I didn't like it that much. It was kind of disorientating and hard to follow. which could be because i'm feeling sick. Might have to rewatch it when i'm not already feeling disorientated, lol.

Cool, nifty and smooth. However, it's something we've seen so many times before, and I think you could have tried to spice it up a little to give us something new. Some of the editing felt a little slow, or plodding, but for the most part it was right on.

I would have loved it if you'd pursued the scene relationships at about 1:50, where you've got the dude tossing something (keys?) and then Jue catches her sword. The link between the two clips was reaaaally cool, and I think you could have done some fucking slick stuff if you'd tried to do that more elsewhere in the video. Just a thought, would have spiced it up a little more for me. But either way, well done. :up:

I absolutely fucking LOVED the editing, but I think the effect choices really drug the video down for me. The color scheme over the whole thing and the TV simulator type effects just felt bland and gaudy.

Editing - 5/5
Video as a whole - 2.5/5

I would like to ask which parts were used, since there are parts of AM which I don't like much ^^;;

Its sad when I can tell exactly which external motion blur you used.. Overall a smooth and slick video but as stated before it seems more of the same. And while there are some subtle things that are completely new to you. And some of which are relatively new to us in general. None of it seems to have jumped out and grabbed me.

Still solid but nothing batshit insane.

editting was really good, so nice job on scene selections and placement :up: However I really didn't like it, just a personal thing since I neither like The Animatrix nor high amounts of external synch and rapid cuts (there were about 3 very clever internal synch moments tho), I can definitely see the editting merits =P
