My second vid, experimenting with timing and special fx

I just released my second vid "who's the firestarter?"

http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... hp?v=37787

In the first one I was just eager to see if I could make an AMV (I guess that went OK). In this one however I wanted to get practise with timing and special FX. Also I followed the Guides

, because the first vid was a 80mb monster with quite a lot of quality loss.

I think it all came together quite niceley. It's an Akira vid with music from the Prodigy (yep you guessed it firestarter). It's all out action, with one dramatic moment/dreamsequence near the end.

I'm particuraly proud of the last part (done wthh paintshop pro) because I never thougt I could do that kind of technique but it worked.

Let me know what you think!

I'm not particularly a fan of straight action videos but this wasn't bad. The effects aren't overly intrusive and the timing was fairly decent. Not bad for a second video.

Wow! What a good amv. The timing at the beginning of the bomb blowing up were cool because it went with the music and all. One thing, I play the video it plays it upside down. Is it suppose to be like that? And I love the ending part, now that was pretty good. Good job for your second vid!

Thanx for the replies

And no the video isn't supposed to play upsidedown. Plays fine here, I tested it with windows with the Ati-player and bsplayer and with Linux with both mplayer and Kaffeine.

And again thanx

Cool vid, not my taste in music, but good. Especially the beginning with the bombs
