Honestly, it wasnt that great. Next to none of the scenes in the clips matched up with the lyrics. Frankly it just seemed like you slapped alot of random clips from seed eps into a badly picked song with way too many nasty jumpy transitional effects.

Please dont in anyway take offense to my comments but those are the joys of amv creation. Lord knows Ive had my share of bad amvs rubbed in my face till it bled.

OK first FYI Im not offended but I spent at least 7 hours in to this AMV and had to download 6 SEED episodes and convert them into avi format :O, 2nd I do not know if you know the lyrics to this song and I've got some pretty good comments about it so far and pretty much everything goes along :D yet thank you for your comment :P!

No offense but I'm gonna agree with this, it did look like a load of scenes just slapped together with very little attention to the song. I do infact love that song, it's one of my all time favourites and a very powerful song, quite frankly your AMV kinda dulled it down for me.

I'm not saying my AMV's are perfect, my first bunch were jaw droppingly disastrous:x , I just picked a load of clips and shoved a song over them, not a good way to do it in the slightest.>_<

Tips for your next AMV (think of it as constructive critisism):

1) When you pick a song, listen to it a few times and familiarize yourself with all the main points, timing, beats, changes in the melody, lyrics, etc... trust me, this helps A LOT.

2) When listening to the song, try and think of scenes which best suit both your aim of the video and the lyrics; then plan it out roughly in your head first. (I found that during some of the more quiet parts of the song there was a lot of action still on the screen in your AMV)

3) Play around with the timings on editing and be careful not to use loads of different transitions.

4) Try and match certain points on the footage with beats in the song, it really enhances the experience.

Take all these into account when you make an AMV, I came up with these guidelines a few months ago, and since then I have produced AMV's far better then my early work.

Oh and one last thing, take a look at this AMV for a few pointers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOt75fbK5yQ; it uses the same song as your's. This is practically the best AMV I have ever seen, the guy who did this is a genius, plus it perfectly illustrates the points I said earlier.

Good look with your nest AMV, I look forward to seeing it.^_^

LOL thats exactly what i did and what i do!!!

[Shin Asuka]

just rewatch a few times and get it, it makes sense when you really pay attention to it!!

[Shin Asuka]

So far the only messed up part is when the freedom is just sitting there in the air!

[Shin Asuka]

Just at least believe me when i say this I did NOT just slap clips down i also have my share of crappy amvs

[Shin Asuka]

Thanks for the tips though

[Shin Asuka]

OK honestly I think I figured this out :D I think you guys are saying that the video is crappy because you guys have made amvs before so you know what to look for and what it takes, something that might of taken me away could seem like childs play too you, I am 100% honest I put alot of time into this and so i was expecting more for it :P THANKS ALOT If you guys like Inuyasha do you guys mind checking another one of my amv's for me?
