Now that i have your undivided attention...

Title - Second Coming
Audio - "Sun Doesn't Rise" by Mushroomhead
Footage - Cowboy Bebop, series and movie

Between eating Ileia's offspring, and taking Lock in all kinds of shapes and forms i managed to finish this video. Kudos to Lockstock for introducing me to Mushroomhead, allowing me to finally find a song i felt happy with using to my long overdue Bebop video. And thanks goes to AtomX, Nesse, Ileia, Lock and Koop for beta testing. You're input was valuable, and despite my hatred for having to change things for you, you should all know that i still luffle you... except you Jay : \

and now i leave you with Ileia's thoughts:
"I like the editing, but the song assaults my ears."

BEST.
THREAD.
TITLE.
EVER.

Nice, strong editing on this one. Every different part of the song was matched up really well. I especially like the black and white rose bit, and the text was really neat. The ending seemed a bit abrupt, but I blame the song (wait...can I blame Locky? Yeah. I think I will).

(also, those children that you ate, they were yours.

)

*cracks whip* Jump boy! Jump!

I agree with Ileia that the song makes my ears bleed, but I really liked the editing and thought you did a good job on the vid ^^

...despite my hated for test in vids

yay for mushroomhead and yay for prodigi ^_^

v. nice vid mate, I thought some sections were a little rushed and didnt get as much attention as other parts but all in all it was awesome

Kill me for triple posting I don't care ;P
Serious one this time hehe.

Just watched the full final verson (only saw beta tests before) so I can give my full opinion hehe.
Most of the editing in the video I liked, it suited the mood and was overall pretty good (really liked the rain scenes with the rose and such ^^), though during the chorus', I found that they felt a little rushed and sort of overlooked, like not as much effort went into the editing of them as other parts of the song...
Most of the video made use of color, fades, bluring, that sorta thing, and the chrous' kinda struck me as a bit lacking.

But yeah, otherwise, despite my not liking the song, the vid was cool ^^

Good job on most of the effects but your cuts seem a lot too abrupt.

You go from one scene of the series to a completely different one (maybe even from the movie, with completely different light) with a straight cut. I don't feel that that was the best choice for this kind of song, I always put this particular one in the Linkin Park category (no offense srsly

) and not into the straight Metal one with hard cuts to edit to. Because of some of the effects like the "error" text messages part and the one concentrated around Julia the flow also kind of gets disturbed for me, its just like a whole bunch of Spike action and then suddenly you get some random effects or even a drama storyline out of nowhere while the song doesn't change its pace that much.

Just as a reference: I liked this AMV to the song a bit better than yours in terms of flow (And no, it's not as bad as you may think when reading what anime it uses).

I hope you're not angry about my critique, but I'm really just trying to help since other than that I like the video. Nice work.
