"Taking Over Me" - Yuna's Song (FFX)

Hopefully this is alright, since I saw the thread stating that this site may no longer actually host AMV's using songs by Evanescence. I couldn't find anything about posting links to videos hosted on other sites, however. So if this violates any rules, my sincerest apologies.

This is my second AMV, set to "Taking Over Me" by Evanescence and using clips from Final Fantasy X and X-2. You can view it here or download it here.

I made it with the theme of portraying Yuna's longing for Tidus, and the clips fit the words of the song pretty well I think. The timing on this video is also much better than my last one. I'm thinking of entering it into some contests (the first time I've tried that), and would appreciate any input.

Ok, I watched it and it wasn't bad. There were a few things I didn't like, but I understand.

You did a good job of guiding a story along with the lyrics, but the overall depth of the video was pretty flat. However, I understand this because you're using CG footage from a game, so there's not much source material for you to choose from.

But overall, for what you had to work with, I liked it.

Hmm, what exactly do you mean by the video depth was flat? Flat in what way?

I mean like... it was basically the same thing over and over. fly shot over yuna, transition, shot of yuna and the guy. I mean you did a good job of telling the story, but it was kinda repetitive. Like I said before though, you're using game video footage, so you dont have a lot of selection.

Oh I see what you mean. I actually kind of did that on purpose to fit with the theme of the song. When the song talked about "you" I showed a shot of him, and when it said "we" I showed a clip of both of them together, and just generally used such clips to communicate visually what the song was saying. I see how that could be a little repetative though. Thanks for your imput.
