Kobato + One more: Digimon MEP!

My first time doing romance! Let's see if I succeeded or not. :D

A while ago, I heard this song in Kenzichu's Duet With Me AMV and I absolutely fell in love with it. I wanted to AMV it myself but lacked a good anime, so after a while, I just gave up.

It was then I decided to marathon Kobato. I was going to avoid it after what happened with Tsubasa and didn't want to be disappointed again, but all my other friends seem to really like it, so I said why not?

After I finished, I thought it was very cute... and then I remembered the song Two is Better Than One and instantly had ideas for it....so...here it is. Enjoy.

Special thanks to all my friends who helped me with this.

Edit:

New MEP uploaded!

Directed by my friend moezy-chan. Enjoy. XD



Realized about a week ago, that the Digimon Memorial was coming up, and wanted to make an amv for it, but I knew I wouldn't be finished in time, before the 3 day memorial was up. Asked my friend Kaze if she wanted to do a collab with me and she agreed. We needed a song, so she asked her friend Hagaren for one. Once he realized that we were doing it for Digimon, he insisted on joining us XD We originally intended to to split the children in half, Kaze gets 4, and I get 4, but once Hagaren decided on joining, we needed one more member, so we would each get 2 children, so Kaze asked her friend Ally if she'd join us as well. So, now for the legistics of the MEP XD

hmm the theme was cute, but I wasn't a big fan of the editing; Blurs and quick black fades really ruined the atmosphere, also seemed like you concentrated on syncing stuff more than the mood. Good effort though ^^

I think 0:00-0:23 was a little too fast paced with all the blurs and quick black fades there, I think a slower buildup would have set the mood better but afterwards it was great! :up:

But it was adorable anyway and I really enjoyed it! ^^ 5/5 from me! <3

Pretty much this. The fact that it was Kobato made it extra awesome too *o* <3

Yeah I have a hard time to know what to sync to. But thanks for checking it out. I'll try more on the mood next time. =3

Well, I knew I'd be cursed watching this, because Kenzichu made a video that I ADORE with the same song.

On its own merits, it's very enjoyable and makes me really wanna check out the anime because there's something so cute about this couple that really makes me want to go into a fanboy squee. O_o

1) I think the whole AMV is paced just a tad too fast the whole way through. I dunno. I think the song calls for more lyric sync than beat sync, and it seems like there was a lot of scenes crammed in. The rule "more is less" kind of applies. xD
2) That being said, I think the ending was paced pretty well, I just wish that the beat sync had been hit more often than not. :D
3) Black fades. >:O [Me no likey, but it's a personal vendetta]
4) More focus on hitting the "feel" of the song rather than the beat might have been a better thing to work with. Or lyric/literal sync. In the end, the flow of the AMV was just kind of wanky.

But still, like I said, on its own merits and me being far less picky, it was still enjoyable, and it's hitting my romance folder. :D

3.75/5

Thanks, Code. ^_^

Glad you enjoyed. I guess I was still beat sensitive from my other videos and not hitting the beats were making me wince when I was editing it. XD

Oh and everyone, I just uploaded an MEP, go watch it! =D
