Video: Proxy Of Deception
Anime: Ergo Proxy
Song: The last crusade
Artist: Epica
Creator: hydrax

I wanted to make a Ergo Proxy amv because I haven't seen any good ones around, and the anime deserves something good because it looks great, has a great atmosphere through-out, and I thought this song would help show that. Hope you like it.

I'm a huge fan of this show and I'm happy to see video's with it pop up. But it also comes at a price. The fact that the serie's isnt out on a propper distro format for editing is prove of that. You used standart resolution raws from what I can tell along with multible aspect ratio's. That is something you probably cant help. But you need to know that Ergo Proxy is a HD show and is aired in 720p and is 1080p on HDdvd/Bluray distro. The fact that I myself have the 720p raws. And shows that you could have atleast done a better job at looking for these. Anyway aside from all of that bullshit I'm putting down here. The video itself was "oke". My standart for video's is pretty high enspecialy when it comes to vids with shows like this. The sync was oke but overall your sync and editing didnt stand out all that much.

6.5/10

Also try not to use full creative cow tuts for intro's. Enspecialy if the rest of your video shows that you are unable to make such an intro.

Being an Ergo Proxy fan, I had to check this out. After watching it, I have to repeat what Nio stated earlier. The aspect ratios grated me a little, since it is possible to get some damn high quality rips of this show, or even the R2s, if you want to be legal. They're all HD and the same AR, so you don't have to worry about those things. The sync seemed inconsistant to me, there were parts that were very well done, internally and with cuts, but others seemed really lacking, or just badly done. The lip sync added an interesting dynamic, I think it was an overall plus to the video. But in the end, it seemed like it was a ton of random scenes, good sync for the most part, but no plot or substance behind it.

Definately a solid try, and certainly better than most I've seen. I just expected a little more, overall it was pretty average.

Kristyrat I would definatly agree with what you said, for the most part I wouldn't say I put maximum effort into this due to several reason which I won't go into, and totally agree with the inconsistency of the syncing, its a criticism I made of myself.

Thanks for your comment again!
