don´t get me wrong is pretty clear that the only common is a similar technique.

indeed, preview kinda looks shrunken :?

Sorry for not posting my full comment: When I first heared you were joining I thought you were going to make a comedy. But the fact that this romance amv was edited in a different resolution, considering that usually akross entries are 720x480 or 640x480, was very clever. And for the feeling, I never got bored or get the feeling that something was missing. Pretty enjoyable, and now, we only have to wait until the results are up

Checked this out cause C/F said it looked like you took editing seriously again which is pretty rare.

I had a difficult time enjoying this, same problem as nya's vid. I just don't see the point of using video panels like this and would rather watch a full screen with FX or something. Maybe it's cause thats just the way it usually is and I'm used to it but I doubt it. The source and song looked like it worked well but eh, I just can't get into these panel vids.

This is one of those times I hate having to give a rating cause I really do believe my own factors are driving me to rate it down but idk... 3/5
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

Godix, normally I'm one to ignore your vids or releases. As we all know your an ass, a loveable one tho :beer:

Now that I've said that, this is the first video I have ever seen you edit seriously since I have been a member of the org. I must say I am quite impressed XD

Now that I know this, I will keep an eye out for future releases. Only to put my eye back in to edit at times in which I feel I need to.

Very interesting concept. I enjoyed it. It was something I haven't seen done before, at least not in any videos I have seen. Kept me interested throughout. And thats saying a lot coming from me because I generally tend to stay away from Romance AMV's. I'm more of a fast paced person myself. Though I have been known to edit one on a rare occasion.

I applaud your efforts.

I would be very interested to know what exactly your timeline looked like after completion.

4/5

Cheers.

Funny how not too long ago was wondering whether or not you ever finished this video. I really enjoyed the beta you showed me on the IRC and I liked the finished product even more.

Good stuffs godix :up: :up:

It's one of my favorite series and this is probably one of the most beautiful videos of it. You really made justice to this anime.
The song is beautiful. The technique is really original and it's kinda perfect for the way you tell this story.
I'm just a bit sad that you didn't stick with the same technique till the end, but I still find this video perfect and awesome <3
Thank you. The ending style thing was meant to A) not be boring repeating the same trick the entire time and B) to give a more open and free feeling once they become a couple. When you say on youtube, I'm assuming you mean the AKROSS youtube channel?
Yes I kinda thought that was the reason :)
Yes, the AKROSS channel :P

Thank you for the comments. Glad you enjoyed it.

I can understand that. It can be rather confusing and a jumbled mess. Which is why I had so many beta testers, I kept worrying that I was going overboard and getting too complex. So yeah, I can understand people who don't like the panel thing

Thanks. I usually hate romance vids too actually. Just since I was experimenting, I figured I'd do a genre I'm not used to either.

As for the timeline, it actually looks pretty boring. Each pane was in it's own sequence (with settings of 320x480). The master sequence just had these nested in it. On top was a mask with the black bars between panels. Despite how complex the video looks, it's actually pretty simple. It was sometimes difficult to keep track of what I was doing in what pane though since the process feels kinda like editing 5 videos at once. Technically I could have done it all in one sequence. That would have required 10 or more tracks and, more annoying, would require motion controls on every clip to put it in the right spot. With the sequences I only had to do motion controls once per pane. If you don't know what I'm talking about (and if you have an early version of Premiere you probably don't since it couldn't do this), it looks like this:

You might find it amusing that at least one of the betas was named "what does godix know about romance he's getting divorced"

So... Who wants to take 5 widescreen monitors, turn them sideways and connect them to some SLI'd video cards so see how this would look in a 180 degree horseshoe configuration?
