Great job with the masks :D I know this anime is hard to rotoscope but you pulled it off really well. I also liked how you made the characters black and white.
As for the video itself it was kinda slow for me. But I can tell you put a lot of effort into it, so good job :up:

I actually thought this was pretty neat.

I only got this for the artist, but this video surprised me.

There was a good concept and you stuck with it throughout the video.

I thought the editing was solid, but some transitions were sloppy or weren't executed well enough.
I did like some of the hard cuts, but sometimes you need to fade in.
Also, some of the scenes were extended too long which made it look awkward.

Overall, it was a solid amv with a good concept, but needed to be polished in some spots.

4/5

Aside from your technical issues this video was pretty awesome, wish more vids would be like this.

You really need to look into your frame rate issues though; either you were slowing the footage down too much or your project was set to a different frame rate then your source because I saw some "lagging" and blended frames in there. May want to look into what exactly is causing that.

Your video quality could have also been a bit better, looked a little iffy in a few places. This could be due to the frame blending as well.

Your idea was pretty good, I liked the shift about 3/4's through the video into color (on the characters at least), really good tonal shift at that point in the video and through the rest of it; my favorite scene was probably at 2:22 where Blacks world opens up into the light and the blues that the song is talking about. Really great selection on your part there.

Overall pretty solid, needs some technical issues to be fixed though as well as some questionable quality.

3.5/5 :up:

I am new into this. I had several problems...Frame rate were really a problem for me also I had to convert to another format because Sony vegas did not recognize the video.
I will try later reupload the video with a better quality.

I appreciate your honesty. Thanks for your coment ;)
