So now we're judging the quality of a video based on the anime it uses?

It's what I'd expect from a first video. Not much sync (I did see a tad bit though), and the quality could of been much better, though it wasn't terrible.

Also the abrupt change in music midway through didn't go very smoothly.

Needs more sync and an actual concept.

whaddaya mean 'Now'? this isn't something new i pulled outta my ass but you already knew that, Also I was a hell of a lot nicer about it than the IC would've been :twisted:

on the video: good music choice, and scene choice at the begining wasn't same old same old (so bonus points there)
tho the transitions of both the music and the video between songs was ugh...
nothing special.. yet another naruto vid on the pile :|
needs work on the visual quality, and smoothing your transitions more will help your sync

1.5/5
new banzors in the making :p

I think naruto is the best anime ever it should start at an automatic 4/5 becuase there is so much raw emotion and epic story that only the nihonjins((thats japanese for japanese people)) could capture. unliek their baka american counterparts but I love th video dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

"Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art's sake."

-E. M. Forster

There are times when I thought a video could change the course of human history. There are times when I thought an AMV could unite all of mankind in solemn unity. I believe this is one of those videos. It reminds of me of the scene in Armageddon when the heroic music plays and the president give an epic speech as people from all corners of the world and all walks of life tune in to watch and listen in a moment of sincere beauty. I can see this video having the same impact.

First, the music is just heartwrenchingly fantastic. I mean we're talking "watching Jesus walk on water while defending the earth from Roseanne Barr sized comets with his laser eyes and crab pincers" fantastic. I love that you also used not just one, but TWO amazing tracks. It's like a blue-light special at K-Mart or getting two raptures on The Day of Judgment. I feel like this video was an absolute steal. Just incredible.

The video itself with the scenes you've chosen are just superb beyond description. I was speechless at the depth of intensity portrayed by these scenes. I remember when Orson Welles made Citizen Kane's famous scene where Kane dies and drops a snowglobe onto the floor which shatters as he utters his final words: "Rosebud." This video tops that scene in every regard. I'm still wiping up the tears as I write this.

I recommend that everyone watch this video at least once, but be warned:

IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

This is truly a timeless masterpiece for the ages, and destined to be the greatest work of audio/video in the history of the universe. Truly. A God-send.

screw what everyone else says, if you want to make a naruto AMV then do so, its up to the downloader to decide whether they want to watch it or not, there is nothing wrong with naruto or using naruto for an AMV at all

Unless he made a really bad Naruto AMV, then it's not good at all.

Lets face it, the world will never have enough naruto, I mean... if nobody ever dies, they can keep the series going for who knows how long? Same with Bleach, and, well, everything Shonen Jump.

/reckless statement

Oh yeah, the video.

/getsftw

EDIT: So, as much as I wanna say "the filename says it all, 1/5" I kinda liked it a wee bit. Well, there wasn't much editing, and the scene selection was downright pointless. I mean, I can like random fight vids, but at least the ones I like have some more stuff synced to it. I can see the effort, and you're wanting feedback. Thats always good.

As to the Naruto, maybe I wasn't bored to death because I haven't seen that many AMVs to the movies, or Naruto in general. I tend to avoid them. The video quality wasn't real bad, and there were no subtitles at least. Oh, and as a side note, of those 13 thousand video entries, a little more than half are downloadable, and who counts yootube? I don't go near the place. Admittedly the MOST done, but overdone? Maybe not yet. (I'm sure if I go down the list and start watching all ~8k my mind will change very quickly, but thats where I stand for now)

I'm too tired to point out the specifics, so maybe someone kinder than myself will help you out as to how to improve.

2/5 *shrug*

It's using the Movie, not the series and it's no WMV and has a pwnsome filename

//gets

EDIT: I really didn't think it was horrible in any way. I'm sure I would have liked it less if it would have used the overused Series, but the fact that it was using the "rare" scenes from the movie made me like this more.

As for the music, you get another Bonus here, the songs were awesome, I think I'll be getting some of their songs O: The Music was cut poorly though :/

I liked how you set the mood though, slower and silent scenes when the music was slower and when it started to boom you also started to use action scenes in the vid which turned out Good imo. Felt like more beat synch and actualy editing on the scenes would have been a lot better though.


Anyways,

2.4/5


Keep it up!
