What do you think of this AMV?

Question

I was experimenting with transitional fading and stuff in WMM.

How can I improve it?

I honestly didn't know where to put it... I love P&S so I put it here. I'm taking a survey of what people think of it.

Answer 1

Hrm, well its hard to really say.
Honestly, try to use songs that are in English.
I have seen in the past that when a creator uses a Japanese song in an AMV, the audience is lost into what the song means to the video as we don't understand Japanese that well, no matter how much we want to.
And they are not very happy about watching a video they don't understand. You won't win a Contest with a Japanese song AMV because the audience won't vote for it.

So thats one: Try an English Song
Two: Try to do more clipping of your videos that you insert into the AMV. I saw that many parts of your video were just long stretches of the footage. People get bored if the video that they have seen before is being played before them, try to jazz it up and cut to just the important stuff. Move the video more, while still trying to hold the effect you want.
I do have to say that some of that stuff worked, like scenes close to the end with the 3 running on the beach.
Its a trial and error thing.
Keep working on creating AMVs and you'll eventually get better.
