That was surprisingly good! Very high video quality despite the resolution. I liked the soft edges / black and white effect and thought the pacing was generally good.

The aspect ratio was wrong and made the characters look thinner than necessary. It was of course easy to correct in Zoom Player, but not everyone can change AR on the fly. Your compulsive need to synch every drum beat to a cut, flash or zoom was annoying, but I guess that's trendy nowadays.

I think I'll keep this, not least because of the secksy image you had in the background of your credits.

hmmm..I don't see anything wrong with the video, it looks fine to me. well maybe its because I am used to it or something. The 3 of my other music videos have the same resolution and it doesn't make the characters look thinner than they are. Unless its just me, I don't know, but thanx. glad you liked it.
Yeah I had someone else tell me about my other music video saying that the effects I used were annoying but I wanted something to go with the beat at those parts you were talking about with the flash and zoom so thats why I had used the effects I used.

I enjoyed this video, but i hated the little piano style pics to the regular ones near the start and also the black flashes around the 2min mark

hmmm well its your opinion. I am not going to hate you for saying that you don't like those parts. I just used those effects because thats what I thought of to use and also I am just experimenting with different effects. I know that some people are not going to like them and I don't mind that. So don't worry I am not going to get all out of shape and get angry because I don't want to be one of those people....lol

TVs (which DVDs are designed for) and PC monitors have different pixel aspect ratios. In addition Noir is anamorphic which means it's squished horizontally on the disc. For example, this shape should be a circle, not an oval.

See Dealing with Aspect Ratios and the AMV Resize Calculator.

That was really good, I enjoyed it

I actually liked your use of effects and the way you were experimenting with them, they were on a good balance between variation and constance. Combined with some excellent scene choice and use of motion & animation it creates a really good flow to the music (and I really like this band

). It still has alot of meaning which is not overblended with effects in any way.

Great work, keep it up
