I didn't think that it would have made sense without showing him earlier in the video as well, and the only way to do that without him coming off as another suiter for her, was to show a bit more of the whole group setting.
Agreed. The first beta you showed me showed from the shooting scene to the end, and because it started like that I had NO idea what was going on. It wasn't until you showed me a later beta that gave more of the leadup that it actually made more sense for me. I think not including those bits earlier would've very much been a case of "wait. what. who the hell is that and why did he just shoot her? what's going on? why is she all glowy? huh?"

I understand that cutting the song takes away a bit for those who love the original, and that was my main problem at first, I love the whole song to death, but I felt with the pace of the song it would have been too long do to what I wanted to do and would have been too drawn out. I stand by the audio edit, I think it works better for the video then the original would have (and after listening to it so many times while editing, I got the original out of my head a bit and I think the edit actually sounds great hehe) and in my experience from other peoples comments, if you didn't know the full original, you don't pick up that it was even edited.

Gotta say, this was my favorite video out of ALL of the videos I watched in the Pro judging. :D

I though the story was told in an interesting/compelling way, the editing flowed well with the tempo/flow of the music, and the scene selections were well executed. I felt it was a TAD slow here and there, but all in all, it was an enjoyable experience, and made my day to see this anime get some proper justice it deserved.

I haven't personally watched the anime but I think I can speak for Liz and say that, yeah, game > anime.

Excellent job of making me really feel for characters that I have never even seen before :up: (I have yet to play/watch the series but I've heard good things)
