Hey and welcome to the .org

Please enter your videos into the a-m-v.org catalogue before announcing, as requested in the Announcement Etiquette - it's important that you link to the video via an entry. Uploading it to the local would be nice too, but optional. Thread locked for now.
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…

Honestly? Telling people 'not to bother' isn't really gunna do much for you. I'm going to comment on it, because I find it necessary. Adding a watermark to a trailer is probably one of the worst things you could do, imo. Your name is sitting in the corner of a frickin' trailer. I'm very opinionated about things I'm passionate about (trailers are my favorite type of amv to make and to watch), and this is basically taboo. Watermarks aren't the best things on any video, but especially not for trailers.

This feels like one of those amvs that you sit down when it's raining and you spend an hour on. I didn't see any real effort, and therefore am unsure exactly what kind of 'critique' you are looking for.

The clip choice did absolutely no justice for your video. There was no sense of tension at all, which I feel was necessary, especially for this movie.
Internal sync is not the only thing you need to focus on in a trailer. The atmosphere is very important. It determines everything in a trailer! Imagine a trailer that feels "heavy"-- it's fading to black every so often, and the music is quiet and suspenseful. These 'details' determine everything (though I didn't give many examples there, I think you get it.) It's obviously not comedy. Imagine a comedy trailer like that. It makes no sense for something of that genre to 'feel' that way. For comedy, you want something upbeat, with lots of dialogue and hard cuts (as one example.)
Underneath category, you listed action and horror. Well, all I saw was action. I think the category option is to say what your amv is like, not the movie. If you wanted something with horror, it would have suspense. And sure, you could see it creeping in your video, but not nearly enough. Just watching your video over, does it make you say, "Gosh, that was creepy," or, "gosh, I have chills up my spines." Maybe the actual trailer wasn't like that either (or, at least, not to that extreme. I haven't seen it myself), but there was nothing to feel in your video anyhow. Just a bunch of actions scenes synced to the audio.

For your amv, it was two characters, perhaps looking like the characters they are playing, but not fulfilling the role. There is internal sync, but the atmosphere is missing. I can't determine what kind of movie it would be off your trailer. Plus, the two just don't correlate well to begin with. So, Jason has a mask. Whoop de doo, Basil. So does that guy from DtB. Guess that means I should go make a trailer with it now.

There are several ways to approach a trailer. Sometimes people decide to make the scenes from the anime match those in the trailer (ie: someone in the trailer turns their head, the clip you add has someone turning their head.) That's obviously not the case, and I don't have to see the real trailer to know that. The other way is to use the anime to match the atmosphere and mood of a trailer. In my eyes, making a trailer just with internal sync isn't one of those 'options', for lack of a better word. I'm really terrible at explaining things x_x
But really. You may think that, in the process of editing, the anime matches the movie and that's all that matters. But if you can't capture the true essence of that movie in the clips you use, what good does it do? What's even the point? And I'm not saying if the clip doesn't fit then don't make the video. That's why you have a program with options available to you, isn't it? Effects, transitions, photoshop. But no matter what, you should be creating this amv with the intention of making a trailer that says something. Your trailer isn't sayin' much, sorry.


I truly don't mean to come off as rude. I'm just very opinionated on this certain type of amvs. And all of this was my opinion.
If you want to make a trailer that says "Look how cool I am. This anime and this movie match SO well, so it must be great," then don't ask for critique. Once you decide that's why you're making this trailer, there is no longer anything to critique that would be beneficial to you. 1/5, Sorry.
