Finally Announcing... Angels Redemption 2: The circle of sin

Loved it! It had the feel of a short film, and though it does spoil the main storyline of Haibane Renmei, it is, to quote krzT, worth it.

The video captures the dramatic element of HR really well. It definitely shows how your editing has matured since the first Angel's Redemption.

Very, very nice.

Funny you say that, because I haven't seen Haibane yet.

But in the end, watching AR2 was definitely worth spoiling the series. I especially liked the intro...really really great job.

This is probably the best instrumental I've ever seen. The effects were gorgeous, and you had some excellent mood changes. It was a very dramatic video... excellent work. I'll leave an opinion later.

hmm I probably should have mentioned in the first post that It spoiled the ending....

I did in the vid description though ^^

however, it realy only spoiled Reki's story, and a little on Rakka. Ok maybe thats most of it... well Its still worth it to watch the series to better understand all the symbolisms too ^^

You opened my eyes to the many wonderfull possibilites of the blurr effect ;p

Thanks everyone, I was sceptical on how successful this concept would be... (the whole mini movie thing) but you guys seem to be liking it

I share that sentiment. Now that I've seen it.... WOW! There are very few videos I use the word "beautiful" to describe, but this one fits it perfectly. I'll post an opinion soon.

Just saw the finished version. Sweet.
Watching this video transform as you worked on it, I can see how much work went into it, not just little cuts here and there, but entire changes in style and content. I can't see any corners cut, and your hard work is all on the screen.

This video really raises the bar. I can't say that I've seen another video use the same technique as far as storytelling and sound editing. This is more of a short movie than just a music video.

I really like the way that you managed to tighten down the story and make it self contained. Anybody can watch this and 'get' the story here. As usual you use your own unique editing style that is so hard to pin down, and yet so riveting. You should find a way to bottle that up and sell it. Honestly, I'd have to say that the best part of this video was your use of the music as the prime mover of emotions here. The music mix was superb in every respect and managed to make what is actually a fairly long video feel very short, all the way through your credits.

I'm going to have a real hard time writing an op for it, since I can't really think of very many ways that you could have improved this video that you didn't already take.

This is one of the few videos over 5 minutes which never once made me think 'Oh god, how much longer is this'. That in and of itself is a great achievement considering I regularly delete videos after watching 30 seconds of them and getting bored. Very nice, definately a keeper.

I love your video man. I especially love the different atmospheres of your vid. I really think it's your best vid and certainly one of the best instrumental videos
5/5
