Tizu's Song

Post by hyacinthe » Mon Jul 07, 2008 11:40 pm

In brief - this is the first AMV that my sister and I have uploaded to the site. It's not our first video, but those first ones are probably best left in the box of videotapes where they belong. :)

We're thinking of entering it into the Expo contest at AWA 14, but wanted to get some opinions on it first.

Also, the video has spoilers for the end of the series, Jyu Oh Sei (which I guess is now being called Planet of the Beast King?).

Overall a good solid AMV with a few technical and one personal (not a video fault) issues:

1) The incidences of lip flap were distracting which was amplified by the slowness of the song melody.

2) Some transitions appeared to last too long into the next scene or the next scene starts too early (too much overlap). See ~1:00, 1:28.

3) Coloration. This was the most noticeable issue with this amv. I don't know if it was from the source or your attempt at color correction but look at a couple of examples below:

The coloration on her face is blotchy:

The color on his cape/shawl is uneven:

4) Personal - I just can't help but picture Sally and Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas when I hear this song (That's my problem - not the amvs)

Again, overall a nice video with good flow.

:) Thanks for the constructive criticism! We'll keep it in mind when we tweak it a bit.


As for 2), thew overlap was actually supposed to be there, to go along with the beat, but good catching it!
