Thank you for the comments and criticism.

Yeah, I know I could give them some more motion and zing with a little more effort, but on the other hand, my circa-2000 style title and credits are a badge of honor in my mind and I'm just stubborn in general, so I probably won't be changing them any time soon. You're absolutely right though.

I turned a 10 gig blu-ray rip into a 60 gig lossless avi for editing. I think my computer officially hates me now!
CodeZTM wrote:Editing wise, I think you edited this song in a very unique manner. It wasn't how I imagined it working out. It seemed a tad random at times scene-selection wise, but it's a fun/action video, so I can understand that aspect of it. I think some of the scenes ran a tad long, and then ending was really slow. I did love the opening though, it really set the scene for the amv and gave us a nice preview into the insanity that was about to ensue. The middle part was the most interesting part of it, because we really get into that "OMGWTF am I watching" vibe, which was great for this kind of video.
I tried to sprinkle some of the more funny/eccentric scenes from Redline around the video to keep it interesting and make sure it wasn't just one long racing sequence. At 4 minutes it needed that not to get stale I think. As for some of the longer scenes, I'm a big proponent of creating contrast in videos, so sometimes I'll let a scene linger for 4 beats/1 measure right before changing back to 2 scenes per measure or 4 scenes per measure, just to keep things interesting. The ending scenes were longer because the song becomes slower/less excited for the last 30 seconds, so that was just mood matching. That was my reasoning behind the things you noticed anyway.

Thanks!
That means a lot, especially since you listed action videos as your least favorite genre on your profile page. I'm glad some org members still dig my old school editing.
