This video had some excellent sense of motion continuation in cutting and transitioning. It created a very seamless flow of action and camera-movements with some emotional motivator clips tossed in for the contrast sake. On its best, you couldn't really see where one clip ends and another one starts. That's class :up: While not exactly on-beat, the video always went very seamlessly.

Sometimes it was dragging somewhat though D: I mean, the motion continuation was excellent but it needed some more up and down hills on its pacing. I liked the use of drama clips for the slower parts but the action parts would have looked better with a faster pacing. It barely had any highlights nor a climax, which it really would have needed.

Still, I haven't seen such well executed action flow for a long time. This video really stands out on that part :up:

4/5

Just wanted to say the quality was gorgeous :3
I personally thought it was great, with some little anoyances like drum beat clip transitions. I can see where you were timing mostly through piano, drum, guitar, and lyrics so it was timed with variety which i liked.
I won't say I hated the shows you used since their popular among the masses, but you made it work that it wasn't "oh, another naruto/bleach/ect vid" 4/5 '3'

Congratz on your award!

To be honest, it was pretty average. It wasn't bad, but nothing really to distinguish it from hundreds of similar videos either. I didn't feel much of a connection between the various anime, the cuts were a bit jarring, and the mood buildup was sporadic. It might have something to do with the fact that the art styles were fairly different; going straight from Shana to Inu Yasha just doesn't transition quite right. Just my thoughts on it.

I agree with you there. I wish so much that I had had more time to work on it. I'm gonna see if I can get a revised version out at some point.

Thanks! :) I know a lot of the shows I put in are overused, but I used them because I love them not because they're popular. It's nice to you you saw that too. ^_^

Lol. I can see where you're coming from on that. It does seem an odd mix doesn't it? I suppose the only real connection between the various anime is the character's need to never give up. :)

I wasn't sure if there was any intial theme that was holding with this, but I personally thought that the mood and beat really made this.

I thought most of the scene selections were great in all the beats you put them at. I didn't feel it was completely sync, but it was very relative enough to know where you were going next. Very uplifting. Great job!
