Yeah, I lol'd.
Sort of reminds me of a watered down Chill Out.

The bad:

1) Quality of the clips -- There was really bad blocking and banding, probably because you used downloaded footage. Obvious because of the logo. You could tell when you zoomed in on clips too. At :49 and :56... looks like utter crap.

2) The blood added on the clips of Clannad looked like crap. None of it was believable because it all was so obviously added there. When Nagisa was shot, when Tomoya punched Sunohara, when Tomoya shot Fuuko.... I honestly laughed every time I saw the blood... it looked so cheap

3) The blood splatters with the text. I think it definitely needed to be there, but the quality of it just looked bad.

4) The photoshopping/masking of the guns. The guns didn't look real whatsoever, and they were all blocky. Every time a gun popped up, it wasn't until it was gone that I realized that it was actually a gun.

5) The little question mark at the end that was added when there was a gunshot. Wasn't intense really. And it was just... weird how that part went down.

6) The masking on Tomoya in the very beginning where you showed Nagisa behind his head several times. Too much feathering so it looked bad.

7) The reversal of the clip of Tomoya at :58. You could see the tear fly back up

8) The text. Grammar was fine, thank god, but the way I see it is that if you need subtitles or text in general to make your story come across... at least make it look good. And don't use all caps. I don't even know why you did that. The text muddles the intensity of your story to be honest :/

The good:

1) Good song. It fit.

2) Good scene selection that helped set the atmosphere and tell your story (before it was ruined by crap-editing.)

3) The story actually had potential to be entertaining.

Summary:

Terrible execution of your story. Bad quality, bad effects/masking/whatever it was. It would have been so much more enjoyable if you had executed it well, but that's too bad :/
1/5


EDIT: Also, I don't know who was beta testing your video, but they all need to go die in a hole.

1) Quality of the clips -- There was really bad blocking and banding, probably because you used downloaded footage. Obvious because of the logo. You could tell when you zoomed in on clips too. At :49 and :56... looks like utter crap.

oh wah. Its not perfect quality because im not a fucking perfectionist like everyone else who makes amvs.

2) The blood added on the clips of Clannad looked like crap. None of it was believable because it all was so obviously added there. When Nagisa was shot, when Tomoya punched Sunohara, when Tomoya shot Fuuko.... I honestly laughed every time I saw the blood... it looked so cheap

ok ill go make a real life video so it looks real enough for ya. (sarcasm)

3) The blood splatters with the text. I think it definitely needed to be there, but the quality of it just looked bad.

Again, i am not a perfectionist. You knew it was blood. i did my job.

4) The photoshopping/masking of the guns. The guns didn't look real whatsoever, and they were all blocky. Every time a gun popped up, it wasn't until it was gone that I realized that it was actually a gun.

I'm sorry that i cant make a cartoon look like its holding a real life gun. Next time ill try and make it so ****ing real u can see the sweat being rubbed all over the trigger. -_-

5) The little question mark at the end that was added when there was a gunshot. Wasn't intense really. And it was just... weird how that part went down.

it wasnt "added."It was there and it did what all the other text did. it turned red to illustrate a meaning and a point. god.

6) The masking on Tomoya in the very beginning where you showed Nagisa behind his head several times. Too much feathering so it looked bad.

i was going for a kind of dreamy feel. i got the point across. Again, job done.

7) The reversal of the clip of Tomoya at :58. You could see the tear fly back up

i cant believe u wud notice that, let alone anyone else. its kind of pointless to mention.

8) The text. Grammar was fine, thank god, but the way I see it is that if you need subtitles or text in general to make your story come across... at least make it look good. And don't use all caps. I don't even know why you did that. The text muddles the intensity of your story to be honest :/

I'm SO sorry. Next time ill try to write a book or just scrap all text and let u guess wtf was going on.

1) Good song. It fit.

one of the few nice things u said.

2) Good scene selection that helped set the atmosphere and tell your story (before it was ruined by crap-editing.)

yeah well i hate ur editing too.

Terrible execution of your story. Bad quality, bad effects/masking/whatever it was. It would have been so much more enjoyable if you had executed it well, but that's too bad :/

Your mom is constructive criticism. Go troll on a good amv like a good little editor.

-legitimate and mostly true complaints about a flawed video-

I'M NOT PERFECT THEREFORE I AM EXEMPT FROM CRITICISM SO GO AWAY.
JUST BECAUSE I POSTED AN ANNOUNCEMENT THREAD IN A WEBSITE THAT IS KNOWN FOR GIVING HARSHER CRITIQUES DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO GIVE ME WHAT I ASKED FOR

Your so nice.

you're*
