Both of them were good, but i think I prefer Sana's Circus a bit more.
Regardless, 4/5 on both
Hey thanks!! I'm actually a big fan of yours so that means a lot.

Dude...that is just cruel and ignorant. In order to download videos from this site you have to be a member (DUH!) I was a fan of AMVs before I actually started making them in earnest. I started making them around last April (Less then a year... so yes I'd say I am still a beginner). One of my first videos even won a at CTcon last summer...not that this is a huge accomplishment but one I am proud of all the same.Gaurry_no_blond wrote:1) Look when MishaGirl has joined.ArashinomeAMV wrote:Wow, dude, do you ever offer ANY constructive criticism? Since you seem to think nearly every video you comment on is trash, why don't you explain what is bad about them, and suggest ways to improve them? Enlighten us, oh Russian guru of AMV knowledge.
2) Look this video.
In this case it is impossible to name absence of sync and elementary editing an error of the beginner. The author did not try at all. It is disrespect for the spectator. It is trash.
Now obviously you missed this fact but this was a CHALLENGE video made in 12 hours. That includes ripping the footage and downloading the song, and coming up with a concept. I did try very hard....and was incredibly tired by the end (it was like 6am when we finished). I know it was not the best (HELLO!? 12 hours!! I never made a video over 30 seconds on my own before!) but I thought is was alright considering. I know I could do better with more time.
Please try to at least be poliet in your future non-helpful comments.

If it is what i think it is saying, as I already addressed...made in 12 hours and I'm only started making videos a year ago.

Ah! I totally see what you are saying...I was going for a less literal translation of the song then Attagirljr though. My video was less about "performing/dancing" and more about how Sanas' life was like a circus (aka: chaotic) so I wanted the the drama. If I were to catagorize this video, it wouldn't be a fun/up beat or comedy video...it WOULD be drama. I agree with your rating though...especially if my concept wasn't clear.ZaCloud wrote:Well, I can say with certainty that I believe attagirljr is the winner, so that's my vote!
"The Three Rings of Kodocha" was decent, had a few fun scenes, but overall it wandered too far away from the theme and atmosphere of the song. While the whole song was fun-loving and upbeat, there were too many scenes that were dragged out and story-related and not enough about just performing/dancing. Crying and hugging and talking to people didn't complement the song well enough and would belong more in a drama video. 2.5/5, rounded to 3/5
"Sanas Circus" was great. Lots more scene changes, and the scenes chosen were far more fitting for the subject matter and song's energy. Far more examples of dancing and hyperness and fun. The first "When I crack that whip" was priiiiiceless! (though all instances of such were good too). Heck, the scenes were very well chosen in terms of not only the energy, but also lyric-sync, either literally or figuratively, and there's even action-sync which I always adore. So, excellent effort and well thought-out. 5/5

Bosh. Anything from this does not explain absence of synch. That the nobility that-such synchronisation in amv, it is not obligatory to do it.

Man, I felt like I had to come back to post just to criticize your English, and wonder if you can see the correlation. That last post was too incoherent to be insulting.
Your experience with English is about the same as Misha's with editing.

Re: AMV Challenge! Two vids. Same footage/song, different
To be honnest if taken as just videos I'm not really a fan of either of these, however considering the conditions underwhich they were made and their length is the reason i gave these both really high marks in effort when I gave my ops, not everyone is a really fast editor or good a IC style marathons. Have i seen better made in 12 hours? yes, but they were from much more experienced editors who set out with a different purpose.
Guarry is entitled to their opinion for good or ill, hence why i didn't make a fuss when he/she trashed my latest video, nor were there people jumping in to defend me in fact Arashinome I recall you found guarry's comments fine at that time when you argeed with him not realising which video he was even talking about
so he's ok when you want to bash on someone but not the other way around riiiiite
I don't actually care though if some people don't like what I make, i tend to edit what's stuck in my head not for the masses, so some like it some hate it, some don't care.
Although Harsh I agree with some of the points he makes about mine and other peoples vids, and not with other points and I leave it at that.
Mishgirl, it's not meant as a personal attack from guarry try not to take it that way, his standards are just very high. Your video is not that bad, but it's all up to how the veiwer takes it *shrugs* you can't control other people's reactions
just how you respond to them
