| [17.01.2016] Nanuk » Flames of Liberation [DaiKunProductions] | Okay, I think it's only fair for you to know what I think about your video. Here are my scores: 8 for Artistic, 10 for Technical, 8 for Music/Video and 9 for Personal. Let me explain each one briefly:
The concept was amazing! I've never even imagined something like this could actually have been made purely out of editing, and you made it possible! You even made a battlefield, what the heck?! Why the 8/10 then? I'm sorry, this is completely subjective, but I personally hate cgi, and taking into account that it looks like if the battlefield was extracted from the Nintendo 64, and that I'm a person that seeks high definition quality, this dissapoints me a bit. But man... You actaully went through all the trouble to make something like this! I feel bad for not giving you straight 10's! The textures were also a bit too polygonal, and when you crossed all of those main characters over to the battlefuield, I saw a bit of quality loss, specially in the movements of the, let's call them, monsters. But overall, you deserve at least an 8/10, out of pure subjectiveness.
The technique was incredible, nothing much to say here. You build up your own world and played with it like if it were a video game, so 10/10 there. Nothing I can actually tell you off for in this category, since it's both original and I know that it took you a lot of time and effort. I could mention a few things concerning the editing, but I think that's more relevant in the artistic part instead of the technical, since what you were trying to transmit is more related with the artistic point of view.
Now, my lack of interest for the song and the synchronization of all the moving elements makes me feel a bit unpleased, I really think the song (although I dind't like it too much) had a few moments that could have made the composition explode. Like for example, the final hit on the Boss monster could have been a bit more epic (the character looks like she's walking on air) and could have mixed with a drop, or something of the sort. But you did a decent job, so thumbs up there!
And finally, my personal enjoyment was almost 10/10 if it weren't for the subjective points I've mentioned earlier. You know, the cgi, the polygonal textures, lack of expression... But I still enjoyed watching this video a lot! So there goes my 9/10.
Over all, you get a 8.8, and I wish you the best of luck! I hope you become finalist, since the effort put into this should be compensated likewise! I look forward to seeing more AMV's from you in the future! |

I think I see the symbolism but a more realistic battlefield (like somewhere on Earth fighting aliens) would've served it better imo |

This strongly reminds me of Nostromo's AMV's, wich can only serve as a compliment from my perspective. Amazing scene selection and artistic vision that allows you to picture and create this immersive experience that somehow looks like it's meant to portrait the inner workings of your mind at the same time.
You definitely deserve a great spot in the contest. Have my 10. |

| [17.01.2016] Nanuk » SATURDAY ANIME NIGHT [masaka!] | Hahaha, really fun video! I liked the fluidity of the movements and the music was really well used. You pretty much made use of the Dance genre nicely and played with the music along the way. There are a few things that make me give you an 8/10 instead of a higher score, and they are the following: the music syncrho felt a bit off from time to time, some scenes, although they were used fairly well, didn't fell right (like for example in the minute 2:40, you used a different tipe of scene, witch made the black bars stand a bit too much for my taste), you could have picked up the pace and made the scene change a bit faster (although you used a great amount of Anime, so that's just the cherry on top that would have made it perfect) and I think some color correction would have been appropiate (since some scenes missed the queue and felt completely off). Overall, it still feels great to watch, really entertaining! Good luck out there! |

i think you need to start using curves, also try to improve animation and texturing for your next video. i respect your effort, good luck. |

| [17.01.2016] Nanuk » Meaningless [kawaimi-chan] | Hey, not bad! I think you sorted out the basics pretty much and demonstrated what you wanted to transmit. The message was really convincing, and that's one of the things I like about your video. The genre is very well obeyed, the visuals, althought they could have used a bit more resolution, are appealing and the music is pretty cool. I liked that in the drops you decided to go experimental and played with the effects. It turned out to be an enjoyable watch overall! The reason why I'm giving you a 7/10 is because I think that, concerning the quality of the image mostly, it lacks visual attachment. Let me explain: you did an outstanding job with the masks (although I could see a few black lines from here to there), the music synchronization was pretty good, although it could have been better (maybe you could have made the drop more explosive, although that was handled quite nicely) and the scenes chosen were good, but just that. Its lacking various things that could have made it perfect. And please, when doing an AMV on Romance and drama, people should really start implementing 1080p to stand out the scenes and feels! The use of the scene of Hyouka with Chitanda's hair, that could have been way better if the quality had been higher. Nevertheless, I hope that you continue making AMV's and I wish you good luck! |
