[EBullientDesigns] - Selfish Desire

Quick vent edit I did in one day. People like this, so I guess I post it up here. Wish I had an awesome banner though.

Very emotional, with a good impact. Pretty nice for just a one day vent edit. I liked the coloring, gave it a nice conformity with the whole piece.

I do think there were some bit beats that got missed though, and a few scenes ran long. Some quality issues too (I think it's banding, but I'm no expert on visuals).

But still, I dug it for what it was. You've got a nice grasp on the romance realm. I'd reccomend for a nice and quick romance amv. :3

Yeah I notice some pixels at times, I think it was something to do with an effect..I'm not to sure what it was..but it didn't bug me as much. About the scenes running long haha I know, I didn't really pay mind to some to much.
Thanks for the comment though Code. I've been told that sooo many times lol. But I agree, I think my best edits are romance/sentential. I plan to do more now so yeah. :3

The colouring is absolutely gorgeous in this Drew. :up: And like Code mentioned, it was very emotional and left a great impact on the viewer. Nice job with it. :up: And +1 for using Darren Hayes. <3

And I think the visual thing was banding, it's not really noticeable but sometimes it's just kinda...there. Didn't detract much from the AMV itself though so don't worry too much about it.

Bokura Ga Ita - Instant get.

Paused video: For the future Drew, the best tip I'll give you regarding color-correction, lower the contrast - a lot.

Plays.

One of the better videos I've seen using the anime. Scene selection went fairly well with the song and caught the emotion well.
The brown color-tone was a nice touch, although to me the contrast and darkness was way too heavy (heavy enough to create banding issues and make the characters color and details disapear from their eyes).

I didn't like a few of the transitions between blended cuts (the ones crossfading into each other while in overlay-mode), but all in all the editing was solid.
Liked the ending with the exception for the little weird jump it made (2:51).

Nice work Drew, so far the best I've seen from your side.
Would had liked it more if I could had seen more details in the art more clearly, that is if the contrast wasn't highered to such an extent - just my personal thought though.
Solid :up:

Thanks a lot for your comment man, sorry didn't know you was going to reply again. Hmm..thanks for the advice on the contrast. I was wondering what was making the quality seem so fishy at some points. So tone down the contrast I guess. Will double check on that in the future. Yeah at 2:31 is the weird glitch. I noticed that after I finished encoding, and I'm like meh..don't feel like fixing it.

Really appropriate your comment a lot man, thanks. ^^
