Anyway, thanks to those who voted for me, I'm going to upload a MP4 later if anyone is interested. And TC, like heck you're retiring! You can't just introduce me to ICs then leave, ya jerk XD
Thanks. I appreciate that.In all honesty, TC, I think this was your best edited IC vid ever.
I liked the hidden emotion you portrayed in it. I agree some fight scenes were kinda off, but it's also understandable, working off of just one disk and such.
You know, frankly I was thinking alot about that when I was rewatching some of you cascada beta's and some of your old stuff. You have a very unique style regarding hard cuts and external sync. It's not normal, but I always saw too much meticulous effort put toward it to say it's bad. I think your style really came into it's own with Memories Of Hate-Final Resolution. It had just the right mix of your style and conventional guidelines. At first I didn't like it because it didn't fit at all with my preconceived notions of how that song should be edited. But when I viewed it a week or so later with a more objective mindset, it was much, much better than I had remembered. That's when I realized that you weren't editing wrong, you were just editing your own way. I think from now you should just concentrate on perfecting your own style instead of bending over backwards to copy the "accepted" style of pretty much every other editor on the org.TwilightChrono wrote:Anyway, thanks to those who voted for me, I'm going to upload a MP4 later if anyone is interested.

Well, I don't know what to say. I'm just sick of getting all this advice from everyone, then when I finally use it, it's a "You can't do that" or a "It doesn't look right"
What happened to:
"Never switch from a high movement scene to a slow scene unless you can transition it well"?
Just curious because I tried my damndest to slow it down with smooth transitions to match the pace of the song and lyrics. I followed that advice to the "T" and here everyone says: "It looks weird" "You can't do that"
This is why I want to retire, because nothing I ever do, no amount of editing, or taking advice will ever make up for the fact that nothing I edit will apparently ever be good enough. Just seems like hypocrisy plays a big role here on the org. Apparently I'm losing because of the advice given here on the org. It's why I keep getting upset. Maybe I should just damn everyone else and do things my own way.
Anyway, I'll consider staying. But if things keep going the way they are, the I frankly will stop.
Hagaren. You and Phan are the only ones that don't renig on the advice you give me. I appreciate that. Phan always leaves such detailed info on my QC's and it helps a lot. And you are always willing to beta test my vids XD
Thank you. THANK.....YOU!! This is probably the one and only response I was really looking for.You know, frankly I was thinking alot about that when I was rewatching some of you cascada beta's and some of your old stuff.

This IC illustrates that perfectly. Hagaren's (no offense to Hagaren) was pretty, proper, and highly generic. But it did everything "right". Your's had mistakes, but I noticed every single cut you made. The editing felt more "vibrant" if you will. I wouldn't have been able to guess the exact tone of the video just from reading the description.
TL;DR
You've had your own style from day one, and I've seen it when it works. When other people try to correct you, they're trying to conform you to a generic style. Don't let them erase what makes your videos, yours. (I've been guilty of this in the past as well)
Also, damn near everyone else on the org is just as amature as you are. There's no big set of amv making rules everyone's keeping from you, so any advice they give you will 90% of the time be pulled straight from their ass. Take it into consideration, but don't let it guide you.
(PS, I probably would have voted for you had it not been for the aspect ratio, regardless of the scene with envy.)
I'm sorry Vivaldi. I've probably never said this to someone concerning AMVs, but you're wrongVivaldi wrote:Also, damn near everyone else on the org is just as amature as you are.
