D: are you my lost brother or something? I had a brother that used to edit years ago but no idea where's him :(

Why I was suddenly working in a video that has a similar concept and then you bring this? Is it destiny?

Anyway:

You got the correct mood. Idea here is clear, as the scene selection helps a lot. It was a little weird to see this combo of colouring-contrast, but it's watchable, so props man :up:

Drewvid :bzz2:
aw this was really there, for some certain reason, lately i got to love watching romantic stuff, so it was really for my liking^^
Anyways, the coloring is hell beautiful, though the contrast made the fades a bit sharp, and it took a shade of the view, also the static parts made me feel "waiting" which is not advantage, even if it's not an action amv:P
Overally it's a nicely done romantic amv, which i'm gonna watch a few times more i think :up:

I was referring to the concept, not the anime. I haven't watched it ;)

beautiful. :) I don't know the anime so I can't really tell but it looks like you made it pretty solid when it comes to color correction. :)

Didn't get into it until 1:07. From then onward was the best part, despite some harsh and choppy transitions here and there.

One thing I can't stand with BgI amvs though is that half the time you can't see any type of background and the faces are nothing but a white blur. Some of it has to do with the animation style, but your type of color correction added to the issue. I quite like the brownish colors themselves, just wish it wasn't so bright is all.

Another pet peeve of mine is when it fades to black. For two reasons:
1) The clips are so bright, and for such a brightly white clip to fade so quickly into the opposite color makes it look choppy.
2) When you color correct a video like you did, then fade to black, as it is fading, the whites turn to the color used in the correction--in your case, brown. (see :17. I'm watching using yt.) Some people probably like the effect, I don't know. I resent it. Looks shitty.

I also hate it when people overuse fades-to-white, so thank you for keeping it mostly to hardcuts.

Anyhoo, not the type of vid I'd ever watch again, only due to the fact that I don't like the song. But for a quick vid, it's decent. Nj Drew. (:

I liked this. Yeah, contrast could be a set a little lower.

Like I wrote you in QC, it was slow but in a pleasant, comfortable way.

Hate to sound like a broken record now, but yeah I have to agree with some other comments on how it is way too bright. However, I thought the color you were going for was pretty.

Scene selection was alright, but I couldn't really feel an emotional impact from the video. (mind you I haven't seen the show at all so I have no idea what's going on in it, so that may be why )

Editing flowed well, so I did like it in that aspect ^^ :up:

haha thanks for the comment, yeah if you seen the anime I think you could get the whole concept a little more. Such as "the other girl" I have my own secret concept I guess, but yeah thanks. :3
