Emptiness - Bleach Ulquiorra amv

Here is YouTube link if you want to preview it: Emptiness

Well it is bleach I know. But still I wanted to make an amv focused on Ulquiorra plot from the anime. I tried to create melancholic sometimes sad mood more details in the amv description. Hope you guys like it.

cheers.

Well, tried it and liked it and so I DLed it and I have to say I was quite pleased - very nice execution and fitting song, fitting font... very nice. I liked the (heart)beat syn a lot, great work on that - so simple and yet so effective.

Flaws I noticed - lipflap in the start (first scene) and in the end (credits) - static places like that can be fixed by sooo simple mask :nono: And then the quality was pretty weird - you used softsubs, right? I think the encode of those was pretty bad and I would recommend downscaling to 576p or even 480p - but after all it was your choice.

5/5 after all?

Ok, so here I go with my comment ;)

Screw all the people taking about how many Bleach amv we've already got, who cares? I'm glad that you edited Bleach amv. If something has a good idea and concept it should work fine with all anime that you want to use.

The idea of this one is undefinable great :up: Ulquiorra and something special or even the mystery about his character deserve to have a good video. Well done the relationship between Ichigo, Inoue and Ulqiorra. As I am bleach viewer, I definitely understand the title - Emptiness.
I think that using some manga mixed with anime scenes could make even better atmosphere but still without it is all right :up:

Ofc there are few cons, some Nya mentioned. Imo some of the effects could be done better ;)

Summarizing, great to see you editing and releasing amv's! :up: :)

5/5

Yeah, don't worry about it being Bleach. Kind of like Sayco said, fck anyone who disses your amv purely because it's Bleach. That's completely biased and retarded. :|
Anyhow, I didn't download it, but watched it on the tube because I'm really lazy. :roll: I'll just say right now that I enjoyed it. However, there were a few things I didn't like.

I don't know what you would call it, but when the characters basically melted away and it would cross into another scene. Aggh, what's it caaaalled?!?! I don't remember, but sometimes it just didn't work for me, personally. It made it look sloppy sometimes. Example: @ 4 seconds, 13 seconds, etc. Not that big a deal, but it did bug me a bit.
Also, The red jumping was sometimes done when it didn't need to be -- like, at 51 seconds. I understand what you were trying to get at, but because it's not synced to anything, it's probably better if it were toned down. At least for me. Some would disagree.
Next, I didn't like how you blurred out that very last scene. I don't have a particular reason, but I guess it would have been better if you saw the scene well, so you could really take in what happened. Just my opinion.
Now Lastly, just be careful when you have text. Be sure to capitalize your I's. And I didn't particularly like your text choice. It made it look really gaudy. However, it wasn't that big enough of a deal to say that it ruined the entire video, so don't worry about it too much. My advice would be to take a lot of time experimenting with your text. I know it's all about what the text says, not really what it looks like, but the font plays a big part for the viewer as well. At least for me.

The good parts though -- I did feel the "emotion" you were trying to get at. Particularly @ 53 seconds. The lyrics along with Ulquiorra's situation really made that part have a lot of impact. The editing itself was pretty simple, but I liked it. Ulquiorra is one of my favorite characters, and I'm also looking forward to making a character profile of him. The title was very fitting as well.
It's sad that everyone is too afraid to announce a Bleach/Naruto amv, but I'm glad you did. To be perfectly honest, on the org, the two aren't used enough. Well, scratch that. There are a lot of entries in the database with those anime, but not enough are announced. Not hardly. So yeah, thanks for having some balls and doing this.

To sum it up, I liked it. 4/5

Did you watch 480p version? 360p's version has audio cut down and it cuts off some beats - it was synced, I can guarantee it :>

Been reading the manga and havent watched the anime in months but this is the best damn Bleach amv I've seen in months action and concept wise :up:
Dropped my piece on your YT version too.
"Someday humankind will come to understand one another! I sincerely believe that!" Fei Fong Wong
"We live to make the impossible possible! That is our Focus!" Claire 'Lightning' Farron
"Believe in yourself, and create your own destiny. Don't fear failure." Toonami

Hehe you noticed those lipflaps:) sharp eye:) I should have masked them. I used raws, they are 1280x720 but probably they are upscaled I think.

Great that the plan worked. They goal was to simulate a heart beat effect with very simple effects.

Yeah I got wind in the sails, and I am using it to the fullest.

The font itself doesn't have normal capital letters. In this font the only difference between normal and capital letters are those shapes arround. Thanks for the tips. Glad you like it. And yeah the 360p quality on YT really messes up the audio.

Thank you :) glad you like it.

And I didn't know really that lately there are so little bleach/naruto amvs announced here. But if the situation is like you said, then it is understandable. Ahh the terror of the org forum:D spooky :bzz:
Thank you guys for the warm words.

cheers

Protip: Use bigger size on capital letter in a case of font like that ;x
