 | [21.12.2013] MouseBollocks » The Boy Who Murdered Love [ONEWAYS] | | Fantastic stuff here. The concept is great, and the story strikes the balance between being clear and not too simple, but it's the backgrounds and graphics you made that make this a really special video. I particularly like how they occasionally reference the song's music video. The only thing I would point out is that the masking is occasionally a little lackluster, but I'm aware that Hyouka is a difficult show to mask accurately. Really good job overall, and good luck in the contest! |

| [21.12.2013] MouseBollocks » Undone [cero] | Agree with the person a few comments down. I wouldn't recommend entering a contest (Particularly AKROSS, as it's basically an elite contest) with your first video.
The video itself is honestly just a standard action AMV. I'm afraid that's all there really is to say on the matter. A good first attempt, however. |

I added the screen tearing because I wanted to sync certain sounds, but I also intended them to alienate the viewer from immersion, to give the feeling that something isn't right, which becomes obvious in the turning point towards the end. So far I didn't notice that anyone took it that way, so I guess it was a failed experiment. I still like them for syncing purposes though :) |

| [21.12.2013] MouseBollocks » tan(x) [lolligerjoj] | I adored Into The Labyrinth, and this tops it in a number of ways. Obviously, the technical side (Particularly the use of Twixtor, but I especially adore the light rays) has improved greatly, and the video looks phenomenal. However, more importantly, I felt like I understood the overall idea of the video much more than I did for ITL . I loved ITL as a technical marvel, but suspect that it was just designed to be that. I never got the impression that there was any further concept behind the video, which was not true here. Also, this video had more emotion in it. ITL was aggressive, but emotionally dry, and this video is the opposite. I don't know if it's just my reaction to it, but I ultimately found the video to be quite sad.
The one thing that I found disappointing was that you do not seem to have learned one very important thing from ITL, and that is about using unnecessary effects. Unless it was my laptop crapping out, I felt that the screen-tear type effects didn't really contribute to the video enough to make up for the fact that they were very jarring.
I'll stop comparing it to ITL now, and say that in it's own right, the video is a technical masterpiece, with a strong concept and a unique level of emotion injected into it. I've waited a long time for your next video, and now it's arrived I can safely say I am not disappointed. Fantastic work, and the best of luck in the contest. |
