Last Exile Video - Soar (TIDAL KEYZ :O)

[dwchang]

I had watched it earlier today. The video flowed nicely. The evolved form of the "keys" weren't really needed for the video but it was all in fun and it didn't stick out like a sore thumb so it's all good. It was a good file size for a short video. However, short videos that have the potential of leaving people hanging wanting more is becoming my type style. I shall watch you closely. BWAH!

Thanks!

How's UIUC?

First impression: it didn't kick hard enough. On the other hand, high energy edits would have taken longer and the whole project might not have been as much fun. As it is, it looks great.

As you said, it was made to be a short fun project and not meant to be too precise. At the same time, to be honest, I'm not the type of editor to hit every beat and do a very fast synced video. I more prefer to sync to the words and go with the flow of the song. I've tried doing more precise action sync and it just seems weird to me : /.

As someone else said, it really does look like an intro. Not a bad thing!

Very enjoyable. The rapid people cut sequence toward the end was particularly cool. Keep it up!

very intro like... feel like I should be expecting an (japanime- since I can't understand the jpop) episode after that. Great job at finding the scenes that start and end RIGHT on the beat as I know not all of those scenes are in the exact order, just wanted to bring up that I noticed an inkling more than the average effort put into this! BEAUTIFULL footage too!

Nice more folks saying it feels like an intro. Yay! Thanks!

I really appreciated how a so simple work is so precious and beautiful. Cy congrats.

Thanks!

Heh, forget the keys - the editing was just too solid all by itself!

Excellent, concise, and has great feel without any need to complicate things with complex effects (save teh keys).

It actually felt a lot like an opening, and not just in terms of length. The editing style/visual flow reminded me of an anime opening sequence, and a well-edited one at that.

So, another awesome one. On a purely editing level, this is the best I've seen from you so far

I really must stop replying to my own thread, but your opinion makes it so worth it .

Wow, best thing I've done? I mean that's cool and all, but a bit surprising since it's the quickest video I've done ~15 hours (minus Iron Chef at Anime Central) with not much in the way of inspiration.

Regardless, thanks a lot and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I never take time spent into account... I mean, it's nice that you wasted your time doing that but, a genious thought only takes a moment... and maybe you've done it or something like it before! It just doesn't make sense to consider time spent (I mean, above the normal 8 hours) and notoriety (though it's good to go a little easier on the noobs than those that declare themselves masters or REVIEW THEIR OWN VIDEOS!!).
Contrary to popular beleif, Time =/= Effort, Sacrifice = Effort. To some ppl (like me, that has no life ;p) Time =/= Sacrifice though I can see where that beleif stems from (buisness). But anyway.

I like to reply to my threads until I've sufficiently SLAUGHTERED them
