Nice to see some constructive comments here. :) I watched the video after I read the first comment (when someone claims something is terrible you just gotta check it out right?) and of course, I think as far as editing goes, the author did a good job. It's not exactly my type of song or editing style, but I think they go along fine and even I laughed at a few parts. ^_^

Now then... MP4 has nothing to do with the quality; the video is simply encoded at too low a bitrate (a 2 minute video under 10MB..?) to achieve good quality. Most high-quality AMV on the site are well over 1500kbps. Resolution is another issue - not sure why this was encoded at 320x240 - I am assuming for upload to YouTube? Standard NTSC resolution is 720x480.

yah, what was with that guy's bullshit about Not knowing the true meaning to any MSI song?.. I fucking love MSI, but I'll be the first to tell you that about 94% of their music is about as deep as a teacup. You don't have to look much to find the "true meaning" or whatever.

I am also not downloading because I figure it'll be Frost's vid, but slightly worse.

XDD "Kill the Rock for dummies"

Well, I've got to admire the effort you put into it - and did that rock have any significance or was it a random rock?

You repeated a whole section of footage, too, at 1.34. Plus it didn't look like the rock was integrated into the footage well - it was just floating around surrealy. And it was the wrong size for some of the footage.

Overall, not bad, but there is some room for improvement. But it was a fun vid. ^^

LOL well you have to actually watch the video to understand what I meant about him not getting any meaning of the song whatsoever >_>. He was WAY off!

Dazza's post Helped me guess that he prolly poorly masked a rock into all these places.. either that or my initial guess which was that he made it about rock lee.

Yep, it makes no sense whatsoever. Was it suppose to be a joke or a misinterpretation of the song? I understand if he was trying to be original, but using Naruto just doesn't go well with the concept(and will make everyone think it's a rip off of Frost's video) BTW by "TRUE" meaning, of course I was talking about the "virginity taking" part of the song. Sorry if I emphasized "TRUE" to be something deep or anything >_>

Seriously, did you even listen to the song? Or did you just hear "rock?" It says stuff like, "What that thing down there was used for." You must listen to the lyrics, unless like ShatteredFlame said, you were trying to make a joke.

(there was a rock floating about, but it looked like it had some engraving on it or something)

XDDD That's a good idea, actually (Rock Lee) - I'd like to kill him :D

Yeah, it's obvious that this song is about killing Rock Lee. Did he get killed in this video? No. Fail.

Yes the video and audio quality was somewhat poor, but not as bad as you'd expect from the vast majority of Naruto videos out there.
ACTUALLY, this is just exactly the kind of crappy quality as bad as you'd expect from the vast majority of Naruto videos out there.



Now to get to actual Feedback:



It sucked.




Why?


Read the other people's posts, I don't feel like pointing out the same again.

Only one Thing to add: The Aspect Ratio was wrong.

1/5
