Last comments VideoBeats

Really unique amv c: I especially like the way it brings to life a specific kind of boredom without being boring and still conveys that feeling really well. Also nice scene selection overall!

Really enjoyed it c: one of my favs so far! GL!

The forum isn't that active anymore. Most things happen on discord.

Don't worry i can take that kind of stuff ^^ I've been on the internet and in the german amv community for long enough. Just isn't really inviting for newer people on this site to be active.

Definetly nothing special. We just played around with combining two different anime in each part and had fun with the song.
I still enjoy watching it although the sync definetly could be more interesting at times.

regarding this comment section: I think it's really important to be honest with your opinion. It's something i really like about this community. I don't really get why people have to be rude though.
For example Leberate: I can understand that you might have synced this really differently and thats good to know as i really enjoy most of your works. But i wouldn't go to your last video that i didn't enjoy and tell you that you are braindead because the anime song combo is garbage. I would simply say that i didn't really get the anime song combo and the video didn't work for me because of that reason. (just an example i'm really looking forward to your upcoming videos c:)

Maybe google translate didn't translate it that well though.

really like the structure of the amv and also a really interesting take on the anime c:

nice idea and well executed. Only complain is that the song isn't the best choice. Would have been better if it wasn't an IC video :/ song pools kill way too many amvs :p

nice sync and atmosphere c: Don't think the last sentence in your description was necessary. It's better to let the viewer experience the video their own way, cause I was focused on that aspect a little too much while watching the first time. Art is always also a result of the perception of the viewer and if you give away too much information beforehand it kinda ruins that personal interpretation. Nice video though! Good Luck!

Finally an amv with good music c:

Must have been a challenge to edit that anime in this style. GJ c:

love it

cute girls doing epic things

luv it c:

bullshit, if you use presents then dont be afraid to say about this on description then, why its should be fair when we talk about competition? Why guys who making everything by themself should be judged in the same way as the another guy who using presents and templates? u guys so funny :D

If you cheat then say this on decription, that my point, but you guys hating everything what i say on this website and when people like padre trying to compete outside amvnews and fail they don't accept that they doing something wrong and just saying that it was bad judges, hah good luck with that mentality

and about poster, i don't wanna flexing here with knowledge but i know something about this, so for me that was just another fact why people overhype padre if they even liking this poster lol or its just bad teste idk, dont wanna judge that

This comes all down on how you judge amvs. Your argument makes sense if we were to judge effort as being the only criteria. Effort is one of the less important criteria in my opinion, but i can understand why people wanna acknowlegde when someone puts in much time. But for example if i were to redraw every frame of the anime (i really can't draw for shit) the video would be terrible but still, i put in much effort. The most important aspect of amvs is the combination of song and anime in my opinion and you have many ways to make such a connection really work. Some concepts need more effort and transformative effects and compositions, others don't. In the end the concept and how it's fleshed out is whats to be judged. In case of presets, you have the advantage of putting in less time, are using pretty overused styles and graphics though, so you need to use them in an interesting way. Like padre did by placing them into the anime in a fitting way. Also in this case the effects are a nice addition, but the internal sync and scene selection make it a good video, but let's ignore that for now. If you make everything yourself you have it way easier making something that fits your video and looks unique = judges will acknowledge that. Still if your effects don't match your song and anime and feel handfisted or like a brag and don't really add to the video, thats even worse than using some presets that support your original concept. Just wiriting this because i think the main problem is just different focus in different communities. Not saying anyone is right or wrong for having different thoughts on what matters when making amvs. Ofcourse you can always write your opinion and it might help people to think outside their own bubble. Thats why i'm writing this. Cheers

P.S.: I agree with you on the poster. It's kinda broing and has no visual tension. Also telling people you used presets might be a nice move indeed, but most judges should be able to tell anyways :)

Theres no problem with using presets if you manage to implement them into the vid in a creative and fitting way ^^ Of course would be even better if it was all made by himself. Still better than making unfitting and useless effect whoring just because you think that shows some kind of skill :p
