I'm really appreciate your opinion. It's a true honor to have a word with such huge and dedicated DS fan as you. Can't wait to see your own video here so you could finally show me how to make good videos. |

 | [01.02.2018] MrNosec » Delusion [buggy] | I really like this song, even tho I never heard it before I watched this video, it kept playing in my head after I finished watching so that's halfway to liking the video.
And fortunately I like the video almost as much as I like the song, imo it's not your best video yet, but I enjoy it nonetheless.
The sync is very good right from the start and it creates a great pace, the shine is also put to great use in most cases, the overall video looks great, I actually like the punpun imagery even if it feels tacked on in some scenes, it gives out a nice aesthetic, the mirroring effect could have been used a little more often instead of just twice or so but from reading the comments you apparently did it for a specific reason so I won't argue there. It has nice mood, and it's an artsy buggy video through and through.
Okey now the "subjective nitpicking the shit out of your video" part cuz its a gud vid and I think it deserves it cuz some parts annoy me.
The scene with the girl at 0:22, I can barely see her, maybe thats the point but, I think the shine or glow is a little too extreme.
In some scenes the glow is way too aggressive, the transition between the glowing parts and the non-glowy ones could be smoother, looks like a color burn in some cases.
Some composited scenes look sorta off putting to me like at 0:36, maybe it's the lack of symmetry, or the lack of contrast in the characters and bg, like when the girl pops up, the moon loses all it's brightness, it feels sorta incomplete.
At 0:42 the RGB looks kinda weird to me, maybe it would look better if the gamma of the scene itself was way lower? The contrast is also lost due to the overlaying low opacity scene of the girl, which can be easily fixed by adding an adjustment layer over the two scenes with the effect "auto contrast" (Ae), but maybe this was the look you were going for so if that's the case, nevermind that.
The Rorschach scenes look a little too sharp and fluffy to me, I don't know if that's fractal noise or some other effect but, making it a bit more organic or fluid like would certainly make it easier on the eyes for me.
The vanishing scenes like at 1:17 could also look better but they do their job.
I wish you could have used a higher bitrate, 16 reference frames instead of 6, or even 10bit color depth, because it's a good looking video which is held back by the encode, as some gradients look absolutely awful and there's some instances of macro blocking as well.
With all the technical gay stuff aside, it's a good video, thanks for making it, and congratulations for the ( first or second, idk I'm not a fortune teller yet ) place. |

 | [01.02.2018] Geingel » Morpheus Fragment [Radical Dream] | This is what I wanted to do some years ago with another Tales of. Watching this is pushing me to go back to to that project.
I really love action AMVs like this, so epic and well made. It hits my soft spot And been a Tales of it makes me like it more. I like a lot how you manage the colors, looks so cool in the action.
Nicely done. |

| [01.02.2018] Geingel » Lucida [DrPenguin] | I'm in love with your AMV. It's charm, it's climax, the rhythm, the characters, ... everything looks so good. I was amazed when I saw it. Now I can't get ride of the song out of my head.
Truly, thank you for doing it. |

Thank you for your feedback and wishes, I appreciate it and will do my best to take it into account.
I guess you could say it really wasn't her final form  |

 | [31.01.2018] Хлебушек » Providence [iSynister] | | EvilSpider @ 31 January 2018, 04:48 | | But creating multiple accounts (using same IP address) just to push points for single video is not something that can be tolerated. You don't need any rules to understand that |
LOL! Неплохо так накрутил =) |
|
 | [31.01.2018] alkorax » Lines in the Sand [Mysunsai] | | I probably understood it in a completely different way than it was intended, but the amv touched me quite a bit. The atmosphere is very close to my impression of the anime. Not sure about technical stuff, but, subjectively, I liked the clip a lot. |
|
 | [31.01.2018] BloodCurse » Last fire fades [Bea$t] | As a huge fan of the dark souls series I am really disappointed by this video. The music was just a shitty metal remix of the Dark Souls soundtrack and you were even too lazy to go into the game and make some cool scenes, not only that but the only thing you have really edited was just a 60 fps speed up for some scenes. The atmosphere got ruined with the drum smashing of the song and you even used cutscenes of the shitty dark souls 2 game that has NOTHING to do with Lordran nor will ever have. The only thing I have liked from your entry was your entry poster which I am not even sure if it is your original art.
To sum it up: This video is shit and the only reason why you are in the finale is because you won 3 times akross already. I hope you stay away from Dark souls remastered or atleast learn how to correctly edit Dark souls videos
Kthxbye

| [31.01.2018] MrNosec » Last fire fades [Bea$t] | This is surprisingly low quality and low effort from a guy who has won something in 3 Akrosscons in the past 
I mean.. this is the type of video get when you open up youtube and search " Dark Souls GMV ", it's your typical fanmade video composed of only cutscenes with rock music slapped on top of it, I think your Claymore and Berserk videos were fantastic but this is beyond disappointing.
A lot of the other users seem to like it, but maybe it's simply because it's a video from you? Maybe it's me, maybe I'm just not seeing the magic..?  anyway gl in the contest |

Thanks!
Yeah, I didn't invent the rorschach test. You got me gud |
|
 | [31.01.2018] kuruta » A Moment Apart [Nards] | the concept is clean for me, I really like how you handled the development of it in the scenes and in the parts built by you, I have not seen this anime, even though I think it was the best choice for what you wanted to express in the video. You have to work better with the color correction, some scenes look too dark (saturated blues above all). the scene of 1:35 is strange because of that grid behind. Another thing that did not seem right, is to leave the body of the girl as part of the geometric figure, it takes away abstraction and confuses the viewer, you could have used geometric figures for the body as well.
In spite of all this, it is a good job and I wish you luck in the votes for the first place. |

| [31.01.2018] kuruta » Delusion [buggy] | One of bests video of the contest. Cool story and dramatic. I dont like the head of "Punpun", It looks weird in many scenes and the effects are not entirely original
