As far as crits go, I know that it's not unusual to get conflicting opinions. I have watched colorguard competitions where some shows the whole audience loved, and I cringed... or vice versa. I know that AMVs are going to be like finely choregraphed shows, one person will like it, and another won't. I can understand that, but when something is mentioned a few times, you should take a look in your approach, yes?
I think the biggest confusion I have is with SYNC. What makes good sync? Some Ops I got say good sync and mood, others say no sync, and I failed to pull off the mood. Especially when someone says that I'm lacking sync on a vid where I worked really hard on the sync, it was surprising. Now I think half of my problem is that I switch between lyrical sync, musical sync, and beat sync all in the same AMV - it depends on whatever my ear is hearing the most, and what I'm trying to accent. (Again, my background tends to lend me to hear almost everything in the music, and if I had twenty to thirty people to work with, I'd have an organized chaos dance show. lol. Maybe that's why I find a lot of vids on here well sync'd personally) So maybe for someone who can only follow beat sync, if I'm doing a lyrical maybe it will seem off??? So, is it wise to pick only one type and stay with it? For example, someone mentioned the timing when Byakuya's swords for his Bankai come up being off sync (3:12-3:13) in my Moments of Despair vid, and I had synced it to come up on the first symbol crash after a verse (no words) and the word "life" (first word in the next verse), and someone found it off sync which means I'm possibly missing something in how I'm syncing. I know everyone is not going to agree with my sync's, but it was mentioned enough to make me wonder.
So I guess I'm asking: What do you look for in sync? What makes awesome sync. Do you sync to only one type through out, or do you switch? (Obviously if you are doing lyrical, and there are no words at the time, you will switch to beat or musical, but do you switch mid verse?)
I can understand differences in mood, that will happen. But sync is fundamental to an AMV, to have such differences in opinion....????
Am I even making sense?
If you don't know what colorguard is, you can check out (yes I'm going to say it) you----tube, under my screen name Animedays22 I have a playlist of winterguard competitions. But basically CG is flag spinning, rifle spinning, saber spinning, other object spinning, dance, choreography, and theatre all in one. lol.
I wanted to go to Corps, but it's expensive... I saw the list of fees that people who joined the independant guards paid (drum corps for marching season, and winterguard for winter and spring seasons), and that dream was out the window my freshman year of college. Oh well...but team captain by sophmore year in high school and college, and instructor by junior year in college looks great on resumes 
so I can't complain too much about my missed dream.
