We reviewed this in #amv-review. I don't have a log, but it was basically:

<Kionon> I liked this, but it has no review. I won't watch it again.
<mirkosp> Same.
<FallChild_42> Well, it got boring halfway through, but very well edited.
<Kionon> I like the watercolor instrumental bridge.
<FallChild_42> Maybe not watercolour, but yeah, it was good.
<mirkosp> Probably just tossed in whole, without editing. Probably too good to edit.
<Kionon> So we liked it.
<mirkosp> Yeah.
<FallChild_42> Yeah.
<Kionon> Okay, review over.

please read Kalium's AMV Theory primer -> storytelling section it is trying to be #2 but starts every verse with #3 :( I can take a little bit of a literal connection when your making such a video but when you put abstract (or rather random) pictures that can be otherwise translated as 'emotional sync' after it it just seems random. IE the sick kid in the bed. Bad. I know it says 'sick' but the withering flower would have been fine :) most of the rest of the video were somewhat random scenes placed in an order to evoke the emotion you thought the song portrade. No other part was literal. That didn't make sense to me.

I'd also prefer if the bird in the intro went up rather than down :x to be extra picky haha! but overall I REALLY liked this video! This video is magic, it's like crack to my storytelling binge mind.

:( damnit I'm fuckin smasing my mind right now since I MISSED that amv-review :(

<mirkosp> Yeah.
<FallChild_42> Yeah.
<Kionon> Okay, review over.

:up:
<Kio|Editing> Okay, discussion time now
<mirkosp> weeee
<mirkosp> okay
<Fall_Child42> Well Right off the bat I'd like to say how boring I find incubus.
<mirkosp> so well, he abused fades, but aside from that, it's a very nice done vid
<mirkosp> *nicely
<mirkosp> I think a few more hardcuts in places wouldn't have harmed
<mirkosp> also, it was both rushed and fillerish
<Kio|Editing> I agree with that.
<Fall_Child42> It's a very well done video keeps up the pace, good motion, good scene slection, good transitions ... but both times i was watching this I just got really bored halfway through.
<mirkosp> some scenes felt like they were thrown there to fit together, but he also seemed to have used a lot of difference footage and cramped it together
<Kio|Editing> I liked it through the first time, but I was fairly bored during the second watch through.
<mirkosp> I'd say some parts held my interest more than others
<Fall_Child42> The Pencil Crayon section caught my interest again because it was different ... but after that was over I just didn't give a damn anymore
<Kio|Editing> This video is pretty low review for me, but I can see watching it again after I forget about it.
<mirkosp> yeah, it's not exactly rewatchable for me neither, not my fave genre of amv, but still a good one
<mirkosp> after all quality and reviewability aren't necessarily linked together
<Kio|Editing> I like te instrumental bridge section
<Kio|Editing> with the watercolor portion
<mirkosp> yeah
<Fall_Child42> yeah
<Fall_Child42> though i'm not sure it's watercolour
<mirkosp> that felt like the animation was done just for that
<mirkosp> actually I get the feeling that section was mostly unedited
<Kio|Editing> It did go very well together
<Kio|Editing> but even it was unedited, it worked
<mirkosp> and it might very well be, but I'm not complaining since it fits so well
<mirkosp> yeah
<mirkosp> kinda like accidental sync
<mirkosp> you just drop the scene and are like "wow... this works so well that further editing would be a crime"
<Fall_Child42> yeah I love those moments
<Kio|Editing> I'm not a fan of the source, either anime or music.
<Kio|Editing> So the fact I like the video has much to do with the editing.
<mirkosp> I haven't seen an anime, but since I've been a beta tester, I know there are a lot of effects
<Fall_Child42> story was simple
<mirkosp> but I'm amazed at how if I didn't know about them, I wouldn't be able to tell that some of those scenes were indeed altered
<mirkosp> some I can tell that were user made, but others blended very nicely
<Fall_Child42> yeah
<Fall_Child42> There's nothing really bad i can say about the video ... synch and technical wise at all
<Kio|Editing> he only thing I didn't like is the same thing you said, too easy to get bored.
<Kio|Editing> But I get bored with the source, so that's not surprising.
<Fall_Child42> well that was short
* Fall_Child42 is now known as FC_LoL
<Kio|Editing> Yep.
<Kio|Editing> Next week, same battime, same batchannel
That's the whole thing.
