Video: Tell Yourself(Preview)
Category: Dance/Other
Anime: Original Animation
Song: Tell Yourself
Artist: Clazziquai
Creator: Propheaker

Aside from the fail lip-sync and glitches, i think that came out rather presentable. i'm skeptical putting it on the org since
i knew the site uphold high standards on its videos but oh well, might as well give it a try, any non sugarcoated comments are welcomed. <;|

Wow,that was pretty amazing! I especially loved the colours and motion graphics! :up:

Only thing I'd complain about is that some of the images look kinda blurry/pixelated when zoomed in and ya mentioned the lip sync...which I also wasn't too fond of but it wasn't too bad. ;)

Lies.We are nice people! |:>

But I suppose if you want non sugarcoated comments then I'm sure you're looking in the right place. :twisted:

I kid, though really, I'm being serious. The site's a place for people who share this hobby, it's not always about those who are the best at editing, neither is it true about good videos being commented on and not as good ones being ignored(because I'm aware people think like this). Also it's not really about having high standards, just some org users are actually pros who do this kinda thing for a living/job and they're more likely to point you in the direction, not that I'm saying all of us are pros, but most org users would be willing to give you true honest critique that you could use as feedback for improvement rather than just sugarcoated youtube comments like, "DA BEST THING EVA MADE" and such which really don't do much if you're looking to get better at this hobby.

Honestly, I would ask you how much time you spent frame by frame...? I'm curious as to if you did all the animation yourself cause its really good.

Anyway its a great m@d, I don't go looking for them anymore but like watching the ones that get posted on the org whenever someone makes/uploads one. One could complain about the slightly jerky movements of the characters but if you frame-by-framed it then it's not even fair to complain cause it's fairly good for hand work. Really enjoyed this for more than just the work, mood/animation style/motion/shapes etc were all pretty cool :beer: .

5/5

This is a common misconception, the site doesn't hold high standards, some of the people do. Don't label all of us on the org by the few. |:>

im curious as well, considering that ive seen propheaker steal quite a bit of footage from other amvs/m@ds for his mep parts and amvs in the past and passed it off as his own. tho i think hes done a few great things on his own (unless i havent seen the originals it came from)

as for this, its looking really good. fx were a little random at times, although thats a m@d for you :sweat: it was put together pretty nicely :up: only problem is that i felt it had alot of "build", but it never quite hit it home. it was nice from beginning to end. but it never had a moment, or a finale that really WOWED me. overall, 4/5 :ying:

Very good m@d, I like the concepts you used, and surely animating the characters is very interesting thing, however it would be better if you made the animation a little faster since sometimes i felt it isn't smooth enough. Another thing is the images quality, if you used higher quality it would be better.

Overall it's a very nice m@d and I enjoyed watching it a lot :awesome: And this site is for all AMV makers so you shouldn't hesitate to put your video here :>

Intriguing video. A minute there I figured someone is going to make their own visual novel based on these character designs.

I like it very much... the song is wonderfull! But...
There are a couple of things which annoy me very much, first of all masks and images where you scaled too much and they revealled pixels and grain :s
The Graphic, changes and camera movements are really well executed but not all the fonts are animated everytime in the best way and some graphics too... I really noticed it only seeing the video more times.
I can say, if you did more attention on these details it would be pretty much perfect... very good job in any case :)

OH SRLY this is the worst shit I have EVER seen, you suck ): <<--- hahahaha

reallly outstanding, M@Ds are really nice to watch, always, they definetely have their own spirit, but I really dont like zooms, I could never be a fan of pixels, but this was refreshing, fun, joyful and sweetie cute xD, I lover colors combination and the movement, it doesnt feel static at all, <3, added to the collection!
-EDIT-
just a little detail I notice you set a big F reading Fashion art, but it is easy to read Fashion Fart :rofl: :asd: :rofl:
SING! Never mind the words!!!
