Had some nice moments, but it was overall rather uninteresting. If anything, I enjoyed it for the song.

Well, I must say I liked the start, but I kinda see what Requiett meant by saying it doesn't keep the pace. There could be waaaaay more be going on and more could've been synced however it might have gotten to repetitive if you synced all the beats so I guess it's a duable compromise still I would have liked a little more actiony editing considering the song you chose. The effects where nicely integrated though, and not having seen major parts of the show I sometimes had to wonder if it was blended AE or in the series itself and in some cases I'm still not sure. So good work. :)

I have never heard this song nor seen the anime, though recently I did see an episode of Noein that peeked my interest in researching the series more. This video re-enforces my interest in it.

There aren't many instrumental videos that retain my focus from beginning to end, and even less that I keep in my collection. On first impression I thought it was cool enough to warrent repeat viewing, at least to gauge a more critical review.

I loved the beginning, but as others pointed out the momentum slows down nearly halfway and only seems to get back on track toward the end. There's nothing wrong with the editing or timing - it's skillfully crafted but without any attention to originality (nothing most people haven't seen before).

Overall it's definately a video I recommend, especially for those interested in seeing how a really good instrumental AMV should be made.

P.S. I didn't notice until I looked it up - you made that MADLAX video, it's like my #2 pick! :lol:

thanks for all your comments.
I like the first part also best because i spend the longest time on that part the rest is done is one week. And im not a fast editor like some other people. I cant create something within a week. So thats why im kinda proud of what i did i such short time.

Im certainly will going to do a upbeat video again but i promised my self eventhough a deadline is coming near im not going to rush it again. Didnt like doing that, so that a lesson that i learnt from this video.

But anyway, Im still happy that people like it. thanks for the comments

Very nice. Effects-heavy videos are usually not my thing, but I liked this one a lot. :)

What Warheart and Requ already said.

I don´t think that this often doesn´t fit the song. Not only in terms of scene motion. This song doesn´t seam to be a good one to edit to. There was this KARAS vid some time ago that failed somekind too.
I often liked the use of effects. I can´t tell what exactly was an effect and what was original so good work here.

Shame on you for your complete failure to use the infinitely superior dust brothers mix.

In all other respects: :up:

I'm a fan of your previous work, and I enjoyed this one as well. The beginning was definitely stronger, but still nice job. :)

I liked it. The only complaints: on the slow moments of song video is unsynced with music.
