downloading now.

/Ouran fit the mood of the song. I liked the piano bit at :56-:57. Another nice little Ouran video.

/The lip sync, or at least I think that's what you were going for, is really awkward and would have been better without.

And if it's your birthday... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :bzz: |:> |:> |:> :bzz2:

Happy birfday!

The vid became solid after :40 - up to that, it was really weird and if I were at your place I'd redo the whole start - I didn't have a clue in what's going on up to that point. Lipsync was fine, but again - in the start it looked more like lipflap.

Btw - wrong AR (720x480 does NOT exist for rendering without flagging) and quality was really weird and blocky at times.

The end was sweet, though and beat syncing was done fairly well, so... 4/5

The beginning was just a little too "zany" for me, and it really didn't have much focus for me. But after the beginning, and when the lyrics started hitting the scenery, it became much more entertaining. :up:

I echo the visual quality issues with Nya, but still wasn't TOO terrible, and still very much watchable.

Overall, a pretty enjoyable experience.

Not a fan of the song but... eh
/ghets cuz it's your birthday


There were some glitches I saw here and there because of the lipsync, but nothing too bad. I liked the lipsync sometimes, but other times it would have been better without. The ending was my favorite part (right when it started at the slow/soft part.) Pretty cool, 'specially cuz it was Ouran <3

Thank you!
Ah yeah the beginning of the video was really just random fight scenes between the characters, before the lyrics kick in the only thing I could think to do was just go with what was going to be explained in the upcoming lyrics and have them fighting. I should have found a better way, or left out the fighting all together until the song actually kicks in to explain it.

As for the A/R I could most certainly have done something wrong but I had to do some cropping of the full screen footage (I wrote in the description why) so putting it back to 4:3 would stretch the characters... Unless I was supposed to do that and flag it also? Iono :sweat:

Yeah after editing everything together I got really shameless with the lipsync and tried to do it every instance I had a characters mouth moving as opposed to just covering it up. It does look rather forced in places.

Thanks glad you liked.

Thank you very much. Yeah I can see how it could look rather forced. Especially during one of the instances where I have him saying 'Gravity'

Should've cropped and resized to some valid 4:3 or 16:9 AR ;x

I think that you used too much lip sync, but this AMV was still entertaining. It does a good job at being a fun video. Oh and, happy belated birthday.

Happy belated. =]

This was pretty good: I would've liked more beat sync, but otherwise it was nice. xD
