Now maybe I'll be able to see why we couldn't get it under 55mb. I'll check it out later today.

Alright, two bad things first off (lets get them outta the way).
The video quality wasnt as good as it could have been (why did you chop off the edges of the 16:9?) I think the encoding coulda been a bit better for an xvid, not totally bad, but it coulda been better.

You know how I feel about this paticular brand of music too, so I'm a bit relived it's not as "mainstream" rock as you usually choose to do. It's not bad stuff. Good choice overall for your tastes (and afterall we do make videos for ourselfs overall).

The editing is way above anything you've done before, very good timing. Nice use of fade to blacks, I liked the color RGB warps at the start of the video, it was a good choice for that paticular scene. Good stuff

.

The majority of the video focused on tetsuo, which is really a nice story too be told, although I have to say.. While it was MUCH better editing than most akira videos, I think you mighta done something with the story a bit to make it more diffrent (once again: story wise).

Anyway, it's a really good video. You've definitly been improving and I'm glad to see it man, I was a bit worried for a while that you wouldnt be coming back to editing. But you did, and you really improved alot with this one.

Good job man

Nice stuff. A few parts felt a bit slow, but overall it shows you have great potential in the action/drama vid world

. Now get back to work on that Berserk/Tool vid, I DEMAND IT!

Oh, and props for using the badassity of OneSideZero

That's partly my fault too. I was trying to help with that, but I think he has a version of xvid that I'm not familiar with (although I didn't do any cropping...). If I were able to see his video before he released it, I might have been able to help more, but my computer is retarded. I put the resolution to 520 x 384 because he was getting file sizes that were too high, and he couldn't find out how to change the bit rate. Since I'm not familiar with his version, and wasn't there, I couldn't help there either. But he said he was happy with how it looked, and 55 mb is not unreasonable at all, so it seemed fine by me (despite the time/size ratio) since I couldn't actually see the video. Now that I think about it, I should have asked for some screenshots... >_<

Anyway, I hope to get this soon. \m/

Ah, well... Oh well, Maybe a remaster is in order yes?

i'm glad you guys at least enjoyed it.... i really did work hard on this. I guess the idea isn't the most original but it was fun!!!! If you haven't seen the video yet you still have time!!! (like you'd really run out of time)
