when a business goes to hire people, huh, for some STRANGE reason they tend to go with the proffesionals...funny that. I guess maybe they just haven't gotten around to seeing things through your eyes, huh?

I'm not scared by the way you think. Trust me, I have no reason to be afraid. I learned that a long time ago.

It has absolutely nothing to do with validation.

Uh huh, if you say so.

It has to do with learning and in turn helping others learn.

...no offense or anything but you sound like some kind of hippie flower child tryin to preach endless love and hapiness on earth. It's a nice sentiment, it really is, but uh...it's just not the way reality works. *shrugs*

That's the most positive way you can be no matter what the art form. It in turn makes you a better person and better at your art.

Well maybe that works for you and if it does go for it, but uh, some of us have our own methods and they work best for us...if you can't accept that, well, maybe you have something wrong with you.

Many answers are found in the most simplest of places.

What is the sound of one hand clapping, Grasshopper? *rolls eyes*

Again, you fail to see that and it's your loss.

What you fail to see is that it would be YOUR loss...not mine. The way that YOU further YOUR art is NOT the way that *I* further mine...so it's no loss to me.

That's very unfortunately for you. Your close minded attitude makes me feel sorry for you.

Really though, you're the one whose actually closed minded because you're trying to say that YOUR WAY is the ONLY WAY. Where as I'm saying YOUR WAY may work best FOR YOU and that's fine, but *I* have *MY* own way and that works best FOR ME...but for some reason you can't deal with that.

The attitude you carry is the kind of thing that tarnishes good work no matter how spectacular it may be. If I were looking to hire a video editor (and that's something I probably will be doing in the future), I wouldn't give someone with your attitude a first or second glance and that's how a lot of things work in the real world.

I pay a certain price for my opinions, ideals, beliefs, etc...and while it may "tarnish" my work in YOUR eyes...well...you'll be dead and gone in less than a hundred years and uh...guess what? Yeah, my art will be around for a LOT longer than that...kinda neat how that works. ^_^

Believing your above others only makes you a winner in your own mind and no where else.

...but that's where it's most important. See it's about attitude. In your mind, if you don't THINK you're the best...you'll never be the best. The question is whether or not you're using ego to FURTHER your work or whether you're using it as an excuse to STOP working...me, I use it to FURTHER my work...and in that respect it's highly effective. My range of skill and ability level increases at a near exponential rate in more fields than you can even imagine...but only because I constantly strive to be one of the best...it doesn't matter whether YOU don't think so, all that matters is that it's what *I'M* striving for. Without that attitude...I wouldn't even remotely have the range the skill that I currently have. Sites like these that I've made wouldn't even exist:

http://www.backwater-productions.net/RMXP_CSG/

http://www.backwater-productions.net/care-bears/

http://www.backwater-productions.net/npindex/index.html

*shrugs*

The people who use those sites...I'm sure they would agree that the method I'm using is best FOR ME. Maybe not for you, but for me, it's the best way.

Isnt all this useless? =\

[Wheee_It's_Me!]

Isnt all this useless? =\

For you, yes, but then yer some kind of a Hatter Addict so it's not like you can stop yourself from reading and replying to shit that you think is pointless.
