Re: Demon Slayer [Be Just Or Be Dead]
It reminds me of my first AMV. I listened to the music, thought of some of my favorite scenes that would look cool with it, and just let them play. I'd say the majority of editors start out that way. If I were to estimate where you are in your development as an editor, you are in the honeymoon stage of "This is awesome!" Some editors prefer to stay in that honeymoon stage forever, and never improve. Since you are posting this here, that must mean you intend to move to the next stage, and begin your descent into the valley of "Oh my god I suck."
Don't worry. You don't actually suck. You're just going to think you do. The important thing going forward is to hold onto that "This is awesome!" feeling, which you clearly have a solid grasp of already. I enjoyed watching this video because I liked the music, and I liked watching those cool scenes. Except, I wasn't enjoying the video for its own sake. This music is awesome, and Demon Slayer is awesome. Therefore, you have the ingredients of an awesome video. The problem is you're just throwing them raw onto a plate and calling it dinner. You don't know how to cook them into a meal yet.
For tips on how to do that, you should check out the guides and tutorials section of this forum.

Re: Demon Slayer [Be Just Or Be Dead]
Thanks for the feedback. I was mostly going for fight timing based edits rather than creating any kind of a story build up to transition into fights. Mostly because with the music having such a fast tempo throughout the entire track, I didn't feel there was really a way to create that kind of build up anyway. So I felt 100% fight scenes was the way to go with this music choice.
The downside to it having to be 100% action with that kind of tempo was that there wasn't enough content to keep it consistent with one character or sticking to a specific arc of storyline. So in the end I went with just showcasing all 3 main characters in what I thought were their best fight scenes of the season.
