Forum rules
Please observe the following unique rules for this forum:
  • Please limit your new threads (not replies) to one per week. If you have several new videos to announce, create one thread for all the videos. (Note: if you forget one you can edit your post!)
  • Offsite links are allowed, but you are required to have a catalog entry for that video as well. Threads announcing videos that do not contain a catalog entry will be moved to the Awaiting Catalog Entry sub-forum and will be deleted in 2 weeks if an entry is not created.
  • When posting announcements, it is recommended that you include links to the catalog entries (using the video ID) in your post.
  • Videos that do not contain anime are allowed to be announced in the Other Videos section and are not required to have catalog entries.

Hey, our site requires you to catalog your video first. So please do that as soon otherwise after 2 weeks it will be removed. If you don't know how, here is the FAQ post about it viewtopic.php?p=1546652#p1546652

Until then, I'm going to move your thread to the “Awaiting Catalog Entry” forum. And I can move it back once I see that you've done it
Still better than that MMO.

It's a nice collection of scenes, seems like you accomplished what you were looking to do with the effects.

There's no time at all here to establish a theme, a sense of how the visuals relate the the song (and vice versa) or to provoke an emotional response in the viewer. Feels like the beginning of a work in progress, I don't know.

I don't edit with After Effects so I have no idea what went into creating this video. Feels less like an AMV and more like the briefest teaser trailer in existence. Have you thought about what a video might look like that uses the entire song?

Other viewers may love this and the short run time might actually be central to their enjoyment of it rather than something that leaves them feeling like it's incomplete. But that's my personal reaction to it.

Have you worked with Adobe Premiere or any other non-linear editing program that would let you easily splice together audio and video to make, well, something more of a traditional video? Maybe you're not interested in making something like that, but I know the two programs can be used together to work on a single project, depending on your needs, so it gives you options and probably smooths out the actual process of composition into something easier and faster to work with. Just something to think about!
