Karas: Devils Never Cry

Averex8 · Post by **Averex8** » Mon Jun 30, 2008 1:21 pm

This is my first AMV. The idea for this video was to go through the entire story of Karas from start to finish in order. The beginning explains the plot and the rest goes through the whole story. I know you're not supposed to use downloaded footage but I started this video before I read the rules and guides here so bare with me, the quality isn't that bad. tell me what you think.

Ooh. A firstie! :O

At first I was expecting a DMC video.

/gets

EDIT:

It was a neat concept. However, you fell flat in many aspects. The video quality was quite poor and hard to look at. Editing was interesting, but it fell short in any type of unqiue editing other than "fast song + high speed action". Still, it was a pretty average video in all other terms.

Thanks for the feedback and I apologize for the poor quality. I don't have any of the dvd's so downloading was my only option. I thought I was being unique by not just using a faced paced song with random action clips but I suppose my video does stand out somewhat in that fast song, high speed action category. This was my first AMV so hopefully I'll get better.

I thought that's what you said

Karas actually edits itself much like appleseed, wait a sec. do you mean that you thought putting random fights to fast-ish song was being original?

or is there a typo in there?

You need to work on transitions between clips and working with the music some more, not all that bad for a first video, and yeah the more you edit you should get better (unless you're ramonesfan

) but as a general rule, yes.
In order to help with your visual quality (if you dloaded HQ raws which it doesn't look like) there's some segments in --> Read <a href=http://www.a-m-v.org/guides/avtech31/>ErMaC & AbsoluteDestiny's Friendly AMV Guides</a> you should look at *cue someone linking to the new version*
You can also link to beta versions of your new videos and get some feedback before you finish them in the opinion exchange forum.

This would be the new version Autraya is talking about.

PS: I woke up early this morning but I'm going back to bed... I'll be getting this when I'll be fully awake. XD

edit: well, I... didn't really like it very much.
It felt like it was too slow most of the time, and quality didn't help.
I think I liked the part between 03:07 and 03:30, but for the rest I wasn't really able to enjoy it that much. Considering that it's your first, though, it's not that bad.

Wow. This reminded me intensely of my 5th AMV. Like, majorly.

But yeah, as far as amvs go it wasn't anything special. However, considering it was your first it wasn't at all bad. At the very least you're off to a good start.

considering this was your first amv it was neat. like it has been said before the quality is a poor but hey it is your first amv which is quiet good for a firsty

your going in the right path.

Well its good to know that I'm going in the right path, I'll definitely do better on my next video. And once again thanks for all the feedback.
