Finally was able to post this. I've been working wit After Effects for a little less than a month, with the help of some great people. So, I'm not pro at it by far, but I guess you can say this was a test video. I also took a bit of a different approach to the "Dance" of this, I didnt include any characters dancing (which may work against me) but I made the scenes do a little "dance" for you instead.
FINALLY PUT THIS UP!! you definitely outdid urself with this one. despite the results u still showed that u improved and will continue to improve. u just gotta get better with managing ur time with these things and stop stressing so much. the outcome of ur vids will be much better when ur not buggin about them the whole time.

Haha, man, ur so right. I do stress with these types of contests, it may have been becuz i was watching the countdown the whole time lol Also, being team cap. put some pressure on me to do well for u guys. But i really love the outcome of all of our vids, u and Donovan really did a great job, and for Donovan even more so, he never makes vids passed 30 secs lol. Thanks for joining this wit me, man. despite the outcome, it was a pleasure. u guys are great teammates and even better friends <3

There was some lack of beat sync mostly in chorus, also the star effect at the beginning of bakemono wasn't really nice.
Good inventivity though (except some fx who doesn't follow very well the music like the slices in bakemono near the middle).
It's precursor to something bigger.
Good luck with your next one !
thanks for the feedback! I have to agree with u about the beat sync and the fact i used alot of action may have worked against me this time around. I dont do 3 day IC's often so i wasnt sure how to please the judges but next time i will know better lol and next year u'll see me in that top spot! thanks man.

I wanted to tell something especially to your video.
I know it ended up quite low this time but your video wasn't that bad actually. What happened is that you had A LOT of unexpected problems to render apparently and you ended up sending us a wmv with blending frames. It's not like we really gave penalties for that, but I hope you understand that it made your video REALLY less enjoyable than it could have been.
I'm happy you don't feel too down about it because really, I think your editing wasn't bad and some effects on bakemono were enjoyable even though it's also true the pace seems to slow down more than it should have, IC obliges I guess. It wasn't a bad video, far from it actually, so keep it up
Thanks for not wanting to give up btw, you really seemed to have it hard during the IC

Thanks alot! I do apologize for all of our inconveniences, as team captain i take full fault in that. I do appreciate u telling me this, so i will know for next time. it was certainly a pleasure to take part in this IC contest for the first time, regardless of the results. I'm not easy to give up on anything i do, so this is just the beginning ha.

Hey there, I could enjoy your work overall. Some parts could be better and the video quality is pretty much meh, but I like some ideas (like the transition/synch in 1:04 <3). Frame blending is a big pain in the ass for me though. The Bakemonogatari effekts in 1:07 feel a bit too slow for me, because the music tempo doesn't change at all, but your editing speed. So I didn't like this part that much compared to the action parts. I agree with MDL in his statements. So good job and make sure your next video is not a wmv.
