1) Font needed to be consistent.
2) Visual quality not as perfect as could be.
3) Masking boo-boos here and there.

1) Pretty nice concept, interesting use of text.
2) Excellent font, wished they'd all been white filled and not all different.
3) Nice execution of effects here and there [especially getting rid of characters].

Again, FLCL vids aren't my thing, but I thought it was pretty nice. 4/5

Video felt as if it needed something, You tried to sync the lyrics but it just didn't come out right or as powerful, The shaking just were really distracting and felt really odd, The whole fading out thing was really just annoying and ruined the flow for me, I still have fun times with this song and love FLCL, So it was really hard for me to enjoy this video, But compliments on the masking :up: , Well done.

And whats with the resolution <.<

Sorry, I just didn't get into this all too much. I actually disagree with Code (which is pretty rare) I wasn't a fan of the font. If anything I thought it should have faded in/out more and been less.. Hmm blocky and straight? More flowing... If you can make any sense of that. I didn't really get the theme or story you were trying to tell because I clicked preview before reading your description about loss which makes a bit more sense now. I thought the zooming was a bit too much. I did like your masking and didn't see any issues, but again I watched on preview. With FLCL and a song like this I think you did have limited scene selections but this one just wasn't for me, sorry.

lol im such a flcl whore :| I know all the episodes by heart xD
Anyways, i agree about the flowing. It probably would have done better if i had done some kind of font like the beginning of "Twilight" by Koop.
The story is a tad vague...and i think ive refined that in some of my newer amvs...i hope xD
I agree with both you and Code, so thanks to both of ya :3

Wasn't to bad. I agree with Code, the last mask kind of bugged me. Good job though.
3.5/5

Think I already told ya before.
I feel as if the editing didn't live up to your concept.
Alot of tweaks/fixing was still left to do.
You chose a good song for flcl. So it wasn't bad
3/5 :up:

There were some bits where the timing was off, so that threw off the flow for me. I loved the concept and your masking, though!
I especially liked the scene choice with, "Here comes the rain again." Very fitting, and pretty much perfect.

Not bad, not bad at all. =D
