I think the song is really perfect for the anime. Comment and suggestion are greatly appreciated. Hope you all like it. :wink:

That wasn't bad. I enjoyed it. I'll definitely be leaving you an opinion later, but for now I'll point out a few of the main things I noticed...

- Quality could be drastically better. It wasn't terrible, but the Voices of a Distant Star DVD is one of the cleanest, flawless sources I've ever seen.

- I noticed that alot of beat syncing opportunities were skipped, yet the last quarter of the video looked like it was done by a completely different person, as suddenly it went from skipped opportunities to alot of really fast well done syncing. I assume you got better with the progression of the video, or something. Your lyric sync was pretty good overall.

- The one subtitle at the very end was a nice touch.


This along with taking into consideration that it's your first video, I'd say you did a decent to good job. Certainly better than my first video, and most of the first videos I've seen.

I'm glad you enjoyed the amv.

The quality of the amv was really good when I first export it to avi,
but when I tried to compress it with virtualdubmod,
some frame keep repeating themself,
so I just use windows movie maker and convert the avi file to wmv file, so the quality is not really good.

Thanks for the comment and suggestion. I'll consider what you said for my next amv. :D

Well, while the quality isn't as good as it is on some AMVs like devilmaykickass said, it's a whole lot better than others I've watched.

Also, you really saved the best for last in this video, which is a very good thing. It looked as though you were building up to it. You started out with simple shots of the characters sitting around and such, then you worked your way into more of the action shots and then returned to the simple ones for the song's close. It follows the progression of a standard-issue action film. Very nice work, especially for a rookie.

I'll leave you an opinion soon.
