Good Well ...it's different from any other Eva video I've watched.
Kinda took me by surprise. At the beginning, I figured it'd just be serious, but it turned out to be funny. You get that later on.
The ending = the awesome. WHAT WAS U THINKING BOY
KILL! ..KILL!
East Coast residents recovering from Isabel are cleaning up again after another round of storms and at least one tornado brought down more trees, flooded already saturated areas and forced some people to empty refrigerators they’d just refilled.
SEVERE STORMS BATTERED the Richmond area with winds up to 100 mph early Tuesday morning, and the National Weather Service said an unknown number of tornadoes touched down six times in the area. At one of the sites, about 40 miles west of the city, a mobile home was shredded after being tossed about 25 feet.
“Isabel was gravy compared to this guy,” Richmond resident James Whitaker said. “We went down and got in the closet downstairs and stayed in it.”
No serious injuries were reported from the twister, part of a weather system that also caused damage in Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Isabel has been blamed for at least 38 deaths, 23 of them in Virginia.
The latest storms also pounded the Washington, D.C., area, dropping 6½ inches in Leesburg, about 40 miles west of the capital. The unexpected deluge snarled traffic around the capital, flooded homes and rendered many residents and businesses powerless.

At least 40,000 more customers lost power in Virginia, some for the second time since Isabel struck last week. As of Tuesday evening, more than 500,000 customers in Virginia and North Carolina still were without electricity.
“I just restocked my refrigerator last night. This is just so unreal,” said Renee Knight, whose Richmond neighborhood lost power during Isabel for about 20 hours.
Virginia’s main utility, Dominion Virginia Power, said Tuesday that 415 miles of electrical grid will have to be rebuilt where they were destroyed in some of the areas hardest hit by the hurricane. About 1.8 million Dominion customers in Virginia and North Carolina lost power during Isabel.
No new damage was reported in North Carolina from the most recent storms.
Weary of living without electricity for five days, Joy Melvin had taken her 20-month-old daughter and moved in with a friend, Keisha Gilchrist, in a section of Richmond that was little affected by the hurricane.
On Tuesday, a tree slammed onto the roof above the bedroom where they slept.
“We ran from upstairs,” Melvin said. “Thank God for her (Gilchrist) yelling.”
The storms dumped about 4 inches of rain in parts of Maryland, flooding roads again and slowing the pace of electric crews.
Farther north, Tuesday’s storm blacked out about 20,000 customers in southern New Jersey and about 34,000 in Pennsylvania. Tornadoes were spotted in two New Jersey counties, and the downpours led to two mudslides on the eastbound Pennsylvania turnpike.

General FUCK A DUCK
I know there's a few other bunch of videos using Samurai Jack as the footage, and to be honest, I haven't seen any of them. This is my fiirst. But I base originality on what you were trying to convey and how well it got through. I have to say, that it pretty much got through.
I mean, the song 'Science' to the footage you used. I'm pretty much familiar with Samurai Jack, but I haven't watched all the episodes or know what's going on totally, so I don't know if you got that out of one episode or not. Either way, these two totally fit together like white people and square dancing.
Action/Editing Sync: Whoa. I guess I should just go through the whole video right down to the end.
Right at the beginning with the bugs coming down the wall, and waiting for the music to begin, that kind of caught my eye, or well in 'interest for the video' wise.
I'm also not sure if that video effect, (split screen from 24 seconds to 26 seconds) was part of the episode. **This is, btw, why I didn't give you a score on Digital Effects, I'm not familiar enough with each episode or this one to know when they were used or not w/out it being told in video description.** Either way, that fit good too.
I also noticed that each like, 'raw hirt' with the guitar, you had a little explosion going on. All the small stuff pays off.
The lyrics start with Jack running on the tread, thumbs up. Second part of the first verse when those ppl in those suits are dancing and whatnot. I don't know, I liked that part as well. EVERYTHING FITS AND IT JUST IS BEAUTIFUL.
"I

Science" on that cup. How fucken original. You either got a luck of the draw when editing this footage or this was planned out when you noticed how well the song fit with this footage. It's awesome.
Oh and the best parts are to come. Starting at 1:31, he nearly swings his blade with the beat of the lyrics and tempo. Then the guitar follows up, Jack turns around and goes for more, yet again following the beat of the music and the lyrics.
1:42, the speakers. AH. The footage, the footage. That's what it's all about in this video. You did such a good job with picking the right footage.
1:50, rofl. Nice touch.
1:54, now this is the part that gets me. Aku lip synching to THIS. Not only is it brilliant and funny, it even looks great and real beyond belief. So you got a 3way split screen going on, and in the middle, Aku turns around (that in itself is just hilarious to me, everyone I've showed loves this part) and 'spews' more lyrics. And then Jack finishes off that part of the song at 2:16. Ohhh, good job.
And then from there, you finish it off. That's what I liked about the video. EVERYTHING just fit nice. Maybe I'm making a big deal, I don't know. But I really did enjoy this video.
OK! So to lip sync: I had to give you a ten. Aku, that explains it all. Nothing else needs to be said.
Effort: I don't base this all on how much time I think you put into this. Everyone knows that each creater goes at his or her own pace. But this video shows that there was some thought put into this. That's all that really needs to be said.
Overall: I don't see Samurai Jack as a boring cartoon. But this video almost brings more 'life' to the cartoon itself. It makes it more interesting...I don't know. Anyway, with some kind of impact like that, your Overall score had to get a nine.
Re-viewability: Of course I gave it a nine. Everytime I watch videos this one is also in line with the other ones. And I didn't download this recently, I downloaded it a couple months ago, so it's like not I've only been running this video with the other ones for like a week. This video still rocks to me.
Bad Capture Quality/ Sound Quality: I hardly ever base real judgement on these two things. If I can see it fine, If I can hear it fine then it works for me. The only reason I put it down here is because of the big 'no-no'. THE FOOTAGE WAS NOT BOUGHT, NOOO.
I don't even know if you can buy Samurai Jack yet or what. If you can't, it's probably not worth the ripping. I'm not usually too big on where you got your footage from, but the big Cartoon Network logo will set some people off.
General I've been meaning to give you an op for this video for a quite a long time now. I just NOW got to it. And I just thought you should know that.
When I first saw the video information for it, I thought it was going to be a crappy video. 15mb took 2 minutes out of my life to download. Of course when I watched it I was shocked.
It's kinda weird. A small, but yet full of action type video that really has got me watching it all the time along with my other videos. From reading your vid description, it looks like that wasn't even the case. But if this the type of video for you that gets you 'going again' then I can't wait to see your other videos.

Again, one of the wierdest I have ever had.
I also won't share who did that (unless they want to), but if you knew who, it would make more sense (and no, it wasn't NME).
