haruhi with this song........ u gotta be faxing kiddin me..... :shock:
/hesitates......




/get's -__-



Edit: well, Im sorry to say I Did not enjoy this at all, I got a feeling watching something like a parody or a fun haha joke video. the combination between a deep drama/romace song and a 'happy-fun-gogo!' type of anime was not the best. editing wise it was alrite, flow was pretty good and the way of sync at some parts looked pretty nice, but ur scene selection was what threw me off the most. it made it feel so unserious...

and i apologize that i may sound a bit harsh but it's one of my favorite songs and would have perfered a more fitting drama video for this song.

anyway. 2/5

I didnt like this video to much when it started. The use of the boarders(think thats what it was) effect in vegas look kind of ugly. I think the lip sync didnt look to great as in it didnt seem to fit well since the video is drama/romance. Lip sync never really works in drama/romance videos. As the video progressed I found it interesting that you focused more on Mikuru which is somthing iv never seen in other suzumiya videos. The video had a really nice mood, you had pretty nice scene selection most of the time.



3.5/5 .... ill round it to 4 cause I can see your improving :up:

Your uphill suddenly stopped in Sky Reflector O:

I didn't really like this. The scene selection was you average Haruhi fun. Why are Haruhi videos always so random? O.o They just don't make sense. It's like it takes a lot of skill to actually 'explore' the anime. Even centering properly on one relationship seems to be difficult.. Anyway, unfortunately this video was not an exception to that. It just shows a bunch clips with Haruhi, Kyon and Mikuru but doesn't really do anything with them.

I don't mind the combo. I think it seems right, even though I generally dislike the music genre.. Your sync was kinda hard to follow though. It's like you were syncing on 'wrong' things whereas a lot of good potential beats etc. were left unused. The video was just too slow for this song. It just didn't have the energy of it, nor the anime. If it had kept up with the song, the overall effect would have been a lot better.. Gotta like the use of fast drum beats though and the occasional flashes were just fine.

Just another Haruhi video.. 3/5

I understand what you mean about another anime being a better choice, since this anime isn't really about this kind of thing, thanks for watching :)

yeah, Haruhi might not have been the best choice, but I did want to try this out =). Thanks for checking this out =)

The white borders may have been a bit much, I agree, and as for the lip sync... well I guess I just decided to do that. Thanks for watching and I do hope I am improving, but reading some of these comments I can't really say =P

Sorry to disappoint you (again o.o). Seems that I couldn't get the story across properly, reading all the comments here. As for the sync, I didn't do too much beat sync here, I was going more for the mood, but I think it ended up looking like I synced some of the intermediate beats in the video unintentionally, I should watch out for that next time ><. Thanks for watching =)

Darn you! Daughtry is my territory. T.T

I actually had a similar video down on paper and was going to try and do it this summer. I'll probably still go through with it, since it's not close to this one.

Anyway, here are my little gripes.

*I got sick of the guy constantly touching his hand. That really bugged me after the second time.

*Editing mood was right on target. The Anime/Song worked well together, as well as with the editing.

*Actual scene cutting could have been better. I felt as though a lot of the scenes were too long and could have used some major trimming.

*Lip Sync needed some work too.

*Concept was sound and well executed. Nice way to make an original Haurui Video!

Overall, a keeper for me because I'm a sucker for Daughtry and because this concept intrigued me. :O

3.75/5.00
