Awesome Code

The flow of this AMV just kept improving with every beta. And now, its perfect. As you already know, I think that you did a awesome job at comparing Taiga and Ami. Also, I fell that you made some really good choices for your scene selection. Thanks for asking me to beta test this :D

Oh and, I finally searched for what "Betwixt and Between" means :lol: . Good title choice :up:

Indeed, I did not once see Minorin which is an amazing feat of scene selection in and of itself. I would of never been able to use that song the way you did, you're light years ahead of me in creativity.

Sweet vid

I just finished this anime, and i really want to point this out and say, if i hadn't already saw the anime, i would say that i saw a story in there, and for that the amv was really well made, flow was great, song i don't hate, but not my daily average day song i listen to, but still good amv :) :up:

Oooh been waiting for this, loved the beta.

What I loved:

The editing. Flow and scene choice were spot on. Most people on #amv and around the forums know I consider Tora Dora one of the bright spots of the last few years in anime. Unlike 90% of the anime coming now, I loved Tora Dora. Knowing the series and loving it as I do, I would not change your scene choices for the vast majority of scenes you used. The ones that I disagreed with are so few as not impact enjoyment at all. As a fan of this pairing from the get go (I never wanted them to end up with anyone else from the first five minutes on), this video pleases me.

What I didn't:

Poor deinterlacing. Sorry Code, jaggies were everywhere. Painfully everywhere. If there is anyway you can go back to your footage and preprocess it over, and use the bait and switch method to export a new version, I would love you forever.

Poor encoding. Also in addition, this video gave me the same amount of pixelation and banding no matter what player I tried it in. In some places, like the early cell phone scene, it just got plain ugly, especially on my main monitor (42" Panasonic).

Not a damn thing to say against the concept or execution of the editing. Pure win. Video quality, however, leaves much to be desired. Really. I desire a new copy with crisp, clean video. DO WANT, etc. This would be favorited and on my Often Rewatched List automatically that way.
