Waaaaaaaaay better than your Excel video.

This showed you really listened to our complaints and made sure not to repeat the same mistakes. That puts you way ahead in my book.

G'jorb.

Dude, this was awesome. It fit Death Note so well and you made me miss the anime again T_T.

What scene was that when Light was screaming at a grave stone, I've never seen that before. Did they add DVD extras or something?

That was from the "Death Note Special: Director's Cut" It basically does the first 25 episodes in 2 hours. With a special ending, Light is basically yelling at L's grave : "I've won! What now??!!"

I liked it! thought some of the technical aspects could have flowed better ie how about adding in a little bit of facial expressions?? but otherwise excellent waste of time. definite crowd pleaser.

I liked it a lot.

Masks seemed weird to me, though I couldn't help but laugh at some points.

Good stuff.

Ok, time to catch up with replys...

Let me list this video's beauties.

*Gorgeous Video Quality
*Good Editing
*Beautiful Work of Parody
*Some of the Best Lip Sync I've Seen Ever
*Some of the best masking I've ever seen
*Good Atmosphere
*Makes references to the basic Death Note plot, while making it unique
*Nightmarish Comedy

If I had any critiuqe, it would have to be that a few scenes (Like at 1:18) lasted a tad too long.

It's just plain good people! A definite must-get on my highest of reccomendations.

Thank you, I'm very glad you enjoyed it.

It was my goal to give it a good balance of creepyness and comedy, or "Nightmarish Comedy" as you put it.

TwilightChrono wrote:Excellent Job. A nice escape from all the Emo Death Note Vids I have seen recently. I wish I could have been there though. Would have loved to tell you that personally.

Thank you! Yeah, I seem to like to play up the parody angle in my vids lately. Not a big fan of emo vids myself. Unfortunately I didn't really get to meet a whole lot of people from the org at Kumoricon, besides Guy.

Vivaldi wrote:O_o While I completely agree with your overall points and sentiments, I'm somewhat confused about point #1. The vast amount of macro blocking I saw literally broke me out of it for a second. At best I'd have to say Raws with little to no filtering.

Still didn't stop me from loving it though, 5/5.

I'm still learning all the ins and outs of AVISynth, so I'm not perfect with video quality yet, but I think I did pretty good with what I had

Glad you still like it

5/5...Obra maestra!

Thanks!

Meteor Dragon wrote:Mmmm I downloaded this yesterday? Yea...yesterday..Ok so...I found it interesting hehehe but I liked the video in sudden burst (certain sections). I felt like some scenes lasted a tad too long and at a times the characters expression didn't fit the tone of voice. 1:44 - 2-38 and the ending were Over all I enjoyed lol GJ

The crowd at Kumoricon loved 1:44-2:38. I don't think I've ever heard cheers as loud as I did for an AMV as I did for my chorus of random Shinigami. I felt real good about all the masking and lip sync I did for that section after that reaction

There were some pretty damn good vids at Kumoricon this year too! Thanks!

Was going to show up at AMV Iron Chef but was still in the reg line of dewm. Didn't my friend to waste away in the sun by herself, so I stayed. And the AMV dinner I couldn't do because of pre-made plans.

Obviously too much of my life is taken up by normal things. This must cease.

Why do you ask? Were you looking for me?

Oh, I just like to meet fellow editors and I thought ,since you were so active on the Kumoricon forum, that I'd see you at one of the meet ups.
