im sorry =/ I just cant get into this video...


the way you hit beats was annoying... and you hit beats and didnt hit them when they came up 4 seconds later.

through most of the video it looked like scenes were changing randomly and not really on beat... some where but it just looked so random =/

on the slower parts of the song it seemed there was to much movment in the clips like from 2:15 - 2:31

and from 2:35-2:48... I didnt mind the circles coming on beat and the clips had a very nice mood through that whole segment but I think you should have faced the clips into each other.

naruto lipsync <.>

naruto lipsync <.>

For once, I agree with Rocket.
Random flashing and scene changing, bad masking and Naruto lip sync =_=

The most tolerable bit of the song, was the slower part. The circles however, I felt dissipated too quickly and should have lingered a bit longer.

I get your concept, it's an easy one to understand, but the overall randomness of this video lost me, not to mention the beat syncing with no beats (at least that I could hear) o.O

Sorry, I guess this just wasn't for me either.

One more thing...

HOLY LENSFLARES BATMAN!!! :O


Actually didn't mind those too badly, but I just had to say that xD


Edit: Totally forgot, thanks Niwa.
Ummm...Aspect Ratios? o.O wot happened?

Circles were too fast for my taste and Naruto lipsync as already said was badly done, but the rest is really nice :D 4/5 ^^

well, it was upbeat for sure O.o and I guess thats why I liked it...

I disagree with a lot of the editting though, clips when to fast for the song, choppy transitions between the scenes, these clip flashes when there was no reason to flash (o.O;), the circle cookie cutters and the totally unfitting and akward naruto lip synch mask o_o...


The Thing that bugged me the most were the fucked up Aspect ratios.

When you make a Multi-anime video, don't just stretch the 16:9 footage to make it fit with the 4:3, it looks ugly and retarded. Please either crop the 16:9 scenes out to 4:3 or the other way around (4:3 to 16:9) to keep correct aspect ratio...

Thank you. :) The only thing I would have changed about the Naruto lipsynch was I could have put more movement into it but I was about an hour from the dealine when I did it so there was no time.
Shinodude wrote:you hit beats and didnt hit them when they came up 4 seconds later.
Well, any of those were mainly cause I was editing on 4 hours of sleep.

Random? Where do you get that? Unless you completely missed the fact that 90% of the hits were on the voice and not the music.
Shinodude wrote:on the slower parts of the song it seemed there was too much movment in the clips like from 2:15 - 2:31
I just don't agree. Those sections may not have had a lot of voice/beat hits to them but they had a lot of energy and to put less movement in would have made the clips seem too slow.

Trust me. Nothing in that vid is random.
Radical_Yue wrote:The most tolerable bit of the song, was the slower part. The circles however, I felt dissipated too quickly and should have lingered a bit longer.
I kept them as long as each piano note played.
Radical_Yue wrote:Ummm...Aspect Ratios? o.O wot happened?
The only ones that were a problem were Shana and Ah My Goddess. And I had no choice but to crop them. If I widescreened the whole thing I would have cut off many FX.

AND The Naruto movie.

Also, you could have cut your footage before editing, so no problems with effects cutting off or anything like that =)

That's the thing, I shouldn't have to go over it carefully because when you've got insane flashing clips as a transition to another scene, you expect to be able to hear what they're flashing along sync with. You shouldn't have to go looking for what it's synced to.

The scene changing did seem very random. I'm not the only one who thought this.

What was badly masked?
The Naruto lip sync. Naruto was badly masked. And I know you said you threw it in there for comedic relief, but the thing is, the video is drama/action. It just was totally out of place.

And since it is a drama/action video, I know quite a few people that won't see it as comedy thrown in, but an attempt at being dramatic (to follow the rest of the video and the song) and failing.

Yeah, but having them fade out slower could have looked nice. But that's my personal taste there.

When you make multi anime videos and you prefilter all of your footage differently, this is the time to prepare your footage with the correct aspect ratios.
You stretched the widescreen to fullscreen and it didn't look good at all.

Personally, when working with multi anime, if you've got wide screen footage in there, I'd just make the rest of the video Wide instead of killing the quality of the the wide screen footage.

But once again, that's my personal taste.




Sorry, but I just didn't like it.
There is no reason to get defencive about it =P


Also, this is the reason I don't usually post what I honestly feel about videos =\ Seems like every time you don't follow the crowd with "5/5 AWSM!!one1!1!" You have to defend your reasons =\
