Holy fuck, this was a stressful few days finishing this video. It's pretty decent, i'm entering it at anime north and it should do pretty good (unlike last years video

)
So yeah, i'm too tired to talk about it right now, here's the link:

Watch it, leme know what u think, i didn't get a chance to send a beta to anyone so if there's any flaws, please let me know.
Also,this is my first time working with a .mp4 file, gotta say, it ain't bad

An 80MB mp4 for a video that's just under 5 minutes? WTF?

Hrmmm... For a video from you, I'm actually suprised, because for once there's some improvement.

+ Visual and Audio quality, although this cancels out because you have a pretty large MP4 file O.o
+ Lyrical and mood synch (except in the intro. You had some 'happy' images, with some pretty 'angry' music)
+ The source combination worked quite well
- ALL of the effects. Black and white inverted images at the very start made me want to stop watching the video immediately, and the strobes seemed out of place and annoying. If you're going to strobe like that, I'd suggest that between each strobe you change the clip, so it appears more rapid, rather than just strobing on and off on the same clips.
- The guitar string/bar type strobing at 3:12 was really irritating.

To be honest I'm quite suprised. There is obvious improvement in this video, although I still think you definately have to work on your effects work, and picking what works and what doesn't.

Yeah, i tried a 60 mb version before, but there was a bit of grain so i released a 80mb one because i released this for AN, i'll be uploading a smaller file later, plus i have one or two synch points i need to touch up and a bad fade/lip cancel mix i need to fix, as for prods comments, it's more a matter of style then what works and what doesn't, yeah a few of the effects were awkward because i had to rush it a bit, the dead line was yesterday and i made with only 2 hours to spare.
Thanks for the comments guys, especially that nipple comment

(or was that just random

)

I agree! Nice lyric sync, although the vid has it's bad parts, i still like it.
And this version is much better than the betas i've seen

Good job!
