Nice use of the song; definitely.
Great video :wink:

You always capture the perfect mood to the song (in all your videos), and so, your scenes selection is, as usual, perfect.

Huhm, it turns out you were right when you said your last video was going to use this song. But is your end just the end of your beginning? Er, beginning of... Crap.

Pretty solid editing. :up: The ending was a bit weak compared to the rest of it in my opinion. I'd still give it a 4/5. I need to actually watch this movie, both anime and live action.
Your opinion fails.

Still nice to watch :D 3/5
There is no such thing as overuse of crossfades.

I could tell straight away that I won't like this anime XD
The song isn't slow. The song is epic. =O

Though, when I saw just crossfades. It bored me a little.

Sold editing.

:up:

If you find crossfades boring then you're obviously on the wrong trend of amvs.

GTFO.

Smashing Pumpkins ftw.
DayWalker B. wrote:This was cool. You captured the dark mood of the song and animé very well overall. But, much like the song, it didn't really have a climax and stayed calm throughout, so it might get a little boring after a while. I personally thought you did a good job on the editing though, as it was fitting (since you complemented the song so well) and solid altogether.

Glad you liked it.

3.5/5
You're wrong.

QC wrote:# 2008-08-05 13:28:15 should've just left it at 720x480, and raised the 16:9 AR flag with zarxgui; the quality would have looked much better since you can have a higher bitrate at 720x480, instead of wasting extra bits/filesize on the 18% stretch to 848x480 which doesn't improve the quality to begin with... and you'd need to use a lower bitrate to accomodate. You could have done the same thing with the upscaled 720p version by making it 960x720, and raising the 16:9 AR flag... But enough with the technical junk-- the vid itself was pretty haunting. Good work.
I don't care? If you'd actually bothered to read the vid info you would have noticed that I didn't do the renders for this video, so I don't care about the correct flagging to make it "better". This is a QC worthy of Kevmaster. Anyone who spends more time commenting on the technical/encode than they do on the video and/or editing is in this hobby for the wrong reason.
