Sometimes it takes a few days for people to take time and comment. Or you could be really unlucky and have 0 comments. People have the right to choose not to comment, it's just the way it works.dragoonrocks wrote:Uh...Somebody? Anybody?
But uh...yeah...about this AMV....I don't really know how I should give you critique since you don't want us to go hard on you but you'd like advice...so I'll leave a few pointers you might want to keep in mind for next time you make an AMV.
1. OP/END scenes with the credits still intact. = no.
If you can't find a creditless copy, then you're really better off not using openings/endings at all.2. AR was all over the place. I'm pretty sure Fairy Tail is 16:9 so why was it 4:3 at the start and then it switches to 16:9 later? Keep it the same. And the correct one while you're at it.
3. Random text or effects don't always look nice. You want to use this to help emphasize something in your AMV so don't just add them in random places for no reason. I actually think the text ones aren't too bad...they can definitely be better but the idea you have isn't bad.
4. For songs like this, sync and pacing are pretty important. I couldn't really see much sync....and your pacing wasn't terrible but sometimes you had a really long scene and the only thing you did to it was add an effect in the middle. Not only does it look ugly, it's pretty pointless too.
5. Put more effort into your scene selection, this part is one of the most important things in editing. You want to keep your viewers entertained and interested in watching your AMV so coherence is a must. Your scenes were all over the place and had no relation to each other whatsoever. That made the video fall apart since you had nothing to hold it together. Try having a concept/idea and follow it through next time.
Uh...I hope that wasn't too harsh and I hope it helps you?
