First off, I love the promo pictures you do for your videos XD

Definitely enjoyed this one. Going back to the concert clips was cool, it just seemed that you were using the same concert scenes over and over. The lip flap was a little excessive, but I know that's already been mentioned a few times and you are aware of it. The ending was neat, but didn't you do something similar to that in your last Bleach video? I mean with making the video seem as if it were a dream. I don't know, maybe I'm remembering something else. I still liked it though. It was the overall atmosphere of the video really won me over.

Yea, i'll admit I didn't realy do much synching to the vocals in this one aside from the actual singing parts, wich usually isn't my style. I usually synch to whatever feels right to me, and the drum hits stand out so much that most of the synchs just fell into place on those.

And don't worry about being "the dick" as you put it, I apreciate honest coments ;p

Orwell:

Yea song can get tireing after a while. Even I've gotten sick of it from editing to it, gonna have to let it sit for a while before watching it again :lol:

As for the effect, I wasn;t completely satisfied with it myself, but it was the best I came up with, and i wanted to release the thing. I didn't think to try it vertical though, that might have ended up looking better.

jasper-Isis:

Haha no need to apologize, I'm the one that made the spelling mistake ;p

Coffee 54:

Thanks ^^

tyromaniac:

A certain Raw site i'm not allowed to post. ^_- check your PM.

kisanzi:

Thanks, yea I actually tried to take out more of the lipflap than I actually did (using photoshop), but it made the scenes less impactfull and too static. Haruhi just doesn't have the same energy when shes not running her mouth in alot of the scenes ;p

unfortunately there isn't much to play with there, the anime itself uses over a few camera angles in the episode, and I had to match up scenes that flowed with the music well enough to synch it, so some was unusable. I used every angle that I could get to work.
The ending was neat, but didn't you do something similar to that in your last Bleach video?
Well kinda, in a different way. the bleach video is her in acoma thinking about the stuff that actually did happen to her before that, so its not actually a dream of events that hasn't happened.

This video's ending is supposed to be Kyon suddenly waking up thinking that all of that was a dream, when in fact it wasn't. (I have Haruhi there blushing to try and convey that fact) I basically borrowed the idea for that ending from that episode of Haruhi, where Kyon wakes up after those events as if it was a dream. You'll get it if you have watched Haruhi.

JCD:
It does? And here I actually tried to fine tune this one more so than the last bleach one.

Unlimited Rice:

Thanks ^^

How hard is it to see the difference between the Live concert sections and the rest of the video? especially since those have the TV effect too. if you read the comments, you'd know that the lipsynching is ONLY her singing in the concert. all of the concert Live parts where Haruhi is singing is lipsynched. no where else is.
