I downloaded this a couple days ago I think (I can't quite remember) and the remnants of the resulting head-splitting, god-awful headache are still lurking at the back of my brain.

I'll remember the sunglasses next time.

You relied entirely too much of hue changes, repeating footage, and other editing stuff that was external to the footage for my taste. One thing the recent flood of Azumanga vids has shown is that there's enough odd moves in the footage that you don't need all the external effects to sync it to a dance song. That plus there didn't seem to be anything new or interesting amoung the effects, it looked like a carbon copy of all the other DDR videos that have been out for years now. Perhaps if this was the first Azumanga dance vid I saw I'd like it but by this point that the horse has been beaten so often it's bones are just a pulverized mass and it's just a big pile of goo slowly rotting in the sun.

OTOH, I did watch the entire video before deleting it which is more than I do for 3/4ths the things I download. On that basis this is easily in the top 25% of videos.

Wow.. just wow. I got this a few days ago and began to wonder, "what will it take to get Scintilla to restart a DDR project?" then i wondered, "where i could find a 55 gallon drum of LSD?"

Finally an anouncement thread, I watched this one over and over for the past 5 days hehehe.
Awesome job, lots of cheesyness and eye candy and a song that gets stuck in my head.
Maybe there's a little inspiration from Around the Mad? I tend to watch these 2 after another :P

Confession: I've been hoping this song would get stuck in people's heads just as bad as it got stuck in mine. :twisted:

(For which you can thank (1) my LJ friends a year or two ago and (2) whoever compiled that DDRMAX2 song pack for Dance With Intensity.)

Haven't seen that one, actually.

Oh goodness no --
1) I've never headed up any kind of MEP before
2) I don't have any of the soundtracks (Brakus was nice enough to send me a lossless copy of the song)
3) I can't attend AWA until I can afford it
4) I've never actually <i>seen</i> any of the DDR Projects, just a few individual videos from thence :oops:

I'd have to agree there. I think it'd well-edited, but the effects seem a bit too much at times. But as she said, I'm a bit more forgiving since it's a non-sensical dance video.
Well, I hate to be the person who just says x3, but...x3... >_>
Hmm, so would you say too much tacky and not enough trippy, or so trippy it's tacky, or...?

(I could be cheap and say the excess was intentional, but no.)

I warned you! Didn't I warn you? :P

(The credits scene was actually one of the first I got down, if I remember correctly.)

Really? I <i>was</i> trying to take advantage of the moves like that (Osaka and Chiyo falling over, banging the pan, etc.); not enough? Or too much of the other stuff. Or I'm asking too many questions...

I'm glad someone said something like this. As I mentioned, I don't watch many dance/FX videos; dance is probably the most underrepresented genre among the AMVs on my hard drive. (And as I said above, I've never seen any of the DDR projects.) So I really didn't know where this would sit on the originality scale.

Anyway, thank you for the criticism; I'll try to remember this for next time.

And thanks to everyone for the comments so far. :)

x2

Sometimes it seems like you didn't how to synch and you tried with adding some weird effect (example : the wague colorized one); otherwise good job ;)
