I'm a newb with new vids... be gentle :P

[mchick101]

Hello, I'm new here to the org and have been working on amv's for just over 3 months. I'm still a newb (I admit) but I'm learning.
I just up'd a new video to the catalog and would like some comments, constructive please. I'm a sucker for sentimental/drama videos so this is what I did with this video.



I also added another video to the catalog but can't figure out how to compress it smaller and NOT lose it's quality to upload it here. I've tried several formats already and lost quality on it every time.
I would like some constructive comments on it too cause I took a completely different approach to this video. It's more action than dramatic.
I know most people dislike You*>Tube but is it cool if I post a link to the video?

I love In Flames, but the video was not good, cant finish watching. There was no speed and no sense of the scenes. they dont really fit to the music. The effects were also randrom and i thought, what was that and were was the synchro to the sound. so not really fitting. Sorry but that was not the best, think there can be better ones.
But i dont like bleach so i dont want to watch the new one, sorry.

Thank you for your reply. Honestly, it's not the first time I was told that the song didn't play in with the scenes on the In Flames vid. I was trying to go for the "viewer is watching an episode of Bleach" look (considering the lyrics) but I will be truthful and believe I failed at that goal. But I'm still learning.

The other video is a little better, in a sense that I'm still learning and incorporated a lot of what I've learned into The Bleeding.

Again, thank you.
Anyone else wanna take a shot

kinda liked the un-sync-able video intro

umm, no; action videos and that kind of music 'just don't do anything for me.

the good news; your on the right track - from what I was at u-tu-be.

Thanks, I guess it's 50/50 on the intro lol.


Anyways,
I've come to realize I didn't lurk these forums long enough... it's kind of a tough crowd in here
but I'm going to keep learning and making amv's and crossing my fingers that I can "wow" just one person someday.
