This is my very first AMV, so please... when reviewing it, be gentle.

I would definitely appreciate some constructive criticism though!

I just wanted to say "thank you" to whoever left the quick-comment about my AMV this Wednesday.

I appreciate the kind words.

Anyways, on to a new project. I want to improve my editing's precision and synchronizing... so I'm going to try a straight up action vid next.

As a first video it's pretty good. Scene selection is mostly very nice and the end shows that you can be creative with your source footage. I wish I had seen more of that in the middle too (eg. around the mansion assult where Henrietta fakes a surrender/hostage). Nice going around the dining- and snipingscenes. Promising vid.. looking forward for a next one.

Footage is widescreen, but the vid itself isn't. So you have those black bars there there only to increase the filesize. It also looks a bit dumb when you do the white flashes/fades.

Well my source DVDs are all widescreen, so to get them properly proportioned on a 4:3 screen I needed to have the black-bars there. 99% of my DVDs are widescreen, but I don't yet own a widscreen TV aside from my portable, so I guess I'm just used to seeing everything letterboxed.

You know.. it's possible to crop the AMV after it's done.
