I made this video for the AWA pro/peer review contest this year. If you downloaded it as part of the contest, please note that some changes have been made to the video.
I like to make fun videos, and that is what I tried to do here. I definitely had a good time making it!

Re: Believe in the Slam Jam (Battle Athletes / Space Jam)
One of the most fun AMVs I've seen in... a while!
Loved every element of this, such a simple concept but executed flawlessly.

I was really into this until the ending. The source was probably limiting you, but it feels like the end should be at the beginning. Right now it feels like you're hyping up another phase of the video and then it doesn't deliver. Other than that, this was wild! Heaps of fun slathered in a delectable sauce of nostalgia. Great work!

Re: Believe in the Slam Jam (Battle Athletes / Space Jam)
Thanks, I get your criticism, and believe me, I really went back and forth on what to do at the end. When it came down to it, I felt that just showing the good guys overcoming adversity and coming out on top would just add length to the video in a way that would be boring. We all know how its going to end, and I couldn't come up with any way to liven it up and make it fun. So I decided to just let the viewer's imagination fill it in.SilkAMV wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 10:14 amI was really unto this until the ending.

Re: Believe in the Slam Jam (Battle Athletes / Space Jam)
Agree with Silk on the ending -- I actually don't think this video needed a story at all, the goofy lyric sync and fun editing carries this all on its own -- but it doesn't really take anything away from the video for me, either way. It's just super fun, the editing is really tight, and like I said in the PRO review thread, I can't believe it hasn't been done already. Nice work, this is just pure entertainment!
