Неплохо.

The choice of music was unique and I liked it. The mix of derpesssing-like anime used to the upbeat song makes it very intriguing to watch. Compared to your previous edit I can tell you've improved quite a bit to be honest. Great job and keep it up, good luck this year!

Сама идея хороша. Жаль только реализовать ее что бы "цепляло за душу" не вышло.

Never thought I'd see you enter here ahah, but anyways I liked the video overall being that you grasped the feel of the FoB song. Your usage of transitioning was pretty well done, but you lacked a basic story some sort of basis. Unless someone's watched FMAB itself they wouldn't really get a full understanding of the AMV. Neverthless great job. 7/10

Не впечатлило, нарезка сцен боев под эпичную музыку.

awesome! :smile:

I'm thoroughly confused. I'd give a pretty high rating on this only for the fact that the randomness was very consistent and kept you on your toes? It made no sense whatsoever and I think that was your goal. Nevertheless I feel as though there should've been a least a bit more context to this, instead of just randomness ahah. There was also lip flap at some parts as well as excessive zooms that showed pixelated parts.

Слишком частая смена кадра утомляет, даже для экшена во многих местах со скоростью перебор. Смена сцен несколько раз в секунду создает мельтешение и не позволяет погрузится в клип.
После просмотра остаются эмоции только от музыки, а само видео даже не вспоминается.
Только за технику монтажа поставил 5/10.

Your usage of what skills you have is well done enough, but without some basic concept or story it seems like just a jumbled up action video of epic fighting scenes. That as along with the fact that it seemed a bit dry towards the middle-end of the video being that it was quite RAW at some points.

A cute edit, could've been the opening to this anime itself ahah. Nice balanced usage of the FX though with not too much spammage. Some more or less pixilated masks though.

I had a nice feel, but the scenes overall seemed out of place as well as the transitioning being placed oddly. The flow early one in your video seemed off or stunted, but picked up and was better towards the end. Overall a decent job, I liked it.
[15.12.2013] RetributeAMV » ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam [ZackStrifeAMV]
In looking at it, just seems like a compilation of randomly selected scenes from Gundam SEED layered with music and FX. An alright AMV that could use improvement and less randomness.

The overall emotional aspect of the AMV was great especially for 15 days, but the only thing I didn't exactly enjoy was the early parts where the transitioning and clip changes were so abrupt. nevertheless great job. oh and the laugh and Japanese audio towards the end was funny lol

I had honestly forgotten about this year's contest(already planning for my next debut) but I kept sneezing while watching magi and felt I was been spoken of somewhere else and not my allergies acting up :tongue:
Regarding my disqualification, I discussed with EvilSpider on various aspects of the contest. I think the most important thing I felt was a problem was how novice contenders or people who are new to akross or amv contests in general are easily susceptible to disqualification and did my best to make a case for them. I had already posted my video on youtube and animemusicvideos.org after i was finished and it was through AMV.org that I made my first contest entries to two other con events and also first heard about this one. I did make an attempt to stop any public online showing but I wasn't going to write emails to the other contests and ask for a withdrawal. I make amvs like many, as a hobby. It's what introduced me to my career and it's something I will always do even when I am old and grey. I respect the moderators and the rules here. I feel contests like this, celebrates our artistry and creativity as editors. It should be relatively open* and the exclusivity clause is something we need to rethink as a rule. I hope that the rules will be openly discussed someday as this platform continues to grow.

*as long as the video was made around the launch of the contest

The Video: Its really interesting to see a different take on a song choice. There were pockets of storytelling but I think you prioritize flashiness (i use this term loosely) when you were making your selections and a lesser consideration for the lyrics context. That's fine but it ends up sending a mixed message. Technically, its got great flow and some several instances transitioned pretty well.Nice job and best of luck.
