Yeeeah, another quick video from me. 'Quick' as in I edited this in about six hours. I've said this about the last several videos I put out, but this one's my favorite of mine, at least as of right now. Read the video description/off-site description for more info (and I recommend you do, you'll probably get more out of the video). Anyway, enjoy!

Gotcha virgin boyo!
:P
dloads (will edit later)

Ok I like this better than your last few releases tis more evocative... I think sometimes you loose yourself to the technical aspects and that leeches the feeling from your vids.
But I'm becoming a bit "Blase" (cause the accents aren't werking on this PC) about this anime, as in most vids made to this have the same feel. This didn't jump out and scream original so i feel a bit "meh"

Let´s get.
but this one's my favorite of mine, at least as of right now.
And I´m sure, I won´t like the song.

Edit...
I really liked the way you used the effects this time. Really nice and effective. I wish that they would be a bit more of the whole video. The rest looks like the overaverage romance/drama amv for someone who doesn´t understand the lyrics like me and yeah... I don´t like the song, but I can listen to it ^^'
4/5 should be the right choice for this one, but today I´m more speachless and can´t say anything more. Well maybe later. I´m still surprised about your editing speed Ben. Also I don´t see editing mistakes.
You can find me on YT under "Bauzi514". Subscribe to never miss my AMV releases. :amv:

Crackerz has done it again.

Like I mentioned earlier (in tha IRC), sync was good, concept was clear and nice, and I loved the effects :)

And yeah, you're damn fast but make good videos :D Speedy Crackerz

Nice work, Crackerzzzz. The opening effects were neat, but I wasn't a big fan of what was going on with the bars in the middle. It's kind of funny seeing a BtC vid this like coming from you as well hehe. But yeah, good stuff overall. :)

You gotta stop doing this :P

EDIT: There were a couple of moments that made me 'wow', good storytelling as always (though I watched the movie) and the song really fits anime. So, nice job :up:

I liked that quite lots.

The storyline was very clear. With some help from your video description, you can easily catch it without numerous views, which is quite an accomplishment. However, when it comes to your clip-selection, the second half of the vid was a lot more solid than the first half. Propably because the scenes changed so quickly in the first half (yeah, scenes, not clips :wink: ) But, for me, it's always a big plus when the AMV even has scenes, so I really liked your story-telling on this one!

Also, I liked the effects used here. Especially the floating boxes. I was intrigued to see more of them, but didn't get that much in the end. But that's just fine, even though I usually appreciate more solid, wider work on the effects field 8-)

You hit the beats quite nicely. Fades can be tricky sometimes but you seem to handle them very well :D However, I was a bit distracted by the sudden fade-outs without fade-ins and the few sharp cuts in the middle of cross-fades, but that wasn't a problem anymore when the pacing of the song started to change. However, a few clips I felt clocked in for a bit too long, but that isn't much of a big deal.

And originality.... Yes, I have seen quite many of these. But I love solid genre works, especially when the clip-selection is unique.. However, your syncing wasn't anything new, so I wouldn't rate the originality score that high.

All in all, it's a very decent video! I'm propably keeping this one. Still have to see how much re-viewing it can take :wink:

4/5

Quite good amv,solid and with a clear storytelling.The scene selection is good and the colors just perfect.I haven't watched the movie but having watched your amv and Koop's I believe it is time to download it.
