This is my third video, I finished this one in a shorter time span but it took just about as much time. I went for something much more artistic. So if you don't really like that, don't bother yourself with watching this. Here it is...

Delicate Beauty

Enjoy. ^_^

Lovely. ^_^

I really liked the parts for 'mysterious' and 'independent'. And this is definitely my favorite video to use the 'piano key' effect. ^.~

Only...it makes me want to do something artistic.

Thanks guys. ^_^ About the text, that was the most annoying part. Getting it to show properly. I didn't want it to be colored, because it would ruin the mood of the video... and I didn't want it to be too dark because it wouldn't show over black parts, and I didn't want it to be too light because it wouldn't show over the white parts. >_<

Wow, that was fantastic. I really love the video- it flows beautifully and everything just fits together. It really is beautiful.

As are the sentiments behind it

yes, sometimes it is hard to express the beauty of DivX Video™

that was hard to watch, and trying to make it seem artistic by constantly flooding the viewer with millions of things to look at doesn't exactly make it 'fit together', let alone hard to delete.

and this whole 'piano key' effect is getting to be annoying as all hell. i mean, it'd be neat if you did something around the idea with cords of video to music. like instead of piano keys, the footage be placed on harp cords being plucked to the tune? you don't even have to do the footage, just bright white lines being snapped across the screen to harp effects or piano instances. or even go inside of the piano and show the idea of delicacy through the intricate movements of machinery and how they play a part in creating the wonderful sounds which would splay themselves all across the screen.

give people something they can really bite into. otherwise this is nothing more than flashing images, piano keys and some illegible text.

If all your seeing in that video is tired old used effects, you're missing the entire point of a video like that. Granted, it's getting to be highly unoriginal, and the video probebly could have been more well rounded without them, but seriously... watch the video for the sake of watching the video.

I have almost never seen an idea so clearly depicted in an AMV in such a crypic fashion. To be able to use such a fast paced changing of images to slow down the pace of the video? That my friend, that is talent.
