I watched the video, because I edited the same song myself just a little while ago..and really, I couldn't appreciate the Video in any way.
The Movie didn't seem to connect to the song at all, nor did the editing, it looked like some random scenes of the movie thrown into a song that doesnt with it.
Hi, your video was chosen for this week's amv discussion, where a group of your peers get together in IRC to talk about an AMV. I'll put a followup message once the log goes online. You might get a few other critical responses, these aren't meant to insult, they are just that, critiques. Take them as opinion and at face value, please.
Background on me: I haven't seen this movie, nor have I heard this song before. The movie looks really interesting and I like steampunk. The song is a bit too stretched out for my liking, but it evoked an interesting mood.
Good Parts to me:
- your matches up of movie/song was pretty interesting, and I always have trouble with videos using this kind of animation, but I think the song captured that akwardness as well, complimenting each other.
- great ending with "sleep alone", I really got the feeling like he was freezing into ice, very reminicent to AI's "proper" ending.
- some decent lyric sync in a few places, like open sores
- I had trouble seeing it at first but there's some decent continuety here, with him going from the walkway to the airport to in the airship, even lowering the bird into the storm... you are telling a story here... with the crash into the tower (I refuse to make a 9/11 reference here)
Part V and him tumbling into the oblivion... the bird repeat was uneeded here, it dind't fit... but at the end you have him on the ground where he fell, with a blood transfusion. It's rare to see this kind of complete story.
Bad Parts:
- I couldn't get into the song, and the animation wasn't engaging, even if it was very pretty. This left for a video that at first you go "oh wow, gorgeous, great match!" but quickly loose interest to. How are you going to hold my attention?
I'm not asking for fancy effects or a fight sequence, but some matchups that seem to work well sometimes aren't the best after all when they are boring.
- the scene repeat of the bird at the end, completely unecesary
- This isn't something wrong with the video, but as a primarily visual work, it would of been nice to have a download link to a HQ version, so that I could appreciate the work you put into it more. youtube rare does it justice, especially with the forced black bars.
- Again not wrong with the actual video, but A studio logo. I know this is common enough in vidding, but I find it really distracting. If someone is going to rip off your video, they will do it anyways, and they will claim your logo is actually theirs. It proves nothing at all. I've seen it happen before many times, and I'm sure I'll see it again. The logo is like DRM, all it does is get in the way and detract from the video for your legitamite viewers/fans.
Thanks for the critique, It's greatly appreciated! You make very good points, and I think I've only watched this myself somewhere under 15 times, so yes...Not very engaging.
I agree with the studio logo, but there arn't any unhindered copies that i could find.

I wouldn't say it's an AMV, since Jasper Morello isn't an animu, but meh. Good work nonetheless.

Cheers.. but AMV is 'Animated Music Video' ...so technically it is.
