THe best way that I can litterly describe this is that if Chii and Darius GQ's videos (Attack of the Otaku and Spoil) had a child togeter and this would be the result. Well, sort of.

It is very heavily reliant on the effects and rotoscoping and shiney goodness that is the background and text and arrows. From wat I could see, there is no real "plot" other than *insert shiney video footage here*. Attempts at lip sync could have been tigher. It almost does not even relatively match the lyrics in the music.

The attempt at arrows and text to portray a dialouge was long and annoying, IMO.

Clips chosen were too long and to oveused. I am so sick of seeing that Haurhi rock band scene (though that's not your fault. Cilps also unfortuently did not match hardly anything going on in the lyrics or the overlal feel of the video.

For a slightly upbeat song, this is a very slow-paced editing scheme. IT didn't fit the song hardly at all, and that lost major brownie points.

2.00/5.00

Also, I would love to point out that I very rarely bitch about filesize, but 95 MB is really pushing it.

So your main problem is, that there is no plot in the AMV (It's true, i'm not rly intended to make something like that, but as i can see this is a problem) and the lyrics not fit in the AMV?

thx for the reply, next time i watch for these.

That was my main gripe, I suppose. What also annoyed the tar out of me was the arrow effects. It really didn't add anything to the video except "look I'm pretty".

But I must say that I was intriqued by those arrow effects. Were they presets or were they hand-made.

Most of the Arrow scenes are part of the original Shuffle! Game OP, i only modified them a little. (Mostly where they had texts)

As for why i put them in the AMV: Mostly because i thought the "look I'm pretty" is enough

, and you can find them almost everywhere in the anime and game. So i thought they will look good in here to.
