x2. I also had a really hard time compressing my Pro video, as it had a lot of noise filters and also a lot of avs filters put in.
I absolutely cannot imagine what it would be like to make such a long video that's actually edited well. Maybe you don't rewatch your video ten times every time you change a scene or add an effect like I do, but it must really have been hard to plan overall and get done. Or was it one of those videos that just clicks with you and everything worked out easily?
When I first heard that there was a 25-minute long video in the Pro contest, my first thoughts were that it was some newbie who thought that their badly-edited video would get more attention if it was longer (as I have seen several of those...) I was surprised to find that the video actually was very well done, and that the length actually had a purpose: to tell a story. In truth, the video really creeped me out a lot. The first time I watched it, I was feeling very uncomfortable at some parts. It helps that in general, I hate horror AMVs, and I also am not at all a fan of Marilyn Manson, and to top it all off, I am also a Christian and found the story to be very disturbing.
But man, I have to say that despite all the reasons why I
should hate this video, it's an excellent piece of work and I can't deny that. Congrats.
