The Consequences of War

Well... I can't really just say I spent hours working on timing and flow after you said I was matching random beats. You are entitled your opinion, and the sync I aimed for simply wasn't the kind that you look for or like. Frankly, I think that it's not very random at all... though I do switch between syncing with drums and vocal inflections. Not much else to say.

I actually found this much more enjoyable then Imagine, nice work. Frankly, I was quite happy with the sync, it was simple enough so that the meaning of each clip wasn't lost and complex enough to hold my attention throughout the vid.

I'll have to compare the final version with the beta's you sent me. I can't wait! ^^

I think you'll like it, the last minute or so is much better than the rest. ^_^ I wanted it to end strong.

Thanks, that means a lot. ^_^ I wanted to make this video sort of to contrast his, while his was slow and emotional, I wanted to make mine fast and powerful.

That's why I liked this video - I noted that in the beginning beta that I saw. The editing *does* look random if you're expecting the typical notes to be emphasized each time they fall. But the pace is set and held - it's only the emphasized notes that vary. It means you can't predict the scenes, it doesn't fall in a typical pattern that would get old on reviewing. You had this exact same type 'random' sync with your 'Romance Entails' vid. But there is a pattern to it, and the variation works for this sort of 'story' - particularly since you have the freedom to pause a few seconds longer on certain scenes - which would have been limited if you kept to the expected rhythm. I call it your editing style, it makes your amvs unique.

As for the effects - I'm still not sure about some of the vertical clips toward the middle of the vid, but I really liked the 'commentary' section. Maybe it's because now I see it set into the rest of the story, but I didn't have any problems with it at all. ^_^

My only complaint about this vid is that it gets very cool for the climactic end (the intense action/angst scenes) and then just fades out. I wanted to see more.

This is now my favorite vid for this anime - namely for the song and the fact that it isn't as slow and angsty. I prefer the hard angst over the soft 'gonna make me feel bad all day' type. >.>

That's a very good way of putting it, thanks. ^_^

Yeah... I probably should have taken those out. ;p

Damn, I was afraid that would happen.

See... the song actually goes on for a minute longer, and I know I could have kept up the editing like that. But the problem was finding appropriate relevent footage. So... this video, I guess, isn't quite done. I'm probably not going to release the full thing, though I do plan on making it longer if I can find good enough footage.

Lol, thanks a lot. ^_^
