"Za Warudo" Do You Fear Aura?

This was a labor of love for me. I really do hope you guys enjoy the video. This is actually my first .Hack video since my "Encore" video that has done so well recently.

Anyway, even though the lip sync is very little in this AMV, I tried to keep it at parts where it had the most impact. So, I'm hoping you guys like it.

Also, the digital effects are integrated well so they don't really stand out.

Anyway, thanks again an dI hope you enjoy.

The song has a slight pitch adjustment that I gave it to give it that original feel. THe pitch adjustment gave it just the right amount of speed and flow to the song that made it real fun to edit to. I hope you enojoy :)

I would also prefer that you download and watch it rather than use the preview player on the org. Mucks up the timing and quality somewhat.

LEMME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK XD I would love to hear some criticism or just your thoughts on how you enjoyed/hated it. :)

The pacing of the song was interesting, and you matched nicely with the change of flow in the music. Interesting/new footage to be seen worked with, and I still enjoyed it for the majority of it. Stuff at like 1:41 was just beautifully transitioned and matched the vocal pace nicely.

I still maintain the opinion that some of the faster repeat cuts didn't do it for me. Also, I was a tad confused with the ending (but I feel like most of the AMV's story is moderately confusing to anyone that doesn't have SOME background with .hack).

Overall, I can say it's worth a watch though. It's one of those weird AMVs that I'm having a hard time classifying, so I'll move it to "dramatic fun action" and use that as a descriptive means.

Thanks for the input Code. Glad you enjoyed it :)

I'm on the same tracks with Code here. It was quite enjoyable but I think it felt a bit too dynamic sometimes. You kept mixing emotional/dramatic clips with actions clips quite randomly, or at least it seemed so for me. Could have used more contrast between different sections of the song perhaps?

Nonetheless I thought it was pretty nice :up:

Ugh. . . The whole "Don't be Shy" Thing got me. xD

I think it was pretty awesome because of the powerful feeling behind it but there doesn't seem to be a consistent flow, due to the dynamics of the video. Also, it looks like the beginning was rotoscoped but I think it'd be cooler if the black outline of the characters was less present. :P

Yeah. The .Hack series as a whole can be pretty hard to edit to sometimes. Seeing as how the whole series is more or less a bunch of talking with very little action in-between. I'm glad you liked it and thanks for your input.

Come on guys. Give me more of your thoughts XD

I enjoy the crit. What do you guys think?

Had to bump this to ask a question.

I'm confused as to what category this video of mine would fall under.

If I had to choose just one category, what would you guys say it falls under?

I ask becasue I'm trying to put it to a category in my Con Submission but am unsure.
