For some reason I was expecting "Higurashi no Naku Koroni" when i saw the title of this thread... I really can't see sola put to this song... Ya it has some murderous intent scenes but nothing really worthy. I'll give it a shot tonight and see what you did.

EDT:
OK, it was good but the way it was setup and executed is off. If the whole concept is the art of murder why is she prancing around smiling in a forest that looks like its straight out of a horror movie? There was no blood curdling scream either, you always need one of those followed by the impact of whatever weapon was used then bitter silence. I think some rain sound fx would of worked well to for the end. The music was just atmosphere so FX would of worked wonders. It would of been cool to have a loud scream right after she turned her head. You might of even scared some of your viewers that way. The ending was the best part... Befitting of the theme anyways.
Spoiler :
My only complaint here is that there wasn't really any blood spatter on the ground or anything while she was laying there dead in the rain. At least, I didn't see any anyways.
3.5/5 Had serious potential tbh but lacked the enhancements needed for the theme "Art of Murder".
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

Yeah, audio was that short, so we kinda had to rush the whole plot.
Thanks for watching!

Bauzi wrote:I think it was a nice attemp. Did you alter the song with sound effects? I mean this really nasty and dumb screamings when the red pictures flashing up? I bet that I have exactly the same samples in my collection and I can hardly think of any other sound effects who were worse for this job. =/

4/5 Could be a bit longer for setting up something like an interessting plot. Yeah it was somehow too much like random pictures on random 3D background. You know something like the figure of a man or another charcter observing this girl and than finaly killing her would be great (with the reflections of a knife in theire eyes at the almost last scene with the zoom).
No song changes. The screams were already there ;p
The masks might look like random picks for most of the viewers, but they should show the familiarity that the victim and the murderer had. They walk together through the forest while the murder intention of the murderer (the other girl from the intro) increases.
At the end you get to see the murderer reflected in the victim’s eyes ;p
Whole vid is from the view of the murderer (after the intro).
Thx for watching =)

Thanks for the review =)
Since we lacked time (made 3 days before the deadline), we hadn’t the time to get betatester and other suggestions. No blood splatter and stuff mostly because of time shortage.

Interesting concept and nice work with the forest. :O Think it may have done the vid some good if it were a little longer and you could more fully develop what you were trying to do. Nice job overall. :)
