I like my noodles spiced with kung-fu! New Muteki AMV

Well, after my first video didnt get smashed over here, and i actually recieved some mildly positive comments and encouragment to do some more, i decided to try again.

Muteki Kanban Musume is a comedy series, mixing martial arts parody and a slice-of-life small town setting resulting in 12 episodes of batshit insane. I tried to put all of that in my vid, but because of the song choice (horribly, horribly overused but c'mon give me a chance) the video focuses on the action.

I improved the synching to the extent Movie Maker let me, since it loves to create more problems then solving them. Also i did not attempt lip synch, the two or three times it appears it was made mostly by accident.

I hope you enjoy my video!

I could try to forgive you for using this song, but what did you do with it then? A martial art action vid that is quite linear...

I know this has been done before with different series, but i went through with it because if any anime actually should have a AMV like that, its this one, using that song was the first thing that came into my mind when i was 15 minutes into episode 1.

Since i knew what i was making i decided to make a good martial arts action video AND show off a series that is very underused in AMVs at the same time. Of course, since its my second AMV there is lots of room for improvement, so any comments about editing and technical stuff are very appretiated.

Not too bad for a second amv. Quality was alright, though it probably could have used some cleaing up. Mostly I would suggest working on your sync. It seemed you hit the beats for the most part, which is good, but there were some scenes that were kind of long, so you probably could have changed scenes on the beat a tad more often, especially considering how fast the song is and that it's an action video. Also, internal sync is your friend. There were some scenes that had it, but there were more that I felt could have been tweaked in some way to have internal sync also. There was also one shot that had credits in it, so you might want to avoid that in the future. Keep up the good work though, and continue to improve.

Btw, if WMM is giving you so much trouble, investing in another editing program might be worth it.
