Hey im still pretty new at this, ive only made like 4 amv's total but im interested to get some opinons on them. As a newbie im not entirely sure my opinons will give much help but im still willing. Ahh also watch em in 60fps!

Re: Seeking honest opinions 1:1 or 2:2
Well, for a starter I think it's very good over all!
Nice cuts, no lip flapping an the beat is right.
If I may criticize at all... it's something of a bug bear with me and seems common to a lot of AMVs... the music in each piece seems weak. For want of a better word, the choice in music in each case seems, to my 1980's hearing damaged ears, to be 'B' side tracks if you know what I mean. Thus all seem great cuts that I would download and overlay different music. But that's probably my personal taste. I have identified that the majority of AMV's have music choices that seem odd to e and everyone else things is wonderful!
I also don't get what 60fps is about. It means longer rendering, larger files but the human eye can't see the difference from 25 frames a second!
But, great work I would say.
Oh, just once suggestion, if you are going to show an explosion in an AMV, add a explosion SFX. Nothing too loud or distracting but something to make the event seem real and not jerk the watcher out with "Where's the sound?" moment. I found I had to do that with my last AMV. Lots of missiles and explosions... I had to add some effects but not so loud as to distract but enough to add weight.

Re: Seeking honest opinions 1:1 or 2:2
Thank you very much I understand what you mean entirely I think finding music is one of my biggest issue, I tend to lean more towards things i think I can do easily rather than trying something difficult, also the explosions sfx idea is really good, i think i wanna try it and see what happens.
As for the 60 fps i run on a slightly overpowered computer so i do it half for it's sake, and half for the satisfaction of seeing the 1080p60fps tag on Youtube, self gratification really.
