Dysfunction Complex
True, the world probably doesn't need another Taylor Swift AMV, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: Dysfunction Complex
I liked it! Haven't thought about Lovely Complex in forever, so it was a fun callback for me. Also can there really be too many TayTay AMVs?
Strongest part was the drum roll sync at 3:56. Got a big smile out of me. I think the weakest part was the guitar solo bridge. Other than being "loud" visually I didn't get much out of that part, and I got a little motion sick from the screen shaking clips.

Re: Dysfunction Complex
It takes a lot to get me to b vibin to some T Swift but leave it to CrackTheSky to open my eyes.
This feels like those older AMVs I find scrolling thru the org while looking up artists I like, except streamlined to an end-to-ens consistent product. Not a single moment or sync feels forced or out of place, and the entire video goes by like a breeze. I think people may tend to underestimate this vid due its modest presentation and lack of effects, but to perfectly isolate and utilize all the sequences at play here in perfect symbiosis with the song is no small feat and must've taken substantial time and effort. It truly paid off, as this video is really emblemic of the magic and satisfaction of a well constructed AMV and why I was so attracted to the medium in the first place. To make stuff of this caliber AND be droppin 40 minute analysis videos all around the same time jus rly b showin that CrackTheSky is one of the realest around.

Re: Dysfunction Complex
I've never seen this anime nor heard this song until now, so it was an interesting AMV to watch. I think you did a good job syncing not only the beat of the song but also the lyrics. Good use of subtle and not so subtle internal sync as well.

Re: Dysfunction Complex
That part was one of the harder parts for me to edit, ngl...having to keep up the visual energy without any lyrics to guide me made scene selection there difficult. I appreciate the feedback, glad you enjoyed it!vivafruit wrote: ↑Wed May 27, 2020 11:36 amI liked it! Haven't thought about Lovely Complex in forever, so it was a fun callback for me.

lol you're too kind sir. Thank you for the great comments and I'm happy I could overcome your T-Swift trepidation!ProstrateConstantly wrote:It takes a lot to get me to b vibin to some T Swift but leave it to CrackTheSky to open my eyes.

Re: Dysfunction Complex
So much going on in this video!
If I had to guess, I'd say only about 1% of this video was still images where something isn't happening (not counting repeated frames present in most shots, animation "on the threes," etc.). That would be about 2 or 3 seconds in total spread out over the whole AMV. If this guess is incorrect, then it's surely too high.
The aesthetic of this anime wasn't really calling my name (though looking at all these over the top and excessively animated shots, my God it must have been fun to edit with) but there's so much energy in every sequence and it's just sync'ed with the song so effectively that there wasn't a second of this AMV that I didn't enjoy. I went into this expecting a throwaway edit and it's actually given me a super much-needed example of how to edit an actually entertaining AMV that makes people feel good.
