About the video:
I've been working on this for a little over 5 months now, I did the best I could and for the first time ever I didn't cut corners. With that said, I hope my hard work pays off ;D
Now for the issues:
I ran into a few things that were simply out of my control, like the quality of the music video for one. But it's to be expected since the music video was compiled from fan-submitted footage; so I had to do my best to work around it. One thing that particularly stands out is that the entire first part of the amv is in grayscale. This is gonna be one of those hit or miss situations but I felt it was necessary to match my editing with the music video (since most of it is in grayscale). Another thing that will be hit or miss is my use of pan/crops. I feel that I effectively used pan/crops throughout most of the video, but then again that's based on what I was trying to portray. I tried to replicate the "shaky-hand" effect that home footage usually has and I think I got it right at some parts and failed miserably at others; but I guess that's for you to decide now.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, even if you hate it, so be sure to leave comments :3
