Just a friendly tip that it might be a day or two before you get a comment. This is (sadly) a slow forum at times. I try my hardest to make sure everyone gets a comment on their announcement, but it usually takes me a while to get caught up and analyze what needs commenting and what doesn't. XD

I saw this on your facebook, so I was eager to watch it, because the poster is intriguing.

Anyway, here's my opinion.

______________

You hit the mood of the song clearly on the head and did a fantastic job with it. Good execution for the most part. There were only a few things that really bothered me.

Flip transitions at @2:09 @1:02 was really just tacky and I think you could have done without them to be completely honest.

The zooms could have used a little more work. They were unnatural looking at times. :45 into the eyes is kind of what I was talking about.

Your footage had some banding on it. Not a big deal, just something to watch out for in the future.

But on the whole, I liked it and I think it's your best work to date. Keep it up, and don't disappear on us for this long again. XD

That was interesting. Great atmosphere.
I have the same opinion as code for the flip transitions.
I see you used a lot of zoom transitions, some were well done, but some others not. And you used this too much times, it's really repetitive, and it makes your video more boring.
I think you could have made a better synch. And the chorus part feels a bit empty, it could have been better if you had increased the pace on these part, and if you had tried to get a more important impact on the way you did your synch.

I agree with what Code and Kain said, and especially this

but I just want to add that I think that you could have improved the story progression just a bit. Having the scene with Kyon bleeding in the beginning seemed really weird since you hadn't yet showed the scene of him being stabbed. This is a fairly small complaint though, I still think that your AMV was pretty good and had a really nice pace :up:
