Banding is usually (from my experience) caused by picking wrong FPS or slowing down footage and not disabling resampling. Adding filters isn't really going to do it justice.

Just my inner self showing on the outside as well~

Group G videos are all up.

While attempting to flatter the coordinator doesn't get you any extra votes, it sure does create some lulz.

ella ella ella, eh? Eh? EH?!

Who... who did this... I suspect one of the male editors of my Group, right? As a policeman, it is my duty to find that brat. Oh when i get him... what vile intentions, jeez!

Finally some time to review videos! :3

Group G

AnimAe (Shine Together): Adequete video. Did a lot of things right, but I felt like the scenery used didn't match the music's pacing well.

In the Valley of the shadow of Death: The opening fell flat as a joke to me personally. Editing past that was pretty nice, but I don't think the multi-source thing worked that well. Hard to find a coherent concept in there. Oh, and the news/subtitles just weren't my thing. But it WAS unique, which is something that I did like.

JdLord1: I think the editing needed some work with the cuts. I liked the timer thing (well executed), but the music/video just didn't meld well together. Felt like one really long scene edited to the music.

Mally: I liked this one. The zooms were a tad much at times, but I understand the theme/concept of the video and the editing supported it. The chourus fell a little flat though.

Nelhtarion: Pretty nice. The atmopshere/mood in this one felt like it belonged with the music, but the concept was lost to me. I also don't understand the sources chosen. It seemed like a random assortment of anime.

Sage: Good setup and solid editing. The action was a tad random at times, but I understand what the video was going for and it came across well.

siny: We HAVE A WINNER. Solid work from start to finish. Great use with the audio manipulation, creation of a band for the anime and the inspiration that flowed between them all. Didn't care for the multi screen effect though. Just a minor complaint though.


Top 4:
Siny
Sage
AnimAe
In the Valley of the shadow of Death

Downloading right now, 102 of the 466mb are of my video (found the solution thanks to the .org's technical support)

Just a thing, I forgot to put my name in the video's title... though I would love to have an 8-words username :P The "Valley" video is mine, so, thank you Code for putting me on the top 4, I was just going for lyrical sync and inside jokes :D

now, to watch the other 7 entries...

Group G-1

My condolences to group G. Reviews here are pretty sparse, but there's not much I can say. The song was annoying, and the videos couldn't really help it.


[AnimAe] Shine Together

Well done. Theme was well built against the song.


[Animated] In the Valley of the Shadow of Death

In-jokes were amusing, and helped distract from the song itself, but unfortunately don't really help make the video.


[jd_lord1] 2Q12

Pretty well done. Nice match for the song. However the editing felt off-target; just enough to be noticeable, but not enough that I can really explain what felt wrong.


[Mally] Umbreblaah

Felt way too random. Tons of quick cuts that didn't feel right, like it was forcing beat sync for no reason other than beat sync; felt largely unlinked from the video itself. Thematic matching was weak.


[Nelhtarion] illusion

Completely random? Felt like there was no connection between the song and the video.


[SagexAMV] Umbrella Phone

Interesting take. The basic idea felt like it could have really worked, but the execution felt limited and too simplistic.


[siny] Starish Umbrella

Poor lip sync. Interesting use of audio effects for the headphones, though it felt like there was something missing; like it didn't properly build the foundation for separating what was outside the 'video' from what was inside the 'video'.

Overall, decent.




Top picks:
[AnimAe] Shine Together
[siny] Starish Umbrella
[SagexAMV] Umbrella Phone
[jd_lord1] 2Q12


Notes: Was very sick of this song by the end, and I get the feeling the editors weren't too happy with it either (or maybe it's just me projecting). Doesn't seem like an easy song to edit to, and even the better videos were kinda 'meh'.
