Post by Polaris_Dd » Thu Apr 06, 2006 10:07 am

Anime used:getbackers-bleach (as posted in title)
Music: Kryptonite, 3 doors down (i know it is a really popular song and i am sorry to use it but since it is my first amv i thought i shouldnt improvize on that..)

As i posted before i need advice in my first amv...
I also need recomendations about a good AND easy programm to use (for this amv i used windows movie maker)
I got Vegas6.0 which i find really hard to use so unless u can hlp me learn how to use it you could recommend me another :)

One last thing: i need advice, not opinions....

Well, here's my review whatever:

1. For a WMV file, its too big, IMO. I managed to encode a 4 minute 25 second AMV, and got a relatively good quality, in AMV with a max size of 11 megs.

2. The title screen is kinda generic ^^; I see that title screen in about every... AMV on youtube. Sometimes that title screen makes me think its the same studio behind o_O If you're gonna do a title screen, make it original... ahah :)

3. SUBTITLES. GET RID OF THE THEM. SUBTITLES ARE BAD. TACTLESS. TASTELESS. TAKES AWAY FROM THE VIDEO. EW EW EW EW EW EW GET RID OF THEM.

4. The inconsitancy with the aspect ratio is bad.

IE: Getbacker fight scenes are letter boxed, Bleach is not. Pick one, do you want the video letterboxed or do you want it full screen?

5. The scenes do not match with the song, so it seems as if its just another AMV. Generic, fight scene here and there, nice transitions. You know?

I mean:

" If I go crazy / would you call me superman " to a scene of Byakuya touching Ichigo = ... doesn't match.

Get what I'm trying to say?

I would advice buying the DVDs for Getbackers at leaset, because the the fansubs you have vary in consitancy :/ The DVDs are liek 20 bucks at bestbuy, and actually, I bought the first two at 11.99 :D

Its nice, but its just too generic. Keep practicing and you'll get better! We all started at some point ^^
