Thanks <3

Can't tell wether I liked this more or less, but I enjoyed it.
I hadn't seen the song/anime combo used before, and when I checked the org when I got the idea there were none entered, but I can't say it really surprises me that you've seen it done. I was actually pretty surprised that it hadn't been as far as I could tell. I'm glad you enjoyed it anyway :up:
Code wrote:Wow. That song/anime combo was brilliant. The only thing I was really confused about was Asmaria, because she really didn't seem to fit anywhere, except to provide literal sync. :O I also questioned the slow-mo scenes, because they kind of stood out as odd (then again, that might just be because I've seen the series).

It was a tad too slow for my personal taste, but it worked out well. :O
Why thank you. I think I know some of the exact slo-mo scenes you mean, and that is the one part of the video that really bugs me still. There was supposed to be another scene in there, but it stood out too much on it's own (bright background, when the rest of the scenes were dark), so I was trying to turn it into an overlay, but I couldn't get the overlay to not look like total ass :/ Still, I'm glad that you liked it to some extent, and thanks for the critique.

Thanks, Dr Jones!
surfsama wrote:I thought the scene choices and editing very complimentary to the music.
I also felt the music and video flow was spot-on.

Nice work!
Thanks!

Otohiko wrote:I thought this was a real creative risk, actually, and I was kind of worried the flow might break up, especially with the faster-paced footage and what seemed to be a pretty tight, linear narrative getting set up. Seriously, the song is deceptively simple but I could tell from the start that unless it took off towards the end it'd be really hard to pull off - and it didn't take off, but pull it off you did. Some really neat, subtle editing moments towards the end and the flow really worked, especially in the second half of the video. The narrative worked well too.

So yea, take moar creative risks like this, I like :o
Thank you Oto, I appreciate it. I shall take more risks. :o

Haha, yeah, I recall discussing this with you during an early beta. Thanks.

Thanks Ileia <3
inCluDe wrote:Whoat a cute lyric sync :3.
Thanks. I consider the lyric sync to be one of the most difficult things about this video, and obviously some people didn't like it, so I'm glad that it worked for other people.

Moonlight Soldier wrote:Aesh you know I <3 it! I thought it had been trashed since I never got to see anymore than a very early beta but I was really pumped when I saw it on the Pro discs!
Thanks! Sorry, I didn't mean to make you think I had scrapped it. >_>

You would laugh at that, but I wouldn't have you any other way. Also, how did you get a picture of my dead hooker storage tank? O:<
