Hmm. Well it was pretty neat.
Though, I think that if you would have went with one "style" instead of the random FX-theme which was going on, you would have been better off.
At least that is my opinion, the way it was now made it all look and feel really random and weird... sort of.

Oh well, congrats on getting 2nd!

Pretty much this, to be honest.. I was rather dissapointed of the entries this year. Only entry that really interested me was Trampler's ''Synesthesia²'' because of the clean style and good presentation overall. I know M@D's are usually quite pumped up with random FX's, but a good concept or sense of design it's an important piece to keep in mind aswell.

Congratulations for second place.

Excellent M@D, the competition like, though of course visuals rather to random.

I didn't care for styles, just wanted to do new FX, maybe you are right, it would be better if i did it with one style. Thank you.

I was dissapointed about the number of entries, I thought there would be more entries just as every contest from AMVNews. And I liked ''Synesthesia²'' too, though the characters faces weren't very pretty, but the idea was brilliant. To be honest, i thought of making an m@d with my drawings instead of going with FX theme, but i had no enough time to draw and color.

Thank you very much, sorry about the random visuals.

Eh... I wanted to write this as qc, but suddenly it got send before I was ready writing.

This video is a strange exprience. It has nice designs, ideas, effects and execution, but something keeps it away from being round. One thing is typography. I don't think that it fits good in the video. On the other hand it's not bad for sure! It's just not that much fitting for me. I mean the fonts. Not the typography itself. The other thing that I probably know are colours. Watch original japanese MADs they are so much deeper in terms of colours. More contrast more colors. Again: Your execution is not bad, but than again the stills should have colours that make me Wow... Than in the end you heavily rely on images, am I right?

Maybe it got to random. I don't know. Maybe it needs a stricter design, but there is something that bugs me.


This is (and again...) not a bad video at all. Well deserved 4 stars, but I can see that this is only a second place video (I don't know the winner vid though).

Yep, I received half of your comment. I didn't get what you mean by (rely) because everyone use images in m@d, besides it would look empty if I used less images. And I thought I used enough colors :sweat: Anyways, thanks for the comment, but I wished to know what bugs you.
