Hello there ^^
This is my first amv on a-m-v.org though I've been editing for a while now. This is also only my second attempt with Final Cut Express and I would greatly appreciate constructive criticism. Tell me what you liked, what you disliked and what could be done better in your opinion. I am happy to share my amvs with you but on the other hand I want to learn and improve. And your feedback helps a great deal to do that

Had the video quality been better, this would have been truly epic. It was well edited, very atmospheric, and fits the song's mood very well. The small audio touches with the bullets firing was very nice. Also, it was a very unique combination of anime to say the least. Also, the part with Shirley from Code geass and the part around two twenty just about made me cry.

Definilty a keeper on my part, but like I said, I wish that it was better quality, and the few watermarks would have been better removed or cropped out.

Well, I can't really agree with code to much here. The pacing felt incredibly off to me. I think you really tried too hard and wound up over editing the video big time. I like the idea a lot, and this is one of the few instances where Ef didn't bother me too much. So that's a plus in any case. The pacing just felt bad to me throughout the video tho and it really killed it for me. The song edits were a bit iffy too.

I think I'll have to stick with ShadowNos's video to this song.

i actually enjoyed it. if the quality was better it wouldve been a better watch.

the ending was a little off. shouldve slowed it down more

other than that i liked it. good job =)

the video didn't really grab me emotionally, but there was a lotta nice footage you spliced together. i gave it 4 *s

Overall it had potential to be much better, in my opinion.

Some parts were kindda odd. Per example, the Air fotage usage at arround 1:48 was kindda of a mood killer, too bright and in no way as dramatic as the song suggests. Ok, it was actually 0% dramatic. The video was also kindda oversynched near the end.
That said, there were also pretty nice parts and the video overall had a pretty nice mood.

3,5/5 lawl

With some quality and editing (audio editing included) fixes, it would be a pretty good Amv

This.

The video was alright.
Most of the comments summed up what I thought of the video.

I liked it, but I can agree with Arashinome in that it did feel a bit over edited in some places. Your transitions were really nice, a few of your Lelouch clips at the end seemed a bit out of place in a girlie vid. I really liked the eye into bead mask... Good work

[Knowname]

Yeah this video is just plain astounding. Awesome stuff! Hope you make more like this!

I felt a little lost in the beginning, then you started hitting just in time and it was so cool that you can even forget the creepy quality

a little overcharge in the ending, I barely notice it was allen the one playing in the background, and until the second time I watch it

4/5 way to go!
