AvC Round 2: Action

While I preferred cals video in round 1 due to kickass flow and action sync I will vote for alex this go around.

Cals IC showed an interesting approach with the hard cuts but disrupted the flow a little (6.7/10).
The multilayering on the upper and lower third of the screen got a little old after a while in alex' vid, but the thing really got me from 0.50 and on (7/10).

so, close call I guess. ;p

Both vids are hot for me, but Prod´s worked somehow better for me. I vote for him.

You both really have fx down. In terms of mood sync, Warheart wins, as for plain action Mr DJ wins.

Wow, I can totally tell you can do so much with that eva footage I can't wait to edit with that..

oh yeah, for whats important.. joy factor. Warheart wins that(the way you edit the footage to the audio and also that footage was damn interesting)

Over all

DJ 3/5
Warheart 4/5

Wow, both of those videos were really awesome! I think I have to go with warheart's though, since the other one seems much more simplistic (lots of plain flashes, for example) even though it was still very well edited.

Well I'm glad I waited till now to post primarily because I'm bored at work but also because every one has already said nearly everything I would have said.

Cal - I hate evangellion with a passion, so i was "barely" able to stomach this. so comments other than what has been said already: I think this would be rated 4th best among the eva vids that I have seen (and there's a lot), your sync was kinda choppy for about a 20 second block in the first half and then gor shit loads better in the second half. It really did look "random" with scenes all over the shop and your sync in the second half was not very dynamic (ie, you did internal sync for a section, then went to cutting for another section etc) kinda stuck in chunks and blocks :\, Visual quality looked sexy, but overall I felt disconnected to the song *shrugs*

Alex - the bad points have already been pointed out by others so ontop of those are: I hated you audio it made watching this almost painful, and you seemed to be doing almost the same stuff (overlays etc) as on previous vids it really didn't feel very original or "new", much beeter mood sync here tho and it has a semblance of a story line or continuity not a very strong one tho, I was dissapointed in the visual quality (but I saw that first xvid so I've no idea if you made it better) but I really felt this flowed better than Cal's esp when you song changed pace and the sync styyle was well mixed and dispersed throughout the vid.

So all in all I'm voting German and not burly this time.

I dunno why, but I just liked Cal's vid better...no real reason cause they were both good. I dunno, Cal's gets my vote.
