Sweet Sacrifice[AMV-Best To Date]

TheTerrorofDeath · 09/27/08, 04:17 AM

Well it's been a long time since i've been in doing AMV's. Got tired of using WMM, but I started one on this program and wanted to finish it because I loved how it was going. Anyways, took me about a day all together, hour wise, and just finished it. Theme really isn't there, instead I wanted to showcase .hack as well as I could for now. I know that there were a few timed problems, but it's hard to fix things like that, when it continuely freezes up. Also shitty quality on youtube, compared to what it should be. But anyways, here is my latest, and hopefully my last on WMM. Please give me ANY critique and comments. Will be greatly appreciated. I worked hard on this.

Dude, I know you know better....whyyyyy why did you use clips with credits in them!!!????
This shows that you definitely need to upgrade to Vegas. The various clip sizes, subtitles...bleh. Get Vegas and become friends with cropping

Anyways other than what I pointed out, it was a pretty good amv, though i have no clue what ./hack is about xD
Most of the beat timings were precise and on point, and clips matched what the song was talking about.
Though one other problem I need to point out, why does the sound of the song all of a sudden change around 1:05-1:06?

Yeah I forgot to mention, don't bitch at me about the lyrics lol. I can't help that on WMM ^^

Oh and about that sound change. That's where I originally stopped the AMV. When I just got back to it, I downloaded the song, but apparently it was a softer version.

But thanks for the critique XD

This was more of an improvement but still, as you said so already, no focus point. Like Gamer, I also don't anything about .hack but I agree that editing was way better than the other AMV's you did. Timing was great and choice of clips was almost great but again with the credits and subtitles is a no-no. Overall, a nice way of saying goodbye to WMM on a highnote. Keep at it!

TheTerrorofDeath · 09/28/08, 03:31 AM

Are you guys repeating that the subtitles are a no-no because there's a way to remove them on WMM? If not yes I already knew that they weren't good for the video. But alot of the good footage from the game was in the intro's which had text. So sorry. Either way, thanks for the review Blue.

SharinganBlue · 09/28/08, 03:37 AM

Just saying only those parts with the subtitles and credits need to be cropped out and on WMM, its not possible but you can remake the video when you upgrade yourself to a better editing program will have cropping. The rest of the footage was great nontheless.

Alright thanks.

So what would be recommended next? Abobe or Vegas?

SharinganBlue · 09/29/08, 01:04 AM

Most people would use Vegas but I happen to be one of the people who use Premiere.

Either way, they both are a step up from WMM and both are qualified in my opinion. The rest is up to you.
