[imp]

Hey! made this small video for the Dutch convention Animecon: to Udder Worlds.
EDIT: 5th place audience vote, 13th editor's vote.
Anyway, enjoy and let me know what you think!

Hey Imp !!

Your AMV was technically very good. There were a few things I disliked though.

First of, the story wasnt quite clear, especially in the beginning. It mightve been better if you started with SAO, where you see one of them with the headthingy on.
You also seem to have many repetitive scenes, scenes behind or close to eachother that resemble eachother so much (same guy, only different angles, but still in same position/view) that it became a bit slow-paced. Also, some zoom-out transitions were a bit rough.

In short: technically I found your vid quite brilliant indeed. Concept was good too. Mixing SAO and Fate is actually a good combo. Only it still felt like it was a bit lacking in story and scene-selection. ABut still, good job imp ^^!! Im quite curious about the actual scores ><

Btw, I just saw that you put the editor names of dutch editors near the end. Brilliant

I have to echo FadingSundown that the story wasn't very clear at the beginning. That being said, overall, I still found this to be an enjoyable video.

Yow Imp!

First off: you know I like this vid a lot. But let's get into some constructive criticism here:
The video does indeed start off a bit slow. Maybe I didn't notice this that well at the compo (because the one before was mine) but some more non-environmental scenes might have been better. It was also a bit unclear where Rider fits in the grand picture. Just a suggestion (that won't help you know lol) but how about making Kirito Rider's player and Sugu going out for revenge? (That would also clarify why she wants to fight him). The lipsync around 0:46 is well done, but this is also the only time you use lipsync, so it feels a bit awkward. The audio-cut at 2:18 is also quite noticable. It's not "aaargh wtf did you do to the song"-bad though.

Anyway, keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to your next vid! ^^

hey! thanks for all your replies.

@Fading: yes, I guess the story isn't quite clear, yet I wanted to have some sort of twist ending by using SAO and only hint throughout the video yet not giving it really away.

@Fizziks: glad you still enjoyed it.

@NRH: oh, I guess the beginning was a bit too slow... and Rider isn't important, that's why he gets almost no screen time. about the lipsync, I had planned for more, but the rest just really looked bad, so I removed them...
another thing, there's no audio-cut. well, not at 2:18 at least. the only cut is at the very beginning, first 10 sec of the song is gone >.>

Eh, ok, guess the song is just in weird in that part then XD
