Looking for AMV critique!

Post by DM9Rei »

[color:darkred]I'm looking for people to critique my amvs!
These were my first two that I've ever done without anyone to teach me so yea XD
They are both Kingdom Hearts with Evanessance songs. If you don't like either of those, don't watch them, I won't take comments saying you hated it because of the game or the song. Thank you very much for your help!!![/color]

1st one: lacks the proper flow with the music. Sync is almost entirely absent. Subs = insta-fail.

2nd one: Flow was a lot better, but was interrupted by text on several occasions. Missed sync opportunities multiple times on heavy beats. Subs again.

What Justin said, plus you re-used a couple of scenes (it's hard not to using Kingdom Hearts footage, there's so little to work with). It also seems like you tried too hard to make your scenes match your lyrics in the first one.

My biggest problem with the second one is that it's supposed to be a video about how Roxas is imaginary, yet we see more of Sora than we do Roxas. Yes yes, I know they're the same person technically, but still. :\ It did flow much better than the first, but there were a great deal of missed sync opportunities and of course, the subs.

pretty much what they said. though it was nice on the first one, making it looking like the opening look like he's talking to his friends. (never played kingdom hearts before so please forgive me)

noticed an few lip faps in there as well.
