Announcing Breaking The Sin

Here's the video.

My first AMV, and it's also my first time using Premiere. Hoping to create a lot more in the future, and I'll be improving along the way.

Comments are welcome

Eh, looks like you're just getting started so I'll be as constructive as I can. You seem to have grasped the basic idea of motion synching, as pretty much all the really major musical changes are synched with either a cut or a nice bit of animation. However, what you've got feels like a shell or basic outline of a video. Try to be a little more ambitious and really synch with more of the smaller melodies. Linkin Park will give you lots of fun stuff to work with (though lots of people will critique you for using them, on account of the fact that there are over 10,000 LP vids on this site), try to take advantage of all that fun stuff to really add depth to your editting style.

Also, it may have been a better idea to time Tidus opening his eye with the initial kick in of the music towards the beginning. All in all, it's a pretty typical vid for a beginner. Keep at it and you'll definitely improve. At this point I'd recommend downloading some vids and really observing the editting techniques in the ones you like. Inspiration based on other people's work is usually the best way to improve.

I took a look, and left you an op. I like the "breaking" concept of this video, and that's a good start. However, I tried to give you some good ideas to help with editing, since that needs quite a bit of improvement. ^_^

I personally think that it works better this way. If you listen to the music, there is a 'swoosh' sound as the camera zooms out from the centre of the 'water' ball.

Aside from the black borders, I'm very impressed with the video. It's a lot better than others I've seen on the same game.
