A Banned Concert

Personally, I didn't like it.... -_-

But technically speaking, it was really well done and very well executed. Nice visual quality and effects. Song and video synced very well together, and I was all-around impressed.

4.00/5.00

That was definitely cool.

Having seen some helicopters at the beginning, I thought that the crazy policemen are going to shoot everybody down in that club with machine guns or something like that. It disappointedly ended with lonely Motoko, who missed all the fun. Oh, I was upset. The story part is really underdeveloped to my mind. You say, your primary objective was a concert video and, yes, it was well done, but this comment deepens the feeling that the storyline is an inferior decoration used to give some minimum sense to the video.
This is a strong and worthy video with an original concept, though I can`t say it couldn`t be done significantly better. The oval thing and other self-made stuff are indeed too distinct comparing to not so clean footage.

Ahhh, as a true son of Piter and Russian rock enthusiast I totally approve the idea behind this video!

Interesting way to capture an underground concert athmosphere - I think it worked quite well for the most part!

I agree that a lot more could've been done with it; there's actually really little interaction between the concert, sex and the "police search" here... on the other hand the parts themselves (save for some overly-cyberpunk police technology) were pretty convincing.

Nice experiment. I say it's quite successful!

Ooooo nice I think this video was very well edited good job 5/5 =) and I loved the song!! Could of used better visual quality source but what can you do when your low on source material. I loved it though. NANA is a really good series. Congrats.

4.45/5

-The editing was cool and really nice. The animes worked pretty good together, but the GitS stuff stinged a bit out.
-The idee itself is great. No question here, but there are flaws in it.
-How you edited the band into the song was really good. Not perfect if you ask me, but very hard to make it better.
-I think that the female charackter for the singer didn´t matched in thermes of editing. They didn´t really worked together or seamed real like the rest of the band sometimes.

1:40 The song goes really good with awesome mood and you really give me THIS scene for this relative long amount of time? Hell no!

The final really dissapointed me. I sat there and yelled out: "What? That´s the great final I have waited for? She just goes in? What a bad joke" =/ Just one damn police officer? I hoped for a big ratia or something! Just the : "Meh... They´re all already gone"-end. Yeah it really dissapointed me. She just goes in and that´s it. No final expression on Motoko´s face or something better.

Edit:
Some people say that the story part is underdeveloped. Mhmm I don´t think so. I read the small video info first and got it. Not hard to get it though. Just the end was dissapointing.

Very nice and original video. The concept was great, the sync was nice, especially the concert parts. The idea impressed me, and the way you realized it - too - without spending time in the video itself, but introducing the characters in the end. The ending when she goes in is cool too, as expected when the song ends - no action needed.

4.5/5

Хи, Gaurrrry... здорова

Great video!
I'm just wondering why didn't you participate with this one in the AKROSS AMV contest... didn't have much time to finish it before deadline or something? Whatever the circumstances were, that's pretty sad. And i'm saying like this 'cause i really liked the video and i think it would've been end up somewhere in the top 5-10 (or even higher) best videos on that contest after voting if you've participated.

Ru: в общем представляю какой тебе облом. видео то отличное! ...не считая концовки, как-то резковато все закончилось. хачу еще! ^.^

About an ending: in the first variant I, as well as many would like, did in that direction, that the police grandiosely rushes on this underground concert. But video I wished to make positive therefore such radical end I have replaced softer.
