Welcome to the org! For being your first video it was enyoiable. I usually don't like apocalyptica but this song was nice, different of the concept I had.
You seem to know what you're doing respectinc sync, however, in my opinion, samurai champloo battle scenes are too fast for the music (not imposible to sync but harder) maybe if you do it with the hits each drum :sweat:.
3/5

PS. Use vidid.

Thank you for taking the time to comment :D

I understand where you're coming from about the fight scenes being too fast for the music. I did indeed find them difficult to synch at times. Unfortunately it was the only anime I had on my hard drive at the time :sweat:

Also, forgive the noob question, but what's vidid? :oops:

Okay, that wasn't nearly as bad u_queen made me think. I didn't realize until after I watched it that it was your first, well done.

The main thing I'd have to commend this for is it's great internal sync. There were two part especially that were fantastic. You could really tell that you really worked to put it there, rather than it accidentally syncing up. You managed to fit the battle scenes into the slower tone quite well. Great job :up:

Now to put that into perspective, I did think that in general the amv was rather shallow when compared to how powerful the song is. Hand in hand with that, some of the scene selection was off. There was also a few technical problems (Borders on some parts, quality) but nothing gamebreaking
