It's What We Are
Another oldschool AMV. I've always felt like Defeat You's twangy guitar has a Wild West flavor to it, and it seemed natural to pair it with Vash.

Re: It's What We Are
I enjoyed it ^^ and is that a random black frame at 1:04? XD

Re: It's What We Are
Thanks!
I thought the beat of black was necessary to smooth the transition from the serious scene to Vash's goofball side, but maybe it was a bad decision
The one a few seconds later may have been random...

Re: It's What We Are
This gave off a very old style feel and I loved it (maybe it's just cause of the source, but still) flow of the editing was fun and I was really enjoying it till about 2:00 and I realized it was becoming super repetitive and was losing my interest >_<. If there was a little more story attached to it I'd be more into it all throughout the 4 minutes. Also props to you for editing 4 min, I never go that long~~
(also noticed that small black frame too)
Overall I still enjoyed it so really good job

Re: It's What We Are
Thank you very much. I think I'm more suited to old-school editing, for better or for worse
Hmm, I hadn't thought of it as repetitive; I tried to change it up beginning around 2:10, I started varying the editing pace more, adding some overlays, freeze frames, etc... perhaps not enough to keep things interesting. I don't seem to be very creative with my editing, unfortunately - something to strive for in the future!
