Audio/Visual: I found both the AMVs similar in style, so my comments will be regarding them both. The source material you used was high quality, clean and crisp. I didn’t see any extravagant or “in your face” effects, which I typically do in DBZ AMVs, so it was an interesting change. Also, I thought your song selection was unique and intriguing as well. Not what I was expecting.

Sync: As for the sync, I thought you did a very good job at the start of both of them using internal sync to match the various beats of the songs. I thought they were very creative well executed. I particularly liked the sync work you did in the first 20 seconds of the Vegeta AMV. However, for both AMVs, as the song went on I felt the overall sync did not stay consistent from start to finish. I also felt that you lingered too long on scenes and would have benefited by shortening them.

You also focus on single fights which causes them to be too linear and more boring, in my opinion, unless they are very well executed and synced to a song. It also constrains you creativity because your limited to that fight.

Overall, I found them to be interesting and entertaining. You definitely have an eye for scenes to use for internal sync and I hope you continue making and posting AMVs.

720p60fps Dragonball fight videos... Man, the more things change, the more things stay the same.

You start off with many advantages not to be found 20 years ago, specifically the high quality of your source material. I am no fan of this show, but I love how bright, crisp, clear and vibrant the video is. I'm assuming this is in the original source because it is 2018, but please tell if you did color correction on this.

Agreed with VK that this is pretty typical in the sense that long, single fights just aren't that entertaining. The first video became too repetitive for me to wish to finish. The second one had the added dimension of being absolutely hilarious. You weren't able to sustain it, but you could have. Stronger and more frequent cuts setting up the dichotomy between the OVER 9000 seriousness of the fight with the ridiculous nature of the music and you'd have had a decent comedy video.

I do NOT like single-fight AMVs. "Pulse Ecstasy" didn't do anything to change this and just kind of ticked all the boxes to remind me why I feel the way I do.

"Swing It" was just more fun, not really subverting the fight cliches or anything like that but just editing this kind of scene in an over-the-top kind of way that was really goofy and much more enjoyable than trying to approach this kind of thing completely seriously. I mean, I have no idea if you intended that or not or if you really tried to create these videos in a different way at all, but somehow "Swing It" was just more enjoyable. I'd be surprised if you didn't have more fun making this AMV than the other one.

I appreciate the feedback so far

Mhm yeah i wouldnn't say sticking to single fights is good, but i guess one could blame slightly db super It has little to offer other than that D:. Anyway i also like swing it s more, tho you should try to get some better source for that one (queality didn't look too hot). I guess music makes it slightly stand out and kinda you fooling around which isn't bad

Ah good to know. I'll try n spread out to multiple fight scenes next time
