A VERY simple romantic video with REC.

like finally =O
I saw the XviD version like 3 days ago

*checks*
doh its still the XviD version only lol, ok well my comments:

really enjoyed it, maybe cause this was a nice beat synched romance vid, and I enjoy beat synching

. Really nice editing and flow, and you showed like everything: happy, fun, romantic moments, etc. Really nice combination and that song was really amazing if you ask me

.

4/5 well deserved here

The encode sucks imo. Especially with 2000kbps it´s anoying. I think I should tell you how to encode a nice x264 =/ I think that you didn´t cleaned up the footage like you should. That´s what I think.

The amv itself:
-Yeah it´s really heavy christian rock. I hate it =/
-Seams that there comes again the nice Kaxi-yellow =D
-Sometimes I don´t think that you synced right. I think you overheard some stuff. Pretty often you sync one way and than you miss one or two of the seam beats or sync worhty part. imo

3.75/5

Uhm... I got the amv before the thread was open. Don´t think that I forgot to download...

It's so nice to see a new video from you! The editing was slick here as always, but two things bothered me :

-The song. It's live, and I feel like a normal romance concept like yours simply feels weird with a live song. It makes it original though, and people may enjoy it, which is why I didn't ask you to change it.

-At times, you seem to rely a bit too much on sync, not giving me enough time to get a feel for the characters. And in romance, feelings are what matter most.

Overall, solid video, and fans of REC should check this out!

O damn, I knew I was forgetting to do something >.>

Anyways, I didn't really care for those fast zooms. I can understand why you did it cause of the music, but they sort of annoyed me. Still, was a nice cute vid

That was on purpose.
Anyaway, thanks for your thoughts Bauzi.

You may be right, i don't know, it didn't bother me.

Interesting thought, you might be right, in that case, !chope me head off!

Anyway, thanks Greg!

Err...okay, I didn't like this. The editing was solid, don't get me wrong. I loved the synching and simple effects - that all worked just fine. But...the song? WTF? I just could not understand how the song matched up with REC at ALL. The lyrics are way too "Christian" (ugh, I hate using that word as an adjective :/ ) for the concept. Not only that, but the live version just did not feel right to me one bit.

Also, the scene selection was waayyyy too generic. Pretty much the entire video was just one closeup after the next - sure, you got a lot of angsty, potentially emotional shots, but there was no real story - even the proposed love story was lost on me.

The quality was above average - there's lots of artifacting and such throughout the whole thing, though, and it did distract me occasionally. On a scale of 1-10, I'd probably give the video quality a 7.

So basically, good editing, but the rest of the video is just a mess and could have used a lot of changes, I think.
