Final Fantasy 7: Hand of Sorrow
This is my latest AMV, using footage from Final Fantasy: Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus, set to the new song "Hand of Sorrow" by Within Temptation. This video is a double character profile of Cloud Strife and Vincent Valentine, contrasting their similar emotions, loves, trials, and victories in one dramatic and action-packed video.
For this video, I placed a high emphasis on lyrical sync, and tried to make it unique from other FF7 AMVs by using clips not often seen in other videos. Though only my 4th AMV, it is actually my 15th music video, and I guarantee it is worth watching.
I would be very grateful for any comments or suggestions you could give, and I'll being doing an OP exchange with any other Final Fantasy AMVs, so if you'd like to trade OP's, let me know.

Video: You've got some pretty powerful images here and you're right - you used scenes I've never seen in an amv before. A good thing, really. What I especially loved about your amv were your scene changes, they were mostly smooth and flowing and the changes between Vinny and Cloud worked well. Your sense of timing is very, very good at most parts (see last point), I rarely saw such a dynamic FF-mv. And that you tried to translate the lyrics literally did it's part too, I love it when people try to really understand the lyrics. Congratulations.
Audio: Nothing to say, it's a flawless copy of one of my most favourite songs.
What could have been better: Well, there were a few ingame-scenes which startled me at first cause they're nothing against the famous FF-high-res-sequences. But they fit into the story, so that's not important (and it's not like you could change their quality). The only really drawback I noticed were the fast drum-solos before the refrains - you should have used more faster scenes in my opinion, it looks slow that way. But that is the only (!) not-so-good thing about your amv and it's way above most FF-mvs I've ever seen.
Watch this piece of art, people. If you like the song, you'll love it, if you don't like it, it's still a very good action sync amv.
Bout your offer: It's no FF-mv, but it would be nice if you'd take a look at my new one too, although it's more into lip sync than about action sync.
