I loved this video. It's grown on me since you gave me the beta, and it is now one of my favourite Naruto AMV's... and I think it's also my favourite video by you.

I liked how you changed the words at the beginning. They look a lot more dramatic and they flow better now. And I still think all of your effects look very pretty. It's a really fun vid to watch.

I was sad when this didn't get a nomination for Best Overall in Pro since I thought it was definitely one of the best in the contest... but it did win Best Action, and even though it won over my video, I have to say your vid definitely deserved to win something, so congrats.

I really enjoy this video. I saw it played a couple of times at awa and loved it everytime. I think the music choice was awesome and you did a very nice job of having drama in with the action. Telling the story was a nice touch that alot of action vids don't have and the effects and editing were great. ^^

I firstly though sierra lorna or silver moon made the video when i watched it @ a friend home and it seems like i was totally wrong.
Excellent job on this one bakadeshi for the story integrating and the subtle effects, definately a keeper.

You should make more action vids

I wasn't really drawn in by the mad effects, but I love how you manipulated the story.

silver_moon: hehe thanks. but I don't think I had a shot at best overall with "The Race" in the mix anyway, so its all good ;p I wanted to actually vote for your video in fun/upbeat, but it didn't get nominated in that category >.< I think I mainly won over yours simply because Zetsumo fits the "action" category better. Yours was an excellent video aswell, and along with Kwaseks entry, were the 2 I thought would give me the biggest threat in the category.

Lord Rae: Lol... thanks for the vote

Dark-Krystal: Thanks!

Nessephanie: It played more than once? thanks, yea I tend to end up always telling some kind of story in my videos even when I don;t try to for some reason. This time I tried to make it different from the anime for the first time. glad you liked the outcome.

LCY84: Since I am a huge fan of both of those canadian wonder twins' work, I take that as a huge compliment ;p And yes, I plan to make more.

p0d: Thanks

Moonlight Soldier: yea its probably alittle more effects heavy than my usual, although I still tried to use effects that don;t stand out too much and just enhance the action feel. Happy you liked the story manipulation though.

(If you want to see me go realy overboard on effects... check out my Ros2 track....

Thanks everyone for your comments as always ^^

Where to start?

This video accomplishes best in its original editing... The way scenes were cut together and the way you used motion with masks worked out really nicely, and I hadn't seen that technique anywhere else before... it made me feel like I'd never seen the footage in front of my eyes before when I indeed really had!

Great job and congrats on the win.
