"Defeat You" by Smash Mouth

Finished last April. I waited a few months to upload for my own reasons.



Ignore the "Various". For all practical effects, it's just Naruto (series, OVA2 and Movie)

All "Oh, it's Naruto" issues apart, please watch the video with an open mind.

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated, even nonsensical flaming. For more details on the video, please read the description page.

I hope you all enjoy it, or at least that you don't suffer much :)

Not bad. My biggest issues would have to be that as much as you tried to keep the different sources looking uniform, I could definitely tell the differences between different scenes, mostly because of messed-up aspect ratios. Also the video looked a bit TOO sharpened for my tastes.

Editing-wise, also not bad. The feeling of the video was pretty consistent, but there were several things I didn't like, such as the overlays at places like 0:31 and 1:07 (but I rarely like overlays like that anyway). The lip sync kind of felt unnecessary, although if you had done it more it probably would have fit a little better in the video.

All in all, a nice video, but sadly I don't think I'll be watching it again, mainly because I'm sick of Naruto videos and Smash Mouth gets on my nerves really easily.

3/5

Wow, thatnks a lot for the feedback! :D I was afraid I'd only get "Good" and "Bad" as reviews.

I'll keep what you said in mind for the next videos. Especially about the sharpness. I've been slapped on the wrist for that on another occasion as well.

Thanks again.
