nice job... I didn't like the rectangles and other similar geometry though.

I enjoyed it as a whole, but I wasn't a fan of those kaleidoscope-esque shapes either.

I thought it was hawt. Overall I liked your manipulation of color, and I really liked the more "dark" dance theme you used rather than the hyper kraziness you often see. Once again busting out some original effects, and I personally enjoyed the slower part of the song. Indeed, a jorb well done :wink:

Haha, I guess someone here watched to much Decoy / XRinoa videos ;).

Anyway I'm very satified how you mentioned to keep a video with such a lame and monotone song interesting. The effects look beautieful. And I have to admitt I really like the way you emphasized the radials and also the use of composite colors. To bad the song is not my cup of tea otherwise I'd really fall for this one. Ah, sorry before I forget it, the last 30 secs lacked a bit effort in my op, I guess the only thing you added besides the basic cuts were the moving masks, and well the rest got lost. But anyway fun to watch. 4/5

It was nice to see a Dual! video.

I thought some of the effects were rather distracting (I didn't like the circle things you used in the least), but overall, I enjoyed it.

Well...it was...different. And weird. And normally I would be continuing on to insult the video, but in this case, I really liked it. The geometry didn't bug me at all. Hell, if Koop can get away with it, so can you. Honestly, my only mini-complaint is that this runs a little longer than I like a dance video to run. If it's not really telling a story, there's only so long I can stand watching pretty images fly by before I get bored of it.

Anywho, this was very enjoyable, and I guess I'm just not seeing the problems that the others are.

nice! Overall I loved MOST of the effects you did with this, I realy liked how they were original and you tried different things to come up with interesting and new things. (except for the part that looked like a direct rip of style from Warhearts Ayumix track :lol: ) I think the only effects I didnt realy like where the circular wheels of rectangles rolling accross the screen 1:42ish (Just didn;t like them, no other real reason) and some of the neon color overlays looked a little amaturish in quality. (2:49ish) an especially the bench at 2:53... the edges look too rough, kinda spoiling the effect for me. I have no other nitpicks besides those though. awesome job overall.

Nice to see Dual finnally getting some well edited love.

Whenever there's multiple effects there's always people who won't like at least one of them. I think you attempted all the effects with full power so I can say I liked all of them to a great level. The video itself was very nice too. Felt like there was a story the whole way through.

You did say you tried a crapload of new effect ideas but it was just mainly masking, masking, masking. Loved it but you'll definetely need to try something different next time.

I'm glad to see so many people take an interest in this vid! Let me say that I was expecting some varied reactions to different sections of the vid. With so many different effects there's bound to be some parts that work for some people but not for others. But all in all I'm very happy to see that people still enjoyed the vid. Thanks to everyone who've watched it and left comments!

@Fall_Child - My visual assualt of squares has now come to an end :P

@ Ileia - And what's so wrong with having artsy titles...hmmmm?

@Krat - I dunno...I think my drama is dead atm...

@rubyeye - haha, i like those comments. i'll need to but those on the poster for vcas next year.

@decoy - i did squares, wheels, ribbons...and you want hexagons too?!

@warheart - yeah...i think i got the itch to to this kinda thing after watching both decoy's and xrinoa's vids constantly

@dj_ultima - they're not problems per se as much as preferences and such which i understand was bound to occur

@bakadeshi - Hey! I had that sequence done like 2 months ago :P But thanks for the comments, i was really trying to do some ideas that i haven't seen used before

@rurounikeitaro - Yeah, this will be my last crazy shapes vid for a long while. I think I'm gonna fall back onto sync and lighting for my next one, but thanks for the support!
