hmmm i may not really know how this forum works but i need opinions, thats all i know =)

soo, i am completly knew to this and have never created anything dealing with video or any type of editing what so ever....I created this wolf's rain amv to the song red sky by thrice....and i was wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions...I posted it on vimeo http://vimeo.com/clip:146367 for now untill i think it might one day be good enough to post on this site..i dunno

anywho any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

oh...and the audio is off sync on many parts so bare with me, you can probably guess how it's supposed to be =)

It's okay, at least you admit you're new.

Okay, here's what I suggest.

1. Upload your videos here, even if you think 'they aren't good enough for the site'. Because I'm sure someone will thinky they are good. And besides, the org wants to catalogue every video ever made. Plus, the org is free to upload to, and it has awesome quality.

2. Opinions are a system at a-m-v.org. And in an op exchange, usually people want you to give an opinion back. If you look on a video's info, it has the option of 'give opinion' where you precede to rate the video and then explain why you gave them those scores.

3. Don't worry about if you think your video isn't good enough. People will (hopefully) leave constructive comments on your videos, so you can improve.

4. Have fun, and welcome to the org. =]

lol, if by "need" opinions you mean you want feeback on your vids then this is the place, if you mean you "need" opinions in that you think that every amv has to have some opinions then you are mistaken

anyway, i really suggest you post your amvs on the org, beleive me, there are some completely awful ones on here but the org doesnt have a rule saying people with sub par amvs cant post them, and everyone has to start somewhere. Another reason you should post your amv on here is that there is a well made form through which people can write out their opinions for you, it has ratings for:
originality
video quality
sound quality
action sync
special effects (if any)
lip sync (if any)
effort
overall
Re-viewability

and then a section for the comments on the good aspects, bad aspects and then comments in general. it's a really simple way to get feedback on your amvs.
the problem is your amv is not on the org so that form for opinions cant be filled out for it. if you want, i can watch your amv and send you a personal message with an opinions information on it, in return could you take a look at one of my amvs and make an opinion for it, it will also give you an idea of how opinions work

go into the vid and scroll down to the bottom, there will be a button that says submit opinion, it will take you to a screen with the information i listed above, just fill it out however you want, i dont care if you leave good or bad feedback, just an honest opinion, so i can make better amvs in the future. In return i'll take a look at your amv and send you a personal message with the same info the opinion form has, i can probably get that done later tonight

hope this helped, and seriously, the org is here for any amv maker, take advantage of it and post your vids

O: Poor Jasta. Went through all that trouble to write a long post and I beat you by a couple of seconds XD
j/k j/k =]

For when you do upload it to the org, give me the link and I'll leave an opinion on it. For now, I'll exchange an op with you for this vid:

ok, dude, you are way to harsh on yourself, that was an awsome first amv, hell, i thought my first amv was decent so i entered it into the viewers choice awards this year for best for amv (mostly for kicks, when blanco22 entered his first it was over heh) but seriously, yours is way above the average of first amvs

most first amvs are characterized by at least 3 things:
1. subs (you wouldnt beleive the number of amvs out there with subtitles on them, and the sad thing is most of them arnt 1st amvs)
2. horrible footage quality (usually including subs)
3. really bad editing

your quality wasnt crystal clear, but at least it was consistant and most importantly it had...no...subs. your use of fade ins and outs went well with the flow of the music and you had decent synch in most of the amv. i was going to send you a pm with a makeshift opinion but if you finish it up and post it here send me a pm and i'll make an official opinion for you (i'm not asking for one in return, i'm honestly impressed with your work). i look forward to seeing what you can do in the future

yay i did it...I think this will do for now cause i don't know what else to put in it even though i said i wasn't done =P

maybe i'll remake it in the future after some more amvs i have on my to do list

Jasta85, i left my opinion on yours...and my golly, your vid was ..............well.................simply.....................amazing!!!!!

and kikai_saigono, i'm DL your's as we speak..or as i type, or whatever =)
