WOW. Excellent video! Beat sync could have been tightened up a little, but the concept was surprisingly solid and I really dig the psychedelia. VERY nice work here, I'm impressed!

quality was very good. was that the script from amvwiki, or your own?

X2...

A decent Eva video, actually. I usually don't go for this genre of AMV, either.

I don't think I liked the color effects you used during the bridge (2:00+), but overall it was well-timed and kept my attention.

It was my own, one of the scripts I play around with. This is the full script for each DVD.

mpeg2source("D:\AMV Footage\NGEP\NGEP Volume 1.d2v")

ConvertToYV12()
Telecide(order=1,post=2,blend=true,vthresh=30,back=1)
Decimate(cycle=5,mode=3,quality=3)

temporalcleaner()
WarpSharp(50)
FastLineDarken(strength=80,thinning=20)
deen("a3d",2,15,10)
mftoon()

crop(4,2,-4,-2)
AssumeFPS(24)
Lanczos4Resize(640,480)

Thank you for the comments. I can see where you are coming from on the color filters, but it seemed way too plain to me without.

X reminds me of Prodigi and a handful of other people of this hobby, that's besides any point, just something I'm noting(this goes beyond anything for anyone to understand but me, so just ignore this)

OK, on an actually serious note though, this is the best quality that I've seen using the eva series, better than I have done though. Maybe there is some over filtering done that kills some of the detail, don't know for sure. It isn't the best quality I've seen in a Eva video, some videos I've seen using the R2 movies look better.

A lot of scenes match the tone in the music, great beat synch, some things didn't look right to me, over all pretty nice. Don't take it as an insult, but I'm giving this 3/5. It's very rare that I give a 4 or above on a video. It's gone up recently but my average score has been below a 3 for years.

Keep up your hobby, you do make some interesting videos.
