So are you saying that if I basically changed the video around completely it would be better? Are there any redeeming qualities to the video as of this moment? What does flow mean? Is it just another word for "cutting more often"? What of scene selection? If you could improve this video what would you do? I would appreciate details please.

Way to be mature, guys

anyhow DropOuter;
with flow it's not really "cut it more often" (thought you might want to do that too, I don't know, haven't downloaded the vid, Comp is suuuuper slow at the moment *kicks it*) But you know how a .... song flows, right? And if there is a beep in the song, it disrupts the flow! (genius that I am!)

So if a vid doesn't flow, it could be because its just too unnatural to look at (eg you use too much of weird effects that doesn't look good) or you use clips that are totally unrelated to anything at all. Maybe there's something else as well... I don't know, haven't watched the vid... Which I should. Soon. Maybe tomorrw...

Man, I am not making much sense...

Flow. Like... Making your video run smoother. So like...It seems to go perfectly with the song. Almost like The music is caused by whats happening in the vid, not the other way around.

Way to be even more vague

What a bundle of joy he is. Spreading joy and happiness all around! What would we be without these background comments?

Pretty solid, man. Slow beginning, nice buildup, then pretty much intensity all the way through. I dunno about flow, but considering the lack of transparencies and transitions, I thought it was good. I mean it's old school, and it's rock. Straight forward, good times had by all.

You'd be nowhere, since you obviously don't know how amazing this video is.

Seriously man, think this through and then come back with some info for me because this makes very little sense to me. I appreciate that you're trying, but I just don't see where you're coming from.

I believe that the idea of matching every little tiny thing in a song to video is antiquated and artistically stagnant. Is there room out there for an AMV that isn't edited in any traditional way?

Well the thing about yoru vid. Is that it seems like you barely edited it. Like...You Didn't try. Found some somewhat appropriate scenes and slapped em up on it.
