New Elfen Lied Video

Introducing the Devils got AOL. This song was brought to me by some of my close friends, and after showing them Elfen Lied they enlisted me to create an AMV for them after seeing some of my previous work that i had done for practice. Please enjoy and don't be afraid to leave feedback.

**Note. If you are unfamiliar with Elfen Lied, this video contains a lot of animated violence, and some animated nudity.**

Ha! I guess you could call this video "Everything that happens in Elfen Lied in 5 minutes."

The video wasn't exactly my cup of tea, but damn good for someone who's only been a member for what? Two weeks? :D

Disturbing.

I've only seen one or two Elfen Lied vids and none of the anime, so the rapid editing and constant effects are pretty disorienting. Pity I don't like the song at all, as it's a very moody video.

Well, I'll add my 2.2 cents to this. I'm going to skip my usual breakdown to simply say:

Great editing. You caught all of the beats and gave your video a fast pace that carried throughout. However, this was just random action to a random song. All the pretty editing in the world couldn't hide that. I saw no definitive story, and the song seemed to serve no purpose to the anime it was paired with.

Don't get me wrong. You did very well, but the repetitive concept got boring, and that is what brought down my opinion of this work. I'd still easily rate this a four out of five, but it's not something I'd watch very much - also partly because I absolutely hated the song. Gkh...*shudder*

Mixed feelings here. Nice job, but...ugh.
