And here's another outstanding crossover!

I like the fact that you had a clear storyline in mind, and that you stuck with it even if it means re-creating the whole scene to obtain what you need.
Aside from the size of Ayase's head in some plans, that was awesomely done !

The longer you watch amvs the more you learn to appreciate those rare moments when one renders you completely speechless. Thank you.

There were places where the rotoscoping was a bit too apparent but other than that, awesome.

If i havent seen these animes i wouldnt have realised it was a crossover. Stunning job; definetely one of the best in BC2013

Lots of tedious compositing to get your story across, great video!

Thanks everyone for the comments) I’m very pleased that you liked it

Was this mostly masking?

Yes, it was. The process was really terrible, approximately every scene was changed

While I can tell a lot of work went into it, when it comes to cross overs you need to do more work to make them look like they belong together. Raw masking with no attempt to really make the two sources look like they belong together crated an awkward feel throughout most of the video, perhaps you could work on color correction before working on another cross over. I would also suggest picking sources that at least look like they belong together, the character art differences were very jarring and gave the video a very disjointed feel. Also, watch your angles, parts like at 1:30 where the girl has her head titled as you aligned the other character with her at a very bad angle stand out as very poor design and you should either mask out the background or use a better angle for both characters. While all videos have their own flaws, cross over videos that have characters on screen at the same time tend to suffer more from sloppy editing and poor color correction as opposed to ones that do not attempt to put them on screen at the same time. With all that said, you do have an interested way of telling a story and that is a great skill to have when making videos. I look forward to future videos you put out.
