Ninja's Serenade

I know there are lots of Ninja Scroll videos out there, but a friend in my gaming clan asked me to make him a Ninja Scroll AMV. So I made one for him and let him pick the music which happens to be Killswitch Engage. Sorry for the size of the vid (98.5MB) but any comments would be appreciated.

I happen to love both Ninja Scroll and that song, so I shall take a gander.

Well, it wasn't horrid, but there was MUCH more you could've done...

First off, did you shorten the song yourself, or just get a weird version? On the CD I have its about 4 and a half minutes long. Whatever... Anyways, I was definately expecting some more emotional content with the chorus. I mean, think about Kagero and Jubei, then listen to the lyrics and use that relationship to deepen the mood. The thrashy inbetween stuff was fine in terms of scene selection though, all nice n actiony. However, the continued use of simple straight-cuts between scenes lead to a sort of repetative feeling during some of the fight sequences. Maybe some transitions or effects would've made the vid jump out a little more, and allowed it to seperate itself from the average NS vid. Also, every now and then you'd throw in a clip that didn't really flow right and had no logical or chronological purpose for being there (like the explosion chick randomly smiling). This is what I like to call simple "space filler", it just looks like its there to take up time and nothing else.

All in all though, it's really not bad, it just could have been much MUCH better.

thanks for the suggestions, I didn't spend a lot of time on it, but I'm doing a remake now.
