Black Rock Shooter: The Sunny Side

[OtakuGray]

Took me about a week to complete. I was kind of on and off working on it along with talking to people on msn.

Thanks to Code for the excellent test of my video. Without him i probably wouldn't have fixed a couple of things or might have even scrapped the video completely D:

I was mostly inspired by Nostromo and Koopiskeva's styles when i made this so thanks to them for being awesome.

Gotta say, I was really excited seeing the beta for this, and I like the way it turned out in the end.

*Flow/editing was actually pretty well done. The story comes across fairly nicely and as somebody that hasn't seen the anime, I was able to quickly pick it up and understand everything going on. I liked the combination between the "dark world" and the "light world" and the transitioning between them.

*Conceptually pretty nice. I haven't seen much like it, and I've seen like a million youtube videos with this thing in the last week, and this one seems to tell it fairly well. [/needs to watch this anime apparently, since every editor under the youtube sun is hitting it up]

*Video quality is as good as one could hope for.

*Flicker at :23 was still kind of off, but much improved upon. The flicker effect overall was still much improved upon, but I'm still on the fence about it.

*I feel that towards the end there were some wonky shaking and scenes a tad too long . I also think the colored in backgrounds instead of the white ones, while a ton better than what you originally had, could still have had actual anime footage there and had some better feel to it.

*I was kind of sad about its length. I'd have much more preferred a little more length and more character development, but as is, it's still fairly well done in a condensed manner.

*To be honest, I couldn't really see the koop or nostromo in this, and I think that's a good thing. It's important to develop your own unique style in editing, and while using another as a base and finding your own direction is fine, make sure and retain your individuality.

Generally, very enjoyable. I think you've found your niche' in editing. Glad to see improvements, and can't wait to see it develop further.

4.75/5.00

One of the better vids from the slew of Black Rock Shooter vids that's come out this week.

When the video first started, I thought to myself. "Why are people making AMVs with both sides of this? The two sides don't even seem like they are from the same show". But after a few seconds, I started to notice that your AMV actually makes more sense than the actual anime. You did a really good job at switching between the two sides of the show and portraying an understandable story. (oh and, when I say "the two sides of the show", I mean the normal high school parts and the supernatural fighting parts).

Also, the effects and especially the "star transitions" were absolutely perfect. You really edited this well. I give it a 4.5 / 5

p.s. Since I've actually seen the show, I feel that there really wasn't much more that you could have done with this AMV. You did a awesome job at using such a limited amount of source to produce a great AMV.

I seriously was like NOOO IM RUNNING OUT OF FOOTAGEEE when i was nearing the end LOL xD The actual song is about 4 minutes long and i wouldnt have had enough clips left to continue any further

lol at first i was hesitant about editing an anime that was so new/popular...but i decided to test myself.

I grabbed, I did enjoy it a bit, you're steadily improving.

I think the effect with the skinnier lines bugged me, and i think you could've slowed down your editing a little for the most part, but it wasn't bad.
